Nikko top and Jacket







Just call an angel..... Charlie's Angels!   1970's television show and that is how I am feeling this outfit, is it a Jaclyn Smith (Kelly) or Kate Jackson (Sabrina)?  I am feeling Jaclyn but not sure, so what do you all think?

Mustard Sweater Knit Coordinates






Coordinates are things I need at times and the past couple of weeks, I have focused on some basics that will go with existing pieces in my wardrobe. 


I purchased this Style Maker Fabrics' Sweater Knit in Honey and my idea was a cardigan.  So I went with my usual cardigan pattern, McCall's 6996. and it was a quick sew.  I looked at Pinterest and saw a golden cardigan with red jeans and white tee.  These are garments I have made in the past, so I went with the look.

Red Ginger jeans and white Union St Tee



I did use View A for the front and View C for the back and it is a quick garment to sew. I know this one will go with so many more things in my closet.


I did have extra fabric and went with the True Bias Rio Ringer T-shirt which doesn't take much fabric and I love the fit.





The sweater knit is perfect for this pattern and the honey color goes perfectly with my Simplicity 8700 jacket which I did not have a good top for it.  Now I do!



So next two posts will be some Hurrah!! These garments help complete my wardrobe!
