I couldn't resist. There were so many beautiful colors!
Bought 70 cm of this for a skirt.
Hm, the colors are more creamy, not gray...
Like this:
But the first pic is better. ;-)

My first refashion ever - sweater refashion
Look what I found in my closet! I love this sweater so much I still keep it.
I remember using a Burda pattern to transform a polo sweater I got from someone. It was so many years ago I don't even remember when. This is in fact a refashion from the last century, hehe!
Don't you just love the collar?
The shoulders and back are modeled by darts. Nowadays the patterns for knits tend not to have darts, but the fit is so much butter when they are present, isn't it?
All the edges were finished with crochet.
The roses were knitted and then sewed on.
Aaah, what a delightful rediscovery!

Half a cake
Half a mandarin Pavlova
I only had one crust (bought) and wanted two layers. :-)
Did you know that the there is a debate about whether New Zealand or Australia invented this cake? I didn't!
The name was chosen in honour of the Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, who toured both New Zealand and Australia in 1926.

Month of tops - No 9
Pattern: La mia Boutique 4/2003, model 45
Super quick and easy pattern.The front and back are the same. It takes four seams and four hems to finish it.
I like how it creases around the body and the fall of the neck.
I used this pattern before with a very stretchy fabric, but now for this knit, since the pattern pieces looked very narrow to me, I added 2 cm to the body and 1 to the sleeves. I think the hips need a few more, heh. :-)
Very very nice pattern! Maybe it would be accented even more with a patterned fabric?

Outfit of the day
Am I unable to take a proper picture of myself in the mirror or what?
I need a tripod. And proper lighting.
Maybe then I'll be able to show you my orange flowery tights...
Month of tops - No 8 - Sweaters refashion - WR
From this:
To this:
The top looks better when on a real body because of the sleeves. They look renaiscanceish so I'd better find someone to take a picture of me wearing it, right? ;-))
Have a nice and creative day!

Crocheted hat - WR
I used wool remnants. The pattern is based on a Japanese chapeau pattern. Like it?
I think I'm also going to make one brown and orange.
