52 Week Sewing Challenge- Week 47
I got a huge kick out of this weeks 52 Week Sewing Challenge.... Sew something with an elastic waistband. What a PERFECT time of year for that challenge. š¤£š¤£ I'm about to stuff my face with turkey and all the trimmings and right after that we hit the Holiday season where my house will be a constant source of DELICIOUS baked goods, so you KNOW I HAD to accept this weeks challenge!!!
IĀ had some of the BEAUTIFUL Emi in French TerryĀ and some Navy and Heathered Gray that I knew would go PERFECTLY together, but wasn't sure what bottoms pattern I could find that I could use all 3 of those fabrics on. Then I remembered about theĀ Ā Drew Joggers from Petite Stitchery and Co.*Ā and how it has that AWESOME tuxedo stripe going down the side and knew that's what I needed to make. ššš I was considering doing the ruched version, butĀ betweenĀ Thanksgiving being right around the corner and getting ready for our #DecktheHallswithAshandElm event I've been swamped and I just wanted to get this sew done as quickly as possible.Ā
You know I couldn't just make a pair of joggers right?!?! Of course I needed a SWEET new top to go with my AMAZING new pants and theĀ Runway Raglan from Petite Stitchery and Co.*Ā was just what I was envisioning to make this outfit FABULOUS!!! I LOVE the little pop of color I can add to the shoulders!Ā
Now if you're thinking to yourself "Hey self this combo looks a little familiar don't you think?" Well you'd be right! š¤£ A few weeks back when I got my hands on some of that AMAZINGĀ Gold and Teal Mountain Yardage*Ā Ā I made T2 an outfit using those two patterns and I loved it so much that I knew I would have to make a similar set in my size at some point. š
I am absolutely in LOVE with the way this outfit turned out and can not wait to sit on my couch after a delicious meal and just relax and be SOOO COMFORTABLE!!! Are you following along with the 52 Week Sewing Challenge? I'd LOVE to see what you created this week!
