So here it is: My finished contest entry. Safari style extravaganza! If you're a PatternReview.com member, you can vote for your favorite mini wardrobe. Check out all the entries. So many people have done such a fantastic job. It was a real pleasure to chat with them on the message board for the whole trip.
The tank top is a modified Kwik Sew 2517. It would have to be -- that pattern is actually a dress. I've made this tank top lots of times and I really love it. For this one, I used the original armhole curve, but I've also modified the pattern to make a racerback tank top as well.
The pants are Jalie 2908 stretch jeans. For these, I added expanding cargo pockets to the back and thighs and narrowed the pants legs so they'll fit smoothly into my boots. I love these pants. I wore them all day yesterday and they are oh-so-comfy.
The button down shirt is Jalie 2322 done in a stretch linen. Also a comfortable fabric. I wish I'd bought more than just enough for one shirt.
And the vest is Butterick 5616 made in the same stretch sateen as the pants. With extra pockets.
I am really loving all of these outfits. Different shoes give a whole different look to them, too.
Pleased you managed to finish on time. It's a great wardrobe, I like the colours too. There is a lot of work in those pieces, you did really well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Louise. I like it better than I thought I would. And the pants and button down shirt turned out so much more comfortable than I expected.
