H67

Forgive the bad lighting.  The shop lights focus well for working, with out getting too hot in my space, but not great for photos. I expected it to be a more productive month of work given all the ideas I had busting at my brain seams! But my fingers are out of practice & I decided to make several completely new patterns, another skill I haven't flexed in many years. All together, I am satisfied with my effort and look forward to the next period of work in my little hideout. 

Sheer version 1

Sheer version 2

I didn't have a large enough piece of fabric to lay these tops out the a single pattern piece it's designed for, so I look forward to making more when I come across enough material.  It's an interesting pattern with an arm sleeve that angles up, although it doesn't betray the level of drama in these renditions. 

After spending two weeks making one piece, and then another week making 2 pairs of jeans it was great to whip up this little cotton raglan sleeve blouse in a day with some medium weight material I bought at a flea market somewhere in America.

Jeans from a favorite pattern. Features side pockets and nice sleak button holes, which I need to get some detail shots of when I go back.

Sand and sage.

The purpose of this dress is to be so hideous it's good, and to work on my piping skills. If I can pipe a dress cut on the bias I should be able to do anything . 

This coat needs to be shown on a better hanger, and despite working on it for 2 weeks I still think it could be better. 

Inner detachable tulle dress. I wish it was 10x more floofy, but I didn't have enough material.  Next time. 

Jelly fish tassels.

Detachable hood.

Mock up for my crazy pants pattern inspired by the Greek God Pan. 👆🏻Back 👇🏻Front

Outer half of the two legs put together at the back with pockets, front side.

Outer half of the two legs with the inner leg gusset, not yet assembled because I ran out of the printed ikat cotton material I am using for the seam binding. Inside

Working on the paper pattern improved from having made a first draft out of landscaping cloth. It's so cheap and acts like it has the same weight as the cotton twill material I am going to make the pants from.

Nice to have so many air-conditioned hallways to run in on hot afternoons. 

Or not run in.
