Cold day warm dress

Food!

Look what I'm putting together for our (belated) Australia Day party tomorrow here in Piteå. Lamingtons! I bought a sponge cake which was already cut into three layers and put jam in between before cutting them into rough rectangles. Add sloppy chocolate icing and coconut! Delicious!

Testy test

Sewing outside on the loveliest day of the year!

Making yet another blouse! This one is light pink chiffon with pin tucks on the front. I'm worried it's going to turn out weird!





I was inspired by this gorgeous blouse from DreamV... I would have bought it but it's sold out!



Same chiffon type fabric, but my pleas are much bigger. I guess I don't want everyone seeing my underwear? My chiffon is quite sheer so I made the pleats without gaps in between.

This time of year is so lovely as its not too hot to sit outside in the shade.

Blouse progress

Please ignore derpy faces and poor photography. I have not got long enough arms to take photos of myself!

Blouse post-sleeve modification I look grumpy because the collar is so big and awful.



So I removed it!
New version of collar plus brooch.

Cute fabric I'm making a blouse with!

I had such trouble with the pin tucks, you wouldn't believe! All sorted now. I'm using a pattern from a Deco Alice A La Mode magazine, which turned out to be a mistake because I can't read Japanese and they hardly have instructions anyway!
