Sadly, sewing clothes for myself has dropped down the priority list lately. However, we all know that sewing is essential for mental well-being, so I put Wednesday aside just for me-sewing, picked an easy project, turned the computer off and got started. My plan was to sew up the new Vogue 8655. Go on, click on the link, because I think you could very easily overlook this pattern. It is just a tank top and elastic waist pants. Made up in the wrong fabric, it could look very, very ordinary. In the right fabric, it could look luxe resort.
I was sewing from stash. For the tunic, I chose a silk-rayon blend knit (at least, that's what I think it is). For the pants, I chose a mulberry coloured silk charmeuse. And that's where my plans came unstuck. I didn't have enough fabric for the pants and nothing else in the stash seemed quite right. So this post is not as exciting as I would have liked. Sorry I can't show you pattern complete (and sorry that I can't smile and use the camera timer at the same time). Here, I am wearing the top with my silk-linen pants.

Yes to all of that! Yes to the importance of ME sewing, yes to not being able to get camera timer and smile sychronised (ever) and Yes to a gorgeous top with a beautiful print.
Glad you have found some sewing (me) time. Hope it improves for you soon. Great top!
I too use my sewing time as me time. good for you and I love the top. I like how it flows. Please check out my blog...I'm a newbie :)
Super cute! You are right, I never noticed this pattern. Sorry about the pants, but I think the ones you're wearing with it in the pictures are a good choice too.
Glad to see you're sewing again. That's a terrific outfit.
I like this tunic pattern very much. It has a beautiful neckline and it looks great with your fabric choice.
My mother loves sewing, I always ask her why she love it that much, and now by reading your blog I realize why, you put that it provides you mental well-being, and I think you are right, she always is on a good mood after and during her sewing time.
also dog collars is the best way to get youre dog out.
