Readers, my last Mood outfit of the summer is complete!
Click here to see it.
I know what you're thinking: wasn't that beige cardigan intended for Michael? Yes, it was. But is it wrong to share your clothes with a similarly-sized loved one? I think not!
If the pink fabric I made the pants from looks familiar, it should -- it's the same cotton canvas I used for Susan's pencil skirt. (I even used a remnant of the blouse for my pockets. Waste not, want not, I always say.)
I don't always remember to thank Michael for taking all my photos, but I do want to acknowledge his tremendous contributions over the years (for Cathy too). I am tremendously fortunate to have someone around who's willing to pick up a camera at a moment's notice (or nearly). Without him, it would be an endless stream of Instagram selfies.
I'm really love the beige cardigan (which is basically identical to the blue one I made last year) and I'm quite smitten with the pink pants as well. In case you're wondering, I was inspired by these (below), from Steven Alan, both for the fit and the fabric.
You're lucky to have Michael to help you out. My husband looks so pained when I ask him to take a picture that I've moved on to the self-timer. So great to see a preppy-inspired outfit that fits!
I think this is the most impressive outfit you have made in a while. I really love the white shirt. And you drafted a pair of pants! Be proud. Those aren't just clothes. That's fashion.

I used to see you as the Hughes Rudd of sewing, but with that flesh and physique in focus, you have me rethinking (pauses to audibly catch his breath - then on the exhale), EVERYTHING!
oh, I LOVE this look! The new hat is fantastic, pants fit great, the white sleeveless shirt is quite va-voom and the bit of stubble gives just the right bit of rough edge.
This ensemble looks amazing on you. Such fine fit, workmanship and style. The fit of the pants is spot on. Great work Peter and thanks to Michael for the photos! Cynthia
I'm a native New Yorker and sewing fanatic! I started sewing in 2009 and today make all my own clothes using vintage sewing machines and vintage patterns, in addition to sewing for private clients. Welcome to the warm and whimsical world of Male Pattern Boldness, where the conversation is sewing, style, fashion, fabric, and more!
Wow, those pants look great on you! As well as the cardigan!! Enjoy your vacation

Thank you.
Love the pants.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo shoot (good job, Michael - hope you get to wear the cardi sometime).
Cape Cod? Lucky you - it's one of the places I'd like to visit some day.
Spud.
