little sunhat for mae. made from this pattern (found thanks to summer pickles) but it seemed way too shallow to stay on anybody's head, let alone a baby's, so i added some loose elastic. still don't know if she'll ever wear it but it's pretty cute, anyway.

not two weeks after telling dana that i had given up on the idea of even sewing myself clothes, i decided on a whim to whip up this tunicy top from one of my japanese craft books. but, you see, i'm not at my japanese waif-y best after giving birth three months ago so it's a little *snug* around the hip area, where it should be all loose and flowy. whatever, it was a great experience and i'll hang onto it until it fits properly. i promised myself that i wouldn't by any more japanese craft books until i actually finished something from one of them so you know what this means... except that now i have to wait for the aussie dollar to recover a bit. damnit.

selvedge from the above top, just cause it's so nice. so nice, in fact, that i decided to forgo hemming (which i hate anyway) and leave the selvedge on the bottom and sleeves of the top.
Oh the quilt is looking so lovely, I can so see you "buying it from yourself" as soon as someone looks at it.
ReplyDeleteHow quick is that November date coming!
Leslie, love the quilt. I was just wondering (and this may be a stupid question) but how do you get the stitching on the top of your binding? It looks so much neater than the way I do it which is stiching the binding on the front with right sides facing then wrapping it around and hand stitching the back.
ReplyDeletecass, i do it the same way as you except that i just machine top stitch through all the layers rather than finishing the other side by hand. it's not perfect but i don't mind the way it looks and i'm the slowest hand stitcher in the world : )
ReplyDeleteyour quilt is beautiful - i love how the fabrics you chose are not too matchy-matchy, and yet they look perfect together. love the hat and top as well!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous quilt! it's so pretty and I love the pink binding too.
ReplyDeleteoooh, love the tunic! must steal pattern and adjust tummy area for moi, too! you should just take your quilt and tell people it's a sample and take orders... x
