FO Friday: Dolman Top Duex

Happy Friday! 

I made it through another week of the school holidays, that in itself is worth celebrating right?

This week I've mainly been working on my second Hitchhiker, but I did manage to make my youngest daughter her Dolman top over the weekend. She loved it so much that she insisted on wearing it to two parties.

I found this one much easier than the first 2 I made. Maybe the alcohol helped. I always seem to sew better when I'm drinking

And one top for the small. All is now right with the world #sewing #knitfabric #dolman

She likes her top #sewing #dolman

and both tops together
Side by side

So what have you been working on this week?

FO Friday: Hitchhiker and Dolman top

Happy Friday everyone! and for those with children, I hope you're enjoying the summer holidays.

I have 2 finished objects to show you this week, I know it's been a while, but I'm going to try and complete at least one sewn item a week from now on, since I've now got a place to sew. It;s not much, but it's a massive improvement on the kitchen side I was using.

Testing out the new sewing area

Ok onto the finished items. First up is the Hitchhiker scarf I've been working of for weeks/months. I've really enjoyed making this scarf. All those lovely little rainbows that formed on my needles were such a pleasure to look at. I will definitely be buying some more yarn from A Stash Addict

Having a day of knitting and 'nip tuck'. I think I deserve these little rainbows today. #rainbow #knitting #hitchhiker #yarn

and the big ta da!!!!

and on the sewing front I made a Dolman top (pattern by Kitschy Coo)

Rheya has a mild case of the grumps this morning, so her looking away was preferable to the frown she was wearing. She likes her top, just not posing outside for pictures #sewing #actionshot

She was much happier inside

I just have one more Dolman top to make (for my smallest) and then I'll be going back to woven fabrics only (unless someone wants to generously donate an overlocker to me)
