OH DEER

I'm now onto my second piece of fabric

which I purchased from Abakhan last week.

I wanted to make my daughter another top.

In hope I can covert her to bespoke homemade.

She picked Prima's August Pattern.

 

Thanks to Sew, incidentally for pic, I have already given away the magazine.

So this is what I've created.

My third try at a concealed zip and
I'm thrilled that they've got easier each time.
It is supposed to have a hook and eye at
the back but I am going to use one of these
buttons.  If you fancy let me know which you
prefer.  Or if your reading this Cat (daughter)  
text me and let me know which one you'd like.

If your very eagle eyed you'll notice it's
not hemmed yet, I'm waiting for my daughter
to try it on.
Unfortunately I didn't have enough 
interfacing which meant I had to head
back to Abakhan again.  So this meant
being drawn into buying more fabric.

 And when I got home I found that some of the
interfacing I had bought was missing from the bag.
So I have to go back tomorrow to collect it.
You know what that means?  I will be tempted to
buy more fabric.  I am going to have to walk in
the store with my eyes shut.
I hope you've all had to wonderful weekend.
Yesterday I sat outside reading the new issue
of love sewing, planning new makes.

Today however has been slightly different.
I had to rescue our parasol from blowing away.
Such weird weather here in the UK.
For now I'm staying warm and heading over to
Handmade Monday

Submarine Sunday 
and 
Frontier Dreams

Thanks for buzzing by.

Update
Here's my daughter wearing the finished top.
I was told I could not include her head.

FYI if you have this pattern I added about
3 inches to the length it's very short otherwise.
And the pink button was chosen for the back.
