We didn’t get to go camping this weekend after all. It stormed and stormed, with softball-size hail and winds at 70 miles per hour. For three nights straight. So, no camping, but we did enjoy a few meals together and some time by the pool. Thanks to all of you for your great meal ideas…we will use them at some point in the future!
Today I made this sweet blouse using one of my Japanese patterns and two thrifted pillowcases. I love the fabric, and since it’s old and worn-in, it’s super soft and comfortable. It was a little difficult to decipher the pattern and instructions, since it’s all in Japanese, but I eventually figured it out. I did learn a valuable lesson, though…Japanese patterns are tiny! I used the largest size, and it fits me perfectly. Next time I’ll add in seam allowance, since I don’t think it’s included on the pattern, and I had to make teeny tiny seams so it would fit.
I’m so in love with this shirt! I’ve been flipping through the books to find my next project…
