Perfect Pattern Parcel: Syrah Skirt

October 31, 2014 by Abby 7 Comments

Syrah Skirt

As I said in my post for the Hudson Pants, this is my most favourite Perfect Pattern Parcel! I haven’t taken off the pants and skirt since I made them. There’s only about 18 hours to go until the parcel deal ends, so head on over and pick yours up now.

This skirt is soooooo comfy! It looks nice and polished but seriously feels like you’re walking around in PJs! Such a win for me. A bit of style and a lot of comfort. The waistband feels lovely and secure and the skirt stays right where it is. In the ‘interesting’ photo above, Roman is holding a drawing of a rainbow, a train and me wearing the skirt apparently. He wanted me to show you all.

About Pattern Parcel:
Here at Perfect Pattern Parcel, we believe in supporting independent pattern designers. It’s our opinion that indie patterns are just, well, better than big box patterns, and we’re pretty sure our customers think so too. So, we allow customers to show their support in naming their own price for each Parcel. We also encourage customers to allocate part of their Parcel price to the charity Donorschoose.org in order to help classrooms in need. Pattern Parcel donates all profits after expenses from Parcel sales to the charity as well. Together we’ve raised $12,000 for classrooms in need.

We have this ladder in our backyard at the moment. I’m thinking of propping it against the fence with some plants on it. In the meantime, we thought it would make a fun prop for some photos. Do I look totally stressed that I am going to fall off at any second? And did you notice I had a haircut too? It’s soooo much shorter than it was and about one of the shortest haircuts I’ve ever had. I’m still getting used to it, but I think it will be perfect for summer.

My skirt is made from a stretch cotton jersey. It’s fairly thick and the skirt feels heavy when I hold it in my hand, but I don’t notice the weight when I’m wearing it. I didn’t line the skirt, just the waistband and I’m happy with the result. You should make one too!

      Thanks Toni-Maree! Yes, they are so perfect for summer. I made the shorts in the winter wonderland tour – https://www.thingsforboys.com/2013/11/winter-wonderland-pattern-tour.html Amazing to see how much shorter they are on him a year later.

Quick and satisfying project today making a brush Quick and satisfying project today making a brush roll for my art supplies. Vintage canvas from the stash (which I think is from a bougie Italian designer). Matching bag to come. Then I can grab and go for my next en plein air session.
I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate eac I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate each season and observe the cyclical nature of growth and of life. Through tending a garden we learn to embrace imperfection and patience. That the reason for everything is the journey not the destination.
My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Part My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Party was the Lucca Dress from @schultzapparel. I adore the 18th Century vibe! After toiling my measured size, I ended up going down 2 sizes and after a few minor tweaks I make to most patterns (shorten and move forward the shoulder and realign the side seams) it was good to go. I was planning to finish the front with eyelets but ended up hand sewing in hook and eye tape. I love the clean look! When trying it on I wanted a little more oomph in the hips so I added some tulle hip pads to the sides. I added in seam pockets too because...pockets! The fabric is from deep stash and originally purchased at the Philips Shirt Factory sale in the city maybe 10 years ago?! It was a dream to sew with! I used about 5m because it was only 90cm wide. I'm loving the result and hopefully the weather plays nice and I get another chance to wear it before it turns cold. The dipped waist makes it really comfortable to wear with room for a big lunch! #schlucca #sewmelbourne #sewmelbournegp #imakemyownclothes
My grandma always grew borage and would put it in My grandma always grew borage and would put it in salads. I didn't know anyone else who made salad with flowers in it (it was the 80s) and I thought she was a magical witch. I'm so excited to finally grow it in my own garden! When buying veggie seeds I found borage on @theseedcollection so couldn't help myself. Witches unite! ✨🌱
Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to front garden a bit easier. Used scraps of timber from the old retaining wall. He wasn't a fan of the circular saw but loved doing the drilling and screwing. Worked out just as I hoped! I don't have a builders square, but turns out a quilting ruler makes an excellent substitute.
