Work in progress

Well, it's been a long few weeks. I'm finally feeling back to normal but I think Chloe is getting ill again. Poor thing, she's been so delicate today.


I have so many ideas of things I'd like to add to my shop. There is just never enough time. I know that's a common refrain - it's just how it is.
The red blouse above is a work in progress and if you look closely you can see where I goofed the binding. I think it's pretty cute though and I'm feeling inspired to perfect it. I just love red on Chloe. Today I got her some black leggings and she has some funky little black boots. They'd be perfect with this. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to it - it's been a work in progress for quite some time!

is this an Ottobre pattern? I made some that look exactly the same not so long ago. I love your fabric choices.

It's inspired by an Ottobre pattern but I took quite a lot of the width out as I wanted less flounce. I still want less too so if I do any more I'll be altering further.

I love it Suse. Binding is my all time least favourite thing to do - well done despite the little "boo boo"! Also, I know what you mean about too many ideas and too little time......

Yeah, I hate binding too. I was hoping that with practice I may come to like it - I have my doubts!

Beautiful top!! I love it! My least favorite thing to do is binding as well, especially on a sleeveless shirt, I am Still perfecting that!!
