FO: Smooth Sailing Blouse and Suspender Skirt
Hello Cats and Kittens!
Only two weeks til I fly away, and still sewing like i’m possessed!
I’ve just finished my latest 1940’s outfit – based on this for inspiration:
 |
| From Etsy |
And here’s my version:
I used the Smooth Sailing blouse pattern from Wearing History, and the skirt from Simplicity 3688 (with my own suspenders modification).
The blouse is made from a retro quilters cotton print, with vintage buttons off Etsy. The skirt is just navy gaberdine. I LOVE the skirt so much, its so comfortable.
I also have to show-off what Jakk got me for my birthday – a vintage WWII wife’s brooch! So sweet!

I always love how simple and fun your sewing projects turn out to be. Especially because sewing is not necessarily my strong point.

Everything came together perfectly! Am loving the suspender skirt – definitely need to add on of these to my wardrobe. The wife's brooch is just the icing on the cake: wonderful!!
