No clever title but "thanks".

I have been sewing and I finished a top yesterday from a pattern that my friend sent from the U.S.  - Butterick 5203 (bottom right with long sleeves). I used a fabric from my mother's stash and I wore it today for a friend's birthday celebration had at the park. Did I get a photo? No, of course not. So no photo today. I really like this pattern. It was easy and even though it is for woven, I made it out of some 1970's wool mix ponte type fabric.  Maybe in a few days.  It's a good pattern. I didn't think I'd like the points; I hated handkerchief hem skirts in the '70's or '80's or whenever they were popular. I have some woven fabrics I'd like to try for summer.  I also have some red wool out for that cape below too, but that's not till I finish the Ottobre jacket. Remember these tops below.

Thanks and Melbourne

Can't remember where I got this... sorry. I just wanted to so thanks for all the lovely comments on my dress.  I do really love it and I think it is quite flattering and  so easy to whip up. The little poster above is so there is something other than a few words. I also want to put out there, that I'll be in Melbourne of the weekend of 20//21 December and wondered if anyone wants to meet up. I know it's a bad time being weekend before Christmas - fabric shopping is probably last thing on people's minds, and I don't need anything either, but maybe a coffee or lunch or dinner would be a possibility.  I'm seeing Nick Cave on 18 December with a friend from Adelaide and I'm staying a couple of extra days.  There is an exhibition  The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier  on at the NGV and I'll definitely go to see it so if anyone wants to see it and hasn't yet and wants to meet up I'd love it. Just put a note in the comment and I'll get back...
