Another Dolman-Sleeved Top - seriously, if you sew and you haven't downloaded this pattern yet, RUN to your printer and do it now! This is another soft, stripey cotton from Girl Charlee, same as my orange one only in blue.
And another Foldover Waist Skirt, from the Sewing with Knits class on Craftsy. The fabric on this one is somewhat more stable than the first one I made!

| Please note how the stripes match at the shoulder! *pats own back* |
And just for kicks, since it's also called a "yoga skirt" - not that I would ever actually do yoga in a skirt - here's me trying to beat the camera timer and get into Trikonasana on a slippery wooden floor!
Didn't quite make it!
yeah, who actually does yoga in a skirt? i had almost forgotten about cation designs' dolman top, need to pop over and download it! i definitely eyed this fabric, i think there's another similar in a sweatshirt type fleece that may be calling my name... as always, great work!
ReplyDeleteI've seen plenty of women running in skirts, but you tend not to go upside down when you're running, LOL!
DeleteThis striped fabric is SO soft. I really wish it came in more colors. The only color I didn't get was hot pink. I was wishing for yellow!
Gail, you are too funny! Love that you actually tried doing a yoga pose in your yoga skirt. So, despite the wonky waistband I love my Dolman top. I may just have been persuaded to hop on over to Girl Charlee. I'll keep you posted....
ReplyDeleteI took a photo of me doing Vrksasana too, but the chubby parts of my legs showed, so I left that one out!
DeleteI do love my Dolmans. (Dolmen?) I've been on the lookout for fabric to make some more too.
Here's an extra pat on the back for you ... matching up those stripes is phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love pats on the back! :-P
DeleteHow cute! I love both pieces-- what a cozy, sweet outfit! I NEED one of those dolman tops!
ReplyDeleteYou do need at LEAST one of these dolman tops!
DeleteThe stripes on the shoulders match? That is serious skill right there. You made most of that outfit and it looks fantastic, how accomplished you must feel.
ReplyDeleteNow I just need to learn to make shoes . . .
DeleteYou're going to motivate me to sew a garment if you keep tempting me like this, Gail.
ReplyDeleteYou're a talent-and-a-half!
hugs
Sewing garments is fuuuuuuun! :-)
Deletelol! Nice yoga pose!! This looks really good!
ReplyDeleteyoga wearing a skirt? strange to say the least... I love how the stripes really emphasizes the dolman sleeve top: I need to go and buy some ink for my printer :)
ReplyDeleteYay! One more for the team!
DeleteI am so impressed with your stripe matching, and totally thrilled to hear that you love this top pattern so much! Man, I need to get me some striped knit.
ReplyDeleteI do love it! I'm constantly on the lookout for fabric to make more!
