Well, I didn't take this picture, but that's what it looks like at my house tonight!I did get a little sewing done today and finished my Simplicity blouse. I've made this before, but this time I used totally different fabric and used different sleeves. I have a blouse that has satin trim binding at the neck and I liked that look. Also, I thought this fabric would make me look too washed out without a little contrast, so I made the yoke out of lining fabric and cut bias strips to bind the sleeve hems. I really like the way it turned out and it's pretty comfortable. This would probably make a good pajama top!
I have way too much school work to do, but I'd really rather be sewing something. I am so excited; Cidell is sending me something in the mail. shhhhhh - it's a secret :-)
So, the picture below was taken a couple of hours ago. Now it's raining with thunder and lightning!
We have had rain twice this week...rained all day yesterday.. looks like more today. Love it!

Enid - do you have a blog? I'd love to see it if you do. - and are you one of the Enids on PR?
ReplyDeleteVery cute top - and I'd love it as a nightgown or "morning coat", whatever they are! I like them in the morning before I dress. Can't stand staying in the pj's!
ReplyDeleteEspecially appreciate your contrast detail - you are right, it does make a difference!
Great top! It looks perfect over jeans
