Oh i've run away from my sewing for some time cos i haven't known what to make or what to make it with. I went out to dinner with my friend who told me about the infinity dress - it sounded amazing so i reached for my material box and found this weird pink/purple patterned stretch that i thought would work well. I didn't have quite enough to make a circle skirt so i made a straigher one.....urgh disaster - it really didn't look good.
So i tried to make a simple top - the neck was too scooped for me
and so i turned it around...i kinda like the idea but i'm still unsure about the pattern - thoughts are welcome...
but at least it broke my sewing drought and i decided to make another white top - i need to run it through the washing machine as i have a feeling it might shrink a little which wouldn't be a bad thing.
I started looking through my stash thinking i have all this material but a lot of it is just scraps and not big enough to do anything with.. and then I came across Lex's website - of course i can embellish, create broaches and all sorts - duh! So maybe I'll have a go.
On other news - Project Runway season 7 has started - i love that show but i can't seem to be able to download the episodes - i'd gladly do it legally but Lifestyle won't let me subscribe. hmph.
The first top doesn't seem low-cut in the photo -- would you consider wearing with a camisole underneath, or sewing in some lace to raise the neckline a bit? You're in the UK, right? Here in the US we can watch PR episodes online, at www.mylifetime.com. Maybe you can, too? New episodes air on Thursday nights, and they are posted on line by Saturday morning as far as I know.
