Lost
Here is my new Lost shirt. Complete with Desert Island Hair. Nifty, huh? I wear my hair up 90% of the time and when I take it down it is often scraggly and twisty. Somehow the ladies of Lost manage to have delicately tousled and yet touchably soft hair. Mine is just scraggly. Didn't blowdry today, either (too hot!). I only wash every other day, so I guess I'm living the desert island dream.
The shirt is yet another of the Summer Shirt. This time, I rescued a dress that was in serious need of rescuing and/or chopping up. I was trying to make this Vogue dress, that Assorted Notions did such a fantastic job with. Mine wouldn't sit right on my shoulders. The rest of the dress was ok, but I looked like I was wearing epaulets or had tiny wings. I made the longer sleeves for the final shirt and made the neck a bit more scoopy, too. I think that the sewing gods took pity on me for my snarky dress and gave me just enough fabric to make the shirt (and maybe a sash later with scraps) and also to position the design just where I wanted it. Praise be to the sewing gods! I'm cutting out another dress today. J was sick today and took the day off of work so we will have a loungy evening.
In other news, The Golden Compass is being made into a movie and it looks great. Daniel Craig as Lord Asriel? Rawr!
Here is my daemon!

Ooooo. Cool shirt! I love the Asian print fabric. I've lurked here for a while and I love your dresses. Your work is great and makes me want to get more sewing done!

LOVE the fabric. You always have the best prints. Do you shop for fabric in your area, or online, or...?
