Wearing my first make of the
Tina Givens Lotus pattern sewn from cotton jersey. I hand-stitched it with multi-colored thread that goes through the color wheel of primary and secondary colors. Maybe you can see it better here...

But first, let's link up with Catherine's
I Will Wear What I Like, for some Christmas cheer!
Lovely holiday outfit. And, seeing those boots was just the nicest gift, they are so delightfully cool for Yule!

Hi Helen, Those heels are just a wee bit too high for me. But they work fine for special occasions like this.
DeleteVery stylish, Ms Christmas Tree! And the footwear...perfect. Hope you and yours had a Very Merry!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louisa. I already know you guys had a delightful time solstice-ing.
DeleteYou are a vision in your Lotus pattern, although you make a fantastic tree. The bike light as a hair piece is genius! Hahaha. And the elf boots, I didn't know such awesomeness existed. Happy Holidays to you and True Love! XO
ReplyDeleteYeah well, True Love made me give his bike light back immediately after the photo-ing. Like I'm not using it for it's divine purpose...
DeleteI love the color of that coat. And the shoes? Forget it! Happy Christmas and New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you Rosa, during which Evergreen is the way to go.
DeleteLove this so much! Would you share your tinkering with this pattern? It looks like the front side darts were taken all the way to the shoulder and that the center back dart and pleat were connected? I love the shaping that I see! Happy New Year from Madison!
ReplyDeletehmm, tinkering...I've made at least four of these Lotus dusters and I think I change each according to the fabric used. With this cotton jersey, it kept stretching and stretching, so I probably kept right on going with the darts in the pattern. Taking them up and over the shoulder on both sides in the front and combining the center back one into a pleat. As you can see, the sleeves got so long, I've had to roll them up. I've had multiple closures on this one. Currently it's just the tie out of self fabric. So Bex, do you have a blog I can see?
DeleteHow lovely that someone would think I'd have a blog...sorry, no. I sure love visiting yours and those you recommend, though. After a too-long break, I'm gearing up to sew for myself again. Your fabulousness is an inspiration!
DeleteLet me know when you get it going, Becca. And have fun!
DeleteEGADS - another pair of awesome shoes from Ebay! How do you do it?
ReplyDeleteYou make a very stylish tree ;)
Thanks about the tree comment...it's good since we don't indulge in that custom. Ebay shoes are another thing altogether.
DeleteWow!! Love your style, and verve. Nice finds! xo
