Cordurain

January 13, 2013 on 10:15 pm | In Sewing | 37 Comments

Well kids, I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend. It’s been dreary, chilly and rainy here. I went outside today and found this pretty scene on MeMum’s clothesline.

I’ve managed a bit of sewing this past week, and I was in search of a bit of sunlight (not to be had!) to take a few pictures of my new top.

Remember a year ago when I made a shirt using the bright green Amy Butler corduroy? I LOVE that shirt. I’ve worn it to death.

It’s so warm and cozy in the winter, so I decided to make another one from the same pattern. This time with a blue Amy Butler corduroy. It’s hard to get a good picture of the shirt ’cause the print is so wild. I’m thinking maybe next time I should find a solid corduroy.

In the meantime, this shirt should be pretty happy with some jeans.

Ok peeps, off to pay some bills. Have a good week!

XOXO,
Anna

Were you dressmaker to Marie Antoinette in a former life?

I didn’t even know they made corduroy in patterns like that. I love it, love it! I haven’t had my sewing machine out for ages, and I won’t pretend that I have any plan to accomplish any sewing soon, but…..one day, I’ll get back to it.

That is a beautiful shirt and a beautiful print. I think it will be very happy with some jeans.

Your Amy Butler top is looking gorgeous!
I’ve always loved to wear corduroy.
The weather is cold and freezing here and tonight there will be snow. Brrr.

This is sure pretty, and just in time for the cold weather so you can wear this one out, and look good while you do ~

That shirt would be perfect in the snow here today – would you like to send it over here? No? Oh well, then I shall have to admire it from afar – it’s beautiful!

Wow – I can’t believe you made that! It looks amazing. I think corduroy, particularly needlecord is a great (and underrated fabric).

The new blouse is beautiful, Anna. It’ll bring some smiles to the dreary winter weather, I’m sure. :o)

I love the shirt. NOT too wild! Perfectly YOU! Just gorgeous. Your first photo is really spectacular. I love it.

Well, you got rain, we got freezing rain and snow. It’s really cold here. Misery.

Anna, What a gorgeous afghan – beautiful cable knitting- I am knitting these days too but it is much smaller – frilly scarves that are the rage around blogland.
I love your shirt- You will look very chic in it- The fabric is gorgeous..

Terrific photo on the clothesline.
Warmest regards from Alberta,
Anna

Happy New Year! What a lovely shirt! You are so talented! Nieces look sweet with those knits! Sweet, sweet, sweet! Oh, I did not know that you baked your ginger breads for the house. Holy cow GF! Do you have a time turner or something? Enjoy the week! Cheers!

Hope BDaddy is getting better every day.

I like that wild fabric! It’s hard to believe it is corduroy– it looks like cotton in the photos. I can just imagine how cute it will look with jeans. And the corduroy will keep you nice and warm.

The shirt is fantastic. Would love to see the green one. I have two summer shirts cut out, perhaps I should get on to them today!

Comment by Annie — January 18, 2013 #

Love…

I love this corduroy shirt! I’ve been thinking of making a Tova dress using this same fabric, but wasn’t sure if I’d like “so much” of it. Your shirt has cinched it – adding it to my long to do list, LOL.
