some stuff for me!
I have had a little time here and there to work on some new clothes, which is lovely. I'm trying to take pictures as I go along, but sometimes I just get too caught up in the making of it to stop & get the camera. So in love with the handkerchief linen and the chambray we just got in! The linen washes up so beautifully - I have pulled off enough of the peacock blue to make a pair of summer bloomers and a Party Dress for myself. We'll see how long it takes! Here's a Kwik Sew pattern that I just finished up - I made a medium but next time I think I'll do a small on top and a med. on the bottom - it felt to big and kept slipping off my shoulders. Like I tell students - don't get to invested the first time you make it!
I also made a gored skirt (the fitted skirt class pattern, view c) out of my absolute favorite, the linen/cotton japanese "tiger on flower" fabric:
Today I finished a pair of summer pajama pants - black silk/cotton but just below the knee! To wear under all the Tunic Tops I have yet to make...
Work-wise, I'm starting to block out the Button Down Shirt class - I picked out an emerald/black chambray for the women's shirt and a black pimatex for the men's, which I might use gray thread with for a bit of detail. Soon I'll be able to work on the Decades of Style Button Dress class! Don't know what fabric yet but I sure as shootin' have already picked out my buttons.
I am very much looking forward to a small break next week - Josh and I are going to take a few days off to camp at Joshua Tree National Park. We could both use a little down time. Hooray!
