Just In The Nick of Time

I'll just apologize now for the crappy nature of these photos. I used the laptop to take pics of myself and it's after 1 in the morning...so this is what I get :)

I worked on this tonight while watching the Top Chef finale and just finished it up...the deadline is midnight PST. I was really inspired by the fabulous Shari of Soren Lorensen Design for my last entry in the Lil Blue Boo & Dharma Trading Co Design Challenge. I have a whole new appreciation for Shari for the patchwork dresses and shirts that she creates. Sewing all of those patches together and getting all the seams to line up is a lot of work!

I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I will definitely be keeping this for myself to wear this summer.

  8. That's super cool! Patchwork scares me, I'm afraid I don't have the patience for it. But I love the way that turned out!
