A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Happy Friday + Mustard/Grey Combo

October 12, 2012

I am loving all the mustard and grey color combinations I’ve been seeing lately. And I absolutely adore my creations: a longish cotton jacket with a fluffy gathered skirt. Such a cute pairing!

I took tons of pictures, and my little model with saggy tights obliged:

I made up the pattern for the skirt (if you can call two rectangles a pattern) and the jacket is from here. Love love love! Must run, K doesn’t have school today and she’s demanding that we work on an art project. Have a happy weekend, all.

      Thanks Lucinda – the polka dot fabric is by Lotta Jansdotter and I have it in a yellow colorway too. It’s a great cotton!

      Hi Robin! Thanks for the lovely comment! The fabric is 100% cotton but has subtle texture that makes it look like linen.

The word that incites terror in most newbie sewing The word that incites terror in most newbie sewing enthusiasts: zippers. Now that I have a few years of sewing under my belt I’m less cowed by them, but there’s something about long, separating zippers that still makes me nervous. I powered through, however, and made this versatile twill hooded jacket originating from a @patterncouture_ zip-up hoodie pattern meant for knit fabrics that I modified a lot. I blogged about it! Link in bio if you’d like to see the different versions I created. 

To skip zippers altogether and make a truly summery garment, swipe and check out my NEW @creativebug Tiered Dress class (link also in bio!). Back to sewing more hot weather stuff because I’m going to Japan for a special trip next week! 🇯🇵🇯🇵
