Sewing Inspiration

I'm itching to get back on my sewing machine but the new job is preventing me at the moment, plus the poor, overworked thing is in need of a service first. However, there's nothing to stop me looking about for inspiration - which is always the fun part - and these are a few things I'd like to have a go at or incorporate into one of my creations:

I love these ruffles, I can imagine putting them on the front of a t-shirt or around the neckline of a dress.

Gorgeous in all possible ways.

Lush, and so easy to whip up with a cheap, plain jumper and a length of ribbon or bias binding.

I really want to take part in this Swing Dress Sew Along, but, again, I'll have to wait. Apparently, the step-by-step photos and the processes will stay up after the project is finished, so I'll have to have a go then.

Back to my drawing board with me and away from the distractions of t'internet!
