Brown Skirt for me



Simplicity 2184 view A size 20 - no alterations Just a simple A-line skirt.

I've been sewing, a little bit. I just  haven't been blogging because I've been in the garden and canning season has begun. I figure I better update before I forget what I've done. I'll be scarce in the sewing room for the next 2 months - which makes me sad!

I've been talking to my personal color consultants (aka some of my best friends) and they've decided that all these years in navy blue has been all wrong!  Apparently I am a warm autumn person which means I need greens, browns, pumpkin, mauve, and periwinkle! I have very little of those in my wardrobe! LOL

My wardrobe is in such a sorry state anyway so no great loss! I guess I'll try to keep these colors in mind as I move forward and adjust as I go. Maybe someday I'll get it together!! That's a big maybe!

Now to find some fabric for a shirt to match.....

  1. Ha! I used to wear a LOT of navy blue, too . . . and guess what? I'm an "autumn" like you! Have you noticed how nice "your" colors look on you? Why can't we see that for ourselves??
