8th -13th April
(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:
Aquarius dress
dress with wavey welted pockets
clementine top + lime print skirt
bamboo shoot top + coffee lace skirt
bell-sleeved top + re-fashioned denim skirt
chambray shirt + dusky pink Japanese design skirt
The weather is cooling down beautifully. I love the heat, but extended heat is hard to take. Of course, hark to me in three months time when no doubt I'll be hypocritically complaining about feeling cold.... And I'm aterribly stubborn eco-minded individual who refuses to put on the air con unless we're all fair dinkum dying. Or unless we have company. Ha! Don't worry about the family, but heaven forbid visitors might feel uncomfortable!
I've finally adjusted the coffee lace skirt I am wearing in the following post.... the linen waist bit had started to bother me, that it wasn't a proper waistband. I took it off and re-sewed the waist-hip side seams of the skirt and underskirt, taking in about an inch total at each side of the waist; and straightened the waistband up to be a high, straight waistband. I think the skirt fits me a lot better now, and the waistband sits up at my true waist.
