We haven't forgotten!

Mom and I (Hannah) have completed one more piece each for our summer wardrobes. 



Look at these! They're made from a 1930's pajama pattern (yes, an 80 year old pattern). Isn't that awesome? Mom made them out of white linen and a vintage hanky-print cotton. Although their supposed to be pj's, mom and I agree that they would be a pain to sleep in, so she's gonna wear them outside of the house. Here they are without the Jacket...



And a detail of the buttons, ties and fabric...


Well done Mom, they're beautiful!




And here's my piece. Yes, another blouse. I'm desperately trying to finish a pair of shorts but I keep running into issues. I promise you'll see something other than shirts eventually! haha. Anyway, this one's made with a New Look pattern and some really cool fabric I found on sale....at another fabric store (I know, I'm a traitor).



A detail of the fabric and mother-of-pearl buttons I used. This little number actually turned out to be a challenge. I thought it was gonna be easy and that I could whiz right through it, however, that did not turn out to be the case. In the end though, it was worth it. I think it's really cute. 



More clothes coming soon! Leave comments, tell us what you think of our wardrobes so far!

I am SO impressed. They are wonderful! I need to rent a sewing machine here in Kauai to fix the seams of our cushions - not nearly so creative or rewarding.

Gorgeous outfits, both fabulous but the two piece sewn from the pj pattern is just devine!!!
