Let’s get it out in the open. Second to my fabric obsession, I love music. This week I have made a few new purchases from Amazon – God bless downloads! I have christened my latest two projects with Muse song titles, partly because they fit so well, and partly because all the 71 Musesongs iTunes says I have, have been on shuffle continuously for the last 2 days!
So without further ado, I present “Supermassive Black Hole”… Ok, there was no way that Liberty silk was going to disappear into my fabric cupboard. Who knows when it would have seen the light of day again? I got the fabric washed and ironed by Monday evening, then waded through my Burdas to choose a pattern. It wasn’t hard really, top no 138 from August 2011 was the one. I’ve used the pattern before, and it was perfect for the silk.
Next, “Absolution”. I beg absolution for my fabric buying sins! I do hope that by not letting either of these peices languish in the fabric cupboard, that I have managed to obtain just a little bit. The pattern for the trousers was another well used and loved Burda pattern, no 118 from April 2009. If you see the pic in the magazine, you will see what the wow factor is. The wide bootcut legs, topped off – or is that ended off, with a deep turn-up. Devine!
These projects with details and more pictures can be found in my Burdastyle studio. So, I’m a happy bunny! Just need to finish the hand stitching on the blue silk devore and that’s another project finished! YAY!!
