Pastels and Watercolors



I often get stuck in a rut with my self-made clothing. 


While making a garment, I have plenty of time to think about how I am going to style the finished product.  That first outfit gets etched in my subconscious, and every time I go to pull it out of the closet, I envision it exactly as it was previously worn. 


Which is terribly boring!


So for a fun exercise, I thought I would pair two previously worn separates (Simplicity 4047 & Simplicity 1997) to create a brand new outfit.


Because what good are all those blouses I made last year if they do not get to take a turn about the room!
