I am wearing a close fitting vest in a floral gabardine. Underneath I have a white barkcloth shirt that looks fetchingly rumpled. I didn't make that. I did make the pants (black cord Helen's Closet Falconers). Behind me is a shirt I also made for Eddie, S8753 which is in a brushed cotton twill.

I am wearing a button down dress in dusty blue with yellow chrysanthemums and purple and teal leaves all over it. It has a grown on tie at the waist and sleeves which are nearly elbow length and have plackets.

I am wearing an a-line skirt in a lemon-lime green poplin check. It has wide belt loops and a tie at the waist, and green buttons down the front. It's pretty well pattern matched over the button placket.

Or, do I wear my #truebiasquinn vest with this thrifted big white barkcloth shirt? Or my #itchtostitchladera dress? Or this #mccallspatterns7906 poplin skirt?
Decisions, decisions. I brought too many clothes! If it was doable I'd be tempted to switch between sessions ..........

Finished my skirt. This is #mccallspatterns7906 and I like it a lot. Bit fiddly here and there with the carriers, waistband, pleats, sash etc but the finished product is worth it. Instructions are *sparse* so you need go to techniques. Pattern adds up.
Cotton poplin from Drapers. #garmentsewing 🧵🇳🇿

Ironing board with very bright lime green check poplin on it. It's got markings on where it's been folded into pleats, which are top stitched though it's barely visible. There's also a pattern M7906 which has pleated, full skirts in three lengths

The skirt as described, in the mid length, made from pale pink and purple stripes. It is on me, combined with a navy striped tank top.

On the sewing table is fun BRIGHT poplin proper make of this skirt. I love my toile, it's super comfortable and was easy to make, so I'm excited for this. The fabric is really structured, almost reminds me of ripstop?? Should make the pleats crispy and yum. 🧵🇳🇿 #mccallspatterns7906
