Light Peasantries

I am happy to say that my embroidery adventures (starting here and here) have blossomed onto a peasant top!!!

While Nan was here in February, we did some closet cleaning and I came across this white peasant blouse. The fabric feels wonderful, but I just didn't have much use for a plain white shirt like this. So, we pulled it out, used my light box and some embroidery transfers from the 70s, and I got stitching! I had the best time working on it. I'm a huge fan of embroidered garments, and it's exciting to think that I can make my own! I already have plans for something else.... I can't wait to share.

The only thing more beautiful than this shirt is the girl wearing it! You make me want to get back to work on my own projects. LOVE TO ALL
