Scout Tee - Silk Border Print

Easier projects, I do love them.  I usually turn to them when I need a quick sew, want to sew up some stash or going to start a larger project.  This Scout Tee happened because of all three!

IndieSew Tops and Fabric- Valencia & Scout Tee in Striped Rayon Denim

My theme for June is organization and with this is mind I present my IndieSew Team Blogger projects.  Yes, two tops because I could not stop making garments with this amazing fabric.

Just a quick Scout Tee to help my spring/summer wardrobe

This project was finished at the end of 2016 but didn't get worn until 2017.  It was a very quick project and one that was perfect to get me back to the sewing room after the holidays.

Scout Woven T-shirt

Raise your hand if you hate to let leftover fabric go to waste?  Yes, my hand is in the air, too
That is how this Scout Woven T-shirt came about

Print Mixing and Vogue 8909 with Mood Fabrics

During my day, I love to head over to Mood Fabrics' online store and check out the what's new section, which is updated quite frequently. It is such a nice break in my day and I can contemplate all the fabrics and what they might become. After I browse for a day or two, it is time to shop! I tend to shop two different ways when looking at all the fabric goodness at Mood Fabrics. My first way is with a specific garment in mind, which in this case led to these two fabrics in my cart, the first this Mood Fabrics' Pucci-esque Bold Border Print Poly Jersey

 

Two Tops for Summer into Fall

Summer is winding down and my thoughts are turning toward fall sewing.  I am not ready to give up summer all together, after all it is still 90+ degrees here in Missouri but I am ready for sewing something different.  I spotted this fabric right when it was added, Mood Fabrics' Italian Teal and Black Lacy Brocade  I had to have it. It is so gorgeous and my thoughts were a simple Grainline Scout T-shirt, that way the fabric does all the talking.  Another plus was the fabric description from Mood's site, "Has a soft hand and graceful drape, almost like a knit but without the stretch".  That sealed it, Scout t-shirt for sure

Thakoon Scout Woven T-shirt with Khaki Burda Pants

Enter into my sewing room two fabulous Mood Fabrics' Thakoon prints.  First to arrive to was Navy Abstract Soft Cotton

My plan was a Butterick top but then I found this  Anthropologie shirt.  So forget Butterick and enter Grainline's Scout Wovern T-shirt.  I just had to go shop for another fabric at Mood to get this look.  I tell you that is a hard job (ha ha)  but I stepped right up and went to shopping.  It wasn't long and I found just what I wanted.  This Thakoon Delft Blue Floral Silk Crepe De Chine

Silk Shirt using Three Patterns

A luscious piece of  Mood Fabrics' Silk Crepe de Chine

has been sitting on my cutting table just waiting to be made into a new top for me.  I really struggled to find a pattern I wanted to make.  I wanted it loose but not too loose, that doesn't look good on me.  I spent several days...

looking and
