I was excited to get to my new fabrics from the PR weekend. Not that I'm short on fabrics but the newest stuff always gets my attention. First I attacked the $1/yard fabric from the FIDM Scholarship store. These were my first purchases. I wish we had been able to go back there because the fabrics were interesting and quality for no money.
The red/khaki/cream circle fabric is a 4 way stretch probably poly with lycra. I had only 2 yards but it was 62 inches wide so I was able to squeeze out the Sandra Betzina skirt Vogue 2933 with one side panel and a crossover top from Simplicity 4095. I had to cut the sleeves sideways to fit them on my small yardage and I couldn't do any print placement. As a result the circles are not attractively placed on my bosum. Too bad cause otherwise I really like this top. I like the skirt too but not together so much.
The red fabric became New Look 6929, a longer faux wrap with crisscross bands and a wrap around sash. I think if I make this again I will go shorter as this longer tunic length isn't the best for me.

that color is so beautiful on you, love that wrap top, just so pretty
I'm so glad to see this post! I was having trouble seeing all your photos on Flickr (my problem, not something you did) and now I can see them here.
I think the longer length red NL top is actually a good length for you. Not something you'd want everyday lest it become boring LOL! but it looks great.
I can't wear red but it's definitely one of your flattering colors! You look wonderful.
You look AMAZING in that colour!! Wow!
What great garments. I'm so sorry I missed that FIDM store! Next time...
