A few weeks ago, I finally decided to use my Smuggler's Daughter gift card that I won from the CSC Wrap Along. It was so hard to make a decision that it took me a while, but finally I decided what I wanted. Yesterday, the door bell rang and I figured it was more Christmas gifts to wrap. Then I saw the label on the box and I did a little happy dance. It was my Smuggler's Daughter order.
When I opened the box, this is what I saw:
This is my first order from Smuggler's Daughter, and let me tell you...I am quite impressed. Wanna see what was inside this pattern paper with a red bow?
Both of these great fabrics are still available. The knit fabric is called Lucky Lavender Knit. It feels dreamy. Perfect mid weight knit, and the color...it is really a grey purple. I just LURVE it!
The wool plaid is an Italian 50% virgin wool and 50% cotton blend. It is called Lake Lavanda Plaid. I didn't realize that it was a textured wool, but I really like it. It matches the knit really well. It has a nice drape and is not as stiff as some wool fabrics. It is almost like a really thick flannel.
There will be a shirt and skirt combo in the new year. Count on that! Now I just have to figure out what kind of a skirt to make. So many possibilities...decisions, decisions!!!
What type of skirt do you all think I should make? A half circle? A maxi length skirt? A pencil skirt? I just am not sure where I will be headed with this, but I am excited to get there.
What is your favorite skirt pattern that would work with this great plaid wool? Talk to me friends, because I need some creative inspiration here.
