mustard slub

a new knit top i made from slub cotton.  (isn't slub a funny word)?  i used my old stand-by pattern, shortening the sleeves and adding a wider hem.  i love the soft texture of this fabric, though it was a little tough to sew.  so stretchy!


i'm heading to michigan tomorrow to help my mom sew ballet costumes for blue lake fine arts camp.  we're going to knock out about 25 fairy costumes in just a couple days!  after that david and i are going to our favorite lake michigan beach, ludington.  (my first post here included photos from last year's trip).   the shop will be closed until july 25, but i'll have lots to show you when i return.  holiday!

  1. i thought the title said "mustard slug", which was significantly more odd than the actual subject. =D i love this shirt! i just completed my first skirt from scratch ever--my hub gifted me with a sewing maching last week. maybe one day, let's say, oh, 25 yrs. from now, i'll be as good as you.
