I love "The Historical
Sew Fortnightly" challenges. So far I have quite a collection of new
clothes for the 2013 season at Ardenwood Historical Farm, Fremont,
California. By April I should be fully decked out!
Yesterday, I started the Challenge #6 Stripes - Due March 25 - "The stripe is one of the oldest patterns, appearing in the earliest textile fragments and visual records of garments, and its never gone out of style since. Celebrate stripes with a striped garment. Will you go for grand baroque stripes, pastel rococo stripes, severe neoclassical stripes, elaborately pleated and bustled Victorian stripes, or something else entirely?"
I am a little hesitant about stripes, they are so OUT THERE. but I came across this wonderful lightweight muslin. The stripe is just a change in the weave of the fabric. Very low key, I love it!
I cut it from this pattern:
It is so much easier this time around because in January when I made my first blouse with this pattern I made a muslin pattern to my size so BINGO! easy peasy!
I am about half the way through, I just might post a photo tomorrow. Photos just don't turn out when taken in the evening. I have sleeves, collar, hooks, eyes, some trim and all finishings to do.
