Yes!
They are finally finished....
those 3 silk blouses that I agonized over...
and squirmed each time I looked at the folded
fine silk laying on my sewing desk.
I worried,
stewed,
bargained (in my head)
and looked very hard for someone who would take on the task
of transforming the luscious threads into something
wearable.
then I gave up, or in.....
and sought out patterns to make for myself.
YIPES!
Curtains, yes...
pillows, yes....
handbags, yes....
clothing, Oh *#&# no!
But
I started slow,
and prayed each and every time
that I put the presser foot down.
and finally,
I have finished.
And
I just might start wearing them next week....
This first one was a bear!
I tackled it last,
and I am very glad too,
the "cross-over" neckline had me flummoxed....
I had to take out the two front seams, twice...
this one was a breeze, it is simply
2 squares (front) and one rectangle (back).
but this is my favorite!
I love paisley...
and this fabric is especially yummy,
thick, heavy as cream, silk
that worked very easily.
Not the simplest thing I have ever done,
but probably the most satisfying.
And because the fabric was so expensive,
I didn't throw one scrap away,
I simple started sewing them all together and made a
couple of scarfs...crazy quilt style....
smiles.
These are my Christmas gift to me...
