I've only seen my older 2 once so far today - they needed a snack! But otherwise they've been in and out, chit-chatting and comparing books and ipad games. Bliss. My 6 year old has been more "present" but he's a total mommas' boy and will probably never leave his mommy's side. ( I can hope, can't I? :) ) Your top is spectacular. Your gathering sit perfectly at the neckline. I promised my daughter I'd sew her a skirt today.

I suppose clothes have become so cheap that every time I made something and was a bit disappointed in it I thought I would have been better going shopping! But the lure of having something as interesting and individual as your top is making me think I should have another go!Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-27344470323779045602015-04-18T08:41:32.054+01:002015-04-18T08:41:32.054+01:00What wonderful sewing, I love the material you hav...What wonderful sewing, I love the material you have chosen it really suits you.
