Weeeeell, I think its safe to say that I’ve been pretty productive during this pandemic/time at home. I have now finished another pair of Dawn jeans (my fourth pair!), and another Adrienne blouse (also my fourth!).
Even though this is my fourth version of this knit top, it is my first time using a woven for the sleeves. The color of this embroidered cotton matched perfectly with the coordinating knit, so it was a perfect opportunity! I also created this look with the sleeves by simply creating the elastic casing a couple inches above the hem, using bias tape, instead of the casing right at the hem. I love how extra poofy it makes them! And of course, I used the leftover of the embroidered cotton to make this cute little top for P. It’s made the same way a basic elastic skirt is made - two rectangles sewn at the side seams, and an elastic casing along the top edge. I just simply added some tie straps to make t a top instead of a skirt!
Now, these jeans. Do they look a little tight? Because they’re a little tight, ha. My other three pairs were also tight to start, but broke in eventually after a few wears. So hopefully the same happens here. But these are a fun denim! Its not actually a white, even if it appears to be in the photos. Its more of a really really really bleached blue. Barely blue/grey-ish tint. It’s something different , and I love it. I stuck with the gold topstitching and hardware for contrast (although I haven’t added rivets yet. or even ordered them yet, whoops).
P.S for anyone that might be wondering - We take these photos in a spot close to our house where its quiet and there are no other people. If we expect to pass by or even see other people when we are outside, we wear our masks.
