This was how it looked like last night, after hours of toiling from 4pm to midnight. I hadn't sewn up the hem yet, hence the fraying. I was just too eager to try it on! I bought the fabric on Thursday before meeting up with Erica and Ner. Once I'm infected with the sewing bug, it's hard for me to shake it off.
And here it is finished up after hand-stitching in front of re-runs on Channel 8...
Back view.
Close up of neckline...
Close up of hem and pockets.
The pockets really are just decorative. Yes, I can put my hand in them, but I doubt they'd hold anything more substantial than some shillings.
I don't usually wear prints, and neither do I wear blue except for the indigo on my jeans, but I decided to experiment this time. Fortunately I don't look too bad in navy blue, and neither do I look too bad wearing an umbrella print. It's kimono print fabric or something.
Yay! Finally, another item I've sewn that I am quite sure I'll wear.
