I had a lovely bit of 2-sided stretch denim leftover in my stash and...

even though it did mean making all flat-felled seams.
Note the rolled up cuffs? That's the reverse side showing.

Rushing on over to Patti and the Visibles of Not Dead Yet Style, Catherine's I Will Wear What I Like. Darn tootin' on both counts. And Cherie's Shoe & Tell. Hope to see you there.
You have the ability to divine what should be and what can be made of patterns that I did not bother to give the time of day. Partly it's fabric choices (ooh la la denim) but mostly it's your superpower.
ReplyDeleteThe Cups style Trippen worry me. Leather on the bottom? Water? Mud? Their new website removed the 'save to favorites' option, and no amount of to and fro by email with their customer service seems to change that back. They have made my daydreaming that much harder.
But you have not. Thanks sweetie
Sometimes yes, sometimes not so much to nada (see previous post).
DeleteWater? Mud?!! Never shall my Trippens behold such things. They are strictly fair weather soles, my friend. I have Doc Martens for all foul behaving days.
Wow. You knocked this one outta da park!
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you very much, LindaW. Glad you like 'em.
DeleteThis outfit just sings. Every detail hits the right note. I love this riot of flowers! As SJK notes, you do have a super power for taking pattern and cloth and turning it into art!
ReplyDeleteAnd Helen, you say the kindest things in the most poetic of ways. geez, I'm gonna smile all day.
DeleteYou should be teaching a graduate class, Pattern Mixing 101. Brilliant. XO
ReplyDeleteHigh praise from the Dr. of Layering and Mixology. I learn from the best.
DeleteExcellent pattern mixing Pao! You are a glorious garden.
ReplyDeleteIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby, that's me!
DeleteI'm terribly late but have to comment on how awesome this outfit is!! Yes, LOVE LOVE LOVE. You are a walking garden. And you made it all. Sigh. You are so good at tracking down excellent shoes.
ReplyDeleteHey Melanie! It's you, it's true! and yes, my shoes are cool, just like you, too. yeah.
DeleteSuch an insta-worthy shot! A patternmaking picture of perfection.
