I have two new pieces to show you today! Two awesome knits
= two easy-to-wear pieces that have lots of visual interest.
Both of these patterns I've sewn before and both I made modifications to. I made and blogged about the shirt here. This time, I made the cowl less cowly by moving the front "cut on fold" line about an inch off the fold of the fabric, effectively narrowing the front piece by two inches. I tapered out to a bit wider waist line, but this chevron knit is super stretchy, so I wasn't too worried.
The skirt was attached to a dress the first time I made it. This time, I used the skirt pieces from the pattern and, instead of attaching them to the top part of the dress, I added a yoga waistband.
And now for a gratuitous number of pictures...
I love those two pieces together!!
ReplyDeleteI'm overcome with jealousy of your fabric! Please say you got it only for cheap??? Please?
ReplyDeleteOoooh, the typos! I meant to ask if you'd bought it "online", not "only!"
DeleteAwesome! A very stunning outfit. I could never pull this off, but you definitely can!
ReplyDeleteAnother squee-fest from Sara. Love this ensemble. Sick shoes. It's all amazing.

ReplyDeleteI saw somewhere that you own the pattern Simplicity 2591. Is it possible that you would like to sell it - or copy it to me. I have been searching everywhere.
