first scout top & vintage shorts

i recently made this top using the scout pattern (from grainline studio), a wonderfully basic woven tee that sews up quick.  this was actually supposed to be a test (the pretty rayon fabric was only $1.50 a yard!) but it turned out totally wearable.  with a couple of adjustments i'll be ready to make another version with the silk crepe de chine that arrived in the mail yesterday! 

i'm also wearing a pair of shorts i made last summer.  i was on a mad hunt for the perfect vintage high-waisted shorts pattern and eventually gave up.  apparently i considered these a flop, but i pulled them out the other day and can't find much wrong with them.  the fit is pretty perfect.  shaped with darts and a (mostly) hidden zipper in the back.  i think i'd better make another pair.

  1. What a great summer look; and it all fits wonderfully too! I wore a Scout tee with high-waisted shorts yesterday and discovered the ensemble's perfection- tuck in during the day and untuck after dinner. :) Looking forward to the silk kitty Scout!

  2. thanks! it took me a bit to get used to the high-waisted-tuck-in, but now i love it! the Scout is so versatile, especially in soft, drape-y fabrics. many more to come, i'm sure. :-)
