14th - 19th February
(I've pledged to wear only clothes handmade by me this year and to sketch my daily outfits in my Fashionary. I'm calling this the paper doll project)
from left:
pink lace dress over pink satin petticoat
border print dress
Bamboo shoot top, embroidered yellow shorts, ivory hat
navy/white check top, green gingham shorts, green knitted hoodie
blue top (worn as pictured in the last look here), white shorts, ivory hat
dress made from an old polo Tshirt
You can see we had a brief but refreshing and energising cool spell. Sunday felt positively wintery after the last few sweltering weeks we've had, so I actually had a woolly cardigan on hand for early morning and late evening. Today it's back to 38C. Craziness.
eta: Thursday was Valentine's Day :) so I wore my most romantic dress. I made a picnic of pate and bikkies, prawn and avocado salad, and strawberries, and we took it along with a bottle of champagne down to the river, to sit on the grass and watch the sunset. Just lovely.
Have you joined "Map the Sewintists"? A fun and informative initiative by Vicki, of Another Sewing Scientist. If not then get thee to Google maps posthaste and pin yourself onto your spot!
