Dee
For this spring two versatile new wardrobe basics were made from Fabric Mart fabric. A basic skirt and a colorful summer top.
Butterick 6855, view a, was made from a Challis 100% Rayon, light flowing fabric. This fabric is colorful and a great summer top. It can be worn with a skirt, slacks, belted, or worn loose. Box pleat on the edges of both sleeves, and a pleat is formed at the bottom of the neck plackets. Adding some detail.
Simplicity 9891 is made from a 97% Cotton/3% Lycra, Bottom Weight Fabric. The skirt made up beautifully and will wear well. A staple in my wardrobe.
Thank you Fabric Mart for the beautiful fabric!
Dory
Dory used two 100% cotton knits from Fabric Mart to make McCall’s 7662 (a pattern from 1995) View A Tunic, Pants, and Tank top. It makes a very comfortable lounge outfit, plus the tank top looks great as a separate to wear with jeans!
The pattern is very easy to make and the fabric was so fun to work with. Loved the absolutely fun travel fabric for the tank top and got the bright pink to really set it off.
While making the tunic she had some difficulty with the neckline and ended up cutting it entirely off and redoing it. After making the tunic and seeing how difficult it was to make it lay nice at the neckline Dory skipped the facings for the tank top and just used lining to finish off the underarms and neckline.
I see many relaxing days ahead in this comfortable lounge outfit!!
