Guess what peeps? Not only is it a holiday Monday here in the states, but it's also new Bluegingerdoll pattern time. Woo Hoo, let's party with grilled burgers and sewing! Just don't mix the two unless fire and grease stains are how you like to unwind.
But enough of my nonsense, let me introduce you to the Ava Jacket and the Besty skirt.
The Ava Jacket is a slightly cropped kimono affair with 3/4 length cuffed sleeves. You can make it with a contrast collar/cuff, like I have, or use the same fabric for the entire jacket. My Ava has a 100% viscose shell and silk charmeuse collar, cuffs and lining.
Oh hello, pleased to meet you gallant prince outside of my photo frame. Check out my cufffffs.
Betsy is a pencil skirt with 3 different views. I'm wearing the high waisted view C, made up in silk satin. As you can see this baby has several style variations to tickle your fancy. Mmmmm so many pencil skirts, so little time.
I like multiple darts for my butt and I can not lie. Sadly this pic doesn't show the great detail that is pleated kick pleat. Let me assure you that it is awesome.
For more in depth descriptions of the patterns and much better pictures than mine, hop on over to the
Bluegingerdoll blog. If you like what you see, you can pick up the new patterns in PDF and paper form over at the
store at 10% off through the 28th. Hot patterns right off the printer, YUM!

P.S. I'm wearing the Closet Case Files
Nettie bodysuit with Ava and Betsy. More on that later cause it deserves it's own post.
Damn. Just give Blue Ginger Dolls all my money now. A very elegant combination and I love the rich blue!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh! I love all of this! Pardon me for saying this but....that skirt makes you butt look awesome!! Dang! OH... I just noticed that Emmie said the same thing. Good, I'm not weird alone.
ReplyDeleteDamn! Your butt looks great! And silk satin!!!!! Wow, that must feel AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteYou look smoking! I love that jacket!
ReplyDeleteSo fancy-pants Heather!!
ReplyDeleteFroggie will reimburse you with cookies for giving bluegingerdoll all your money. :) I admit being sucked into a Fabricmart sale just because they had a bunch of cobalt fabric. More blue!
ReplyDeleteI shall tell my handsome male servant to also bring you a drink. :) If only that was true, cause lounging all day sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteNot weird at all! There's a reason I put that picture up. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge." :)
ReplyDeleteIt's the satin that makes my butt look great. :) Shiny shiny! Silk satin is nice to work with since it doesn't slide around at all when you cut it. Win!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking this would be a great bed jacket if we were southern ladies with other people to do all the dirty work. :)
ReplyDeleteHee hee, my wardrobe is literally bursting with outfits for my Standford wife tea parties. :)
ReplyDeleteNo need to excuse yourself about butt comments Margo. I thought the same when looking at the pictures. "Gotta post that one!" LOL. :)
