Looking for some fabric for a summer dress, I haven't found yet, I discovered a colorful piece of fabric I bought years ago to make a top. I have forgotten it for too long and instead of the dress I intend to cut I decided to make a kind of poncho top easy to do.
As the size of the fabric coupon is the same but not my waistline I have made two big bows to close the sides that give me the few centimeters missing!
Mon deuxième ouvrages fini du mois, en situation... mon sautoir tressé objet de mon précédent article.
Perfect place to show you mon second Fully Finish this month, my necklace I have described in the last post.

COLLIERS / BEADING
I'm back to play with beads and threads!
For a long long time I missed making necklaces and with all that you can see on the net it's painful to think that I have boxes full of beads, threads and don't use them. Shame on me!
I must say that since I'm retired I'm more relax on my look... outfits, hair, make up and jewels.
But I love all sorts of beads and I have bought some nice one some years ago in a shop in Dieppe and some bags of beads and sequins visiting Lunéville. it's on my todo list for too many years and it's time for action.
First I love long necklaces like "sautoir" or "opéra", I don't know why but I am not longer at ease with something close to my neck!
My first project is to make a small rope "cordelière" with DMC metallic pink 5852 associated with coton perlé n° 5 beige 738.
I have selected some tiny flowers, charms, buttons to sew on the rope
I don't need a clasp so I'm attaching the two ends and making a blanket stitch with the metallic thread (not the best one I have made but metallic isn't my favourite thread).
