it's way impractical, but I am ALL OVER the idea of a semi-sheer redingote with a gigantic bow closure at the neck.

I had a second go at Simplicity 3887, using this thrifted vintage knit fabric. The weight of the knit really got rid of the "tent" effect that my first version had. I also took the sleeves in even more b/c they were too enormous. I made the shorts out of some thrifted jeans that were too long and tapered. They've become part of my daily wardrobe.
Fabric was just some remnant found in an Opportunity (thrift) shop. Buttons were recycled from an old dress, and new bias-binding and interfacing was used. Whole thing probably cost under $4.00 AU. Bargain!!!
Zippers are my kryptonite. Grrr. This was my first time sewing in sleeves--the first one had to be ripped out and resewn and gave me a migraine. The second one went much better, though.

The time is flying by before us. We are so much involved in our earn for living that we forgot the smell of soil which is been beaten under our very feet. Now and then, there are times when you realize that all this work, all this effort and all this stress just vanish into the complete sense of bliss.
Last weekend was the time when the urge to free myself took me to adventure into some new places which were always around me but never been noticed seriously. I was amazed for what I experienced and sighted.
Margalla hills, a small subrange of lower Himalayan Mountain range is an amazing place. Apart from the mostly travelled Pir Suhawa & Monal, there are other dimensions to this very serene and calm mountains. This time, there was a touch of adventure as I took the road which was only suitable for the 4x4 Jeeps... The car was beaten and some extra spinning of wheels and burning clutch plates, took me to a brand new point of View...
Above the village of Rimli, behind the Quaid-E-Azam University in Islamabad, there is a pathway going up in the heights to nowhere. Few wander into that isolated place. The condition of road is not good for the saloon cars but wonderful for the Jeeps. A high point up there gives a panoramic view of Shadra Valley on one side and Rimly village beneath along with the vista of twin-city opening up to tens of kilometers before you.
It is sometime fun to burn the rubber to get to the place one envision while wandering in the valleys. That's the simplicity of adventure... No planning, deciding over every turn.
