Day 42: Wrap-Around Silk Top
Welcome to Day 42! As a Douglas Adams fan, this is my favorite number (as well as my former Roller Derby #!).
Don’t Panic.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide’s guide advises you not to panic, and I’m not going to. I know just the thing to do for this frumpy robe! 🙂
Big Ol’ Robe!
THHG also says:
“The chances of finding out what’s really going on in the universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied.“
I decided to occupy myself by making this robe into a pretty top! First, I chopped off the bottom right where the pockets began.
Leftovers!
Next, I pinned the raw edge under, like so:
Pinned!
Then, I sewed it under.
Unlike Marvin, my machine is very happy, thank you! 🙂
I pressed my new hem, and now I have a lovely silk top!
Silky!
Soooo comfy!
I wore my new top for a night of Trivi-Yeah! at The Whig, where my team did surprisingly well. 🙂
Clever Teammates!
High Five for Second Place! 🙂
Team “Poking the Stiff Kitten” won the free beer round (oh yeah!) and came in 2nd place overall! I feel victory is imminent next week. 🙂
Cheers!

Nice work! Plus kimono tops are bang on trend for autumn!!

Thank ya!
Very nice final result. I just love the fabric!
Lovely! (And I also love HGTG!)
It’s definitely one of my favorite books of all time. I first read it when I was at the height of my teen-angsty phase, and it was one of the few things that made me laugh out loud! 🙂
