My Debut!

This week I made my debut over at The Sew Weekly with a 'North Western Shirt'.  I am pleased with the outcome - it was a bit of a nail-biting time getting it done and ready for the deadline - especially as it was appearing on the front page but I have a nice sense of achievement now.  It's the culmination of over 6 months of sewing, which I've enjoyed and have learned so much in the process (particularly about how much I don't yet know about sewing!  There are some very talented people out there ...).  Here are the pictures.  I've written all about it's origins and the story behind it at:

Can you tell I'm not around horses all the time?!!!

I think we are both at a safe distance ...

The bandana is 100% cotton too - made in the USA
