My back hurts. No, that's not really an accomplishment.
But this is:
How could I not fall madly in love with this fleur de lis cardi? Obviously, I did but I soon noticed there were button issues. I think (more than anything else) age and use contributed to this gem ending up at Goodwill. Note the tiny buttons I removed. The buttonholes were too stretched for those little ones so I ordered some new magnificent fleur de lis buttons and voilà! Perfection!
I also made a top today with my favorite fabric, knit.
Apparently, when I try to take one handed photos anymore, it's too blurry. :/ But at least you can see the sleeve detail.

What do you think? I didn't realize the fabric was so sheer! But I like it otherwise.
Cute top! I like it....
