:) Today's photo theme for the Me-Made-May '13 is hat, and since I have pattern Vogue V8844 in the stash for months now, it's the perfect time and excuse to make it! :)
I suppose this is a refashion project, coz the main fabric used for the hat was what's left from the pants that I cut up firstly to up-size my linen blend jacket, while the contrast fabric was leftover from one of my sad skirt projects. (P/s: I made View A)
And,
here worn for the first time my yoga waistband maxi skirt (a Simplicity
pattern that I can't recall right now but will link later. Hey, it's Simplicity 1616!) done up in a
bold print ITY knit called Urban Moon that I got from Marci Tilton's booth during the
March 2013 Sew Expo in Puyallup. (They don't have it on their website in
this color anymore, but there's one with black background with grays, taupes and teals which is quite lovely too). Mine is burnt orange with black, chocolate browns, beige, emerald green I think. :)
What do you think? Isn't it quite bold of me?
Really nice weather today. It was nice to walk a bit by the waterfront and then grab some shrimp and fries with the Bean. :)
Have a great weekend y'all! And happy sewing!

Hi Far, I love this outfit on you - nice long slender line, nice slim line through your middle - you've done really well. Jacket and hat are lovely and so is the skirt. And the sunnies. Lovely fun, relaxed outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah Liz. I took note of your tips, hehe...
DeleteYour hat is really cute! I love this pattern too :) A fantastic use of leftovers!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn! Haha, I copied your use of pants leftovers since I wanted a matching hat and jacket :) I think I save every odd piece of sewing leftovers...
