| Navy linen for wrap around skirt Navy /white polka dot cotton for blouse |

| Pattern found at the Thrift store. The wrap around skirt , was the reason I bought the pattern. But, now that I am working on it.. I really like the blouse. I am sewing on this project now.. and it is almost completed.. Hope to share photos of it real soon. This will be my January garment for my Garment of the Month Sew a Long.. |
I have to say that your fabric choices are far better than those on the pattern! Looks like it will be a fabulous outfit!
ReplyDeleteThank you.. [don't you just love photos on these old patterns.hahaha]
DeleteNice pattern. Love the polka dot fabric.
ReplyDeleteThank you.. I like polka dots too.. I am intending to wear a red cardigan with it too..
DeleteI hope it goes well. I love the idea of wrap skirts but as of yet have not made one that I liked. My mom made she and I matching ones when I was about 5 though and they were adorable.
ReplyDeletethank you Stepanie, I like the wrap skirts too

ReplyDeleteI will be living vicariously through you until I can find the room to unpack my sewing! LOL
Thank you Stacy..
DeleteOh..I hope you find another [bigger] house, real soon.. I am really missing your sewing projects--- and I know you are..
A wrap skirt is so classic. I should scout out a pattern for myself. Love your fabrics. Look forward to seeing it.

Dear Judy,
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the photo...I just love "dotted" fabric...always a classic! I remember a wrapped skirt that my mom made for me when I was small...pleated, wool, blue watch plaid...with a vest and the most adorable little buckles...oh, I just loved that outfit!
Hope you and Kenny have a fabulous weekend!
With love,
Laura
Thank you Laura.. I too had one of those wool skirts with the buckles.. So cute.. I hated when I outgrew it.ha.
DeleteHugs and best wishes to you too..
Judy, I love a wrap skirt! I forgot all about them until I saw your pattern and the love came rushing back. I think the fabric choice you have made will be ideal, really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI also love your blog update, it looks so fresh and springy!
Thank you Cathe... I too, had forgotten the wrap skirt, until I found this pattern.. The blouse is really cute in person..
DeleteI am SO READY for spring.... I got to playing with the blog and I think, I got everything messed up. You know me...lol
