I love a smart, well tailored pair of culottes, or divided skirt as I prefer to call them.
This is a particularly classy pair with nice pleating and a very generous ankle length, which I love. I bought these on ebay, but from the cut and style, I'd say they were very expensive when originally sold.
Culottes are like pencil skirts to me. They are a must have in one's wardrobe, but an item of clothing that I don't wear regularly, but when I do, I really appreciate having it :-)

Our Daily Challenge - Feb 7, 2017 - "Repetition"
Daily Dog Challenge 1925. "Patterns"
Good grief, I should have just hung it around somebody's neck. The pattern/repetition gets lost in the camera angle. :(
This will be prop #6 for the year, unless something else sneaks in before I finish. Prop #5 is already completed, but has yet to make its debut.
The cream fleece will be a collar.
Between taking the picture and typing this text, I've cut it to length, hemmed the ends, and tacked it into place.
The plaid fabric is a double layer of flannel wired ribbon (with the wire pulled out) bought on heavy discount after Christmas. The width was too perfect to pass up, and the edges were already neatly hemmed to enclose the wire.
The buttons (not yet attached) were lucky finds in my beads-n-baubles box.
This is the first time I've tried adding a collar to their collars. I'll let you know how it turns out!
Keep in mind, my sewing skills are pretty basic, at best.
Autotags: "people"... but no dogs. The boys are unimpressed.

Their ability to 'sew' their own homes is what fetched them this name. They are song birds and were popularized by Kipling in his poem 'The jungle book' in 1894. Their sewing abilities are beautifully covered in this video thekidshouldseethis.com/post/tailorbird-nest
#tipsandtricks - It took me three weeks, a cemented butt and heavy showers to get to this little one. So my friends, waiting it out, being observant and may be cheating a little with electronic bird voices are the only tricks to capturing a bird ( on your camera ofcourse)...
The other day during one of my nieghbourhood walks I came across an old-fashioned custom tailor shop that I had never paid attention to before. The shop was not open at the time, but while I was making the photos through the window, a young lady returning to her apartment upstairs told me Mr. Raffaele is a very pleasant gentleman and if I'd call him at the shop number, he would love to let me into the shop and chat about anything.
I have not had the courage to do that yet.
