the Weekender

In my recent spurt of productivity I made this lovely little jersey which is very hippyish. I love it :)
It's got a wide neck and a flared sleeve which is a bit clumsy sometimes but I'm still very happy with it.


Next I made this animal print work slip on - I'm going through a VERY animal print phase at the moment and just can't get enough of this material. I've bought another piece of it but haven't decided what do to with it yet so I am using it as a scarf and pillow on my day bed w=when I nap - hahahahahaha.

My sis got me this floral material from my favourite shop in Cape Town. I'm not mad about it but it's very difficult to decide to get it when she's sighing on the phone and saying "there's a stretchyish cotton with flowers on it, do you want it?" I always just say Yes because it's so cheap and I can always do something with it. Plus she sort of knows my style and she has semi decent taste so I trust her...sort of :)

the beloved little sis also bought me this lace which I really like and had for ages before I actually did anything with. This is just a little lace top to wear underneath things that are too short or whatever.

20 Sept 2011

It's been a while for which I apologise.

I went on a sewing break because I was wrestling with the DREADED black coat that I decided on a whim to make.

It took AGES!! And completely put me off sewing for a while, luckily I am back with a BANG :)

This is my favourite thing that I've made recently.

It's an infinity scarf, I found the idea on Pinterest (my current fav site) but adapted it to suit my fabric et voila :)

I tied the tape around the scarf where I had sewn it together just to tidy it up. The original plan had been to hand stitch it on but that was way to much of a hassle, hahahaha
Absolutely LOVE this scarf and, if I do say so myself, it looks great on :)

Next I made this work top which is out of a gorgeous crushed material which, as a bonus, I also don't have to iron :)
