Sew Autumn

Yeh! I know it isn't Autumn but it certainly feels like it,wet, windy and COLD! so I raided my stash and found these fabrics, all recently brought at different charity shops within days of each other, I think they are meant to be together, don't you?
So I raided my pattern stash for a tunic type thingy.

Just the ticket! the floral will be for the yoke panel on the front, the main body the check and sleeves and side yolks the green, I was going to use the green as the main, but alas its just not the right shade for my skin tone.

As I was on a roll I thought I would counter balance my haste back into autumn and tempt the summer back with a summer top with this fabric I had left over from this project last year. I just loved the weird jungle flowers and the way some are coloured in and others just outlined.

And the pattern I have chosen is this flirty spaghetti (blitz those bingo wings) strap and it is one of the designs

From this New Look pattern.

Oh if you are a UK pattern buyer and have trouble locating up to date McCall's patterns I get mine from here, quick delivery and cheaper than the UK even with the postage. I must admit it wouldn't cheaper if you only want a couple but if you're anything like me and you cannot stop at just one you should be able to grab yourself a bargain.

So watch this space folks!
