My Creative Space - hoo hoo


This week I SO wanted to sew a top for S. We've had some hot weather, and I've had this gorgeous owl fabric (from Tessuti) calling my name. (Because S's name means 'wisdom' I'm subtly suggesting a bit of an owl theme for her childhood.)  So last night I stayed up and just did it.


Of course, when I asked S to put it on so I could take a photo, she insisted on heading straight out to the ride-on mower for the shots. Hmmmm. Interesting choice.


And modelling in general meant an particular stance.

I love this pattern. It's from this pattern book, and it has just enough little details to be special. There was a time when I wouldn't attempt anything with 'extras' like pleats and frills, but now I'm keen to make really special things that will be treasured and worn because I just love seeing my kids wearing them.


Head over to kootooyoo for more of today's creative spaces.

  3. Love the fabric! Love the model! I'm yet to use that book ... it takes me about 6 months to tackle a Japanese pattern ... and that's the simple ones!

    Very pretty top, great sewing job! I read that all the pattern instructions are in Japanese - how'd you find working with that pattern?.....Are the diagrams very detailed or are you just clever?

  9. Yeah- she's pretty cute...Top's not bad either. Lilly likes the photos, particularly your little diva! I finished the quilt. The last one is nearly done. I'm going to put them in the St Vinnies Christmas hamper, but I'll take some photos first.
