Missing my sewing machine...

I saw these very very pretty shorts on The Velvet Bow's twitter, and I am in love. Even though we are going into winter in London my mind is still somewhere in mid-summer... Seeing beautiful things like this that have been handmade makes me pine for my lovely sewing machine in Brisbane, three years is really too long not to have one. I am all about easy and simple DIYs but if you are going to invest in anything make it a good sewing machine, the options for DIY are endless once you have one, and they really are very simple to use. Hong Kong here I come, I'll have to get one when I get there!
