It is not over yet

Just as many restrictions that were imposed on us due to COVID were being relaxed 17 cases popped up overnight in my local Council area which in turn has caused the health authorities to ask the residents of the northern beaches to get tested if showing symptoms or have been to certain venues and fortunately for hubs and I neither of us are feeling unwell nor have we visited those venues listed.    It has also been requested that residents of the area do not leave their homes  for the next three days unless really necessary and especially keep away from crowded places such as gyms, places of worship and entertainment venues.  

So my plans for today had to be cancelled but looking on the bright side I was able to make an early start on the last  FNSI for the year and finished off my blue fabric basket.   Using up those never ending scraps was one of my WOOFA challenges for the year.    I now have a total of 4 finished fabric baskets with 5 more colours to go.     I will have a break from 2 1/2" squares for a while and pick that project up again next year.    Thanks Cheryll for moving us along during the year.  

I found some pretty fabrics in my stash during the week just waiting to be sewn up into garments for Miss M.  The butterfly fabric will end up being a dress. 

Today the green and pink floral became a twirly skirt

The white broderie anglaise underneath is on the cutting table and will be a peasant top to go with the skirt.     Now that my social life has been curtailed again my aim will be to get both the top and dress finished off before Christmas.  

Thanks Wendy for hosting FNSI on the 3rd Friday night of every month throughout the year so that we can spend time working on or finishing off projects and sharing them with others.     

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
