The briefest glimmer of sun yesterday so the quickest of photo shoots in the tiny yard otherwise know as our garden. This skirt was from Simple Modern Sewing. I made a small size and added a little length. It is an easy and forgiving pattern with an adjustable waist yoke fastened with Liberty ties.
The tank is a Wiksten tank, size S and shortened as I didn't have much of this fabric left. A relatively straightforward make but a lot of binding- I bound the hem as well as the arms and neck. The sandals are Saltwater from here and I can't wait to wear them for days on end in warm sunny weather, I realise this may be a fantasy.
Damian was taking the photos and we were quickly joined by a little helper.
Yeah I know, they say owners start to look like their dogs ;)
what a fab skirt! I'm still too scared to make clothes for me :-/
ReplyDeleteJust so impressed by how you can make your own, lovely wardrobe. The liberty with the linen is super...
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit Kerry! I really like the fabric you used for the top, and the Liberty ties are the perfect finishing touch. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skirt Kerry and I just love the Liberty ties. Your little helper is so cute!

I like the Simple Modern Sewing Book. You trace off a main sheet, the designs are very Japanese style, simple, layered and easy wear- lots of potential in it. The dog, Lottie is 5 this year- she wears it well!
Deletelol! you are much prettier than your puppy, but she is really cute too! ;) very cute skirt i love the liberty ties!
ReplyDeleteOh, your skirt is lovely but your 'little helper' is adorable! I'm getting a Cavalier in about a month (black, white and tan) and can't wait! The last photo of the two of you is so sweet and ~ no ~ you don't look like Lottie ~ teehee!
ReplyDeleteLove the entire outfit, and your little helper is very cute - how long did it take to get you both looking at the camera together? ;o)
ReplyDeleteLove these pics.... if its true about dogs & their owners I'm snookered!!
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is lovely! It is on my list of things to sew. This weekend I was working on the linen cropped pants from the same book. I hope to have two new pairs done by the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteEverything about this post is lovely!
