Embracing my inner doily



It is clear from the consistency in my pattern choices that I am drawn towards nanna chic in all its outmoded glory.  I cannot fight my predilection towards all that is dated and fogeyed. Therefore I have decided to embrace my inner doily. 


I hope you can see the topstitching in this skirt (mccalls 5429). I used a topstitching needle, thread, foot, stitch length and had a grand old time.

  1. hello Mary Nanna,
    I followed you here from my blog, and I'm so glad I did...a seamstress (I do like it better than sewer) with a wicked sense of humour! I love the phrase nanna chic and will be following your exploits closely.
