delightful don


i finally tried out a weekend designer pattern, after many week-days of bookmarking and hemming and hawing and not wanting to do ANY MATH. this camie pattern was about as much addition and subtraction as i was willing to handle on my first drafting.



i added a stretchy band of unknown material to the bottom to appease r's constant desire to see my figure. (nice, that.) the blouse-y top efficiently handles the belly's inevitable expansion when dining out (one must always think ahead).

it took about 30 minutes to make 2 yards of thin ribbon out of the very slippery body material for the keyhole opening. and about 4 minutes to hack it off and go with a vintage button instead.







oona: do you like this picture?


r: you should add bitemarks to your neck before you upload it. like you've been bitten by a vampire.

BOYS.

  5. I should finally really go through Weekend designer... I don't mind math, as long as something wearable comes out of it. ;-)
    And what a lovely fabric you used for the cami! I think it must look even better in person. And be nice to wear, when it's slippery (although hrd to sew... that's the usual problem with the nicest fabrics).
