Finished my first item of clothing....ever!


I only have selfies (a term my 15 year old cousin used which means pics taken in a mirror of ones self!  The kids of today just have words for everything hahaha)  I will post more detailed info about it soon but I'm just too excited to show y'all!

 

This pic is supposed to show the cute little glittery buttons I used, can you see em or just straight up my nose?

And wearing it with a blazer, coz it sure is cold down here!

I'm off to town today to buy Mothers Day gifts and I will be wearing my new top, I will get pics to show for sure.

Just as a side note (completely unrelated) If you noticed my nails and thought they looked super shiny and pink, let me just tell you that I had them done three weeks ago!!! Its a product called Shellac and IT IS AWESOME!  It is painted on your own nail like nail polish and set in UV lamps.  Once its done (in like 15 -20 mins) It's hard as, so you can get straight in to washing dishes and doing laundry!  It doesn't feel heavy or snap off like gels or acrylics.  I will so be getting it done again, love it!

Have a super dooper great day

    This looks soo great!!! I am so impressed with you and tackling this challenge! Sewing clothes for myself is what scares me most... The usually end up in a corner of the wardrobe never to be looked at again.... Well done!! (I think I might leave the hex nuts be for today and get my sewing machine out....)

    wow!!! loving that fabric & the top.... looks awesome, of course you can wear it in public, good work ;)
    btw, shellac is fantastique! i love using it on my toes for summertime, it last shiny until 2 months, actually you gotta take it out just because of growing nails!!!!!!
