As promised here are some snaps of me in the Sencha.
I apologise in advance, I hate having my picture taken, and Mr P has had to pop out thus I had to take the snaps stood on the sofa with a camera pointing at the mirror.
Well anyway - here are the pictures. The top looks sort of lopsided as I am lopsided taking the snaps !

| Untucked -glad of the extra length ! |
 |
| Please ignore the face - photo face is never good ! |
 |
| Tucked in. Oh ! The versatility !! |
I must say - wearing the Sencha for the 'photo shoot' has shown me that it is a very comfy top. So although I am not sure if it is at all flattering at this point - I am certain I will wear it (probably with a cardigan) and it has a place in my affections. It will not be culled with the jumble sale pile of clothes !
A very happy bunny !! Just debating if I should start on the Jasmine now or watch telly.
Happy Sunday people

It's lovely Kirsty, I love the boat fabric and the contrast tie. Great job, hope you wear it loads. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane ! :-)) I'm going to wear it tomorrow in fact, and feel quite excited about the prospect. Dont you just love being able to make your own clothes ! Still very impressed with your jacket - will be some time before I attempt such a project. XX
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely! I just adore the contrast tie bow! I think it's very flattering and it seems like it would go with so many things! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debi :-) x I am really pleased with it and how well it turned out. I am loving the nautical theme and am hopeful for a (future) coordinating wardrobe with clothes in red, navy, white and black. Sewing certainly helps you get a feel for what is working in a wardrobe and what is not. Man I LOVE sewing !! xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic, well done! I love it out and tucked in too :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone above. Completely lovely-I would wear the you-know-what out of this!! And, it is very flattering on you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies ! :-) I must admit I prefer it tucked in - with the added length its just perfect for tucking. I wore the shirt today and it made me feel great and was super comfy. It looks cute with a cardigan and I totally know I will wear it loads. Totally stoked with it. Dont you just LOVE sewing !! xx
ReplyDeleteWell done, Kirsty! It looks great.

Thanks David !! :-) Very pleased with this top and love wearing it ALOT.
ReplyDeleteEspecially pleased with your comment as I am not yet a patch on Debi and her frankly amazing seamstress skills !!
Kirsty this is lovely. What a sweet neckline and a perfect fit. I'm sure you will get loads of lovely compliments when you wear this :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) Yes she fits pretty good, am really pleased with the fit. I don't think that shows in these pictures so well due to my odd angle. I love the neckline on the shirt - it was way too high on the original pattern for me - I would have felt like I was being strangled ! I did wonder if I cut it a little too low, but actually I think it works really well. Plus it makes mine that little more different to others that I have seen xx
