Did I mentioned back in October, that i rummaged through my mother's fabric closet while visiting and found a beautiful circus red and white striped cotton fabric?
To my surprise, she sent it to me a few weeks back. It's quite an old fabric since she's had it for over a decade. She says she wanted to make me a top with matching sailor buttoned shorts for when i was a teenager. Yeah it's been that long.
I really wanted to think this through because only a yard was available of this. I finally gathered the courage to use a 50's blouse pattern and I think it turned out quite beautiful. Don't you?
I'll get to wear the whole outfit when it gets warm enough in New York...here's to hoping!
Enjoy the photos and please visit my Flickr page for more photos. You'll find the link to the right of the screen.
