"Share in Style" ~ Black and White

I made this dress awhile back and for some reason I had never blogged about it.

I thought it would be the perfect garment to share for this "Share in Style".
The wool scarf is a RTW and I just love the fabric design!

I used a Ponte de Roma knit fabric and the weight is perfect for our winter weather!

Share in Style ~ Shoes

My project for this Share in Style is truly a very simple, not elegant in any way, but an outfit that is so very much required
 these days :)

I found this fun, bright, colourful
 "flip flop/ flower" print ~ in  flannel ~ my favourite,

 and thought It would be perfect for pj's.

The pants and sleeves are a heavy fleece.... so comfortable!!
A perfect weight for this cooler weather that we've been getting
and  I know I will appreciate the warmth of this fabric on cold winter days.

I used McCall's 6250 for the top and Butterick 5571 for the bottoms.

Bradley had to match too!

"Share in Style" ~ Halloween

Spider web skirt and shawl for the Share~in~Style - Halloween!!

I used New Look 6843 View A for the skirt.

A very easy pattern with great results.

For the waist finish I made a facing instead of a waist band and inserted an invisible zipper.

The shawl is lace ~ with a spider and web design like the skirt fabric.

A fun outfit to put together for the Share~in~Style!

It is Not every day you get to wear a flashing necklace and a mask :)

Have a fun Halloween!

Share in Style - "Favourite Print"

This "Share in Style" I am Rosy's partner!

Rosy asked me a couple of months ago to be her partner for one

of the up coming "Share in Styles". I said yes of course, but I was a little (ok~ a lot)nervous!!    Being Rosy's partner?...I mean this is Rosy....I've been reading Rosy's blog for quite some time and  she absolutely amazes me!!

Her garments are so stylish and she always uses such pretty fabrics.And of course the beautiful pictures she posts!!!

She does not disappoint in this Share in Style.

Her outfit is, as always, stylish and beautiful!! I absolutely love the colour  and print she chose.

It was a challenge deciding what print was my favourite. Not as easy as it sounds. I love so many prints ~ but truly my  favourite fabrics(prints) are boucles...is that considered a print?

Well I figure it is...and a boucle in sweater knit!!...that is awesome and so warm and so cosy. Especially this time of year.

I used Vogue 8817, Katherine Tilton pattern.It is such a great pattern and there are so many possibilities.



I used Sarah Veblen's neckline binding method.

My favourite....

because this method works ~ every time!!

I made the top with 4 knit fabrics ~

I love combining prints together and I also try to choose

prints that are textured.

 a boucle sweater weight knit,

a floral textured knit,

a black pebbly textured mesh knit (kind of rubber feeling pebbles)

and a plain gray sweater knit ~ which is layered under the black pebble knit.

These fabrics are somewhat heavier than the pattern description suggests however I love the end result.

This top is  so very comfortable!

I also like the high/low hem design. (I did shorten the top by 5")

I look forward to making more tops with this pattern!!

Have a great day!
