I am cold. Toowoomba has been freezing cold and windy all day - which is part of the reason I stayed in bed for most of the day. I’m only up now because even though Mr Beloved has just read the starting grid for tomorrow night’s Formula 1 grand prix, I want to watch the qualifying.
But I have a completely irrational desire to make THIS:
Vogue 8421. I want the version on the right, with the impossibly huge sleeves. Do I own this pattern? No. Do I have fabric to make up into this pattern already in my stash? NO. I am crazy in love with it anyway?
YES!!
*sigh*
It’s Susannah’s fault - she’s wearing something like this in one pic in the new book, and I am smitten. Also with the vest thingummy she’s wearing over it -I could ROCK that whole look. Especially now I’ve worked out what shape I am (Vase. Yep, vase. Huh! Now if I could just work out what bloody COLOURS to wear, I’d be set!)
The fact that the blouse takes 3.6 metres (of 115cm wide) fabric and most of that is in the sleeves WILL NOT STOP ME.
Being too bloody cold to do anything but dream about it might!
