Of course it's a sew-a-long that pulls me from the woodwork.
The premise is to create a fall weather outfit from the
20's-70's out of 100% cotton. I figured I needed more 100% cotton garments in
my closet, so this was right up my alley.
Feeling I needed some practicality in my life, I've decided
to make a blouse, and a pair of trousers.
The blouse will be made from Simplicity 1692 in view B. I'll
be using polka this blue and white fabric I bought at a school fabric sale a
year ago.
The trousers will be modified from a shorts pattern my
friend drafted for me. They'll be navy blue twill.

I sought inspiration from the 1940's land girls and
farmerettes (much like Rochelle and Tasha did!), and I'm sure I can properly
juggle school and sewing time to create this by the deadline.
I wish every one who's doing this sew a long good luck! This
is my first one I'm doing within the date, so I'm excited!!

Could someone kindly point me into the direction of some
simple HTML tutorials. My blog is desperately in need of a makeover.
