Lace Trimmed Blue Top

Image
  I wore this blue top the other day to work and then for a Frosted Coffee run afterwards (I’m trying very hard to think spring these days, despite temps not quite there yet…). I used an old Simplicity pattern, but Butterick 6847 would work as well (neither has lace, I just measured around the bottom once it was together and bought enough to add). I couldn’t find stretch lace locally that was as wide as I had pictured in my head, so I’ll have to be a little careful when sitting down, but I just love how the white lace really makes the whole outfit pop!

Grey Wide Legged Pants & Fall List

Image
I made these wide legged pants to be a part of my fall wardrobe, and I really liked how they turned out.  They are the same ones I used for this blog post (always love to reuse a pattern!), only out of a much lighter weight fabric, and not lined.  If you look closely at the last picture, you can see that the fabric (a Robert Kaufman Essex Linen/Cotton blend) is actually a tiny black and white window pane check, but it comes off grey.   Any one else starting to put together their fall plans yet?  It's finally cool enough around here for me to be in the mood to work on my fall projects.  Here are some things I'm hoping to accomplish:  Knit new dishcloths  - my mom told me she is in need of new ones, and now that it's fall, it seems like the time for a new knitting project.  Find a Vegetable Soup Recipe - I've been trying a new creamy vegetable soup recipe every week in search of the perfect one. If I can’t find one, I guess I might have to draft my own!  Walk outside whe

Wool Vest

Image
If you sew, then you know that if  you ever see something in the store, a picture, a catalog, etc., and wish you could make that exact garment yourself, because they're out of your size, or you know you could do it for less money, or could tweak some detail about it, or maybe just love the fabric but want a different piece of clothing out of it, then you also know that your odds of finding that fabric on a bolt in a fabric store are low.   Really low.   In fact, probably nonexistent.   That’s what I thought when I saw a really cute vest outfit that came up in a google search of fall outfits. I saved the picture to keep in mind for later, figuring I'd be able to do something with the idea in the future.  But then I found the perfect fabric (almost identical to the picture!) only a few weeks later.  I pulled out this Simplicity pattern,  got to work, and now I have the exact garment I had wanted in a warm wool for the fall and winter weather.
