| I really needed to curl my hair today |
Over the last month I have been sewing about 5-7 hours everyday. Yes, my life is a bit slow right now in winter time, so I am putting my hands to work. The idea is to stash bust
everything, that includes fabrics that are only so so and come up with as many combinations as possible for skirts and blouses. Katie from
Little red squirrel is hosting a wonderful project called Stash Busters and I am on board with that.
Tilly is also doing an interesting project that takes One week, One pattern and wearing it in as many different ways as possible. Well, to me these ideas got married, they are excellent projects together. Like
Jane, I am a fan of the ginger so I am pushing the boundaries a bit and have made up
seven ginger skirts. Yes, I love the pattern that much. For blouses, I am buying as many patterns as possible to try out different styles, I am still in the process of finding a few that I love. I can't wear a Chinese style blouse everyday! he-he. Anyhow, this blouse I made from Butterick 3696, its a simple button down thin collar. I am really happy with the outcome of both pieces, they are easy to wear and still look crisp and clean. I love peach, and to be honest, I wanted an outfit to go with my peach 50's purse. I love the little flowers behind the patent material. I'll see you soon with another ginger combo, made by me.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea the stash busting Gina. I always love what to come up with and everything looks just darling on you.

ReplyDeleteI love this color on you! And yay for stash busting! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely! And that vintage purse is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe colour is lovely on you and it does match the purse and the pearls! Congrats on stash busting, I really need to do some of that.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous outfit. I love the blouse so much, I looked up the pattern. It's the 80s looking one? That is the type of pattern many would overlook because of the cover art, and here you have made a lovely blouse with it. Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThanks A.J.A., yes, it's the 80's one. I had the same thought you did, I almost passed it up, but it's hard to find simple button downs in colors that you can use, honestly, it's hard to find button downs at all. knits have taken over the world of fashion.
DeleteVery pretty! Wow, *seven* Ginger skirts! I really love the blouse fabric... :)
ReplyDeleteI love the color scheme, it is like a pretty version of the Pantone color of the year. And the blouse is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color on you!
