Vogue 8772 (V8772) Sleeveless shirt OOP Simplicity 6984 shorts
Happy (?) accident, trying to sew up stash - Tried and True shorts (OOP Simplicity 6984) lengthened to almost skirt length with sleeveless shirt version from Vogue 6772.
Oxford cotton shirting from fabric mart -- not sure I would ever actually wear these together, but it was fun. Chuffed by how the stripes match up between the two pieces, though totally unplanned.
New thread for me - and I really liked it - Prevencia Hilaturas 60 wt... expensive, but lovely stitched up.
For shirt, basic men's white shell shirt buttons and lightweight crisp shirt fusible interfacing from Fashion Sewing Supply. Flat felled shoulder and side seams, narrow hem hem. Made one size larger than usual, but only had to tweak a little at shoulder for rounded back adjustment. Next time I make it, I think I will skip the tweak and take it in a little on the side seams, but this is perfect for summer. Already really liking and wearing this shirt.
For shorts, added slash front pockets, Hug Snug seam binding for seam finishes and hem. Shirt crisp fusible interfacing for waistband and white button from LaMode - nothing fancy, picked up at Joann's but could have purchased at Buttons.com. Clear inside button and nylon coil 7" zipper from Wawak.
