Finished some stuff this week!

The top was originally not open -front and I hated the way it bunched there (probably from me cutting it wrong), so I decided to try cut it in half and add ties. Works a lot better now, although I'm not sure I like the style on me. 😅

The trousers are the secret pyjamas I've been waiting for all my life, I only wish I'd taken the plunge to make them sooner. (I'm always scared of effing up fabric). They're my first go at pattern matching and I don't think I did too bad!

I also made a beige top to go under better tops, which I'm also wearing in these images. (Although you can't see it)

There's pattern makers saying a pattern is "so easy to sew, you can cut it out and wear it on the same day!" And then there's me, taking three hours just to cut the damn thing.

It was a pleasant three hours though, I was listening to Emma by Jane Austen while at it. And to be fair the sewing was pretty quick on the mockup...

Now I only hope I won't regret using this particular fabric for it, as I've proven myself to be very skilled at fucking shit up despite everything. I love the fabric and gingham is so damn hard to find in Finland!
