Inspiration...Long Shirt + Leggings

There are too many ideas to just have one inspiration post a week.  So, I will be doubling up for a bit.  Here's the latest find in a casual style:

This is the Eileen Fisher Ticking Stripe Button-Down Long-Sleeve Long Shirt and Viscoe Jersey Leggings.  Price tags:  Shirt - $250.00, Leggings - $98.00.  Details: Long Shirt - Band Collar, Crew Neck, Button front, Long sleeves, button cuffs, side slits, relaxed fit, knee length, and straight hem; Leggings - Ankle length, pull-on style, and ankle length.  For a closer look, head over to Neiman Marcus website.

For the Long Shirt, I'm going to fall back on the standard shirt pattern:

This is the Archer Button Up pattern by Grainline Studio.    This pattern is a little different since it has a yoke.  Pattern changes:  leave off the collar, add length and width to the top.  That's pretty much it.  

This is #5019 Silhouette Patterns Angel's Handbag & Leggings pattern by Silhouette Patterns.  The leggings in the pattern are pretty much what is shown in the Eileen Fisher photo.

As always, if you already have similar patterns fitted use those patterns.  Save that money and spend it on good quality fabric.  Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Sewing!

Inspiration...Something Casual

Today's inspiration is all about everyday casual. Here it is:

Doesn't this look comfy?  This is the Eileen Fisher Organic Interlock Funnel-Neck Tunic and Heathered Organic Cotton Jersey Leggings.  Price tag:  Top - $168.00, Leggings - $128.00.  Check Neiman Marcus website for a closer look.

For the top, I think this pattern works would well:

 This is Silhouette Patterns Swing Dress #4000.  I think the base is there but the neck line needed to thought about.  I looked for information on re-creating the neckline and haven't found it yet.  It looks like it could be as simple as a rectangle.

For the leggings, this pattern work definitely work:

This is Silhouette Patterns Angel's Handbag & Leggings #5019.  I think the leggings are pretty straight forward.
