'T' is for tomatoes (the only ones that survived the wet summer and various bugs)
'T' is for tyding up (my window sill has never looked prettier)
'T' is for typewriter (found for almost nothing in a charity shop - the boys love it)
'T' is for time and trends and teeth and trousers and tank tops (I must have been about 8yrs old... and I was already crafting away.... check out the dodgy needlepoint, it was a chicken and I remember it very well...)
Till next time...
I did it.
On a wing and a prayer... but I did it.
I read as much as I could find on this pattern. The good and the bad. The lovely and the ugly.
And there was a lot of both out there.
So, this is what I did:
- cut the front neckline deeper
- omitted the button and loop from the top
- sewn/cut the placket only half way down. couldn't understand the point of cutting it really deep only to hand sew it back up later....
- lengthen the hemline by a few inches
I'm so immensely pleased with it!! I love the length of the sleeves, I love the floatiness and the way it hangs. It's very comfortable... it's just the sort of thing I'd buy...
But I made it. Do you have any idea of how that feels??
Me and my new top have had a lovely day together today.

Ta dah!!!
I finally did it.
Not brilliantly, but I did it.
And it fits. Eventually.
In the words on No 3.... "ME DID IT"...
