| A little snorkeling treasure. Hmmm...who else is sharing the ocean with me? |
...or can it?
Thought you might like to see what I will be working on this weekend between family activities.
The fabric on the left is a two color thread (cross-dyed?) linen with dark grey and sky blue threads. The one on the right is a Bali rayon. These were both picked up during my latest excursion to Oregon. The linen is from Mill End and the rayon from Fabric Depot. I am fond of the Eileen Fisher linen clothing I see, and this fabric/pattern combination sort of reminds me of her look. I am going to step out of my comfort zone and make the ruffle collar view for the top, and I am not sure yet of the pattern I will use for the bottom. I'll keep you posted!
Also, thank you for your opinions on the Burda pants. I appreciate all your thoughts and they will stay in my wardrobe rotation since they are so darn comfy!
Have an adventurous and safe weekend!

hi shannon,
i just started following your blog recently, i like to sew also. I really like the clothing that you make they are gorgeous! I just saw that you are in hawaii, i'm on oahu! Where do you get all your gorgeous fabric from online? I have a hard time finding fabrics locally!
Caitlin
I like your fabric choices! They are reminiscent of fall. I look forward to seeing how your outfit turns out.
Looking forward to seeing your outfit. Have a great weekend.
ooooh, I especially like the patterned fabric. Oh, and I looked at the jersey for my dress again, it is 100% polyester ... who knew? I think it ends up looking much nicer than the fabric content would indicate....
Looking forward to seeing what you are making.
Gorgeous fabric choices for that pattern! I'm looking forward to seeing what you sew. Nice tooth!!
Hi Caitlin! Nice to have another person from HI around! If you'd like to email me, I can share some resources that have worked for me. I'm in the same boat; very little fashion fabric available here. Upcountrymom"at"yahoo"dot"com
Yeah Hawaii! I *love* your state! I'd love to see more pix of local treasures!! Do you ever do touristy things, like the road to Hana, or seeing the sunrise at Haleakala, or go to Iao Needle "just because"? (all things I did on my last trip there...)
