This time I was working with my rose colored stash fabrics. I had to purchase a few more, since the ones I had didn't all work together. What I've come up with doesn't really follow the "rule of three" because I don't have three coordinating colors, and there aren't enough skirts and pants. I'll figure that out later. My season is "Summer" and yellow-greens and golds don't really flatter me. I'd like to introduce some blue in here somehow.

Key Garment: Skirt
|
 |
Rose poly/rayon "Linen" purchased from Hancock Fabrics 7/3/03: This pattern is done, and the fabric is cut. I decided on an elastic waist, yoked, gore skirt about 28" long.
7/20/03: Done! Just finished the hem (by hand, no less!) I'll get a picture soon. |
|
Coordinate 1: Jacket
|
|
Sheer crushed polyester purchased from Hancock Fabrics. Finished 6/18/03. Check out the specifics here in the Project Gallery. |

Stretch Twill purchased on eBay last year I've gotten suggestions for this from Patternreview's message board regulars. Exciting stuff:
I just can't decide! One day it's definitely a skirt. Tomorrow it'll be a sheath. Ughh. |

1b: Jacket |
 |
Watermelon stretch poplin purchased from Fabric Club dot Com last year. |

Update 6/22/03: All done! Love it! Have a closer look in the Project Gallery. |

2a: Pants
|
|
Dusty Rose poly/rayon "Linen" purchased from Hancock Fabrics. This will be a (hopefully) wearable muslin of my PMB slacks. Update 5/30/03: These are done, all but the hem and the waistline hook. Check them out in the Project Gallery. |
|
2b: Linen Top
|
 |
Hmm. There's no fabric here, just a colored cell. Perhaps a white garment like linen pants or skirt. 6/21/03: Update! My friend gave me most of the contents of her stash not long ago. In the haul was a smallish piece of white linen. Pretend the white square at left is it! I have a top cut out. It's very similar to a Vogue Adri top that I have long admired. Mine won't be exactly the same, but similar! 6/29/03: Mine's all done. Have a look. |
| Coordinate 3: Camisole or Tank |
|
Polyester/lycra onion skin purchased from Hancock Fabrics. Coordinates with rose linen and green crushed polyester. |
|

Cotton Interlock found on eBay last year. Coordinates with rose linen. 7/20/03: This is about 90% done. I got sidetracked finishing the skirt. This won't go with it, though, because of the style--too many horizontal lines! Here's a sketch:

3b: Top

 |
Basketweave cotton purchased from Hancock Fabrics. Coordinates with rose linen |
|
Bonus: Pants

This is a rose plaid that I had already. I don't know how it got left out of this plan. It's an eBay find from last year. The pants are finished 6/28/03 and are the best fitting PMB pants thus far! |
