Simple sewing

I have been sewing, but nothing exciting. I made this top from Kwik Sew 3338 with my usual Stitches magazine cowl collar added to it. This is the same beautifuly rayon as the darker brown I made earlier in the week. I bought these two fabrics to use as layering garments. They look better together in real life than on Vera.

Next up I made these pants from BWOF 10-2007-115 - the same as the charcoal ones I made a week or two ago. Sorry about the photo on the bed. I need to find a better way to photograph pants. I bought this fabric last winter and never got around to sewing it up. It's a heathered brown RPL from Gorgeous Fabrics and if you want a lightweight pant or skirt fabric with lovely drape, then I highly recommend this one. It is still available and I think I have to get some more. I have a dress in mind.
I had enough left to make this skirt from Vogue 8604. It's way, way longer than I usually wear but I decided to give a longer skirt a try for winter.


I'm not sure what to sew next. I'm stagnated on the trench and I don't want to force myself to work on it when I'm not feeling the love. I'm going to sit down tonight and wade through some patterns and see if anything strikes my fancy. If it doesn't, I have a pair of jeans cut out and ready to sew.

I have bought that RPL too, and love it like you do! Maybe I should get some more.

Fabulous pieces, btw!

I LOVE that layered together. Very... j. Crew / Calvin Klein.

You have been busy! Do you have the issue number that the Stitches have the cowl variation for KS 3338? It looks very attractive.

Your sewing might be simple but its stylish and teams well together. Why not wear your pants for the photograph? I definitely would like to catch up when you are in Sydney. Weekdays are best for me. Send me an email as you've taken your email address off your blog.
Whats with the Chinese commentary. Another blogger was complaining about this today - new form of spamming?

You call it simple, but I see a lot of great garments that go very well together. Love that skirt!

You have been busy and maybe I need to visit Gorgeous Fabrics.

Vicki you might want to have a look at Volume 14, No. 3 page 30 by Pamela Kerr.
