Todays picture of the day is a compilation of pics from last week. Sorry for anyone following me on Instagram & Facebook for the spam – this project took forever and I’m shouting from the rooftops now that I’m done and have worn it all! 😅
My Summer 2023 Me-Made Holiday Capsule
1: Teahouse Dress by SewHouse Seven in a soft medium-weight linen. This dress slips right over the head and has pockets big enough for my phone. An instant classic.
2: 1890s Big Sky Riding Skirt (secret pants!) by Folkwear Patterns in a rougher mid-weight linen + a self-drafted tie shoulder tank in a drapey cotton blend. The pants fulfill all my teenage JNCO-loving historical-goth fantasies and the tank worked surprisingly well for not knowing what I was doing.
3: My 3rd bifurcated garment ever, first zip fly and first pair of self-drafted shorts. And they’re actually comfortable. The top can go straight to hell. 40+ hours of hand-shirring and I need to do some major shoring up of the top hem before this is ready to attempt to wear again. A wardrobe malfunction threatening to happen at any second. The shorts are in a super nice Italian cotton pants material and the top is a cotton check.
4: The Coquelicot Skirt by Wildflower Designs in a medium weight marl linen + my first ever stab at self-drafting a princess seam top. I’ve been seeing these super cute structured crop tops everywhere on Pinterest lately and attempted to recreate the design with what I had on hand. Worked surprisingly well with this beautiful tone-on-tone embroidered cotton I impulse bought a few months ago.
5: And last but not least, a self-drafted circle dress in thick cotton. This dress was a bear with miles of ripped and re-done seams. But it was comfy.
