Title: We have a winner....
Post by: Manuela on October 05, 2018, 15:23:40 PM
... and here she is, the only person who managed to finish the 'Mate your Orphan' challenge.....

Tadaaaaaaa.....

Congratulations @Mocarroll very well done indeed - you look utterly fantabulous in this outfit and the lovely @Iminei will be in touch with you soon about your well deserved badge.  :D


In the quietness I have been trying to learn how to insert pictures, so here goes...
I do like a shirt and made this     [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]   a couple of years ago using Lekala 5988 (https://www.lekala.co/catalog/women/pattern/5988)and 50p  ametre fabric from Walthamstow market.  Could never find anything to wear with it.
So bought this (http://)from Fabricland to make https://www.stylearc.com/shop/sewing-patterns/jasmine-pant/ (https://www.stylearc.com/shop/sewing-patterns/jasmine-pant/)some trousers.  Finally bought some soft sweater knit at £3.99 from TiaKnight to make a long cardi using a self-drafted pattern.  Trousers almost finished and cardigan cut out and ready to go, shouldn't take long  0_0!

Here’s picture of the fabric for cardigan and trousers.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

Well here we are, all finished.  That was the easy bit, now the tricky bit, getting the photos in!
I wanted to make a casual Autumn outfit using a camel blouse I made a few years ago.  I made this long-line cardigan  using my overlocker and hemmed with the coverstitch machine.  It was a dream to work with and only took a few hours.
Trousers are really comfy but I've still got a bit of a saggy butt where I need to take a fish-eye dart next time.  Luckily cardigan covers it.
All in all an outfit for less than £20!  Blouse, 50p a metre from Walthamstow market, cardigan £3.99m from Tia Knight and trousers £3.99m from Fabricland.
And here is the whole outfit.   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

......And finally, another orphan screamed "What about me?" and I remembered this blouse that I made a few years ago using this pattern (https://thefoldline.com/patterns/clara-bow-blouse/) and some lovely Liberty silk which just happens to go perfectly with the colours in the cardigan.

Here is the cardigan and other blouse  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
