6 rectangles (two sleeves, two neckline border pieces, a front panel, and solid black back panel). Two hours. Made and worn in one weekend. Went to a great lunch with some fabulous sewing goddesses on Saturday, and had a chance to wear my new friend...
Yes, my "London Eye" panel became a shirt. If you've been following the blog for a while, you may remember how/when I found her. She absolutely looks better worn on a body than on the dress form, but you know how I hate to pose. She needs a breeze, a context, an environment to show her true personality. I am very happy with her.
Beautiful--love the way the black serves as a frame for that wonderful image.
