I either have to remove the gray jeans from my Sicily travel wardrobe, or find a shirt fabric that goes with this gray...hmmm.
On to the next project...

NOT Black and White!!!
No, black and GRAY and white...a change!
This is B5526, my current TNT blouse/shirt pattern. It's in a beautiful Japanese shirting cotton from Marcy Tilton from a year or so ago. I added bias details...cuffs, under-collar, front bands
I thought I was making this to go with my favorite gray jeans
but...the colors weren't right when I took the (finished) shirt out in the sunshine...memo to self, don't rely on the lights in the studio, even though they're Ott lights...so, luckily, they go with black jeans.

Beautiful fabric and blouse, it looks great with the black pants.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful and chic top, Margy! (And it's quite a gift to make jeans and a button down shirt look as chic as you do!)
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you, Shams!
DeleteDear Margy,
ReplyDeleteyour blog ist an inspiration for me. I like your style beyond the mainstream. Your new blouse looks great, your choice of fabric always it excellent. You'll find a perfekt pants fabric even for this top.
(I'm not sure whether i found the precise terms in this post)
And, and this is the reason I leave a comment here, your trousers look wonderful. I'll just try to sew some for me, it isn't an easy prozess.
Have a nice week
Mema
Thank you, Mema...good luck on your trousers!
DeleteMargy I love the bias details on this shirt it really breaks up the design. Your top looks lovely with the black pants - another stylish outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pauline!
DeleteLove this on you, it will be great for the trip. The bias parts just adds enough detail to step it up...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judith...I DO love bias!
DeleteWhat a great shirt. The range of shades is very appealing, and the bias use on the cuffs and placket gives a softer look to the geometric print - maybe now you need some new grey trousers in the right shade ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL,Kbenco...guess what I went looking for today?
DeleteAgree, great shirt. The bias is a nice detail.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vicki!
DeleteOnly one question. Did you start sewing in the womb?????
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you have been at it for 65 years. Yikes!!
You look AMAZING!
Hahaha! Thanks, Pat! yes, I've been around a LONG time!
DeleteI agree with the others - another fabulous addition to your wonderful wardrobe of custom pieces. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Martha...isn't it fun!
DeleteBeautiful work I love your style.
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous look! Your plaid shirt is just darling with the jeans and of course you look so good in them both.

Thank you, Karendee!
DeleteYou have the best eye for great fabric and what to do with it - another fabulous look on you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jilly....
DeleteLove the fabulous use of the varying grains in your shirt. Your style really rocks; you look so very chic.
ReplyDeleteThank you, MaryAnn!
DeleteSuper shirt. I can see why this is your favorite TNT shirt pattern. It has a lot of variations. Nice sewing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gwen!
DeleteSo cute and inspiring. I especially love the shirt. Cute blog!!
ReplyDeleteHere you are again, rockin' a pair of jeans. You look just terrific in this outfit, even though (or just because) it's black and gray. Love what you did with the bias on the shirt, and the buttons are perfect. Another super outfit!
