I didn't buy very much of it. I had an idea in my head to make a very simple over-sized t-shirt to wear with my high-waisted skirt.
Nin suggested I do french seams and gave me tips for using bias binding to face the neck and armholes. I love having a friend who is a 'qualified designer'. Whenever I have questions about fabric or how I should sew something together. I did so french seams (my first time ever) and used the system Nin suggested but with knicker elastic instead of bias binding.
I used a pattern I found at an op-shop the other day. It's amazing how a little styling can make a difference don't you think??
I quite like the 'Corporate Barbie' look now and again.

I Love that fabric and the shirt looks lovely, well done you x
You looked so cute today. In my head I'd be Siren Barbie - a limited edition one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Tissue-Wrapped-The-Siren-Gold-Label-Barbie-Doll-NRFB-UNOPENED-BOX-NIB-/130719947421?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6f841a9d#ht_1521wt_1139
Love the outfit Miriram - especially the shoes. You're so talented and I love the vision you were able to translate into something special. I'd probably be... bossy barbie :)
that looks fab teamed with the skirt....and I still love those shoes!!! I would say I'm a Cindy - Farmer, gumboots a must around here.... though I would aspire to be a Glamour Barbie one day!
The fabric is so lovely I love the 'lightness of touch' that seems to be common in Japanese design
oh oozing sexy!! you so have the hair for it!
Ha ha bossy barbie!! Thanks for your compliments too!
Yeah the country doesn't lend itself so well to stilettos huh!! :o)
So so impressed by your sewing. This looks as gorgeous up close as it does from a distance!
I was, am and will always be Barbie on Horseback! Top looks fab. Lovely fabric and recognise those tights. Looking forward to shopping in your wardrobe when we get home.
You did suuuch a great job!
The gathering looks FAB. Well done you! I love corporate barbie!

Hey Miriam that top looks great and I imagine the fabric is so lovely to wear.
I'm with Hoontz....not a Barbie but a Cindy.......country gal, wearing gumboots, but definitely
a stylish pair, hehe....

Hi Claire the fabric is so soft and fine which makes it a treat to wear. I too believe in stylish gumboots!
The top is nice. The whole outfit looks great. I love your colour combinations.
