For this post, I have two garments to show you! I found this beautiful coral colored stretch shirting from Fabric Mart and after deciding I must sew with more color once in a while, I snatched it up.
It is so beautiful to work with! I love FMs selection of designer fabrics. They are such nice quality.
I chose these two patterns, both from Rebecca Page.
I like the ultra feminine designs of both these garments and the ties on both!
For the skirt, I found this so pretty metallic suiting and knew it would make a great something. I finally decided on this cute skirt design. I ended up lining the skirt with some leftovers from my stash. It worked beautifully.
I love lining skirts. They look so much smoother when worn.
See how nicely the shirting gathered?
The waist tie is fun.
I am pretty happy with how this turned out!
Thanks for reading!

Beautiful! I agree the neckties in the picture look a bit too close, like they could strangle a person. I have this pattern and I really like it.
ReplyDeleteI love this combo! The skirt especially, it almost makes me wish I had to dress business-casually for work.
