While I'm patiently waiting for my fabrics (at this point I even welcome a letter from customs!) I have been sorting through old sketches and developing new designs. I aim to add a tunic to my shop collection soon, well as soon as fabrics arrive.
I made a summer top for myself in vivid colours. I made the drawstring tunnel with a bit of satin I had left over. I like the versatility of this top - dress it down with jeans or cargo pants; or up with a cropped black jacket and slim skirt.
I used this same pattern albeit with a feather light cotton eyelet to create my snow white pajama set, which was featured recently in my bloggy friend Kristin's treasury. Note the new wig for my mannequin :)
Meanwhile our comfy couch for the reading room has arrived. As many of my readers have requested pics I hope to post some really soon!
Take care everybody,

Hello Duni! All the while I thought your manequin was a real human person. Hahahahaha! I looked at it closely and learned the truth. If you did not mention the new wig of your manequin then I would not have noticed. hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky and talented. You can make your own top. I love what you did. It's so perfect for summer. You are right, the top is so versatile. It matches both pants and skirts.
I hope that your fabrics will arrive soon... Patience is a virtue but a creative mind should never be hindered from working. :)
As always, I wish you more happiness! :)
Isn't it something how when you are ready to create or start a project things happen to challenge you? I hope you her something soon.
