Plaid, tartan, chequered, checks, gingham ....whatever you call it, it's my pattern of the week in my '365 Patterns' project.
The reason I chose plaid this week is due to this outfit which I wore to a Christening on Sunday.
The star of the show wore an adorable bespoke navy and white sailor suit, meanwhile I pulled this mustard and grey combo together to co-ordinate with the skirt.
I've added 7 plaid-themed patterns, including that of the skirt, to my '365: Chasing Patterns' Flickr set. Don't forget you can add any patterns of your own to the group I created too.
[I left the top of the photo un-cropped so you can see a glimpse of a pattern that will definitely be making its way into my project sometime this year!].
I've been having a browse around for some sneak peaks for the new paper ranges which will be released after the CHA exhibition this month. A collection from Studio Calico is the one I'm most interested in so far ...let me knnow if you've found anything particularly wonderfully patterned won't you?
:D

Cute outfit! So far I'm loving the Studio Calico too and some of the Sassafras..but that's just for starters I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab outfit! LOVE the yellow gloves and belt.
ReplyDeleteI hardly dare look at new CHA stuff as I know there's a fair chance I will NEED more stash if I do.. and I really don't need more stash! ;)
Gorgeous outfit, you look fantastic! You know it's really not done to upstage the child at their own christening ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm got lots of lovely vintage patterned fabric I want to add to your flickr group but taking decent photos is a nightmare at the mo. It keeps raining so I can't shoot outside and my little cottage is v dark inside. I'll manage it one day!
Sigh. Utterly gorgeous outfit - you do, indeed, look wonderful. Yellow gloves, for the love of heavenly!
ReplyDeleteOn my yarn-buying travels yesterday, and after more than half an hour of to-ing, fro-ing and most probably annoying the hell out of any lurking store detectives, the colours I ended up picking were pale grey, mustard and a mink-ish sort of shade. Were you, or were you not, communicating this palette to me via telepathy?
On the plus side, I pretty much have the means to crochet my own Julie now...
:)
I heart those shoes so much! And those gloves! sigh......... can I come drool over your closet :-) Lovin the flickr group!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit and that wallpaper at the top of the stairs is great- where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit!
ReplyDeleteI haven't worn a skirt in an age...really need to rectify that!!
