Birthday and tiger top

Oct 15, 2011 in Sewing

Today is my birthday! I’m 28 now. I’ve gotten this book and a Mason Pearson hairbrush from Henrik.

I also wore this sequined tiger top I made recently. I love repetitive fiddly work so sewing on sequins was just my thing. Perhaps I should embroider more! Anyway, it goes perfectly with my favourite jewellery set from Cecilie Melli, and with a long slinky skirt it would be the perfect 40s style midriff evening ensemble. The fabric is the remains of a cut up 80s skirt I got from a friend a long time ago, and I used the same pattern as for this dress.
