Sew Weekly Reunion

Hello Lovelies!
I had so much fun making the voice meme that's going around that I thought I give it another try with my Sew Weekly Reunion challenge. It also seemed a good way to condense a lot of info into one blog post. So please bear with all my "umm'ss" and other weird quirks and enjoy!

The Facts


Fabric: Probably Polyester
Notions: Buttons and Elastic
Pantone Challenge colors: Vivacious & 
Pattern: Advance 4640 and Lutterloh kimono top
Year: Early 1950s and 70s
Time to complete: 6hrs?
First worn: For video
Wear again? No, after making the videos I wore it around the house and the fit on it is terrible. It is too short and it keeps riding up and making a poof on my upper chest. I think I was in too much of a hurry and needed to add some gathers or pleats in the neckline to make it fit better. I am going to slice it up for part of my infinity scarves.
Total Cost: Free, fabric and notions all came from stash and will return to it.
All the details, the pretty and the not so pretty.



The Facts


Fabric: Brussels Washer Linen from Fabric.com and cotton scraps for pockets and waistband lining
Notions: Interfacing, buttons, zipper (all from stash, yea!!)
Pantone Challenge colors: Carafe
Pattern: Simplicity 2562 
Year: 2009

Wear again? OH YEAH!! These are super comfy and I had a hard time taking them off after the photo shoot so I could keep them clean for the trip!
Total Cost: $18
All the lovely details!


Front, Back and falling over! Who knew photo shoots could be so dangerous?
