Finally! We're off on holiday to Barcelona for 5 nights. Can't wait - feels like I haven't been away for ages. And it's a great excuse to make some new holiday outfits:
I plan to make the skirt from the Weldons 7493 and the short sleeved top from the McCall's 4159.If I have time, I may even make the trousers as well.
I went to my favourite shop,
Dalston Mill Fabrics on Ridley Rd, and chose 2 fabrics. The red one (for the top), is a rayon print reminiscent of a bandanna, and the blue one (for the trousers and skirt), is a cotton drill in a vivid blue:
So far, I've finished the top:
And here are some details:
 |
| Cute little Peter Pan collar |
|
 |
| Little pocket (serves no purpose other than drawing attention to your bust!), and tab detail from sleeve |
|
 |
| Drawstring waist (sorry about the poor picture quality) |
|
I've just finished the skirt, but I'll wait until we get to sunny Barcelona to take photos of the full outfit. Expect some serious 'overdressed tourist' photos - I have no time for this dress down stuff.
See you when I get back!
That is such a pretty top - I love that Peter Pan collar. Aren't you going to make the bikini top too? Have a great time in Barcelona!
