LATE EVENING SUNSHINE AND SOME BONUS LEGS

Image
It's nice when it is summer and the nights are pale and light again! Here we are outside at 10pm. It is also nice when it is warm and one can wear light clothing in just one layer. Dresses. No socks, no jacket. And it's even nicer when your dress is not a dress but has legs! Ha!

EVERY SEASON IS JUMPSUIT SEASON

I'm continuing my -apparent- theme colours for this fall; here in a jumpsuit I sew myself in a dark, plum-brownish shade. I've noticed that sewing is perhaps the closest to a hobby I have, as I otherwise don't really have time for one (unless buying lipsticks counts as a hobby). While I have to do a lot of sewing for work (costumes) too, sewing for my everyday-self is something of a threat as I am not able to do it whenever I'd like, and it is not something I  have to d o but want to. I made this based on  a thinner jumpsuit I have , bought last summer.  That one fits and hangs great but the fabric was cheap and got floppy very fast. So I decided to make a new, better quality version. As you may remember I am not used to working with patterns, but I often copy things I see. Cutting is always the hardest part, sewing is easier. I will still need to make a small lift in the waist as it gets a bit bulky there, and I want to add a couple of decorative buttons in the front -
