Sorbetto with Granny

Since it's the weekend, I wanted to take a break from the sew-along and share with you what I got up to last weekend with my Gran. Do you remember the fabric I bought for my gran just after Christmas? Well last Sunday we spent the day having a sewing date to sew the fabric together into a Sorbetto Blouse.


It was quite fun introducing my gran to the concept of downloadable pdf patterns, and even more fun spending the day sewing with her.

We used a self bias binding around the arm and neck holes, but turned it around to the outside so it was visible.


Doesn't the top just look fantastic on her! Thanks for a very enjoyable day Granny!

  7. How cool is that! I don't get to sew with my grandmother, but I do have her sewing machine so I guess she's sort of sewing with me after all. The sorbetto and the choice of fabric looks great on your grandma!

  10. Your gran looks fab in the sorbetto! What a fun way to spend a weekend, I do wish I'd had the chance to do things like that (my mum's mum sadly died before I was born and my dad's mum has no interest in sewing) but never mind, hopefully I can take this sort of lovely tradition forward. Go generational sewing!
