Finally getting around to posting my ‘working’ pages containing doodles about what clothes to take. I am NOT a light packer (especially when it comes to extras like kettles, tea, hot water bottles etc) so I need some strategies for rationalising my load. These are very rough pages (and somewhat abstract in terms of the actual items of clothing I am thinking of taking), if I had a bit more time it would have been fun to do these neatly… but it is all about process not product.

I am currently sewing 2 dresses (would love to make a third as well) Now I don’t need to do this BUT the summer just past I bought 5 lots of material to make dresses and didn’t touch my sewing machine – so although it is now winter here in Sydney, I am catching up on my chores for summer.

The broken plastic invisible zipper foot I hope will turn out to be a blessing in disguise as I have ordered a proper Bernina foot and in the meantime have started dress no. 2.
