No completed sewing to talk about at the moment. I've been busy with visitors so this is all I have to show. Unfortunately I underestimated my size (how embarassing) and I can tell it will be too small if I complete it as is. So my plan is to add another strip of the black and white dotty material to the back before I put in the zip and hem it. Hopefully that should be just enough extra width. I just hope it doesn't change the shape too much. I'm really happy with this, and cursing myself for not making it the next size up! The pattern's from Burda 3/07.Wednesday, 18 July 2007

What a shame it doesn't fit, it is just lovely.
Suz, maybe it could be used as dress ups for the girls? A kimino?? It looks lovely though, bugger!
I have that issue of Burda too, and was thinking of making that top when the weather warms up. Now that you have done it, I am even more inspired. Love the fabric you have chosen too.
Suz it looks great, shame about the sizing
that looks gorgeous! my problem is I normally make them way too big!!!
how lucky for you dh is going to tokyo! if you would like me to send some little squares of fabrics you like, when my shops up and running tell me which fabrics you like and i'll send you a tiny square that way he can find it much easier!
Corrie:)
That looks great - I love the contrasting print with the black spots - great job!
I love the fabric combination you have used. Pity about the size though, hopefully the strips will work out fine.
That look lovely! I too have a habit of making things too big for myself as normally things do run small for me (and my + size top half lol!) I'm sure the added strips will still look fabulous.
