I have woken up to a wonderfully sunny Saturday - I hope you have too !
I have some pictures to show of my finished Jasmine, Dolly is modelling for us as I wanted to get a picture up so you could see that I have done some sewing !
I still have not snapped the skirt but am hopeful to share that tomorrow. I made the skirt to match the Jasmine so I hope to get a picture of the whole outfit actually being worn. I must say that I am thrilled with both pieces, and am happy to say that I managed both in February ! I cant believe my industry !
Forgive the lopsided nature of the photos, Dolly does not have much space around her for manoeuvres and I am not 100% sure that our floor is level after seeing these pics !

| I love this fabric ! half silk, half cotton. I DID NOT LOVE SEWING IT ! |
 |
| Dolly ! You could have ironed your shirt before show and tell. You are slovenly ! |
 |
| Dont adjust your set ! This fabric IS pretty psychedelic ! |
Here is a sneak peek of the (then unfinished) skirt - I like to call it the 'Mint Aero' ! Clever me making clothes that look like chocolate !

| Brown linen interlined with green cotton voile. |
I hope you have a wonderful Saturday and I will be back tomorrow to share the chocolate with you all :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks Gail ! I cant wait to show the whole outfit - I am super pleased !!

The fabric is such a fun print! The Jasmine blouse looks great.:)
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) I love the jasmine, tho the collar is a little tricky to lay flat. Will make up some more for sure. Thanks for visiting ! xx
DeleteThis is so pretty...you are ready for spring. So glad I popped over from Justine's blog to look at your blog :-)
ReplyDeleteI know ! I cant believe I am making me a a separates spring wardrobe. It is very exciting ! Thanks for visiting ! xx
DeleteOoh, that does look like aero :) Nice blouse. I love the jasmine pattern.
ReplyDeleteMe too, but there are a few adjustments that I will make next time I sew it. Its a very flattering cut though. I must say I found the fabric difficult to work with as it was slippery and cut on the bias.
DeleteI am loving my aero skirt, brown is such a good colour to go with other colours. BTW I hope you got your fabric by now :-)
Thanks for visiting ! xx
lovely top, is it a new look pattern, only Judy from blessed sew mawr made a pattern almost identical this week.
ReplyDeleteooo I shall have to check hers out thanks for the info ! :-) The pattern used is a Colette pattern (Jasmine), their patterns are super nice to sew, especially for beginners. Thanks for visiting ! xx
DeleteLove the Jasmine! Great fabric.
ReplyDeleteThank you ! :-) I do love the fabric, but it was pretty tricky to work with. I am going to make a Jasmine up in cotton next, hopefully it will be easier to sew ! Thank you for stopping by xx
DeleteIt looks nice! I would love to see it on!
ReplyDeleteThanks ! I will snap a few pics at the weekend and share :-) xx
DeleteKirsty, it's lovely, the fabric's really pretty. Next time you're working with slippery fabric, try starching it first - I use the spray on and iron stuff from the supermarket. Makes it much better behaved.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris ! :-) The tip sounds good, I shall try that next time for sure. Well behaved fabric is what I am after ! xx
DeleteGreat job! This looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginger ! :-) I must admit I love it muchly. In fact I ma wearing it today ! I got loads of compliments ! Its brilliant being able to sew xx
DeleteI LOVE your fabric! It turned out beautifully!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ! I love the fabric too - and am pretty happy with how nice the top turned out to be. Will defo share some pics when it is being worn as no offence to Dolly but I don't think she is doing it justice ! ;-) xx
