technology makes it easy...

a phone call...

please mummy...black...short cropped, but not too cropped...long sleeve....round neck...
no closures....interesting lining....( we have just looked at a sensational leather one!!)

happy to oblige, but i cant picture what is in your mind...
sketched... scanned...emailed....

what did we do before such technology...

i drafted, and stitched, now it needs a visit to the dry-cleaners for a good press, then off to boarding school it goes...

the fabric is 50%wool 50%poly mix, and i wish i had bought better quality...

with the closest fabric store 80 kms away and that not being very good, it means i usually have to compromise my choice...
(note to self to try shopping online for fabric...)

the lining is 100% cotton voile.... it sits beautifully...
hope it fits....

this might get re-made in better fabric...just not leather...

Gorgeous!! Is it a blessing or a curse that your kids think you can (and you can) make ANYTHING they dream up?

So how did it go over?? I am impressed, lol! I can barely make clothes that pass approval when she is right THERE, much less sight unseen! :p
