Exploring the world looking for nice fibers, sometimes I use them but mostly I stash them

Zizzi copycat
Zizzi is a danish clothingcompany for plus size women and I spend way too much money in my local Zizzi store....
One of the things that I´ve stocked up on is their tanktops that are kind of lingerish...
I wear them under a blouse or tunik for modesty and/or for letting the lower laceborder peep out under the hem as a little detail. It´s a very simple pattern so I just layed the top out on tissue paper and made myself a pattern from it. I have plenty of lace from bramaking but for my first copy I had a hard time finding straps and something to decorate the top front with, finely I settled for satin ribbon, the tangerine to the right is the original and the left my homemade
I used rayon jersey and have some more for more copies I even found a large butterfly to use as decoration and fold over elastic that matched a brown fabric in my stash

McCall 6359
I bought a lot of patterns last spring and I think this one came into my home then
I´ve been wearing a lot of sleeveless lately and I can see myself wearing all of the models several times.
I had to scoop out at the armcycles at front and then I think about it I have a RTW top that I bought recently that might need that too. The patterened fabric is from Paris and the matchinh linen a remnant from Hvidbergs in Copenhaguen
The back looks like this, cross over straps on the bra might be good here
Last weekend I spent with Åsa who you might know from PR. She arranges sewingcamp each year there you sew from 9 in the morning to 10 in the evening, split the cost and responsibilities for the meals.
This is the only thing I started and finished this year, I might have been a little disorganized packing, but I have a really nice dress that I bought lining for the other day and that I will finish after washing it
