Inspiration...Cardigan, Tank, and Skirt

Let's continue the linen theme from last week.  Here's a nice little outfit:


This is the Shine Open-Front, Bracelet-Length Crop Cardigan, Organic Handkerchief Linen Camisole, and Organic Linen A-Line Side-Slit Midi Skirt.  Price tags:  Cardigan - $248.00, Camisole - $118.00, Skirt - $178.00.  Let's see what we can do to duplicate this.

For the cardigan:



This is Silhouettes 195 Sweater Set.  It is a base pattern.  Once this is fitted, the neck line can be changed, the sleeve length shortened, and overall length cropped.

For the camisole - I was unable to locate a woven camisole pattern.  I know they exist.  So, I'm substituting a tank -


This is Silhouettes 514 4-way Tank Top.   This top is a bit fiddly for fitting but once you have it there are many options.  Remember the neckline shaping is fairly easy to change.

For the skirt -


This is the Loes Hinse Skirt Trio pattern.   View C is the version you would want.  All you need to do is add the slits.

Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
