The Golden Girls tunic!

Hello friends, how are you? I told you about a crazy-cat-lady type top in my last post, well here it is!



Even though it's still fairly hot I was able to wear it today, it's the same design as the emerald top and the fabric is a silky poly something, it's textured and there are those beautiful bright bouquets scattered on it :) I know it looks like something Dorothy Zbornak would wear but I'm quite fond of my top! And the worst part is that I was actually drunk on wine cooler -I'm classy like that- when I sewed it. The memory is bitter sweet since the reason I drank that evening was that one of my beloved cats had just passed away so I really needed a recreation :( Therefore I chose a trusted pattern and cut a favourite fabric that I had been hoarding since 2008. Alright, I hope that wasn't TMI^^, have a nice weekend and see you!

  2. Just on the hanger it doesn't look very flattering, but you were able to style it well - it doubt Dorothy would style it as well, she would leave it shapeless.

  4. Ha! My original thought when I saw the picture was: love that print. Maybe I'm a Blanche Devereaux... But whatever, those Girls were fabulous!

  10. Thanks for visiting my blog today and for your lovely comment, it's always great to find a new sewing blog. I can't believe the amount of sewing you manage to pack in, I love what you do. I'm collecting vintage sewing patterns at the moment so that will be the next thing - love the vintage dresses you've made!
