My Creative Space - Tulle Top



Oops... I just realised it's My Creative Space day. I really don't want to go into all the disparate chaotic threads I'm currently tangling (it's just too messy around here people!). So, maybe a bit of sewing will suffice? I made this top a couple of months ago. Since then I've made another for a friend that was finished off with far greater skill... isn't it funny how you go that extra mile when making for someone else? And I've just received a request from another friend just this week for me to make her one too, so I'm hoping it's good enough to show here ;) The top bodice is black tulle with hand-sewn lace bits and the lovely loose lower part is a fabulous brush strokes pattern jersey I found at a closing down sale. Happy Creative Space Day everyone! What have you got cooking? :)

Kylie, I always catch your posts just before I go to bed (very late I must confess). I admire your creativity and enthusiasm everyday. Your posts are always so inspiring!

Oh, my, I admire your tulle/lace abilities. It scares me to think of sewing something like that, probably because I've never tried it. ;)

You can sew so well! Too bad you live so far away or yu could teach me! :) I'd love to learn! Looking great, Kylie! :)

Nikki said...

Wow... your top is amazing. You can see how soft it is in the photo. And it must feel great to have people ask you to make one for them.
