Study in Pink

The best antidote to the cold (excluding warm food and drink of course) is something warm and bright. I never thought vivid pink would look good on me. Also according to episode one of Sherlock, if you get murdered wearing bright pink it's much easier for a consulting detective to find your killer. Just a thought.




100% wool skirt - charity shop

This is one of those alterations that's easy but requires care. I carefully unpicked the binding on the hem, cut 10cm off the skirt and restitched the binding on the new hem. I also took the lining up. Invisible handstitches works best on wool, taking care not to pull the stitches too tight and pucker the fabric.
