Just One More

I think I'm going to make it.  One more outfit before PJ time this weekend.  Here are my fabrics.  I am making another separates ensemble.  The black fabric was listed as a rayon gabardine and came from FFC.  I have my doubts about the fabric content, but am happy with how it looks, feels, and drapes.  The animal print is a polyester satin charmeuse from Fabric.com.  The black fabric has already been transformed into this:
The skirt pattern is from the Burda Style 12/2009 issue, just like my last dress.  The blouse will be a bit more complicated as I am using three different patterns to achieve my desired look.  Let's hope it works out or you may only be seeing the skirt!  How about a tranquil shot to close out the night or to awaken the day...may it be a peaceful one.

What a gorgeous view! You certainly have an ambitious sewing list for one week-end. Good luck with the blouse - you can do it. Can't wait to see the results.

Such a beautiful picture! I look forward to seeing your ensemble. I am embarrassed to admit that I never thought about mixing patterns to create your own new look... I like that idea!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Gorgeous view. It was two years ago this week that I was on Maui! We stayed in Kehei.

What a lovely outfit! I really...really...really like the skirt. You did a great job. I also enjoy seeing your photos of Maui, keep them coming. I'm hoping one day I'll get to see Maui in person. In the meantime, keep the photos coming.
