I'm finally home and able to enjoy this blog post more fully. I couldn't really see clearly on my portable gadget - I prefer the big screen. I love the way your style is evolving into simple, feminine garments that just work so well for your lifestyle. No point making clothes you won't wear. Must have taken you ages to do the photographs to get a handful that were just right. They are lovely though.

I love pockets in skirts/dresses too. Yours look so good it's hard to believe that it was a quick and easy project.

Another super cute outfit, Lisa! something at which you excel. They both look nice and pretty, and comfortable to wear too :) I like the last picture, of you rushing to get in the shot before the timer goes off! I must say, having the remote does make it a tonne easier. But if I use a timer I'm a lot more efficient, I think. I'm not sure which is better!

I love them! Both t-shirt and skirt are so pretty :) Nice detail and enjoying reading your proses. Have a lovely weekend, Lisa :)

Thank you Kathrin! This outfit is more of a 'silhouette' that feels more like 'me' too. :)

Oh, I like the way you put that... 'interesting without being wild'! Thank you so much SaSa! :)

Welcome back Kathy!! Yes, the knit casing does reduce bulk.... and also this skirt's pattern is not so wide where there are a lot of elastic gathers, and that is nice too. Look forward to seeing you start sewing again! :)

You know Katharina, I'm glad I didn't have enough fabric too!! Thanks ever so much! :)

Sarah Liz, our administrator for the Make a Garment a Month Challenge, came up with the 'Awesomely Average' phrase and I liked it too! Yay for your culottes! Please post them on IG soon so we can all see the cuteness. Too funny you made them with a contrast fabric for the waist band too! 'Great minds think a like?!' The jersey with the cotton makes an interesting textural contrast too. Thank so much Erin! :)

This skirt really turned out very pretty! You've worked out everything beautifully. The dark hem adds a lot to your skirt's style. I think this outfit is one of my favourites.:-)

Another lovely outfit! The colours suit you s well and the fabric mix makes your skirt more interesting without being wild. Thank you for your photo explanations! :)

A very pretty outfit, Lisa. I like the white knit casing. It sounds like a very comfortable idea and would prevent bulk around the waist. I have had the Kirsten pattern for months and have liked all of yours so I must make it myself. It might just be what I need to get started again. I have stalled since my holiday away.

I'm impressed with your photography skills, great job Lisa! Also great job on that Outfit, the skirt looks great and I'm glad you didn't have enough fabric, I really like the fabric mix!

2015-08-25T21:07:42.143-04:00

oh yay! your manual mode photo is way superior! I love the phrase awesomely average! Your choice of grey fits so well with the main fabric, I thought it was the fabric border. It's a sweet skirt and the white Kirsten tee tops it perfectly. I'm wearing my culottes today with a contrast fabric for waist band too! I have not tried sewing jersey to woven fabric, but now that you have, I will definitely keep it in mind.
Have a nice day, Lisa, it looks like summer is still staying around for a while!

Oh, please do post about your apron! I'd love to see what you are making! And thank you so much Mama Pea! You are so, so kind. *blush* :)

Do you even realize what an expert, completely competent seamstress you've become in a short time?! I'm continually awed by your talent and willingness to figure out changes so your garments are more to your own style and preference. Another simply, lovely outfit! (I'll have to get up a lot of nerve to post about the simple apron(!) I'm wanting to make!)
