Still Not Sewing Trio

Back to the vault for the Sewing Workshop Trio Pattern I made last Fall.  Just the thing to wear in our 40 degree May weather.


~ I wore this to Jury Duty Thursday ~

Do you think that's why I wasn't chosen?  Nah, I was only on stand-by anyway.   Sitting there for 6 hours reading a book, plus the commute on the el to and from downtown, left me really wiped out.  You know, from the ole sewing injury.  I slept for a day and a half afterwards.  True story.

~ see, I'm even yawning here ~

Anyway, the Trio pattern consists of a t-shirt, cargo pants with huge zippered pockets and a cropped top.  Of course, I modified each piece.  What I really like are all the fabrics.  The pants are a burned out corduroy print.  The top is a woven red-green.  And the t is a thin abstract stretch knit.


~ a "pin" I made long ago ~
From a bit of fabric almost the same as my top, a tarnished penny, a paper umbrella - the kind that's served with drinks, sea glass...

And the usual finale:

~ my good ole doc martens  ~

Nothing's stopping me from bopping on over to Patti and the Visibles at Not Dead Yet Style.  Then Catherine's I Will Wear What I Like and Cherie's Shoe and Tell when they all go live.  See you there.

  1. I know - it's the sitting around involved in jury duty that's the crusher. I've finished a few novels that way. These are fab funky pieces in your signature fabrics: personality and color and texture, looking good. xox

  3. Hope the shoulder mends soon and your civic duty passes without too much trauma. One of my friends is serving on a jury of a horrendous case and its causing a few sleepless nights.
    Gorgeous trousers, wonderful fabric and rocking shoes. xxx

  8. Your shirt reminds me of my eco dyed fabric. I love your umbrella reuse. Haven't been called to jury duty yet. Glad you could sleep.
    Hope the injury is healing slowly.

  10. Sorry you are still suffering - I find sitting around to be more tiring than actively engaged in something. Fab pants!
