Oh my, I am so excited. I just finished sewing my very first piece of garment which I am actually planning to wear.
I started yesterday in the morning, copied the pattern, cut out the pieces, slowly going from one step to the next and took the time to do everything slowly to avoid making mistakes I usually tend to do as I am sometimes so impatient.

The pattern is from Jenny and I got the Liberty fabric last week here in Sydney. It so soft and beautiful to sew. I am so happy with it and can't wait to wear it out the first time.

So, now I am thinking, what's next! :)

Singapore

Hello everyone,

Did you have a good week?
I have been to Singapore for work this week and oh my it was hot and humid. On some days we had 93% humidity by 32°C. I was really wondering how people who live there handle this weather - I guess they are just used to it. I had some time and could walk around the city and take some pictures, but sometimes it was even to hot to get the camera out...
How crazy is the Marina Bay Sands building. It really looks like a boat on three skyscrapers.

I am back in Sydney now and look forward to a long weekend (thank's to the Queens birthday on Monday)

Thanks for all your lovely comments on my last post, I can't wait to start sewing the top.
