This is my sister saving the ice-cream cake as my nephew tried to stick his hands in!
This is what I made on Sunday. I have never made an item of clothing before and I have never used a pattern. I made this up on the fly basing the design on a top that I already had. It was quite painful because I had to keep putting it on and taking it off again to get it to fit properly. I did a lot of unpicking and re-sewing but I finally got there in the end. Yippee! It's still a bit tight under the arms so I might just have to do some more un-picking at a later stage.
I started on another top yesterday. I just have to sew the straps on and modify the back of it a little bit, so hopefully I will finish it today.
In other news, I joined Brown Owls on the weekend. I joined up as a Sixer so I can go to 10 meetings a year. I've never done anything like this before so it's a bit nerve racking. I can't wait to meet some new crafty ladies but I'm a bit shy so I might just hide in the corner at the first meeting. I'm hoping that I might learn how to knit and crochet. I'm also hoping that I might learn how to use the overlocker that I bought on Ebay...
Hi, I just found your blog. I really enjoy it and will be a return visitor!
