Shirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred!!!

This is this evenings effort. I could not be bothered trying to work it to a pattern, so I cut 2 squares of fabric, and just did individual circles (the fabric had faint even markings so I just followed them). Then I hemmed the top and bottom, sewed 2 straps (one I accidently attached backwards!! Oops!! But it does not show unless you REALLY look close) and it was done!!

I also finished the hems on the last top and pants, and I am in the process of finishing a basic white pair of pants that I started about a week ago, but needed elastic for...

I am thinking of shirring a headband to match the top, but I will see how tired I am when I finish these pants. Hannahs fringe is constantly in her face at the moment, but she does not have enough hair to tie back, so I might see if she will leave a headband in place.
