It took SEVEN wearable toiles before I was ready to cut into my mom's skirt fabric to make this McCalls 6504 short-sleeve shirt w/collar band, pocket, button placket, self-cuffed sleeve, and vertical front darts. It's now my fav.

Second Butterick 6838 nightgown - this time in a wonderfully soft winter-print knit. Used a coverstitch for sleeve hem, but went with a decorative stitch on the lower hem.

Butterick 6838 night gown in a fall print (gosh, hope it doesn't keep me up at night!). Pattern left to me by a dear friend who died last year, so I will think of her every time I wear it. Cutting out another as we speak.

I've not had much time or inertia for sewing lately, but here's a progress shot of my #CrosstownCrescentBag I'm making from the scraps from shortening my quilt coat into a blazer. Lining is a thrifted duvet.

The #truebiasquinn vest, all finished and looking very polished if I do say so myself. I am going to wait a few weeks to wear this as I think it gives Florida fall vibes. Love this linen from The Sewing Studio in Orlando.

It has a black tag with gold rainbow and gold text that says, “Handmade by Caroline.” The back of the vest, showing a slide buckle to adjust the fit in the back Closer up views of the vest An outfit idea, pairing the vest with a cream colored skirt with a tulle outer layer embroidered with little pink, yellow, and blue flowers, and brown and banana stripe adidas sneakers.

I changed my mind and now I am going to work on the Quinn Vest from True Bias. I am making the long vest view. It includes a slide buckle belt in the back. I got this brown pinstripe linen at The Sewing Studio in Orlando. #truebiaspatterns #truebiasquinn #sewing #garmentsewing #sewskyfallchallenge
The Quinn Vest & Dress pattern is laid out on a table along with some brown linen pinstripe fabric, some fusible interfacing, brown thread, four brown buttons, and a brass sliding buckle

If it's flannel it counts for #sewskyfallchallenge, right? McCalls 6024 wrap dress. Originally made with sleeve ruffle, but didn't like that at all. My smile is crooked due to dentist appt. ;-)
