Seamstress Vicki strikes again! No blood and no broken needles. I think that’s a record. These are the first adult pants and top I’ve made.
The pants zip on the left side of the waist. They fit at the waist but are roomy throughout the rest of the length. I can probably take them in. My first alteration job as well…
I’m really pleased with the top. It is cinched or whatever at the waist with a cord. I still have to cut the cord to length. Haven’t figured out what that length should be yet.
All that’s left is the jacket! If you’re not sure what I’m talking about then read this post.
Overall this outfit could have been sewn in one day. Actually just one evening. Continuous interruptions last night and forcing myself to go to bed at a decent hour means that I had to leave the cuffs of the pant legs until tonight. I really am surprised at how quickly it all came together. I’m sure it helped sewing with normal fabric and not paper-thin slinky stuff.
Wow- that outfit is awesome! I love the style of the pants! Very much summer!
I just read your comment about the laundry. I am still laughing!!!

I love the shirt!! Awesome! I can barely sew a button, so I definitely admire your abilities with the needle!
Cute! I love the top!
Are you applying for the next Project Runway???? ‘Cause you should.
Looks great! Sewing is one of those things that I’ve always wanted to learn, but never have…. maybe one day!
Love the pants. I like the way the top’s straps look.
I am oh so impressed! I need a personal seamstress LOL! I can’t believe how difficult it is to find clothes to fit my “post 6 childbirths” body.
Blessings,

Very cute! I really like the print and colors of the fabric you chose for your top. I’m impressed, especially because I’ve never learned how to sew.
Congrats on your article in the Sampler @ 5MFM! 🙂
