LeRoy 747 - Initial Toile/Muslin

The other day I alluded on my blog, to this project on my sewing table. The "fabric" is actually a duvet cover I hacked up for the fabric...

I wanted to make a toile/muslin of this pattern. Part of my quest for some vintage style tops to add to my recently purged wardrobe. I like re-purposing old bed linens in this way. They're a fantastic source of cheap and plentiful fabric. Who wants to spend a fortune on fabric for a toile? (Plus blue gingam is eternally cute)...

This is phase one...

If you want to read my rantings about my numerous fit issues ( and why wouldn't you, lol?!) feel free to pop over to my blog and say hi :)
