So this happened. I drew something and then I made it. This was the result of a mistake, several weeks ago. I meant to make a reversible skirt with scalloped edges. It was supremely fucked. So I cut it apart. I have the reverse side, which is red with white polka dots. I’m probably going to make a twin for this, but with white piping and a black bodice-y thing. And proving that I just don’t learn, this also has dye-run issues, because I didn’t wash it before I wore it. Also, the general pattern is a Sorbetto without the pleat and the darts. The insert is my own devising, traced onto wrapping paper using the curves of a ukelele, because I didn’t own French curves at the time. So I’m calling this my Ukelele top. (I have since found French curves for $9 from a stationery place near a university, though it doesn’t have measuring units on it.)
