Here is a quick roundup of some garments I made from Pochée Vol. 9 Spring 2010. This Japanese magazine features some really nice shirt patterns as I mentioned in an earlier post, but there are more than just great shirts in this issue.

Scottish Shortbread Recipe!
Today I made stuff to eat outta nuthin...and I decided to write about it! I have several books on tea and foods to make for taking tea, one of my favorites is The Afternoon Tea Book by Linda Hewitt, published in the early 80's, it is now quite the vintage classic! The recipe for Scottish Shortbread is the simplest I have ever seen, most call for cornflour in the recipe, this does not. 3 ingredients, and a delicious result, follow the link for recipe!

2011 Review...
2011 looks like a scant year for sewing if you go by my posts, but really it was just a bad year for posting...
I actually did a lot of repairs that made clothing wearable again, I did some embroidery and some garment sewing that is not photographed yet. It's so much easier to photograph an object like a stuffed rabbit than to photograph yourself wearing a dress, as you can see from my photos in the mirror on the Lotus dress! The solution is to obtain help but I'm not so good at asking for that. This must be why so many bloggers have photos of their frocks on hangers instead of on themselves.
Anyway, I thought I would make a list of all the things I did not post about but made or fixed =0)
so.....please click for more....

Tea Shoppe Quilt
At last the quilt top Mum made is quilted and finished! All the little tea pots and tea cups have been sewn around and flowers have been carefully stitched so that they are not stitched too much...for I quickly found out that too much detail makes the quilt too flat and hard.
I photographed the quilt this morning with the sun at the perfect angle to show all those little details (so long as you turn off the flash). Click the link for more detailed pictures!
