Filling in the Gaps Project 2


Another gap in missing from my closet. This gap involved a favorite, worn to death skirt that lost it's pair only recently due to a nasty stain. This outfit is my "staying around the house special". It's for those days that I think I'll be staying home, but just in case I need to go out to the store, I'll be presentable. This simple, shirt is made from a shower curtain, yes nothing is safe in my home since I started sewing! I do like the small check mixed with the flower patterned skirt. Last weekend I wore the outfit while camping, it was perfect. I have a lot to show you coming up!

Have a wonderful vintage day!

    Love the print in the top. I've been eyeing up some mint green polka dot cotton in my local fabric shop recently :)

    Very cute! My husband banned me from his closet because I kept trying to appropriate his old shirts, etc. for sewing projects...hehe...I hadn't thought about the shower curtain. I have a particularly nice one...hmmm :)

    Will sure look forward to what is coming up. This is a real 'sweet' little outfit on you, so 60's. I'm working on filling gaps as I go. Making myself finish up projects before starting more.

    The skirt and blouse go together well.

    It's green gingham! Very lovely, and it goes really well with the skirt. :)

    Gorgeous top Gina, I especially like the green gingham. Did you see my gingham post here: http://handmadejane.blogspot.com/2011/05/1950s-hillbilly-blouse.html? I wanted to thank you for the tips on pattern sizing, they definitely worked for me! Jane x

    So fun! This outfit truly speaks spring and summer. I can't believe you look so adorable when you plan to stay around the house, really puts my oversized sweats to shame.
