Anyhow, enough grumbling. Top no. 2.
I thought the long sleeve version, using my lovely floral vintage fair find. The fabric is a good medium weight, but sadly frays alot!
In my excitement to get on I must have forgotten my brains as I missed to very important steps. Firstly the joining together of the front and more importantly the joining of the bodice to skirt!! What was I thinking? At least my skills must be improving as I was able to ab lib and get the job done!
I'm happy with my finished top, pleased I have another me made for the season!
My next plan may take me a while so it may seem that I am missing in action for a while. I am going to make the lovely wide leg smart trousers from the Burda magazine. Yes they are lovely but it will be the first Burda mag try out and my first pair of proper trousers.
Hope your autumn goodies are coming along!
