What am I sewing?

Not a lot I must say, first it was awfully hot here (the weatherforecast I mentioned in my last post was right), and then I was just too busy doing other things. In small time slots I managed to make a lingerie set again, and I'm very happy that I finally got the right fit again. In the sew along some ladies started to name their sets, and I am following that and call mine 'blue summer sky'. The lycra is the color of the sky, the lace the same color with just a bit of white in it.

An impression of my set.

ETA to answer JoanneM's question on the shoulderstrap: I bought the strap (and didn't alter it) at Kantje boord, a famous shop with lingerie fabrics and notions in Amsterdam, where all of what I used in this set came from.

The red/white blouse is a succesful piece for me, I've already worn it twice. Thank you for all your nice comments. Creative cotton asked whether it was suitable for beginners. construction of this pattern is described step by step and I think you can do it when you have some sewing experience. The gathering in the side is a bit tricky, and the collar with stand is not very easy, but explained well.

I still have a few weeks before our holidays, and realized that in early September I have two occasions where I want to sew something nice for (not very formal though). I won't have enough time when I'm back, so I plan to sew something before we leave. It must be something versatile, as the weather in September can be very hot, but also pretty cool here. More in my next post.
