    So I finally finished my Banksia top and I'm very satisfied with the final result.When started planning this project I had a very specific idea in my mind.I wanted a fabric with a kind of preppy print and a pointed collar that would break the sweetness of the print and creating a contrasting effect.I was searching for the right fabric,but nothing seemed to do.And then I spotted this scarf at Bershka that was big enough for the pattern.
    But I have to confess that wasn't the best idea!The fabric was a nightmare to work with,very slippery and once I sewed a stitch,there was never a turn back,because of the holes that were left on the fabric whenever I tried to unpick a seam.But in the end I'm really happy I managed to finish a wearable garment!For the collar I used faux leather and I changed the shape of the original(a peter pan collar) to a pointed one.

    So what do you guys think?

    Top: Bershka, Trousers: Self-made, Belt:Vintage, Shoes: Unknown


    This is the first pair of trousers I made using the DIY Couture book.I am so happy with how they turned out!I still can't believe I didn't use a pattern for them.They are actually based on a pair of jeans I own.They are high-waisted with an elastic waistband and two pleats in each side.The elastic waistband makes them really comfortable and easy to wear!The fabric i think is some kind of cotton blend and it's really soft and easy to work with.I also really love their color.
