Recently, while watching the utterly magnificent Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2017 Couture show (which you can see here, and which I highly recommend watching), I realized something – the models were wearing our West End Pants! Well, the Dior version anyway. Later that same day I received an email from Anthropologie and their models were also wearing our West End style. It was official: wide-leg cropped pants are the pant for this spring. Luckily, I have just the pattern to make them.
So, I had this brilliant idea for a stretch denim top that ended up looking awful...
We're still recovering from our trip out west to the Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, WA. We always look forward to our annual trip every year. It's great to see familiar faces, customers and vendors alike. Every year we try to plan our wardrobe, filtering inspirations that we've been collecting into a final garment. Kathy did an amazing job of that this year! Her look was very cohesive, fun, creative and extremely wearable. Take a look!
I love the West End Pants anyway because they are so cool and comfortable and chic, too. Shortening them if just a matter of deciding how to make them and cutting them off at the bottom. It's that easy!
Here are my two summer favorites.
I used green linen to make the shorts.
But if I have time, I'll be using cobalt blue linen,
EB14983 coral cotton and lycra
Top: Pearl Jacket in Linen Gauze
Middle:Pearl Jacket in Cotton Plaid
Bottom: Pearl Jacket in Stripe Knit
