I often get stuck in a rut with my self-made clothing.
While making a garment, I have plenty of time to think about
how I am going to style the finished product.
That first outfit gets etched in my subconscious, and every time I go to
pull it out of the closet, I envision it exactly as it was previously worn.
Which is terribly boring!
So for a fun exercise, I thought I would pair two previously worn separates (Simplicity 4047 & Simplicity 1997) to create a brand new outfit.
Because what good are all those blouses I made last year if
they do not get to take a turn about the room!

Gorgeous! Apart from your dressmaking skills I also have location envy, it's always so sunny in your photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely, as always. You have such a grace and class around you! The outfit is perfect, looking like the pieces were made for one another specifically. I love reading about you and your sewing!
ReplyDeleteHow immensely lovely! I really like the length and waistband on this sweet, beautiful skirt.
