Are you sick of seeing my face in your blog roll?

Picture

I can't tell you how productive I suddenly feel after getting these projects posted. I put most of these garments into rotation as I finished them; still, somehow, I don't feel like I've completely finished a project until I take pictures of it and share it on the blog. I'm not sure why. It's a very tangible way of seeing results, or something.

Picture

Almost immediately after the Archer pattern was released, I bought a few shirting fabrics specifically for it. I'm usually a stash shopper, but I had some very specific basics in mind for this pattern. I bought this Oxford pinpoint in green and pink- a little preppy, but very classic and versatile. Then, they sat on the shelf.

Picture

Fortunately, I remembered that I had this waiting in the wings when I set-out to sew. This shirt looks every bit as crisp and classy as I hoped. I can't wait to wear it with jeans and Sperry's or some white shorts. Lots of possibilities!

Picture

For purposes of this endeavor, I sewed another See&Sew 5076. This time, the fabric I used was a piece of Waverly upholstery weight cotton. It's a bit heavier than the other versions of the skirt I've sewn, but it has a nice drape and I really love the print. I had barely enough to squeeze out this skirt, so there's no print matching. I think the print is busy enough to disguise the breaks in pattern. At the very least, it's not the first thing I notice when I look at pictures of the skirt.

Picture

While I love these garments individually, I probably won't wear these together. The fabrics in both are both a little hefty and could use balancing. The skirt looks really great with a fitted tank, for instance. Regardless, I've got two more solid staples in the closet!

Alright, enough. I'll see you next week with more of the same!

Wow, I love them both, that skirt is really different and beautiful! I never seem to be able to find proper cotton Oxford, but I'm always on the lookout! Your shirt is such a pretty green!

I feel like that sometimes too, a project isn't really complete until it's blogged. Another great skirt and shirt combo!

ooh I love your Archer shirt! I've had this pattern for ages too, you've reminded me I need to make it up. I love the colour of yours and all the colours in your skirt. You're sewing up a storm at the moment!

I am so in love with your skirt! I'm going to have to go hunting down Waverly fabrics and make up something like that for me!

I love it! The skirt is especially great for this time of the year when everything is in bloom. You look set for a fancy tea party :)
