Title: In need of inspiration
Post by: Bodgeitandscarper on July 02, 2019, 16:42:24 PM
I have two fabrics that go well together, but I just can't work out how to use them together.  The plain blue is a thin cotton jersey, and the patterned is a georgette I think.
I'm thinking a sleeveless top, with some sort of layering, or colour blocking, with the georgette possibly sewn in the top seam of a panel...
I've trawled through all the tops patterns on Jaycotts and I still can't work out what I want.

Any ideas, kind peeps?  It doesn't have to be a pattern even, just a pic or website will do.

Joe Browns (https://www.joebrowns.co.uk) often have dresses and tops that made with two (or more) different fabrics.

Thank you, I do like their stuff, although it seems to have gone a bit boring recently, and I can't find anything to inspire me  :(
And I'm currently trawling through NewChic's website, but with our internet speed, it's taking along time to load each page...

It's a little, errr, ordinary for my tastes...  And I can't find any Vogue patterns either that I fancy.

The top pattern looks like a useful one, although I would probably need to double up the lower half fabric.  It seems like it's not available here in the UK, but I've found one on ebay and bought it  :)  Still looking for more ideas though  :)
Thank you, @Vezelay

How about Vogue 8975. I’ve seen some great examples of it made up on PR, it’s high on my list of patterns to try.
