Once again, here is a project that I've altered to fit my moleskine designs. Originally I wanted a crop top to go with my Summer Fruits skirt that I made last summer from the same fabric, which means altering another pattern. Mercifully, this change was very simple, and I only needed to measure and cut some of the length off - so this project was quick, fun and easy. Out of everything, the hardest thing to do was the machine buttonholes - my arch nemesis!
The ric-rack trim in red really sets off the Reds and pinks in the berry
print fabric, which I purchased on a lovely trip to London with my Mum
for only three pounds a metre! I'm a big fan of how it looks paired with
the skirt, though the good thing is that it can be matched with simple
jeans or plain shorts too - perfect for a Floridian beach!
That is officially beautiful! So sweet, fun and feminine. I adore the use of strawberries in fashion. I have some brooches, some earrings, a pair of shoes, and a purse that feature such at present and am always looking to add more of these cheerful berries to my closet, too.

Thank you so much, Jessica! I agree, strawberries are lovely motifs in fashion - so cute and summery! Your collection sounds beautiful.
DeleteHave a great month,

That's a cute print. Have you considered using an automatic buttonhole foot if you want an easier time with machine buttonholes?
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) I do have a buttonhole foot, but my main problem with buttonholes are getting the correct settings on my machine to do it. My machine isn't great, and my knowledge of how to get it working better is poorer!

ReplyDeleteLovely. So sweet and romantic and nostalgic, great work, darling Ellie! I like the rick-rack trim you put there, it definitely adds loads of cuteness factor!
ReplyDeleteBtw, lots of love to Valentine's Day. Sorry I'm late with that, I forgot totally! It's not a native Czech thing, so I did a biiig head-smack when I realized what I have forgotten about after reading your message *blush*
Thank you, Rosa! The buttons and buttonholes could be better, but for now I'm quite pleased with it. :)
DeleteDon't worry, haha. :D Happy late Valentine's day! *hugs*
