Sewing With A Plan, not swapping things with someone else this time :) I'm joining in with a mini-SWAP sew along on Sewing Mamas where we're filling in our summer wardrobe blanks to ideally end up with a versatile, mix and match collection of clothes. I have an absolute dearth of summer clothing that I actually like wearing so my wish list is a little long.
- three vests (tank tops)
- two t-shirts
- three skirts
- one dress
- one shorts
- one workout shorts
- one or two capri's
I have made a start though, I might even get halfway through before autumn is here :D The workout shorts were an urgent need, I've been doing aerobics in my Ottobre
yoga pants and the velour is a really, really bad fabric for working out in summer. There was plenty of orange interlock leftover from the
kids pj's though so I stuck with the Ottobre pattern and lopped off most of the length to get a perfect pair of summer workout shorts.
I went to work on the vests too, these use the Ottobre Woman Creative Workshop 303 package and the knits are from stash.
One t-shirt is completed using the Jalie Sweetheart pattern and an embroidery from
Emblibrary. The fabric is one of my favourites, a gorgeous bamboo lycra from
The Fabric Fairy.
I'm working on the first pair of capri's now, they have a fly front zip which I haven't made before and I'm psyching myself up for the zipper insertion. Maybe tomorrow!
Wow! You've been quite productive! I like it all...especially the Jalie top. The details on the front and the embroidery on the back are really neat!
