I used S2917 which I have made once before. I love it. It's a great summer skirt. I've already worn it twice, once on the 4th and once to work. I see this skirt getting a workout this summer!
So I am moving on......I just couldn't decide what to make though. I have been going through all my top patterns and associated fabrics and decided to try NL6895:
It seems like a really simple top with a little added interest in the front gathers. I hope it's not too baggy, but if it is, it looks easy enough to taper a little. I am doing the high neck version with the short sleeves from View C.
I decided to try a fabric I have never worked with before, charmeuse. I bought this fabric from Denver Fabrics and the print is a little large, but I thought it would make a good muslin for this top. If it looks good fine, if not that's fine too.
I did read on someone's blog (sorry, can't remember who's) that when working with charmeuse it is best to starch it. So I did, it helps a little but is slipperier than a Chicago politician! Will see how it works out!
