The Two Seam Dress

In recent months I have really started to appreciate really easy to wear, simple pieces of clothing that I feel comfortable in. So with me trying to have a go at as many different sewing projects as I can to grow my skills I came across this blog by Designer Megan Neilsen and this pattern the Two seam dress.

Okay, yes I know it is meant to be a maternity piece but I still really like it, and it seems to be the easiest thing ever to make! So I gave it a go with some very narrow navy and white stripe jersey fabric.

I always wear it with a tan belt around the waist to pull it in but it is the thing I now wear the most!

I tell you to give it a try!

Chair

When we first moved into our house the previous owner had left a lot of old furniture to help us as we were first time buyers. This was very nice of them, but a lot of their items needed a facelift. The first thing I set my eyes on were the dining chairs.

They are pretty good chairs and we had a table and no chairs, but the table is bright orange and these didn't really match. So I waited until we picked our colour theme and then purchased some fabric to match. It was the same fabric that I used for the kitchen blind.

For the woodwork I used some left over paint that we had used on a feature wall. At first I sanded down the wood and then I applied a couple of coats of the paint. They look so much better I think and I have had many compliments which is lovely.

It was the first time I had attempted anything like this, but it really was nowhere as difficult as I thought it would be. Anyone can give it a go!
