A tiny bit of sewing

Just a little bit of sewings accomplished lately -  a silk charmeuse tankety-thing to wear under over-thingies.  Why did I not realize until I was trying this on that the design forms horizontal stripes?  Hmmm..I think it's neutral enough that my own horizontality will not be emphasized.  I didn't use a pattern, just measured off an Eileen Fisher tank that I like a lot and experimented from there.  You can't see it in the photo, but I cut the neckline a little too wide.  I added a little gathering in the front to pull it in a little. I'm pretty happy with it!


An orange tanky-thingie is in process. It's being made from a beautiful orange silk and cotton voile from Mill End in Portland.  It's mostly done, but I'm still fussing with fit, length and bindings. Final photos to follow!

Also, a couple Hattie pictures. She's lately become interested in carbonation and loves to ponder the chemical wonder of it all:

I love all the things you have sewn. I think the tanky-thingies are lovely.

Thanks Pam! Now if only the weather would be a little warmer so that I can wear them....
