Some things I was busy with during April.
This top is a tube of black ribbed jersey fabric which I cut two holes into each side. It drapes nicely when worn. Pictured with it is a fabric necklace I made some time ago.
Circle scarf or Infinity scarf made from a blue and white chambray fabric. I practiced my hemming skills to good effect here.
Finally I made a white dress I love to wear! This one is cut based on a dress I brought from Country Road. The original is silk which means I have to hand-wash it and be very careful with it! I wanted a more 'everyday' version so I made my own. My version is made from off-cuts of curtains from Ikea. I brought a bias-tape maker to make the trims for the neckline and armholes. It made everything look so much more neat and professional. Its my new favourite thing to play with.
This skirt is based on a pattern from a Japanese sewing magazine called 'Female'. The magazine is from a few years ago. I added pockets and made the waist wide elastic. However, as you can see, my sewing skills for elastic still need some work!
The skirt is some sort of pixellated pattern and is actually quite bright. Its good for cheering up mid-week.
