What has been your ‘Go to’ color for Summer thus far?? Mine has been Pink! But come to think of it I’ve been drawn to Pink/Blush tones since Fall last year… but who cares the season?? I’m loving the looks!!
With that said, it was on my last visit to my favorite fabric spot that I saw this particular fabric and fell in LOVE it because of its soft blush tone and peacock feathered print. ( I also happen to love peacocks…) Not only was I drawn to this fabric because of its print and color but it’s also extremely soft, comfortable and breathable. This fabric type is absolutely perfect for this Summer heat when clothes seem like your enemy!
Time to start sewing! To be honest, this sheer, soft fabric gave me hell to stitch on and usually I stay away from it because of this reason, it slides everywhere!! But Thanks to my Serger I got through it!
Initially, I wasn’t exactly sure what would be the end result (which is almost always the case with my designs) but I knew my goal was some some type of Duster style that can be worn over my swim suit or even over some pants. I even found some beads, actually I think they are hair beads, but I decided to throw them in the mix.
Tell me what you think! How would you have worn this ASMI duster? Which look do you prefer? and for my “Sewists” out there or fellow Sew Lovers, feel free to share any tips you have for sewing on this thin Chiffon type Fabric! Photos below 🙂
