You have seen my output with my quilting. One project after another. Sewing clothes has been a different matter. First of all, with a cold winter, there is less for me to sew. Then when I make something it’s just not that great. With spring around the corner, dresses and summer tops will be on the docket and I’ll be back to having fun.
I bought this fabric at The Fabric Store, I had enough fabric to make a dress, but it’s more winter colors. I don’t wear many dresses when it’s cold. I could have made my standard button down shirt, I went for this loose tunic pattern instead.
It has a pleat in the back. It is a very simple pattern, which means it was easy to make, but….. either the style is just too loose or it lacks some oomph.
Which I realize is A OK, not everything I make has to be a winner. It is pretty, it is comfortable, I’ve just used a fabric I’ve had for a few months.
Us creatives, we can be so hard on ourselves. Meanwhile, look at my Meyer lemon tree! After nine years it is producing a ton of fruit. I have already made one batch of marmalade this season, clearly, I need to make more.
I also just use the juice in my cooking, even if it is sweeter than a regular lemon.
Here you go, the vanity shot of the lemon!
I like this tunic top a lot! The pleat at the back gives it a very French look!
