I made M6608 in a lovely rusty red tencel I bought from Smuggler's Daughter
I'm wearing it with a pretty ruffly linen blouse from Orvis
Then, because I have houseguests...here we are at brunch this morning...
and didn't want to change clothes so many times, I hung my recent acquisitions on the fence...
From the left, a linen plaid from who knows where in Louise Cutting's
"Relax a Little", a polka-dot knit, also from the stash, in Sewing Workshop's
"West End", then a RTW ombre sundress by Luna Luz.
Then, a reversible georgette skirt from Orvis, a linen bias skirt from eBay, another Luna Luz skirt, and a black linen button-down skirt, also from Orvis.
I think that's enough for now!
My local sewing friend, Robyn, loaned me two dress patterns last week, and is trying to talk me into sewing a couple of dresses...
I start with a physical trainer tomorrow, who will provide me with some exercises not requiring a left foot...and see the doctor on Tuesday with the possibility of wearing running shoes with my new orthotics on a part-time
basis. Yay!
Check out Visible Monday, where the ever-gracious Patti provides us with an
opportunity to be VERY visible...

Good luck w your physical therapy, Margy. Your new red skirt is lovely; thanks for sharing your look with Vis Monday!
ReplyDeleteAnd great with those shoes.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are very well skirted now! Love the ones you made, as well as your purchases. I see you've figured out that wearing a heel on the other foot helps balance your body as you amble around in your boot. (Been there, done that!) Very cute red shoes. As always, it's great to see your smiling face!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy sewing and shopping! I hope that you decide you enjoy wearing skirts, because you look great in them!
ReplyDeleteSkirts to the rescue! I hope the physical therapy helps you give the boot The Boot soon, but you look fabulous in your red skirt.
ReplyDeleteProbably tough for a pants gal to transition to skirts. Maybe you will enjoy it? HHope the healing continues well and quickly!!
ReplyDeleteFrom a fellow pants girl - I'll be watching your journey with interest to see how you adjsut to wearing these lovely skirts :)
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see your review at PR and you wearing a skirt! You look marvelous in the skirt even with your boot! Hope your recovery continues to go well.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly know how to make lemonade out of lemons! It's nice to see you in skirts even if you're wearing an orthopedic boot on one leg :) Lovely skirts!
ReplyDeleteYes you have been busy and the skirts are pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your new skirt additions and if you make dresses I don't know what I'll do! Good luck with the physical therapy!
ReplyDeleteGlad things are coming along for you! Working with a trainer will help you get along until you can get that left foot into PT :) Love your skirts - the perfect solution to your boot :)
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously coveting that brilliant Luna Luz ombre dress! MUST look up that brand as I've not seen it over here!
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I love you in the red tencel! And the Luna Luz pieces are beautiful. You make Orvis look good, which is an impossibility for me. I bet they see their sales spike! LOL.
ReplyDeleteHi, love your red skirt and blog in general! Am doing research for a sewing machine upgrade and was wondering what you use and/or would recommend? Hope your foot is healing well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lois. My sewing machines are a Bernina 430 and a Brother ? for backup. I have a BabyLock Eclipse DX 4 Thread Serger. I'm happy with them all. I would love a Coverstitch machine, but I'm not sure which one I will wind up buying.
ReplyDeleteGlad your skirts are working out for you. You look pretty grand in them just because of your elegant persona! Frankly, I'm surprised you haven't gone completely palazzo-pants with your skills, and made a chic boot cover or two! Hope you're healing up apace, and that you're enjoying the summer anyway!
ReplyDeleteNothing is going to slow you down! What a lovely grouping of skirts. PT isn't fun but sure does speed up the recovery process. I too was surprised at the great Orvis blouse. Who knew....Orvis?
ReplyDeleteYour sunglasses are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Margy-you look so cute in skirts. I'm glad you hung the rest of the lineup on the fence so you could minimize changing-a woman who knows the value of each step taken! Be sure to do everything the PT says (shaking my finger at you with a smile).

ReplyDeleteLove the read skirt. It hangs so nicely and the length is very flattering. I'll have to take a second look at that pattern. I'm interested in learning about Louise Cutting's waist band technique. Is it from one of her videos?
ReplyDeleteGet Well!
i love your style and look forward to seeing what you will make next
