The weed

We call Moo the weed because she just keeps growing like crazy. I was once told it was all the good life forces in the organic & biodynamic food that we eat (although trust me, we have our share of unhealthy food too). Last week in the extreme heat Mollie chose to wore her Lore top.

I just noticed that I took this photo just over a year ago. And now her top is getting too small.

Being the nice mum that I am I offered to make her a new top. She wanted another velour on the front, so she rummaged through the velour stash and chose this sweet white fairy. I picked the fabrics, Chez Ami knits front and back and Hilco woven for the binding.

I wanted to take a photo of her wearing the top, but it's just been way too hot to venture outside. Thankfully today we had a cool change. 20 degree Celsius, BLISS!

Cute top and good choice from Moo.

The weather is just crazy: in the morning you can't go out because you get baked and in the evening you need a jacket.

Thanks Clo, Uta & Peta!

Clo, I don't follow American football at all. I think it's daft. It's too slow for my liking. I actually like Australian Rules Footy. :)

Go Aussie rules! however I have no idea about how that game works grew up a rugby girl at heart. Then soccer as an adult.

I love the fabric combos. It looks lovely. (And I don't envy you that heatwave)

Very cute. I've been thinking about getting this pattern because of the racer-type back - my oldest has narrow shoulders and I think this would fit her better. She's known as the weed around here.
