It's been a while. I've been sewing but not for myself. I'm still concentrating on my dolls. But a need has arisen and I need to sew for myself. The golf season has started and as I do every year I needed to look over my past season's outfits to see what still fit and what I still liked. And this is where the need for new golf clothes began. Remember the raccoon problem we had? Well it seems that before we were finally able to rid ourselves of the raccoon problem they, yes they, had taken up residency in the box with my golf clothes. Let's just say I told the husband to throw the whole box out. The thought of trying to clean clothes that had raccoon urine and feces totally grossed me out. I'll pass and just sew new outfits! Wouldn't you agree?
The first outfit of my new golf wardrobe will be McCalls 6885 View A.

I have the perfect fabric in my stash. It's a stretch cotton sateen, that should be comfortable in sometimes steamy golf course conditions.
If I have enough of the printed fabric I'd love to make the matching hat! After this I'll have to look through my fabric and patterns to decide what the second wardrobe piece will be. What are you working on?
I think that will be one cool looking outfit, my sewing is giving me fits at the moment lol! I mena how hard shoulod it be to line a sleveless dress lol! anyways I'm going to dive into my dolls as it's never too early to get started for show time, loved the poem, made me laugh as I thought about a dress I thought I was gong to take apart & take in only to find I've grown to fit it lol! lol!

Great minds...this is on my cutting table as we speak. I LIKE THE HAT TOO! I think you've encouraged me to make it. Love your fabric choices. Here's to a GREAT golf season!
ReplyDeleteI like the colors and the hat idea. Shame about the raccoons -- bummer. We had a family of skunks living under our shed. Took two years to get rid of them. Anyway, have fun creating your new golf wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteYa gotta make the hat!!! How cute are you going to look?!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the raccoons! I would have tossed the box too! And I agree with everyone else - make the hat!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey, we're making that same pattern now too! Just put in the collar. It's a straightforward pattern. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHurry up and get your dress made, I want to see it. Love those colors!
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric selection. Enjoy being creative!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am totally waiting impatiently. You would swear this post was written like 3 weeks ago as impatient as I am waiting :-p
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that box needed to be tossed. Set on fire. And dumped. Rodents=No Deal.
