The tunic will be made from the red/white circle print - it's a lightweight rayon. The plackets on the front, sleeve and hem will be made from the matching red. The red fabric, which I believe is cotton, was purchased at the latest sewing garage sale. The red/white circle print was purchased last year from a neighborhood fabric store that was sadly closing. I noticed when pressing the red/white print that one side of the print has quite a few misprints in the red circles, so I will need to cut out the tunic single layer to avoid the flaws. Sadly, this will mean alot of fabric wasted in the process.
Not sure if I will use the large rick rack yet as a trim on the tunic, but we'll see what happens.
As for the pants, I have been wanting to try the Megan Nielson Flint pants and The Sewing Workshop Urban T-shirt pants. I have enough of the white linen that I could sew up both pairs. Well see if time permits!
Happy sewing everyone!

Great! That is always good to hear before you start a project!
DeleteI love these fabrics! If you want to use the ric-rac, perhaps at the neckline? Can't wait to see this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lovenicky. Yes, I would use the rick rack at the neckline somehow.
