sewing and dancing - but not at the same time.
I am off to Melbourne tomorrow to see my super super best best friend Yvette and I am extremely excited! She has recently got herself a blog so I can even link to her - three times even! She hasn’t got a digital camera yet but she can borrow mine on the weekend to get some good pics into her blog.
I recently did some artwork for some promo CDs for her fiance Dan and to thank me they very kindly bought me tickets to Sasha and Digweed! I don’t get out much these days but when I do, I make the most of it! I can’t wait. 
Anyway this resulted in the familiar “what will I wear” question so I decided to get sewing and first made a pair of wide-legged pants:
and then a top to go with them, but it ended up that they didn’t work together, so I will wear the new top with the old pants in this pic:
I am quite happy with this top - it should keep me very cool. The photos aren’t that flattering but it took a long time and a lot of fiddling with the camera’s self-timer to get these shots. Here is the pattern I used:
I was going to use the New Look and make the top in the photo, but then I found the Burda pattern and it showed women with much bigger boobs which made me identify more with it, so I ended up making the Burda. It was very quick and easy. Here is the back of the top:
And just because, here is me in jeans and a t-shirt, where I am looking a bit less wide… I think!
Yes I have had all my long hair chopped off - much better!
