New Outfit for Spring

 


One of my favorite Patterns   Butterick B5045

This is the Jacket I make so many of... usually some kind of flowy material, like chiffon or lace.  It makes me feel very feminine.  

I also like the fact that it is loose and hides a multitude of curves... 😁







I am going to make the pants to the ankles, but nice and loose and flowy out of a royal blue... found in the 2.97  TREASURE HUNT ROOM.  The jacket is one I couldn't resist, a printed chiffon with blues throughout and came off of the Poly special table, which is only 7.66 a yard.  But of course, we have our spring sale right now.


That will be Pants, tank, Jacket = 20.00 for full set if you sew it yourself.

Of course,  matching scarves and earrings for my total set.


The elastic waist big leg pants will be quick and easy and I think I will make the tank top shown here out of the same royal blue.  




The jacket will be the print.   See if I can wear it tomorrow.


Here is a picture of the full outfit.  I made the jacket a little longer than usual.


This is a scarf, jacket, tank and pants.
With our 25% off sale and a 10% coupon, the jacket made out of 7.66 Poly Special fabric ended up being 12.92 plus tax.  There was enough for a matching scarf, face mask and earrings and scrunchie left from the scraps of the jacket.



Because of the lightweight shiny material the pants hang much like pilazzo pants.  I did make the pants ankle length.  This outfit all came from the above noted pattern with my alterations that I like to make for me.

The jacket is very free flowing and this can all be made from linen, if you want, as it doesnot need stretch.  It is a loose pattern.


I have made the capri length baggy pants with linen and embroidered anchors down the side seam to look beachy when I was going Sailboating.

There are no interfacings and the outfit is really all straight stitches.  Very quick and easy is truly what I love about many of my outfits.

Light Cotton Jacket, Matching Design No Pattern

Image
  This was a lovely gift of two yards of fabric from my friend who went to Bali. I am proud of how I figured it out and also I had the perfect button hooks to match the fabric, wasting away in my button sewing box. It was a 2 yard piece of fabric with dark blue background and gold metallic design. When it was finished I took the scraps and made a mask and earrings.  Used every inch of this fabric. I needed something lightweight and cotton, so I picked up the piece and examined the print.  It had some lovely design that was in columns I could use for borders, but I could see it would take work to cut it out. The selvage was a nice print of gold, that I didn't want to lose.  I laid out the whole piece of fabric and figured how I could cut the front pieces and the back piece on a fold and utilize the border strips. When there wasn't quite enough of the strips I would block end them with the scraps. In my sewalongwithkitty.com blog this post explains taking a simple piec...

Loving the Cowl Collar even on a full drape woven

Image
One of my favorite Palazzo pants with pockets and accessories below.  I love the cowl collar, but I can do this one on the non stretchy, silky printed chiffon.  I will probably make some suit jackets and this will look very classy. The details are 3 small buttons on each sleeve non cuff and at the back of the cowl collar.   I made the neckline big enough to put over my head and the sleeve cuff big enough to just slide my arm through.  I love the button detail, but I like quick on and off. Got to make it custom couture with accessorizing. Scarves, earrings, mask, scrunchie, and whatever else I think of to impress the GStreetFabric Customers. These fabrics came from GStreetFabrics.com-where I work. If you come to the store, I am usually behind the cash register, with matching mask to keep from those pesky germs... mom will be 101 so I am no spring chicken. Always trying to INSPIRE you.
