I've been sewing by hand, with "sewing time" interspersed with crochet or reading or whatnot, so I'm rather slow. I've not made anything since this post other than two rolled-hem items.
Sadly, I've always been a rather boring dresser: neither fashionable nor orthogonal. Too much time spent keeping my head down is to blame for that probably. Your shopping outfit sounds fantastic, though!
My next steps in the outfit I'm making are bloomers, and a bias-cut skirt in a natural-colored linen. I'm finishing up a crocheted tunic-vest in dark brown with butter-yellow, soft-white, and reddish-orange accents that'll go over a white linen pirate-style blouse that tops the skirt off. We'll see how far I get before the correct season arrives (autumn) - perhaps this'll be NEXT year's outfit. :D
I'm wondering if we'll be seeing peak thrift store in the near future... that's kind of what's behind my drive to learn to make (even simple) clothes.
