4 Gore Skirt
Perfect for a quick sew..
Note: to see a  better view of photos, click on them.

Red/Black/white  polka dot from stash.
Simple elastic waist.  I paired this with a
black cardigan and RTW white top,
this will be for the fall.

OOOPS.. Sorry I didn't fix the built in cami,
on my lace blouse... I paired it with this top,
and it was a pretty good look too.

Skirt ..
Nice and comfortable on  a hot summer day.
I  will pair it with a simple white top, and sandals,
for a cool/comfortable   shopping day or running
errands.

Fabric-  from stash
pattern- from my singer book

I have several items that I have sewed the last couple weeks..
My internet was down and I couldn't get any posting
done. Sorry.

This dress is from my MAGAM   July  challenge.. I
actually  got it made in July.. I will post it, as soon
as I get some  photos.. So for now, you get to
see the pattern.ha

  4. Polka dots always look fantastic - and you can't beat those elastic waists for comfort and wearability - I'm making more and more of them myself:)

    Very pretty skirt, look forward to seeing the dress soon.

  5. Red? Of course! Lovely? Absolutely! I am in a whirlwind of knitting, lately. Portable, as my sewing supplies are a bit scattered. Hopeful to get my sewing room re-configured after our move to wherever He send us. Perhaps should call it a 'studio' to multi craft? But then I'll need more paints and goodness knows where that will lead! keep sewing, friend. Oh, I AM getting some mending and altering done. xxoo to you Judy, D

    2. Lovely skirt. Good to pair it with the lace top too :)by the way I have read a couple of reviews and heard that this book gives tips on wardrobe building. How good are they? Let me know. I made a simple jacket yesterday and very eager to read tips on wardrobe building. The patterns in the book might not be of great use to me though.

  7. Your skirt is really pretty. Now, I really like the RTW white top. I've purchased a pattern like it because I like the top that my husband purchased. It is very comfy.
