A Rather Productive weekend!

I had an emergency dash to Spotlight yesterday for Pellon (fusible interfacing) and lookee what I found on the clearance table!
No, not a child, this gorgeous fabric! I snapped up a metre, and did a simple shirred top. She requested strapless (?) but I convinced her to have a halter neck!



And it's been worn all day, despite the chillier weather.


We dropped the fluffy dog off for his summer trim (a few mths too late), having a coffee in the cafe next door. My fellow heart spotter noticed this. And that was THE strongest coffee I've ever had, stronger than a double shot!


So when we got home with a baldy dog, I whipped up this quick coat,
from this book.


 It goes well with the 'M' bling given to him by the doggy groomer! Because he was so good!


Stylin'!
