In a previous post French cuffs I had self drafted this pattern with long sleeves and french cuffs, since I like to make a pattern more than once (because of the amount of time it takes to draft and get to the final stage).
This time I made it with short sleeves, why? Hmm, didn't have enough of this fabric to make it up as a long sleeve shirt. I also decided that I wanted to use lots of mother of pearl buttons that I had purchased online:
The skirt is an A Line pattern I made up from a wool/polyester fabric I had purchased for $7 a meter.
In hindsight, I should have cut this skirt on the bias to make the check more interesting.
I know it is summery looking, but the skirt is quite a winter weight. However, it suits me because I often find when indoors during winter that it gets too hot.
Working on a quilt or two right now as gifts, so maybe my next post will be about this. Or maybe the new Ottobre magazine would have arrived by then!
Happy sewing everyone.
