She is back!! I Love my Pfaff!

 
 
In my last post, I traced this skirt and tissue fitted it. 
 
 
I picked up my Pfaff, and and went to work.
 I used my left over red rouge denim from Fabric.com


And of course I had to add pockets, all skirts need pockets.


 
Then I needed a new spring shirt to go with my new spring skirt.
 
 
View A, ruffled front and and short pleated sleeves.  I traced and tissue fitted the pattern first.  I ended up going with a size 16, even though per my measurements, I should have went with 18, as the pattern said it had 4" of ease.  I did a forward shoulder adjustment and an extra dart on side front to allow for better fitting.

 This is an old linen I have had in my stash for a few years.  Probably from JoAnns. 



 
 I just love the sleeves, they are pleated on top instead of gathered. 

 
I love my new spring outfit.  Now what shoes......
