This red piqué skirt is one of my favorite summer circle skirts, so it only seemed fitting to make another coordinating blouse to match.
And, of course, using up leftover yardage to make said blouse earns bonus points, in my opinion.
I have made this top a couple of times already, so there were no real surprises with Butterick 4985.
The other versions are made of cotton, so this one wears slightly different with the drapey rayon. And I can't really decide which I prefer.
I suppose they both have their place.
And I do have plenty of both fabric options stashed away to make myself more should I feel the need to add another to my closet.
And while I have never had my colors "done" or whatever they call that these days, it would seem that shades of turquoise are most definitely in my preferred season.
I can say that I am not an Autumn with certainty, but I'm not going to let that stop me if I want to wear orange or brown. That being said, I get compliments from strangers on the street when I wear shades of turquoise, and it happens frequently enough to have become a trend. I guess I should count myself lucky that turquoise and I are part of a mutual admiration society, since the color seems to like me back.
Which has me wondering if I have any more turquoise rayon in my stash . . .
I believe you are a Summer, my Dear❣️
