This is from the same New Look pattern, just different lengths. And on the second one I expanded the width to make it more of a smock, which I love to wear over tees and pants. It has set in pockets and a pleat with loop at the back yoke. Nice details. I added side vents at the hem.
I need more white in my wardrobe so I did this top in white Waverley cotton. I like the fit but hate the wrinkles which immediately form when I put on my seat belt. Grrrrrr.
This is a freeform kimono with multiple prints. Just fun to make and to wear. I made it buttonable instead of ties.
Speaking of wrinkles, handkerchief linen/rayon blend. So crisp and perfect until one wears it anywhere. Old Issey Miyake pattern.
Raglan sleeve pullover dress in crinkle dyed cotton, which I bought from Fabric.com a few years ago. This one is just great to wear and doesn't show the wrinkles.
And then I needed black pants and went for the wide leg. Two knits, one rayon challis and one linen/rayon blend. Can't have too many pants.
Loved the Kimono. Don't know what Freeforn means, perhaps you could give us a few tips. Thanks. Frankie
