A Shirt-blouse

The plan was to sew this blouse. But, as usual, I did not have enough fabric. So, another option was the blouse that I made two years ago. ( Burda-9-2007) The pattern is basic, easy to sew, and I think trendy this year again.

Then I used satin and I haven't made any change.

This time I used georgette.

I made some modifications to the sleeves. Elastic at the wrists-Burda propose, was not a good solution for me. In this version I used elastic thread - 5 lines-I think this is much better.

No, I will not sew this blouse again.

Two times was enough for this pattern.

Since earrings are my passion, I made a matching pair. They look much better at the day light.

Just for the record: I have a "real" jewelry but I wear only bijouterie and jewelry I made. Don't know why.

Half-circle skirt

The half-circle skirt is one of the easiest skirts.

My grandmother taught me how to make it...Almost 30 years ago.

However, useful information can be found here.

I decided to sew it when I found the fabric with the printed circle.

On the edge of the skirt, I added a gold lace.

That laces, my mother has bought 35 years ago in Bulgaria, where we spent happy summer holidays. All these years I was searching for perfect place for it. I think I finally found it.

Of course, I bought suitable sandals. :)

And finally....I made a pair of matching earrings.

Now, I am ready. :)
