Next Up: Black is the New Black


Yes, no longer will I be sewing grey fabric, stylish and dull and work appropriate though it is. My next two projects will be black.

This is my first go at sewing a full outfit. Whether the two actually go together remains to be seen. However, I do need a black blouse in my wardrobe.

The blouse is BWOF 05/2006 124, a blouse with gathered section seams. I'll be using a black polyester from my favourite local fabric shop.

The trousers are BWOF 08/2008 105, Marlene Dietrich men'style trousers, with wide legs and a welt pocket in the back. They also have turn-ups but I'm going to leave those off for a smarter look. I'll be using a wool from the same fabric shop as as above.

Wow, I'm really going to have to sew something colourful soon. I'm off to do some tracing.
