Oh hey, long time no see. I made some more
Hudson pants and a
Kimono top (a good friend named my pants, she was pretty horrified).

| been having some photographer problems, |
For the hudsons I used some crazy multicoloured painted stripy neoprene from Spotlight for the main fabric and some bright blue neoprene from Darn Cheap Fabrics for the contrast fabric. Spotlight have been getting a lot of really lovely neoprene prints that I have been tempted by but at $24.99 I have to avoid. These are the fourth Hudsons I have made, and unless I cave and buy some more crazy neoprene that's all I am going to make this year.

I used some mystery black poly for the Kimono top. It was leftover from some Christmas gift sewing, several years back I made a top for the mother of my then BF. I actually made this one just to take pictures with these pants !blogger trap I fell in you! but I have no regrets. I have made so many of these tops that I have lost count but this one has quickly become a favourite. I lowered and narrowed the neckline by an inch because I am not a huge fan of exposed bra straps all of the time, a big fault of the unaltered pattern in my size. Used bias binding instead of the facings and cuffs, the centre back seam was a fabric saving endeavor. I feel casual and put together in this top. I may have worn if several days in a row the week I finished it. More neutrals in my sewing to do list I think.
