Day 360: 12/26/13
I was incredibly tired yesterday. Which is to be expected after cleaning our house top to bottom on Christmas to host our family Christmas party that evening. Yesterday I wore my self made navy dolman sleeve top. I have not worn this yet this year, nor did I ever blog about it last year. I wish you could see the fabric better in this picture. The weave has semi-sheer horizontal stripes in it. 
The inspiration for this top came from one that I saw Selma Blair wear in an episode of Anger Management. I searched high and low for a similar fabric and a workable pattern. I found the fabric from Fabric Mart last year. The pattern is a 1980’s pattern that I was gifted from a friend’s mother. I would say originally that mine turned out pretty darn close other than color. Then I washed it and it shrunk, because I didn’t pre-treat my fabric, so it was no longer as loose fitting as hers is.

This is what I wore today. Tonight I am sorta cleaning the sewing room after the Christmas tornado struck it. I did manage to come up with a plan for the 2014 SWAP. I will post about it once I choose fabrics for my pieces. But for now my collection is being planned around what I can wear on my next girls trip to New Orleans in June. It should be a blast and I will have a new wardrobe too!
