I'm sparing you a picture of my face because this was my first day up and around after having a bad bout of food poisoning, and I'm looking only slightly better than death. The Renfrew however looks great. I really love how this fabric combo turned out.
The grey jersey is another remnant purchase from Vogue that was used for a Burda tunic last year. I purchased the black lace to make some Rosy Ladyshorts. Side note: I've made about five pairs of these now and they are amazing. The fit is perfect, and they just look so cute. I'll post some pictures (non-action shots of course) when I make another pair.
And here's the back. It's amazing how each Renfrew fits different depending on the fabric and how well I've managed my seam allowances for a particular project. This one was a bit tight around the arms. But post-food poisoning, lighter-weight me did not find it uncomfortable. Gotta look on the bright side of things!
Nice! You can never have too many Renfrews, amirite? I think I'm up to 12 now!
ReplyDeleteWondering if the lace is an overlay on top of the grey jersey?
forgot to say: sorry to hear you were ill, but glad you're on the mend!
DeleteYou're correct on both counts. It is lace overlay on top of the jersey, and really I don't think it's possible to have too many Renfrew! I've lost count of how many I've made, but I think your 12 still would have me beat (for now).
DeleteI love this! Definitely what I had in mind for the lace remnant I picked up from Vogue - now I know it would look great on a Renfrew :) And yeah - I totally feel you on the "bonuses of being sick" - lol!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and I do remember you mentioning wanting to use your lace in a similar way! I've been staring at these two fabrics for so long now wanting to make this, and finally just went for it.
