« FINALLY! A finished Elspeth! | Main | AWOL »
Cotton Dress!
June 24, 2005
Thanks for the comments on Elspeth! I have also finished one of the secret projects, so now onto the others! One of them is less secret so I'll show it next week I reckon.
But for now, here's the dress/top I made from the fabric I bought last friday :) It was pretty quick and nice to do some sewing! I have a ton more fabric to use to I should do some more really - especially as I need summer clothes really badly!

Right, back to working on the secret knitting projects. Somehow knitting is less fun when it HAS to be done.....still loving it though really :)

So cute. I have been wanting to try that shirring type of technique myself. It has such a cool look.

That top is so cute! I love when you post your sewing stuff, as I'm migrating more and more to sewing rather than knitting these days. Such talent!

That is so pretty, I lvoed the fabric when you showed it to me but I never imagined it would look so cute as a dress / top. Beautiful and just the weather for it at the moment too!

ooh, sorry to hog your comments but I had to say that my gran has some of those moving hands magazines as well and they totally rock!

Excellent top!!!

Jen! I have a lot of issues of this (all of the first three volumes, and most of the fourth, I think) that I just don't have room to store. Do you want them? I was going to eBay them, but you can have them for just the postage if you like.. :)

It's really cute!

That is fab. And you look amazing in it. I've heard of those mags but never seen them. You're so lucky your mum kept them all.

I remember Golden Hands too. My mum got them and stashed them but I can'tr remember her ever sewing anything. She must have bought them for the Knitting patterns.

What a cool top!! Love it!
I remember being a little girl in the 70's and having a top similar to that and my big sister having a matching one. They are so cool!
Is the shirring difficult to do?

You are SO talented!! I love this top! I've seen tops like this in stores and wanted to buy a couple (yours is actually better). Great job :) How is Jemma coming?

Did you know that there is a webring on ringsurf for Jennifer's now? Our name is so common, I thought it was cool :-)

So stylish - isn't it true what they say about fashion going round full circle!

LOVE the dress, sooo cool. I am just getting back into sewing again, and wish I could do something so cool...
Posted by: mia at June 30, 2005 10:48 PM
Really, really pretty. Love the fabric and the shape of it - isn't it nice to think that you will never meet anybody else wearing the same thing and looking so gorgeous?

Super Cute!! What pattern is that from or did you design it yourself?! I love it

So talented! You made a wonderful job, those cost a fortune in the shops at the moment, well done.
