Always look forward and try not to glance back.
Today's attire includes:
Rebecca Page's Kingston Jacket
It was a chilly drive to drop Husband off at work this morning, so I had to sport my stylish Kingston Jacket.
I loved this Tiger Fabric when I first saw it - I sing, "Eye of the Tiger" every time I put it on.
Ironically, this was my first ever pattern testing last year - experience it all over again with me!
5 out of 4's Gloria Peplum Top
This top was a simple sew with a different arm option - the split sleeve!
I made mine as part of a Sew-A-Long last week, and won a free pattern for my creation (yeah!).
I originally had the elbow length sleeve, however, cut it to short sleeve as my sleeve fabric wasn't crapey enough and looked weird with a longer sleeve. I know for next time!
I love the way this Peplum fits and that it wasn't a fabric hog - it's quite flattering, even at a shorter length than I normally would wear.
Koerb Bros Stitch High Waisted Leggings
When I first saw the picture of these leggings from an unknown designer, I knew I needed them!
They have options for lace up or zipper sides, and I opted for the capris length.
The directions REALLY confused me - my head hurt while sewing these up last year.
So, thankfully, I had sewn enough at that point that I was able to sew them together - but if I'd been a beginner sewist, the instructions are too vague that I would of thrown in the towel on making these.
I *do* love the grommets with lacing at the side, however, next time I'd add a "modesty panel" at the sides so the grommets don't directly hit my skin - sometimes they pinch in a bit too much depending on my movement (or lack thereof).
Sew On!
