New Summer Separates: Geometric Print Shirt + Linen Shorts!



Isn't that the coolest print shirting you've ever seen?

Readers, you can see me modeling my new summer outfit right this very minute by simply clicking here!

Wait -- perhaps you didn't even know there was a new summer outfit in the works.  That, I suspect, is because you don't follow me on Instagram.   These days, that's the best place to find the most up-to-date info on my sewing projects.   It's so much faster to post there than to craft a blog post.

An interesting factoid about my shirting fabric: I bought it for a client (whom you'll be meeting soon) and loved it so much I picked up more for myself.  The two projects I made from it are different in style but it's cool to see more than one thing made up in a particular fabric, don't you think?

Inside yoke and collar stand lined in Liberty of London remnant.

I practically live in clothes like these during the summer: casual enough to be comfortable but sufficiently put-together so that I can wear them to, say, my new patternmaking class at FIT (which started earlier today).  Yes, I impulsively decided to continue my studies this summer, and am taking a second-level intensive flat patternmaking class that meets three days a week for the next five weeks (much like my draping class).  Much more about that in the days and weeks ahead.

And what did I wear to class this morning?  This very outfit!

(Who doesn't like new school clothes?)

Have a great day, everybody!

  4. Peter, you pensive scamp (second picture at Mood - and I luv your jewelry, and I'm not a jewelry guy), the shirt and shorts are "better than Bloomingdales" quality.

    Can NOT wait to meet Susan-2! I can't be the only one to have trouble getting over the brief time Susan graced us with her direct charm.

    A new class at FIT! Please Reader's Digest us on the doings (we don't need a long blog post).

  6. What an awesome idea to use the reverse side of fabric! Sometimes I've found beautiful prints but the intense colors and can ruin the print. Great post..thanks!
