Welcome to another edition of What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday. All I have to say today is, workdesk? Seriously? No, I don’t have workdesks. I have places where things are piled up. Not a workdesk in sight. Every horizontal space is covered…
So, I finished this top in time to wear on Sunday. The fabric is an eyelet from Joann’s. I love the texture and interest the mottled dye gives. The first version of the top had the two rows of ruffles like in…
Finished up this one yesterday and plan to wear it tomorrow. 🙂 I usually go for solid fabrics, but this was kind of a fun, funky print for a change. Here’s my pattern review: Pattern Description: Dress has fitted bias front bodice…
