I promised to make Jennifer Ann Smith a top for her birthday and, after 5 hours of sewing, I finished her Candy Floss Carnival Top last night.
It reminds me of candy floss and is made from pink and gold checked silk (which I managed to talk down to half price). It ties at the waist, with a wrap over part at the bottom and has a zip up back. It also has twisted straps. I can’t wait to see Jenny in it. She says she’s going to be wearing it to a talk in Japan she has to give.
It was more relaxing sewing for someone else… I’m not sure why! This is the first top I’ve ever sewn but I made a pattern, so it will be really easy to recreate. It looks perfect with my pink Vivienne Westwood brooch. Now to send it to Japan…
On the subject of Jenny, we finally used our koala bear cookie bath bomb.
I love the cookies and the bath bomb was equally as awesome and it had a little bear charm inside!
