Summer skirt and blouse - Simplicity 2599



Hi


Wow, I have not posted for over a month. The coat has been a labour of love with a considerable amount of hand sewing. I am nearly finished but have run out of ribbon and there is none to be found at my local sewing shops. So as it may be another two weeks I thought I would post on something I made last summer.

The blouse pattern was extremely popular last year amongst sewers. I did not need to change anything with the pattern. The ruffled version was time consuming but worth it. I edged the ruffles using washable embroidery backing called rinse away. It gave the soft silk enough body to edge with a feather stitch. The skirt is silk tweed.

Cheers

Lara
