In my previous valentine's day inspiration post, I was trying to decide what look I was going to go for. I had started with a peplum red dress that I made about Christmas time and I thought I was going to go with that. Pinterest wonderland ended up sucking me in and I changed my mind after seeing a white wide legged jumpsuit by Solace London. I had to have this. White was too much and too bridal for my taste, so I decided to go with black.



I didn't have any pattern that I could go by so I fused two patterns together McCall's 6838 for the top and butterwick 6178 for the bottom. I added about 10 inches to the bottom because these were culottes and I was going for a more Pant effect.


So this was my valentines day look. I accessorized with cascading gold chains, a red open toe boot and a little red clutch. The outfit was a hit. Definitely one to remake.

 

 

 

Look what McCall's did. Just look what they did. Like my love for jumpsuits isn't enough they go ahead and release this banging new pattern M7366. Where is the offering plate because my money is definitely going towards a few of these. Totally excited!

Clearly I have been thinking about myself with all my sewing projects, but I decided to work on a few things for hubby. Earlier on last year I thought it would be a great idea to make him some bow ties and pocket squares, but I didn't get to making them. This Valentines weekend, was the perfect opportunity to make something for myself and a few accessories for him to wear to an event we had, so I got to work. I found a stash of fabric I had kept for a future project and knew it would go perfectly with a suit hubby wanted to wear. So I got to work and in a few hours I was done. He loved it, and I did too. Here is to more bow ties and pocket squares in the future.
