The snowball bush we have in the back-side yard is one of my favorite old-fashioned blooms... along with the lilac trees, of course. After finishing these pair of pants SweetPea and I headed outside to do a quick photoshoot. Well, she clearly had fun with snowballs in the summer!
Tank top is new, too - made of cotton lycra jersey knit with picot-edged elastic for the neckline and underarms... Ottobre 04/2004 #33 size 110 with two inches added for length.
Oliver + S Sailboat Pants made out of Bamboo Twill. This is one of the oddest fabrics I've ever worked with. It felt like cardboard when wet and had a distinctive odor - like wool when it is wet. Out of the dryer it sounded like something to be stretched over a drum... so very odd, but so very, very soft (after it was dried). Irons similar to linen, but has more of a drape when worn. I really like it.
Light blue topstitching, vintage shell buttons - size 4 with three inches added to the length. (I spliced the pattern to properly add length.)
