My darling Grandma Judy and I went shopping at Joann Fabrics a couple weeks ago during one of their big sales. I picked up some button the the CPJ and 11 McCalls patterns. If you're familiar with Joann's I'm sure you know what the red tag section is? Well it is a sale section and it was 50% extra off at that time. My friend and I are both really into teal/aqua at the moment, so I immediately thought of her when I saw this fabric. Turns out that since it was only $1 a yard (!) my Grandma just bought the whole bolt for me! Like 9 yards I think. :-) Loveliness. :-)
So I gave some of it to Shannen and she is going to come over sometime and sew up a shirt. I made one up yesterday afternoon to test the pattern and was a little worried about the finished product, but I think it is growing on me. Anyway, I wore this outfit to my awards ceremony last night and one of my new friends loved it and I told her she should make one. :-) So Kristiana will also be making one.
(Finally got to wear that pendant! Been looking for something to match it. :-)
Here it is.

The side...
Hemming knits is not the loveliest task in the work, so thankfully this pattern only requires the back of the neck to be hemmed.
The back.
I realize I am wearing it a little short here, but with this skirt it did not sit well very low. I tried it on with jeans today and it works though. :-)
Pictures thanks to the tripod and self-timer. Now...to get a remote. ;-)
That's lovely! Did you make the skirt too?
ReplyDeleteThanks! And no, I got the skirt at Khols a couple of years back. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the shirt! Maybe I'll make one for my next sewing project.
ReplyDeleteThat shirt is to die for! And I adore the color.
