Last Minute Sewing

Some last minute sewing, (yes, my mum again), before leaving Finland. To be continued.  

Self Made Box Top

Excited about the fact, that I was able to sew us new curtains (story in Finnish), I decided to be creative and try to sew a top for myself. (Just to remind you already at this point of reading, that I am not a taylor, last time I sewed, that was in senior high, quite a long time ago.)

I used my old white lace top for an inspiration, partly because it is the simplest top I’ve seen. Basically, it is a piece of fabric with a hole for head and sides joined together from the top of the fabric. 

For my great surprise, it turned out to be a very nice one (my humble opinion). It also feels very airy, because breeze can pass from top to down, from one sleeve to another – what a cool thing to were in Ghana’s tropical climate. And made by myself, that’s enough to make it feel so special. 

Dear Brown took the pictures. Thank you. Medaase odo.

GTP Top Made of Pieces

Decided to use my GTP leftovers for a casual top. It's a cool design even you can't see all the details because fabrics are so similar. 

Earrings I made by myself.

It feels so GOOD to be back in Ghana!!
