I shall wear midnight (if it fits me)

I had grand plans for a black top, versatile I thought. Good for Me Made June. Good for work. This week's theme is embellishment so I was thinking of a big flower.

This is what I made:


I can't tell you how hideous I look in it. It is so unsuitable, the jersey is too heavy, it's horribly depressing and doesn't fit me. I am abandoning it (at speed, running away!).

I quite like the flower though:

  2. I agree with Debi. Is there any chance you can salvage it? And is the title a reference to the newest Terry Pratchett book by any chance? ;)

  4. Sometimes things just don't work out right! It does look nice on the hanger but if you don't feel good in it then it's best to move on. I love the flower though!
