Hi! I finally plucked up my courage and did my first sewing project for 2010! And my first blogging activity as well - figuring things out as I go along! (Has this thing got an "undo" button?!)
I am a novice sewer and am daunted by all that I do not know (yet!) and need to know to make something wearable and unique. I therefor started with a very basic NewLook pattern (http://images.patternreview.com/sewing/patterns/newlook/6648/6648.jpg) and found it not too bad. I have to confess that I did have to use a seam ripper as I attached the ruched waistband the wrong way - well, that's what you get for sewing late at night and doing it in a hurry! Anyway, herewith some pictures of the completed top:

I am now a bit restless and trying to figure out what to sew next. There is a big fabric stash waiting to be transformed and I do have a lot of patterns (I like to be prepared, not for me those chapters in sewing manuals advising on all the necessary tools one should have! )
Anyway, I will keep you posted!

Oh, if you figure out whether there is an undo-button! Am searching for it for more than a year now!
Nice top! And I am curious ... what does Gousblom mean? Is it some type of flower ... or am I really off here?
Thanks! You are spot on!! - it is the name of a daisy type of flower. (And not the flat footed bird otherwise known as a 'goose').
And my maiden name was "Gous", so I was often called "Gousblom". It follows then, that after a gazillion attempts to get a blog name that is not already taken, I ended up with Gousblom :-)
Oh, is it a really tiny white flower that grows wild often on grass fields? If it is what I think it is then we call it "Gänseblümchen" in German - which would mean "goose flower" if you would translate it ...
I like that name for a blog!
