I was inspired by some weekend early Glee watching (and the arrival of my really sweet Hello! phone pin!) to start a new project. Colette Patterns Violet:
I'm using either a pale yellow Imperial batiste or a pale yellow shirting from Fabric.com. I've had it a while, and honestly can't remember! It presses nicely though, and is very lightweight, so I'm leaning toward the Imperial!
A couple of in progress shots...collar is attached, waiting on facing, need side seams and sleeves.
The collar is a sweet, old-fashioned peter pan:
The instruction booklet is very thorough, even for this simple little blouse. It's recommended for beginners and I concur! Very easy to read/understand instructions with lots of little tidbits that are good to know and remember for other projects.
I'm probably done for the day as far as sewing goes though; it's beautiful! I want to get back out there and enjoy the pretty weather. We went from 105 to 75 in the space of a day!
Speaking of weather, a couple of weeks ago it sprinkled early in the morning as the sun came up and I got a couple of great shots of the giant rainbow over my house.
And not one, but two!
Yea, that youtube guy woulda been crying for sure. ;)
This pattern is waiting for me to make a muslin, and staring at me with it's pretty little eyes. Can't wait to see how yours turns out, and a photo with the sweet new pin! :)
ReplyDeleteI really love that pattern (it's one of the few Collette patterns I've considered buying). Can't wait to see how it turns out (oh Miss Crabby-I-Never-Sew-Anything-Cute-Pants... that looks like something cute to me!)
ReplyDeletestop sewing yellow - unless you fixed your shoes. Did you? What will you wear with that sweet yellow blouse? g
ReplyDeleteLOVE the violet blouse--the peter pan collar is so lovely! The double rainbow made me think of the youtube guy straight away..ehhehehehehe
ReplyDeleteI like what I see - soft yellow, Peter Pan collar. The rainbow promises good things.
