I wrote earlier about my day and some of the things I did. One was sewing a top.@DesirousDreamer suggested I post a picture of the top I made so here it is. It is a tunic made from cotton knit fabric and hand dyed. Do you do any sewing?

I think sewing as a hobby isn't as popular as it used to be but I still enjoy it very much

@Freelanzer The most important is that you enjoy it very much. But I think that there are still people that mean sewing as a hobby, but also there are such that have it for their job. It is craft that is job for somebody anywhere.

That is a really nice top. There are a lot of quilters here and I guess they are sewers too. I can't even hem hankies straight.

Thanks. Quilting isn't one of my better skills.

@Freelanzer It does seem that you need to be very exact when you are quilting.

That is nice. How do you get the bottom fringed dark color? I don't sew. My mother was great but I just can't do it.

The bottom portion wasn't tied so it got all the black dye

Perhaps you're still trying to upload the picture... I'll come back to see it... I don't do any sewing but I enjoy looking at others creativity.

Oh my goodness! That is amazing looking!!! And I love the tie dye! So beautiful! I know how to sew a little bit, not well, probably because I haven't had enough practice.

I was sewing since I was a little girl so practice does help
