rae rae rae how do you like it how do you like it?!?!?!?

so this is where it all began!!!! this lovely lovely rose, i just love it :)

the colour is so spring summer, vintage like , it want's to be touched but you dare not it'll fall apart!!!

i seen on a blog i was following that Rae was having a top challenge and jumped at the chance.... i say jumped it took for ever to find the fabric...

but when i did i moved all the clutter in my sewing room to the side see last post!! and got to work on my pattern......

i knew straight away what had to be done!!!!! :)))))

so pattern drawn now the scary bit have faith in myself and cut the bloody fabric!!!!

pin it and sew....... that done i have to say i wore the top today with may a compliment was given and 2 lady's i know asked me to make them one too!!!!! :))))

the brooch is made from my stash of ribbon and lace as well as a broken and much loved chain..... the button is from my granny matties collection....

the keyhole idea came from the rose.... being round!!!! and i really wanted to do kimono style sleeves as that's what the rose made me think about .....

all in all i am very proud of my first ever top design i believe it turn out better than i thought it would ......

i have to thank my friend Sharon for putting up with me saying dose this look good does this look good let me see!!!!! she caught this pic best i reckon
