Remember the space bolero?
Now it has a matching skirt.
The waistband is bomber-jacket elastic, simply zig-zagged to the top of the skirt. The hem is bound, partly because I wanted it to match the bolero and partly because I couldn’t find any other form of navy trimming which was actually nice.
I like elasticated waistbands, because my waist size varies by up to four inches depending on my health (long story), and this way I know that I’ll be able to wear it whenever I like.
I think it might be time to investigate a new camera though. This one is extraordinarily fussy about what kind of batteries it will eat, and it seems to have completely forgotten how to focus. It’s a Canon Powershot A95 which I inherited from Paul. I love the flip-out viewfinder, and the zoom and macro functions are excellent, but I really don’t need the dozens of different settings, and the shutter delay (on a digital camera? why?) makes it really frustrating to use. I’m quite tempted to replace it with something smaller, which I can stick in my handbag and carry around with me all the time. If anybody has any recommendations, I’d be very interested to hear them.
