I've just re-made one of her tee's that I made last winter . Here's the original which I loved in cold weather:
And here I am wearing it with my Au Bonheur tunic last winter
Next, using Marcy's ideas from her tee-shirt gallery, I gathered more fabric that I liked to add onto the tee, this time using inspiration from an Au Bonheur pattern I had made and review previously: Au Bonheur Top
I especially like the added gusset on the front side, which breaks up up the wide horizantal expanse and used the ruffle that is only on the back of this pattern all around on my tee. This helped add some length which my original needed in order to be worn out over this length of pant.
What fun I've had with this "remake", using as inspiration my 2 favorite designers---Marcy Tilton and Au Bonheur patterns (which you can order here http://www.patron-de-couture.fr/ ) They are very user friendly even if you don't know French and I encourage every sewer who likes something a little different to give them a try! Sew on and happy long weekend----pegsewer
Oh my, oh my, you do challenge me to do some thinking about my staid wardrobe. I did stop in at Goodwill after seeing your skirt. I bought a garment that I plan to salvage some of the details for shirt/jacket.
