Dear friends, I
must tell you how I came to love handmade clothing so much… Some time ago my lovely mother proposed that we
ladies attempt making our own peasant tops.
I confess I wasn’t quite so keen and complained bitterly as I stumbled
along and made one mistake after the next…
But God in His
mercy allowed me to have another chance to succeed…
As I have grown
in my sewing {and perseverance} skills, so I have wondered if sewing a peasant
top now would be any easier…?
Thus, on one wet
and rainy day, I purchased a lovely piece of fabric to begin again… I even motivated myself by buying a new pair
of matching earrings – nothing like a little bit of incentive, you know…:)
I was pleasantly
surprised to find that the entire process from cutting out to the final fitting
took me less than a day, and I was left with a very pretty peasant top with short
sleeves in my very favourite colour – pink!
I was so
impressed with my efforts {!} that I decided to undertake another project… This time I chose to work with a more drapey type
of fabric and make the top with loose, three quarter sleeves and a frill.
As I was a
little pressed for time towards the end of the process, my Mom helped me to
finish off the last few bits and pieces…
Oh, I am so delighted with this lovely top! Of course I am very inspired to try a few more patterns, perhaps a dress or skirt at some stage…? What do you think?
I love how I am
able to dress both femininely and modestly and have the pleasure of making
something to fit me…
I may not be a
wonderful seamstress when it comes to making clothing, but I have great hopes of
becoming one in the near future…there are so many exciting patterns to
try!
Do you make any of your own clothing? What is your favourite style?
