I’m still working on the McCall’s 5471 muslin. I ran into a snag with the bubble sleeve and had it all messed up. I ended up re-cutting one sleeve and cuff so I could start over. I would like for it to be a wearable muslin. I might do a post on it, but I just needed to take a break. You know how it is.
Well, here are the skirt combos so far. What do ya’ll think?
Last December, I was interviewed by Adrienne of Real Life: Live & Unscripted. We talked about how I got started sewing, favorite patterns, crazy sewing mistakes, and more! It was a fun conversation, and Adrienne was a great interviewer. Though you all know me as Pirouette, yes, my first name is Krystal (just so there’s…
This isn’t really a review since I’ve made Simplicity 3503 before. The only things I did differently this time around are cutting the bodice at a size 6 and the skirt at a size 8. Also, the dress is completely lined with pink tricot. The fabric is a shimmery pink knit. It is sooo pretty!…
The new Simplicities just came out. There are actually a few I dig. Here’s my take on some of the new patterns. Hello, Cleopatra! The top dress looks very Egyptian-inspired. However, I love the view in the top middle. Though it calls for a woven, it might be really nice and comfy in a jersey…
Pattern Description: Above waist, creased pants A, B, C have fly front zipper and back darts. A, B: front darts. Pattern Sizing: I made View B in a size 12. Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing? Yes, I think so. Were the instructions easy to follow?…
Pattern Description: Amy Butler Frenchy Bag–“Over the shoulder or close at hand, these vintage glamour bags are quintessensial for keeping you everyday necessities handy.” Pattern Sizing: Shoulder bag–14-3/4″ wide x 16-1/2″ tall (25-1/4″ tall including straps); Handbag–11-1/4″ wide x 11-1/4″ tall (14-1/2″ tall including straps). Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope…
Pattern Description:Butterick 4977 Halter Dress–Lined, halter dress, fitted across bust, has braided ties around neck, gathered skirt and upper section with purchased bra cups. View B: above ankle length with front slit opening, invisible zipper closing. Pattern Sizing:6-12. I made a size 10. This was bit small for me. I should have made a 12,…

Hi, D.Styles. Thanks for dropping by. I hope this won’t be your last visit!
I love the combos. I found your link thru live and learn & I’m glad I did!
I think it looks nice.
Hi, Carolyn. It was an either/or for me. The underlining took care of the thinness of the fabric.
This skirt is another great addition to the wardrobe! And works so well with all of your pieces…I especially like it with the S3631 jacket! I’m just wondering though why you didn’t add a lining even though you underlined the skirt?
I love all of your pieces. Great wardrobe.
Sigrid, your Burda skirt with the topstitching is to die for! Thanks for stopping by.
Paco, I found your blog through Gorgeous Things. I’m inspired by your impeccable attention to detail!
This is a beautiful wardrobe plan and I like the combinations with your skirt very much. Glad to have found your blog.
Hello, greetings from Barcelona (Spain). Thanks to put on your list of links. You have in your blog a wonderful job, really, I like a lot. Forgive my English but I need the help of a translator in order to write. Ah!, Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books, as well as all of the novels Bronthe sisters. Cheers and a big hug, Paco
Really is looking very good. Like the color combinations.
Beautiful job!I am loving all of it.It looks very elegant.
This skirt is so cute. I like everything you’ve done so far. I have that skirt on my cutting table to make up next. Great Job!!
this is a great wardrobe so far. classy and fresh. you’re making me *maybe* think about giving it another try
Love the skirt with the red top. I also like the jacket with the skirt. I might consider sewing the jacket, but with a different sleeve or some variation of sleeve. You are making great progress
