Here's my outfit today
Me wearing me made top, snuggly Monsoon cardi and an M&S skirt I wish I could make more of. |
Me without the cardi, I was brave only for the length of this picture and then it was straight in to the warm! |
The fluffy cardi is a must as it's still rather nippy, it's a favourite from a Monsoon sale a year or two ago, I'd really like to have a go at making a bolero like this but the fabric shops I've frequented lately mainly only stock cotton and my knitting isn't up to much so I'll have to wait a bit longer. Speaking of wanting to make things, I'd really like to learn how to make the pleated panels on this skirt as I get a lot of compliments on it and would like it in another colour. I've seen a tutorial on how to pleat fabric for a bag so may just cobble something together from that to make one myself.
So seen any good films lately?
I've said before I know, but I do love that top! Its a gorgeous fabric and its so different for me to see clothing with it when I always think quilt / bag. I'd even say this fabric looks best as a top! Not seen any particularly good films lately, but Sky did treat me to the most AWFUL bit of crap I've seen in years - Textuality - really, truly, utterly, painfully, pants. I'd say its 90 minutes of my life completely wasted but i was too knackered to move so at least I can claim the time would've been wasted anyway!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's some strong feelings about a film! ;) I think I'll give it a miss then!
ReplyDeleteYou really should try parting with some of your lovely quilting fabric to make a top for yourself sometime. That AMH cotton voile is especially nice in a top as it's sooo soft and comfy. I love this top too as there's lots of colours without it being too overpowering.
