Corey and I are having a short break from life. Now the kids are getting older and our commitments getting heavier we thought a bit of us time was necessary. Plus I had a Big 0 birthday late last year and was given a massage at the spa on the island. So here I am having a break as we plan our next 3 years at the Beach Club Hamilton Island.
And while here I am proud to say I have worn a Me-Made item each day. These are my Bermuda shorts, made from a self drafted block and sewn 12 hours before catching a plane (I did cut them out in Feb but never got any further!). They are sewn in a cotton that I purchased from spotlight over 12 months ago. It is a beautiful soft cotton and is gorgeous to sew with. I love the fit around my bum and crotch, but I think the leg might be a bit wide. But I don't care as they are so comfortable and easy to wear.
They have a narrow waist band and zip. I hate the zip. It fits ok but it isn't finished as neat as I would like on the inside. I think I will get a commercial pattern and follow their instructions next time. But this doesn't affect the fit or wear, so I'm not fussed for now.
And finally I am wearing my liberty top! Still not happy with the neck but it looks ok. I will make a calico and perhaps add darts. Bummer really as I love the fabric. And Mr M would be horrified if I gave up on it after spending $49 per meter.
