Hello lovely sew family and happy Hump day to you all! I don’t know about you but boy I feel like this week is flying by. Here we are already at the middle of the week and I must admit I still haven’t done any sewing! I did however finish some pattern drafting projects and I draped a muslin skirt just to brush up on some skills but no actual sewing yet. While I have several projects already cut out somehow completing them keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list. Oh well! If you know anything about me you know I work really well under the gun so I guess that’s what I will be doing again this week! LOL
In lieu of all the work I have to get done I’m going to keep today’s post short and sweet! As I mentioned earlier in the week I spent so much time playing around with family and friends that I spent Saturday night cranking some things out quickly to prepare for my shoot on Sunday. In the midst of rushing to get things done I also realized that I haven’t really made any casual run around town garments lately. You know the ones you throw on when you don’t have a lot of time but you still want to look good! So I decided to make this really simple high low top and mix it with a pair of harem pants from my favorite DIY pattern. To kick the look up a notch I decided to use a knit Camouflage print for the pants just to add a little street jazz if you will. I really like how it all turned out; so much so that I made the same look using the beautiful black jersey fabric I picked up from Saman Tex a couple of weeks ago. So there ya have it lovelies’ simple and quick! I hope you enjoy what I’ve done with this look and that you think about giving it a try yourself! Have an awesome rest of the week!
Hugs
