...and the skirt has been started.
It's looking like I imagined and the top fits without the extra boxy-ness that the original pattern has. I've made a few changes to the outfit during construction, besides the pattern alterations, which I'll discuss in the reveal post. However, I'm happy with how the pieces are looking so far.
I'm thinking that I won't have the "Five in Five" garments done in the time frame I'd originally imagined...but I'm okay with that. I'll definitely finish these pieces next weekend and then I'm moving onto the coat project.
Just wanted to give an update...
...as always more later!
I love reading your blog you got me started again. I can't wait to see this finish project. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a stunning outfit. I love it. I had a weekend where I just didn't do anything because I'm at a point where I just don't know what to do. g
ReplyDeleteLove your too. Bet the skit will be nife when you finish it.
ReplyDeleteI think this is going to be a spectacular outfit! Is there a bit of Scandal influence this choice. It looks so DC. (Smile)
ReplyDeleteWow, what you have done so far is beautiful. I love the pop of white. You do have such vision!
ReplyDeleteI'm making that outfit too and may have to follow your lead a little on the collar contrast a little and stripes. too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is so versatile. The top can be paired with other skirts or pants, as well as the skirt paired with tops. Great pieces.
ReplyDeleteYour "chugging along" is getting good results. You are going to have a nice outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks C.! Can you tell I have been learning from some of your earlier posts in my efforts to "sew better"? Really looking forward to your COAT!
ReplyDeleteLove the white contrast on this outfit. Another awesome garment!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just need a break! I love the skirt and top!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished skirt and top!
ReplyDeleteNice touch using a contrasting color on the collar and the sleeve cuffs. I must order this pattern when there is another sale.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to look great, wish I had thought of that colour combination. Very striking.
