Talk about feeling the breeze!!!!!

Won't be sweating with this vest on! 
I was aiming for a futuristic not form fitting look, but I think this journey took me into the 80's, maybe 90's? hahaha.
 
Fuchsia, non-stretch fabric
Inspiration: A random photograph from the internet

 
It has a sporty feel to it, might wear it to the gym :)
It'll keep me warm........NOT
 
 

 
I spy with my little eye.....a sewing machine!!!

 
 
The collar can be left standing up or down
 
 

Burda Style 7063 View A

I made this shirt to survive the heat in Phoenix AZ!

Fabric: 100% Cotton
 
Instead of making button holes and sewing on about 10 buttons, I placed 2 snaps at belly level.
 
 
I like that this blouse is not skin tight hahaha

Flowy Summer Shirt

Chiffon?????? what?????? did I actually attempt to tango with my nemesis fabric? I guess so!
From the beginning, this fabric was rebellious, I had to place wrapping paper underneath it, in order to obtain straight edges. It was magic.......until I got to the hem!!! This step was disastrous, not even the powerful mighty steam could tame it.........the wonky hem came out victorious.
 As long as nobody looks at it with a magnifying glass, I will not stress over it.
 



It fits, I'm happy!!!!!
Fabric: Chiffon, from SAS
Pattern: Colorful stripped shirt
Happy sewing days to all the seamstress and tailors out there in the world!

PINK FASHION FOR SCHOOL
 
Last minute project before the school year begins!!!!!
This pink 3D rosette chiffon lace (it stretches, which allows for growth) was a purchase at JoAnn's fabric store.
It is fully lined with a white jersey, elastic on the waist and ready to be worn.
