This garment sat in pieces on my worktable for half a year or so before I got around to putting it together – but it's now happily constructed and ready to wear for spring.

I used some drapey, geometric-print cotton (origin forgotten) and the Scout Tee pattern which has become a firm favourite.

It's rather a terrible photo above but I wanted to include a picture of me wearing it with my new matching earrings, because I love them quite a lot. They were made by Davina Ewing from grey and cream clay and were a birthday gift from my friend K.

And while I'm talking about favourite things, I wanted to mention the beautiful new album by Auckland musician Anna Coddington: Luck/Time. Here is a link to Apples, which I think is very sweet and addictive.

    Ive just ordered a couple of patterns from “100 Acts of Sewing” I’m hoping they will also be easy to follow and perfect to wear.
