The top is Vogue V7998 in white linen. I think this may be the third blouse I've made from this pattern. Love it and the fit and the simplicity of it. No facings! No plackets! I just keep adjusting the length of it to get a different look. This was an abandoned project down in the sewing room. I don't know why it was abandoned but now it is complete!

The skirt is something I whipped up on the morning of our company golf tourney when I realized I don't own a pair of shorts. I knew there was no way in hell I could whip up a pair of shorts but a skirt? Hell, yeah! After 90 minutes of tracing, cutting, sewing, pressing and handstitching I had a perfect sport skirt! Even better was the fabric I made it out of came from my scraps pile! Some fabric my sister had brought over an we made her a skirt from. Nice mid grey with a little stretch. Awesome! As you can see it's perfect for work too!
