Simplicity 9825
Another color scheme for our Sanctuary Choir. I thought it would have been a good way to get rid of a couple of yards of stashed fabric. So I chose to do S9825.
Originally, I was going to do View C, but after I measured the finished length to my body, I would have to add another full skirt to it to make it church decent! The finished length for View C (in ALL sizes) is 17 inches! Now we ALL know that a 17 inch skirt will not fit
the same way it will fit

So, I had to go to the View B skirt. Much better. I put a few personal touches on this one. (I actually liked how another reviewer put bias on her seam allowances so I bit.) It actually made the inside a whole lot better.
The side seams are nice too although I did not put bias on them. I serged them in black to coordinate the bias. (Actually, that’s all I have is black and white serger thread. lol I chose black.)
Here are the buttons and the full shot of the zipper. Boy am I getting superb results these days!
Free Vogue Pattern
I took lots of photos because three reviews are in this one outfit. The free vogue shirt was very simple and my second time at this top. I like it a lot but I think this is my last time making this one for a while. This is the first version.

The last article is the pattern for this tank top I had for a very long time. I made the long sleeve blouse a long time ago and kept the pattern…because that’s what I do. I keep patterns. I decided to go ahead and do the tank and retire it. Although this is just a mock up it’s ok. (The reason for the ripples in the pictures.) I did not sew down the tricot lining because I am going to use it in the ‘real thing’.
Here’s the pattern:
The pattern calls for a woven. I used a knit. Hence the reason this is a mock up. But away with the blabber, here are some photos:
I like this look with the belt:
Another look with the scarf I made with left over fabric from the vogue top:
I have to add the pictures with the Vogue top later because my camera died in the midst of the session. I have more batteries and will take pictures tomorrow and post them for the world to see.
Until Later and more pictures,

Schey, I have this skirt pattern and made it only one time years ago(I keep patterns too!) I love your version. What fabric did you use? It almost looks like a denim, is it?
Also, why would you retire such a great tank top??!! That one looks really cute, is it easy to make??
I love all the looks...my favorite is with the black belt!
Hey, Myra. I used a stretch twill. I'm going to put it in the back of the box after I make the real tank. Yes, it was very easy to make. I had second guesses with trying to make it out of a knit. I had to cut off a bit to get it right. I should have cut the top v-part too but didn't and it sits really crazy. I will redo it then move on to other patterns.
I love the belt look too. Really cute.
cute outfit.
Nice Job!
Great outfit, love the color combinations.
Very lovely combination, those colours look better together than I thought they would! I think I like the tucked in version best of the 3, especially with that belt. Very classy. :)
Superb results in deed! Love your skirt, top, scarf, and shoes! My fave is with the scarf around the waist. Ce' chic!
