I had a second go at Simplicity 3887, using this thrifted vintage knit fabric. The weight of the knit really got rid of the "tent" effect that my first version had. I also took the sleeves in even more b/c they were too enormous. I made the shorts out of some thrifted jeans that were too long and tapered. They've become part of my daily wardrobe.
*Love* this skirt. This and the vest were pieced out of several remnant lengths of a lightweight chocolate wool tweed from the Mill End Store here in P-town. Slightly different seaming on the front than the orange corduroy. This is the second version; the front is interfaced with fusible interfacing and it's lined. Unfortunately OOP!
Sometimes the simplest way is best.

Zippers are my kryptonite. Grrr. This was my first time sewing in sleeves--the first one had to be ripped out and resewn and gave me a migraine. The second one went much better, though.

Simplicity means to be free of desires and attachments, and supremely happy within.... It entails neither hardship nor deprivation, but the wisdom to work for and be content with what you truly need.

Pattern: Simplicity 2596 (View A)
Fabric is a blend (realized it afterwards) that I got from Taobao website in China. It's mini navy anchors on white.
I bought this pattern a while back as it has the Easy-to-Sew label which is what I needed. I chose the wrong weight interfacing and the neck sort of stood up. Luckily it softens after a wash and here you have it, me being adventurous wearing my own homemade top in the streets of Penang. And of course flip-flops are a must.

The time is flying by before us. We are so much involved in our earn for living that we forgot the smell of soil which is been beaten under our very feet. Now and then, there are times when you realize that all this work, all this effort and all this stress just vanish into the complete sense of bliss.
Last weekend was the time when the urge to free myself took me to adventure into some new places which were always around me but never been noticed seriously. I was amazed for what I experienced and sighted.
Margalla hills, a small subrange of lower Himalayan Mountain range is an amazing place. Apart from the mostly travelled Pir Suhawa & Monal, there are other dimensions to this very serene and calm mountains. This time, there was a touch of adventure as I took the road which was only suitable for the 4x4 Jeeps... The car was beaten and some extra spinning of wheels and burning clutch plates, took me to a brand new point of View...
Above the village of Rimli, behind the Quaid-E-Azam University in Islamabad, there is a pathway going up in the heights to nowhere. Few wander into that isolated place. The condition of road is not good for the saloon cars but wonderful for the Jeeps. A high point up there gives a panoramic view of Shadra Valley on one side and Rimly village beneath along with the vista of twin-city opening up to tens of kilometers before you.
It is sometime fun to burn the rubber to get to the place one envision while wandering in the valleys. That's the simplicity of adventure... No planning, deciding over every turn.

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.

Tunic length made from rayon knit. Blogged girlsinthegarden.blogspot.com/2010/05/simplicity-2369.html
I cut a size 4 top, graded to a size 6 at the waist. This dress is short--I didn't adjust the length at all, and I'm under 5'3". If you're of normal height, I'd recommend cutting at the hemline for view A (the gathered waist version).
Simplicity is...the love of a child. Joshua made this mug for me in art class at school. He was so proud to give it to me. Sometimes I don't feel like a great parent. I see my flaws. But he doesn't see any of it. He tells me he loves me and showers me with compliments on a daily basis.
Pattern is one of my favorites but now out of print. fabric is a nice, soft shirting from the 2.95 pile at G Street Fabrics.

The subject is the basketball and the way I edited it on Lightroom was I made the brown lighter with the reflection of the sun on the basketball so it popped out more and tried to make the water a little darker.
Sewing the collar and getting the amount of gathering needed for this pattern was a bit of a nightmare. Took me 2 hours of sewing-ripping-sewing-ripping.... to get it right. But it was a good learning experience & I'm sure I'll eventually use this pattern again. Someone with more sewing experience might have no trouble at all.
