This afternoon, I had the urge to make myself a top.
This pattern had been stashed away, and the fabric was on sale a while ago,
thought it would make a good test fabric for the pattern.
It did not take long, I just put hat elastic in the neck instead.
Here is the (almost) finished product.
2nd boy laughed from the tramp.
The husband said "hello Gladys" (my MIL)
It's a bit frumpy, and I feel like I have Buzz Lightyear Shoulders.
(actually looks better in the pic, my left hand gives it some shape)
It may just be for painting, if I ever have the urge to do that!
Every now and then I get a bee in my bonnet
about making something for myself to wear,
never turns out how I expect it too.
Why do I bother, should just stick to wht I know.
Do you try and make clothes for yourself ?
Any luck with it?
Enjoy your weekend
Jacqueline.
Hee hee, don't worry it's not just you! I've made a couple of tops that ended up in the bin. They're really difficult to get right.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't mind it, but the most important thing has to be that you like it. I say keep trying as when you find something that you do love - you can make it over and over in all different colors for all seasons and again when it wears out!
ReplyDeleteWhoops! But, I think if you pop a cardy over the top to settle it down a bit it could work a treat!. Good on you for having a go.
ReplyDeleteI took a leaf out of you book today and had an afternoon Nana nap. Excellent!
I know where you are coming from but all is not lost. I made a similar pattern and ended up shirring around the bottom over my hips, I also shirred the bottom of the sleeves on one but yours might be a bit short. Nothing to lose. I also agree it might be handy to wear under a cardy.
