tania howells: see you on the flip flop

see you on the flip flop

One last crafty peep out of me for a while! Apologies for the gloomy photo. This is the shirt I made the very weekend I received the package and pattern from Tania. Yes, there is that sheet fabric again! What can I say? It was a queen sheet. I made this as more of a test to see if I could figure it out from the pattern shapes alone. Then on the following Monday, Tania sent me the instructions! That was a relief, I can next make a proper one with a zipper at the side. I wondered why I could barely get this one over my head. ( No I did not plan to have those two flowers so strategically placed. How saucy! )
And now, all my crafty things are packaged away, my sewing machine is sitting forlornly on the floor by the door, my knitting and books are sealed up in boxes. I have a feeling I will never be able to locate certain things again, but that's ok! We're moving! Tuesday we have a big van booked and a few strong like ox friends to help. If we don't get it all done, it doesnt matter because we have some time after that for the dribs and drabs of junk. Last to move is my trusty computer and the plants I suppose.... Oh well, I won't bore you with the details, just with the pictures of things that are pretty once we get there! See you soon!

Moving to a new home is so exciting. Don't forget to pack your survival box… the one with a few rolls of TP, sheets for your bed, food & dishes for the cats, a box of tea, 2 cups, the kettle, towels, soap, and whatever is essential until you find all the things that were packed in boxes that you thought were soooo well labelled. The first rule for us is set the bed up first and make it, bathroom supplies next. Trust me; you will not regret it at 1 AM when you are too tired to remember your own name. This box is the last thing to leave your old home, travels with you, and placed some where safe in your new home. It is a lifesaver. Good luck, have fun and Yay!

I found a great vintage yellow cotton with embroidered polka dots on it last spring at a garage sale... I was thrilled with the shirt I whipped up (very similar in style to yours), until I realized the very random strategic placement of two of the polka dots! I haven't worn it since... it was much too awkward for me!

Good luck with the shift. The "strategic" flowers are very funny.
