Reveal! I Match My Garden...Renfrew and Lisette

I have a reveal...Well not one TWO!!! 

Don't you love that my outfit matches my flowers? I was so exited when they all started blooming this week and I had to show you!

Anyway less of the gardening more of the sewings!

This is my first go at Lisette 2211 Skirt using the leftover needlecord from my Small Victory Beignet. I actually like it better than I thought I would I think I might have a go at the version without the pleats but this is definately going to be a wardrobe workhorse!

The buttons on the tabs came from Liberty from my last trip there. The tabs aren't the same length but I can't be bothered to fix it. I'll see how much it annoys me first.

Now onto the Renfrew!

I needed a size down. Its a nice pattern. Very easy and quick, I think I need to buy more medium jerseys and sew up a few. but I didn't stay stitch the neckline and my binding was slightly short. It took a lot of fiddling to get it to fit.

The only medium stretch jersey I had in my stash was one I got from Zoe in a Brighton Swap a while ago. I cut the neck binding and waistband vertically and I like the effect. Its certainly comfy and is a nice top for sunny weather. But I will cut a size smaller next time.

Both of these go together so no orphans here hooray! What do you think?
