The beauty of having a sewing area all set out is that when a whim strikes you, it is possible to create something with a minimum of disruption to the rest of the household!
My eldest daughter, Lisa gave me a lovely selection of fabrics and notions for my birthday several years ago. A few weeks ago, while sorting out my ever expanding collection of remnants and beautiful fabrics I came across a lovely piece of sheer chiffon that Lisa had given to me.
This is what I created...
My dressmakers dummy, or Mavis as I call her, is probably one of the best investments I have made. It makes sewing so much easier when I can pin the garment onto a lifesized version of me! (it also means that the husband doesn't have to run and hide, just in case I ask him to model it for me!)
It looks lovely with a tan or blue camisole or singlet underneath and the 3/4 sleeves are perfect for this time of year!
Hmmm...I might just wear it today...
