The modest reveal


I knew my sense of humour had returned to me when I laughed at the thought I had been insulted AND scammed. Since then a few other things have been resolved and my stress levels are back to the point where sewing becomes feasible again. I finished my pants last night and just have to give them a good press and then they'll be ready for the big reveal.

Although after seeing Rocket Boy on Pattern review this week I'm quickly revising my definition of the "big reveal". I think, Antionette, you'll agree with me that we'll have to change the name of the finale of our pant sew-along to "the modest reveal."

Now it's on to the silk chiffon top. I've cut and pinned it, so now I just have to sew it. Just have to sew it. Just have to sew silk chiffon.

  6. Silk chiffon is beautiful though and totally worth the effort ... right? It looks like it from here in any case. Also as far as bargins go I am have a bit of a stash lightening via Trademe in the next little while, if you are interested, there some wools and a bit of linen and a georgous broccade that cost me an arm and a leg and, if I remember rightly, even some silk ... I'm not sure if I will be thrilled with $3 for any of it ... but such is the joy of an auction!
