Simplicity 2981 again!
Proper post to follow – but I thought I’d show you The Dress – sewn yesterday!
Not bad, hey? The cotton was jsut a DREAM to work with – I will finish the Dress from Polyester Hell, but not just yet.
Do you like my hat?
I love hats!
My hat - made last night!
I was inspired to try the zipper roses by Outsapop Trashion – a Finnish girl who makes gorgeous stuff from zippers. I bought the shell (?base? the sinamay straw shape thingummy) at Spotlight; covered it with a double layer of black silk organza, and then used separating jacket zippers to make the roses. A few ribbon leaves and fripperies, some black veiling – ta da!!
Karen, Caity, and Sue at the lunch
And now I think I’ll just go have a little nap – the wine was lovely but now I’m REALLY TIRED!

Super cute! And I LOVE the hat! I don’t look good in hats, so I am always envious of people who can wear them… Now I have someone to be even more envious of – someone who can MAKE them AND who can wear them!
