Semi-finished

In case people haven't noticed, my posts recently have not been of me and my (not really) clothes, mainly my little random bits of sewing here and there. Welllllll that is largely because all the outfits I wear that I deem cool enough to post consist of 89% of Mariel's clothes, the ones that she has no room for at college and leaves home (PS Mariel, I have been doing a stellar job at putting everything back).

So I put to use my one yard of chiffon and made you (Mariel) a shirt!! I basically took that London Marc Jacobs shirt, made a rough outline of it on the yard of chiffon folded in two and grabbed my scissors and cut away!! And then I clumsily sewed everything together. I'm not yet finished with the right sleeve and the neckline but I will be done in a few days and you will have a new shirt coming in the mail soon.

That is the shirt (above). I tried to get the entire shirt in backlighting so you could see the see-throughness of it but it was not working.

Okay and now, in order, is the completed sleeve, the bottom hemline and the unfinished neckline.

Sweet! I cannot wait for you to get it because then you can wear it, figure out what works with it and what doesn't and when you come home for summer I can wear it!!

And finally, my new shoes have come in the mail.

outfit post soon to come. xxx
