A Dress for Tea
Here is my new dress! It is perfect for drinking tea. Too bad I missed the virtual tea party.
I am currently very into ginger-peach flavored tea and am enjoying it today in my favorite cup, bought in Paris from a shop on the Left Bank that only sold goods produced by a monastery outside the city. It is so smooth and lovely to hold. Just right! A close second is the teacup from this pattern, purchased at one of my kitschy visits to that strange place. The cutest little squirrel! I love him!
The dress is great and fits very well. I have, since the beginning of this little sewing escapade about a year ago (only a year!? feels like forever) been searching for The Pattern. You know, the one you can make over and over again in your sleep in a million different fabrics with variations? Well, I can't say yet if this is The Pattern, but I am certainly planning on making it with a short skirt, poofy sleeves, in one print, and many other variations. I almost cut this one up to the knees, but the fabric is just so pretty that I couldn't bring myself to, even if it is better for my figure. Next time I will plan to make it short. I went to Joann's today searching for some double pointed needles (which they did not have) and almost bought some MORE fabric. Crazy, huh? Well, I had a 40% off coupon, so it seems like free money! I resisted, thank goodness. Phew. It was a close call, though.
Often cross-over necks are very gap-y on me, but this one is good so far. Provided that I do not slouch overmuch. Then, the peepshow may commence. It will be a good tool for improving my posture. I just need to find a book to put on top of my head...

That dress is very becoming!
I also wanted to thank you for posting a link to The Scarring Party on Inside a Black Apple. I don't normally read other people's comments but I'm glad I did this time. I went to their site, listened, and bought their album - I love it!

Thank you for the support! The pattern is New Look 6674. I can't wait to make another one! I wonder what fabric would be best...
Also, gotta love that Scarring Party! So creepy and delightful.

I dont like ginger flavored tea

This tea is actually more peachy than gingery, though I loooooove nearly all things ginger. When we get sushi, I always get extra pickled ginger to munch on. I feel like it is somehow vaguely "healthy" to do that, though I'm sure it's really not. That being said, some of the Ginger People stuff is too strong for me.
