although my need for sequin skirt was acute, I dreaded the thought of unpicking all those little buggers. Every blog I read on the subject was agreed on this necessity before sewing but no! It is not so and halleluja sisters.

But sewingland is fun and here is my part of Shorts On The Line August shorts appreciation society. And I will try to not be justifying posting about "just" sewing ever again.

They are often my more adventurous tops, pants and dresses, things I need to make because I cant find them out there or they just strike me as being a happy combination of fabric, design and purpose.
