Sham's Post for details and pictures), then I spent almost a full week doing a major clean "out and up" of my studio and then had a wonderful weekend visit from DD Maggie...we celebrated her May Birthday, Mothers' Day and my June Birthday all at once. FUN! And... she got behind the camera to do a photoshoot on all my new clothes, both sewn and RTW. It's so much more fun to do that with someone, rather than using a remote control! After we finished on Sunday late morning, we went out for a lovely leisurely brunch at Petros' in Los Olivos...
On to the clothes...
I made this top and these pants for my trip to Oregon...
The fabrics are both from Girl Charlee, a black, red and gray sweater knit, and a gray stretch denim. And to go with them, I made this wonderful red raincoat
V 9070 in a juicy red rainwear with a little metallic thread in it, both fabric and pattern from Marcy Tilton.
Of course, we had wonderful sunny weather in Oregon, but the coat is fun to wear anyway.
Also, before I left, I made these wide-legged pants in a silky crepe (black and white, of course!) I can't remember which pattern I used, but they are very cool and comfortable.
and this one, with sleeves...
found these lightweight rayon pants:
and this breezy Chico's top, bought with my now-canceled Indian trip in mind...
TTYL...
P.S....I'm heading over to the "Hat Attack" at the lovely Judith's Style Crone blog...come see all of us in our head gear!
