I promised to make @[500941493:Jennifer Ann Smith] a top for her birthday and, after 5 hours of sewing, I finished her @[159217370761489:Candy Floss Carnival Top] last night.

It reminds me of candy floss and is made from pink and gold checked silk (which I managed to talk down to half price). It ties at the waist, with a wrap over part at the bottom and has a zip up back. It also has twisted straps. I can’t wait to see Jenny in it. She says she’s going to be wearing it to a talk in Japan she has to give.

It was more relaxing sewing for someone else… I’m not sure why! This is the first top I’ve ever sewn but I made a pattern, so it will be really easy to recreate. It looks perfect with my pink @[24652532928:Vivienne Westwood] brooch. Now to send it to Japan…

On the subject of Jenny, we finally used our koala bear cookie bath bomb.

I love the cookies and the bath bomb was equally as awesome and it had a little bear charm inside!
