Yesterday Vasa saw the "the Night of Arts". Me and P were on our way, but half an hour before we were supposed to leave home I came to the insight that I wanted to wear my byx-ärm, but I did not have anything to wear under it, and since it does not cover much of the torso I had to make something (or at least I thoght I had to make something, all this to my dear husbands dispair).
I had a vision of what I wanted, a simple tank with something green on it. So I cut up a plain black, big t-shirt, sewed a neon green elastic band to under the chest...
... see the nice neon green elastic:) Then I took a plastic lace thingy I got second handing in Mariehamn and spraypainted the front. Of course I was too hasty and did not think thorougly of what I was doing, so Iit got spoiled. But it is OK. The white parts on the front is paper from the news paper it lay on to dry:)
So, this is actually the pattern I wanted on the front, inversed. I pressed the template to the back of the top while it still was wet from me ruining the front.I stuck the shirt to the car window, so as we drove to town it would dry. I itched a bit from the paint as it was so fresh, but I got nice comments on my creations, so all's well that ends well!
