This photo shows the design on the blouse fabric more clearly and shows the true colour of the skirt. I love them both!
The best thing about both of these garments is that both pieces of fabric came from the remnant table in my local fabric shop. The blouse fabric cost me £4 and the skirt fabric cost me £2. Now that's what I call a great deal!
The buttons came from my button boxes so no extra cost there but I didn't have the right colour of zip for the skirt so I went to the same fabric shop today to get one. Needless to say, I took a look at the remnant table and picked up another piece of cotton for £4. I'll be making another bargain blouse with that one soon. I do love a bargain! :o)
Absolutely gorgeous outfit. And now I know where I get my love of a bargain from!
ReplyDeleteBargains are the best thing ever! Other than chocolate, of course! LOL
DeleteLooking good Anne, and I;ve just purchased the blouse pattern you showed a couple of posts ago and am going to try and get some time to make a skirt and top for summer this year. Haven't done much clothes sewing for ages. Thanks for giving me some inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to think I've inspired you, Susan. I'm sure it'll all go well! :o)
DeleteA lovely outfit, and so thrifty. I do love a good bargain.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. Me too! :oD
DeleteLove remnant tables... always a lot of good stuff there!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric and great colors! You GO, girlfriend!
I have to go and get some thread this morning and I just know I'll be back at the remnant table. It's an addiction! :oD
DeleteGreat colours and I love the neck line. I've never tried making clothes, always been a bit scared! Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Chel x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chel. The blouse is very comfy and easy to wear - a real bonus! :o)
DeleteWay cute Anne! You are on a roll...keep up the good work. You'll have a whole new wardrobe before you know it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanna. I might have to have a bit of a clear out if I keep going like this! :oD
