In my last post, I traced this skirt and tissue fitted it.
I picked up my Pfaff, and and went to work.
I used my left over red rouge denim from Fabric.com
And of course I had to add pockets, all skirts need pockets.
Then I needed a new spring shirt to go with my new spring skirt.
View A, ruffled front and and short pleated sleeves. I traced and tissue fitted the pattern first. I ended up going with a size 16, even though per my measurements, I should have went with 18, as the pattern said it had 4" of ease. I did a forward shoulder adjustment and an extra dart on side front to allow for better fitting.
I just love the sleeves, they are pleated on top instead of gathered.
I love my new spring outfit. Now what shoes......
Stay Happy
Keep Sewing
and if you can't sew,
Enjoy doing what you can do.
Lovely new outfit - love both pieces. And a new skirt and a new top just cries out for new shoes!
ReplyDeleteReally like the skirt and top combo. That is a nice sleeve!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I always have a hard time matching up
the right style of top with skirts but these two look perfect :)
LOVE the skirt!!
