I had made and dyed these pants before the cruise. I had laid off making the shirt because I was trying to get ready for the cruise. The fabric is a beautiful Asian Toille in Robin’s Egg blue with a brown background. I love this shirt. It’s a smaller version of my gathered nursing shirt. I put banded cuffs on the sleeves and kept the elastic in the bottom.

I decided to try dying a pair of pants in this variegated style. Jordan had a pair like this before and I loved them.
I got the dye to match perfectly with the shirt. That’s a OOAK pair of pants. I know I will get close the next time. But these are perfect. I just think the pair looks so cute together. A very relaxed style.
As for my model. I told her to go crazy and do a different pose. This is what she gave me. Very creative if you ask me. But of course I am biased.
I joined a couple of Etsy Groups hoping to get my name out there more, CafeMoms and Breastfeeding. I thought those two would be good since I am doing nursing shirts, mama and kids clothing. My next project is going to be laptop bags and a special project for my Day of the Dead Swap spoilee!!!! I am still in the design stage but I almost have everything worked out in my head. I am going to try to put it to paper and maybe fabric tomorrow. I am so excited. If it turns out it will be a cool thing. Wow, I almost spoiled it there, just in case she’s reading this.

Good luck on your adventures! Great sewing. I just opened my brand new Singer, in fact my Aunt was over this past weekend to show me the basics. Anything I’ve sewed before has been by hand.
