I normally do the top five most liked pics, but this time there's three tied at the bottom. So I'm going to do seven instead.
Just think of it like a bonus!!

Sewing on my wonderful Singer. She is the best. I never want to change her.
The culottes I was sewing though. Failure. They need some work.... Or maybe a bin. Hmm.
6)
Draping a dress to go with some beautiful 30s deco items from my eventual mother in law. The fabric was £2.50 from a charity shop and it's just lovely.
Can't wait to put this together.
5)
Making mince pies with my mum. And feeling like a child again.
This set off a monumental amount of baking in my house when I got home. I've made mince pies, jam tarts, puff pastry for the first time, sausage rolls, pork and apple chutney pies, marmite swirls, and enough food to last months!!
4)
My hair doing wonderful things for a change. Right before I went to bed. Ugh.
Apparently my hair has a sense of humour. Which would explain why when I need to leave in five minutes, it decides its going to look rubbish and be completely unmanageable.
3)
The black satin that finally arrived for my Godmother's housecoat. It's lovely. Just need some pink fleece and we'll be in business!
2)
The housecoat pattern. Which has led to me lusting after one in blue and white stripes...
It's just so beautiful. I see many things being made from this pattern in the future!
1) The top liked post of December is.....:
A terrible selfie of me in a mirror!
Really. Fitting myself for an evening dress I'm making using a top I don't wear anymore, a 25p zip from a charity shop, some fabric from India and mile upon mile of silver bias binding!! It's coming along nicely and is part of my aim for January. Can't wait to see it finished.
Jo :-)
P.S. what were your December best bits? Instagram or otherwise!
