ABAKHAN LIVERPOOL
As Sarah was over in Liverpool for a few days the blogging has come to a bit of a halt but the posts behind the scene have been building up! We limited ourselves to only one visit to Abakhan while she was visiting Liverpool, which is just off London Road on Stafford St. As a family we have always gone to the Abakhan in Mostyn which really is a lovely day out, but as Mum hasn't been to the Liverpool one yet she wanted to know how different it was. So here's some pics for you Mum! The Mostyn store is definitely nicer but the Liverpool Abakhan is really handy for me as it has everything I could ever need really and it's not too far away. It has 2 floors with Knitting Yarns & Accessories, Curtain, Soft Furnishing & Household Fabrics, Dressmaking Fabrics, Bridal Fabrics and Accessories, Trimmings, Haberdashery and Sewing Accessories, Ready Made Home Accessories,Craft Fabrics, Hobby & Crafts, Made to Measure Service. Sarah bought a pattern for baby mittens and hats with some wool to make a start on and I bought some fabric. I picked up a couple of patterned pieces to make some tops from and some more satin for my upcoming scarf project. Keep watching this space for updates on all of the above!

MY FIRST PAIR OF SLACKS!
Well Mum you were right, in one afternoon I was able to make myself a pair of trousers from scratch. It was possibly the easiest pattern I've had to follow and with the genius help every now and then from 'the sewing book' which I will shortly be adding to the library how could anything go wrong? I bought the fabric ages ago from Abakhan in Mostyn North Wales and the pattern was a vintage vogue one that I was given by my Grandparents over the easter holidays. It doesn't have a date on it but it was from back in the day when trousers were called slacks! There will be a few minor adjustments I'll be making on my future slacks from this pattern, which again is a first for me but I'm am just so happy to have found a pattern that works well for me. Smiles all round for the slacks please ladies as they will soon be replacing my pipe leg dark jeans! Mum will be so happy!
