Another t-shirt with a twist...

Whipped up another t-shirt today - only took an hour, including mess-ups! It is much clingier than my black flowery one so not sure how often it'll get worn. 

The fabric is one I bought on eBay, thinking the bows would be small- ermmmm, maybe not so small!!

Big bum!!

'Quick' kimono t-shirt

Whipped up a top today from some stretch fabric I've had lying around for ages. Made from a free pattern here at MariaDenmark . It's turned out really nice actually!! 

Will definitely make another in a different fabric and see if I can do it in less than 90 minutes this time! Wore it straight away and am really pleased with it!

Alas.... failure!

I don't normally post unless I'm proud of something and have a sense of achievement about what I've sewn.........


Today is not such an occasion! I'm posting due to the hilarity of it all! The waste of 1.5 hours or a project I was really looking forward to. The wreckage made of one of Dan's nice shirts - oops! (He did know I had 'borrowed' it!). The unflattering, badly sewn, mis-measured, untested effort that was accomplished today shall herein be known as...... the failure!


Here it is (please excuse the hair, glasses, PJ bottoms - this little number did not warrant a shower or getting dressed into an 'outfit' really!)......

So, the empire line is too high and it will certainly be too short with a full bump.....

But does that really make it a failure? I guess not....

...............................

But this surely does..............

Think the sleeves were a little tight plus I may have made it a little snug around the back! 

Please feel free to snigger, comment, laugh out loud or text me your condolences/sarcastic congratulations/witty remarks about this effort - I deserve them all!
