For about a year now, I've been trying to build a more wash and wear wardrobe. I love my delicate vintage dresses but I find myself wanting easy things I can slip on and get some housework done. I spent last summer sewing several things that are retro style but comfy and one of my favorite makes so far is this tunic from the Coco pattern by Tilly and the Buttons
. This pattern was a great buy for someone on a budget like me because it has the option for a dress/tunic or a blouse, funnel collar or no collar, pockets or none. I love patterns that you can mix and match to get different looks from the same pieces. This turned out so cute, I'm planning to make several more. I think it would be adorable with tights and 60s style boots but in February in St. Louis, pants work just fine! After sewing this and thrifting several other black and white stripe tops, I've but a stripe ban on my closet for a while but I also sewed this one as a top in polka dots and it turned out pretty cute!
My brooch is also a me-made thing. I found this funny will return sign at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry department. The hands move so I can change the time. It cracked me up and I thought it would be the perfect brooch.
