I'm back! I didn't actually go anyere, but what I did do was study full time for 6 weeks. School everyday from 9.30 to 3.00 plus homework plus preparing for market stalls left me just enough time for eating, sleeping and breathing! - so no blogging for me! I have been spending a lot of time at my sewing machine (now repaired after having a tantrum last week) and heres some of what I've been making.
Inspired by a full circle collar/top-type piece I saw spied in a Japanese sewing book, I have been making "collar scarves" which are reversible pieces which can be worn as a collar/vest/scarf depending on how they are wrapped and pinned around the body. This one was made using plain cotton drill and a bold printed quilting cotton.
The "tails" of the scarf can also be wrapped around the hips and pinned at the front to create a belt
I have also been working on some Japanese-inspired vests. I'm happy with the fact that they have visual interest from all angles.
Hi Mel, looks as if things are going along in a wonderfully positive way for you at the moment. I love the new scarf and vest. You are a very talented chick. Congrats with all the market appearances too.
