It started yesterday with the morning in bed, an afternoon of retail therapy and then some cupcakes.
Left to right:
85 cent cupcake from Gina's Pastry Shop
$1.70 cupcake from LaBon
$2.25 (or was it $2.50?) rose cupcake from LaBon
I think La Bon's cupcakes are slightly more delicious but they are definitely a close match. Gina's are certainly cheaper and a bit closer to my home. (I asked the cashier, these are really 85 cents? and she said yes!)
I started sewing again! I know! I shouldn't be sewing but I couldn't help myself. We'll see how I feel tmw. Right now, I don't feel any different than before I started sewing today. I stretched before sewing and took breaks, and set a time limit so didn't sew for as long as I would have liked. But I have been wanting to make this nightgown since I saw it on Kitty Couture! Be sure to check out the last picture in that post--what a hoot!
My new friend piping was along for the ride:
I made a nightgown.
Here's a closeup as it exists now:
Cute, right?
I'm trying to decide how to finish it off.
Three square buttons?
Three round buttons with red flowers?
One round button?
Here's the back:
And here it is with the flash, so you can see the embroidery in the fabric:
Of course, I have a lot to say about the pattern, especially since it had bad reviews on SPR. I actually liked it, and will post a review in the next few days to explain why.
I started my next project. Guess what this will be:
Good night!!
Mmmm... 4 day weekend... mmmm... cupcakes... super-duper-cute nightgown! I love your choice of fabric. My first thought on the buttons is that it kind of looks like a kitty-cat face. My second thought was, how comfortable will the buttons be while sleeping? I am the queen of minimalist finishing, so perhaps not the best volunteer to chime in, but there it is, for what it's worth. :)
ReplyDeleteNice work - I like the square buttons but I would vote for the single button finishing also (for aesthetic rather than comfort reasons).
ReplyDeleteNo idea what the next project will be!
