PR Travel Wardrobe

It's been a while but I've been sewing this wardrobe for the PR Travel Wardrobe contest. Most of the fabric came from my stash with the exception of the white lace. But more about that later.

It's not often that I make a wadder and I never share them if I do but here is my first one for the new year! It's the Christine Jonson Keyhole top and while I kept it as part of the wardrobe, I will not be wearing it. I'll be unpicking it and re-making. You see, the top is reversible which I thought was a good idea. But the fabrics I chose weren't really suitable as it's really heavy and hot to wear. Bummer. Nor was I happy with the keyhole (& no, I won't be showing you a closeup!). I also look like ten ton tess wearing it.


It's a stripe on one side and a plain red on the other. Can I just say "Boobs"??

My other pieces were another version of the New Look T shirt 6735, colour blocked with all my fabrics; a white lace cardi which has a whole story of its own and a red print gorgeous gorgeous mesh overshirt that can be tied.

I adore the mesh top and that WILL be worn. The lace cardi I'm meh about but it will probably work on the cruise. I do love the colour blocked top although something is going on with the sleeve. Anyway, here's the contest collage:



Now I promised Kristy some GOMI worthy shots so here they are:


Don't know what I'd do without that tree in our yard!


I love yous all!


I discovered there were ants on the tree....and on me!


I'm wiping the sweat from my brow cos it was SOOOO hot.

Oh that one is my photographer who always manages a selfie!
