I have been meaning to update the blog for two weeks, and was intending to add photos of my latest top made from a Butterick pattern. But it didn't really turn out particularly photo worthy. So I didn't. I kept thinking the top would grow on me and I would suddenly love it and want to photograph it for your viewing pleasure... but so far... I just don't.
Progress on any garment related activity has been painfully slow and somewhat frustrating. The aforementioned top was way too big on the neckline, requiring two inches added all the way around the neck. I added a self fabric band to the neckline but it didn't improve the look of the top, though it did improve the fit. Or it would have done if I'd made the band short enough. So I now have a PJ top with very fancy sleeves and a pile of tissue pieces waiting to be altered. I did start the alterations, but messed up due to tiredness and haven't got around to trying again.
Normally I like tissue alterations, and would plug away until I had the thing licked, but I've not had the time so its still sat in the dining room taunting me. I am hoping to get it sorted out at the weekend so hopefully there will be a newer and better version of the top to show off soon.

Aw. Well at least you get fancy PJs out of it!
Are you going to the show on Thursday? I hope so. And that you have a mahvellous time and buy fab things and shortly thereafter regain the time and energy needed to use them!?
I can hope!
Frustrating! But at least you have a PJ top.
Pity about the top, but as you say you have a very fancy PJ top.
