Wide awake

Hi There,

My humblest apologies for my absence here. I wasn't sitting in the sun eating grapes, honestly! Just busy tying about one thousand little knots together. But now I am no longer doing that, so my life should soon start to resemble that haven of tranquility that is my regular life again. Humour me, ok? I like to hang on to that image because it makes me feel just slightly calmer.

I can't even remember where I was, it is that long ago, tssssh. Better first get my bearings before I start rambling. Let me leave you with an image of serenity for you to meditate on.



Enjoy the snooze!

Tunic

Hello and goooood morning!

Do you remember this tunic and how it was soo big? This fact sat in the back of my brain, and when I needed (ha-ha-haw!) another tunic I tried one for myself in a size 158/164, and it did fit!


The material is a very sheer greyish green fabric. The only adornments are a few mother of pearl buttons, velvet ribbon around the arms and a bit of last minute in-front-of-the-telly beading. Of the latter, may I recommend that you do not try this yourself, as I already saw a couple of loose sequins after only 2 washes.

The pattern, as mentioned, is the Sammy pattern by Farbenmix. 

The fact that this tunic pattern is usable for adults has made me think I might use other patterns too. What about a nice pair of trackie bottoms à la Maren? The pattern goes up to a size 176, so maybe interesting for even more people?

Have a fun day today!
XOXO
