Well it was Batty Tatter!!!
I was rumbling and mumbling around Debenhams a week or more back (and with a voucher for £11.00 in my handbag) when I spotted this t-shirt. As soon as I saw it I knew I'd got the right thread for it. Seriously. That's exactly what happened. So I tried it on.
It fitted fine but I felt it was a bit low/wide on the neckline so as I knew I'd got some thread of the right size and shade, I bought it. It actually cost me only £5.00.
Of course it took a couple of days to make the edging but I'm really pleased with it. I'm wondering how it'll wash with the tatting 'above' the neckline but I have plans for it if it does 'bend a bit'.
WARNING - there's a photo of the old git ahead so put on your dark glasses!!!!
with my dark glasses on - you certainly look very pretty in that! Thread colour and blouse matches perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI don't have the glasses, sorry. You look good in that shirt and the tatting matches perfectly. Good call on the thread.
ReplyDeleteI've got quite a good eye for colour but this time I excelled myself!!!
DeleteLovely! I'm guessing you'll have to smooth the tatting into shape after washing, but that should be simple enough. Very effective way to fill the neckline in a bit.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'll have to but I have other plans if it does sag too much!!!!
DeleteHello TOG!! (my new name for you from now on!!! VBG) BC3 did a good job on that neckline, shame about the neck..... Rofl!!
ReplyDeleteThat'll be me off your 'friend list'!! LOL
Were you ever on it, Pigmini???????
DeletePerfect!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherry.
DeleteIt looks fab! A wonderful match of colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks, linb54. A once in a lifetime match!!!!
DeleteClever to spot the thread in the shirt like that! It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter discovered your fandango two days ago and has been waxing rhapsodic ever since, thank you for your designs.
Thank you, Michelle. Tell your daughter that I'm working on a big square fandango mat at the moment in my 'spare' time!!! I keep going back to it myself and am sure I can do another pattern from it sometime!!!!
DeleteNicely done and what a perfect match.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phyllis.
DeleteAn "old git" perhaps, but certainly a clever old git!! LOL. That is beautiful, Jane. Perfect match!
ReplyDeleteA match made by BC3, Texas Tatter!!! I wasn't 'there' at the time!!!!!
DeleteBeautiful lady, blouse and edging...awesome.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane,a long time between comments! You're right, the thread IS perfect, but I worry that it might tickle you, facing up above the neckline.I have a glitzy V - neck top which is too low for my liking, it's one of the things I will do, one of these days- tat a triangular insert for it.
ReplyDeleteI have worn it, Maureen and it was fine, thanks. My concern is that it may 'flop' but I think I can deal with that! It's waiting to go in the washing machine at the moment!! Will let you know.
