If you are thinking of sewing this pattern, it comes up a bit on the large size, I ended up cutting a size smaller than I'd normally use.

Cat-proofing the Knitting and a Bit of Sewing
I thought you might like to see my new wool bowl. Gorgeous or what? It came from this shop on Folksy.
The idea is to stop a certain feline from chasing my wool all around the floor. Yes, Loki, I'm talking about you. Look at him, looking as if butter wouldn't melt...
And the bit of sewing? Something for me for a change. The pattern is Simplicity 1463, and the fabric came from EvilBay. The lace panel goes across the back as well as the sleeves
A picture of me. Something you don't see too often on this blog. Probably didn't really want to see this one either!

ReplyDeleteYou look lovely, the top is super.
You look very youthful!
ReplyDeleteLovely top. I do show a picture of me on my blog, the one where I am the same age as my blog. So if you're still around in 40something years time you'll find out what I look like now LOL

ReplyDeleteI love those yarn bowls. Such a good idea and there are so many pretty ones out there.. great way for potters to use their talents.
ReplyDeleteReally cute top. I haven't sewn any clothes in many years and it seems like old times to me what I hear that someone still uses Simplicity patterns. Keep up the good work!
You look lovely..the top

That bowl looks like a super idea! Loki is so cute! Love your top and such a nice pic of you.
ReplyDeleteFantastic job on your top - very pretty. Love your wool holder too.
ReplyDeleteHope the bowl does the trick. I have to say though, Loki looks very innocent in that picture. :) Your top looks lovely, as do you! I would love to be able to sew.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty shirt/top. I love the fabric. xx
