Simplicity 2474 and Magic Pencil Modeled

Here I am after work, wearing my new top and skirt.

Note to self: Stand away from the lamp so it doesn't
look like a tumor growing out of my hip.

But I actually kept this black cardi on most of the day as the office runs cool.


The top definitely passed the wearability test and with just using 28" of fabric plus 1/2 pack of binding, I can see a few more of these in my future. Even from Joann's Polly & Esther collection. ;-)

  9. You're looking good girl-very professionally turned out in your cardi suit. Love the Polly and Esther remark. I made a muslin of a tank out of some of the nastiest stuff that ever lived meaning to toss it yet have worn it to death as a layering piece. Biggest reason is it doesn't wrinkle and is indestructible in the wash and the colors are forever the same. In fact I want to hunt some more Polly and Esther prints for winter wear.

  13. Great combo! As for Polly and Esther, it is really a shame that Joann's is almost the only go to fabric store in the Tampa Bay area.

  17. I like the way the purple skirt brought out the purple accents in the top. Great outfit! I have the magic skirt pattern, and I need to try it out.

  18. I have been reading your blog for years (long time reader, first time commenter) and, woman, I gotta say... your new life must really agree with you. You look happy, gorgeous and chic lately. I didn't add "smart" cuz we all already know you're witty, resourceful AND intelligent.

    Good for you!
