Black, white and a bit of red

 

technical drawing Fabric

It helps when you know your color season. Thank you for all your comments last week when I wrote about being in the winter season and asked how you define your colors. The concept has settled a bit in my mind, and when I look at the clothes I have and wear, there is a lot of black and white in them, and in the past I used a lot of blue. In the next period I will add more red and blue again.

Yesterday I went to a fabric shop, mainly to see if I could find coat fabric for the sew along coat (btw, it's going to be the Butterick with some changes, the Vogue coat will be done outside the sew along some time).

No fabric for a coat, but 3 fabrics for summer. Colors: black, white and a bit of red.  Tonight I started on blouse 107 from the June issue of BWOF with the fabric with red in it. Great, lightweight cotton, a breeze to work with. The front and back is done.  Promising to be a great pattern.

Yesterday I also started working on a new bag, but I changed my plan a bit, so that's waiting on an extra notion that I must buy.
