Pink Florentine
I finished the flemish overskirt for the ufo challenge. Whoop whoop! It needed hemming, closures and a repleating of the skirt. And now it needs its picture taken ;o)
Onwards and upwards! I have started up a new multipurpose shift for the Underwear challenge, and was planning on starting the Kampfrau for the Peasant challenge. But then I realised that the event I'm going to at the end of Feb is indoors and both the kampfrau and flemish may be too hot.
So I thought I might pick up an old de-stashing idea and make a Pink Florentine. I have tons of pink curtains from my mother in law, and because the bottom of the curtain is hemmed the skirt will be really quick, and the velvet ribbons could pass for the Embellish challenge.
Now I just can't decide whether to go with my original plan to make it smooth front with side lacing (will need a new pattern re-worked from flemish) or to use the front-closing pattern I made for the upcoming Kampfrau (would be good to try out it out with free fabric, but I don't think it's as pretty).

Smooth front?

Or front-closing?
