Sewing On and On

Vogue Fabric!

My dad lovingly copied my Vogue 884 envelope for me. :-) Awesome dorm deco.
This is 4 yards of silk at $3 a yard.

Four yards of awesome pink cotton.

2 1/2 yards wool tweed. I have some synthetic print which is really cool, but I already sewed it up and I haven't taken pictures yet.

A... Kilt?

Ah so, this was my last sewing project at home. I'm at school now. My almost 3 year old brother was in need of a kilt. So here it is.

And he's cute to-boot!

Ok so it put the pictures in reverse order... Oh well. Above are the CDs I listened to while puzzling out which fabric and pattern to use without needing to go buy more supplies... Maybe an hour spent on that. :-/ The top and most interesting is Matthew Sweet "Altered Beast".
The superfluous buttons and shoulder buttons shown here with the fabric.

I "interlined" it with some sheer polka dotted fabric that's been floating about my sewing cell.

The front without the yoke. I didn't make much progress before I had to take Ingrid the 10 month old. She doesn't like sewing.

The free pattern. Someone had cut the tissue itself to make the sides straighter so I attempted to remedy that. We'll so how that works. There were two identical sleeve pattern pieces included. I'm making the sleeveless version. (To show off my biceps?)
