project sewn: Era Design Challenge

Well, I barely made it to this week’s Project Sewn Challenge, one spot from getting voted off, whew. I’m happy to be able to have at least one more week of fun (and struggles, too).

I figured because I was born in the 70s that it would be my perfect choice for the Project Sewn: Era Challenge.  Yes, I just barely squeaked by in late December of ’79, but still.  I love the clothing styles of the 70s and it seems like it’s definitely coming back around in the fashion world.  I knew I wanted to make a pair of jeans and the rest was a big question mark.  I had sketched out the pants and waited around for the perfect fabric for the top to find me.

I’m going to do this week a little different.  Today I’m flashing the whole outfit, but I’ll do a separate post for the top and the bottoms.  I feel like there’s just too much to cover to mash it all into one post. Besides, I worked so hard on these, they each deserve their own post.  So there! Plus there’s a limit to how many pictures and paragraphs you can use for the Project Sewn site and pictures are my favorite part, I want them all!

Hope you’ll be interested to read along.  ♥  And please stop by today to start voting on the Project Sewn site.

    When that shirt crumbles off your body, can I have it? That is my very favorite Liberty print! I don’t know if I would’ve had the courage to cut into it. I absolutely adore your look!

    Anna!!! You were meant to be born in the 70s! Okay, maybe that sounded weird, but you look so awesome in that top and jeans – you totally modernized them and are owning the whole outfit! Such beautiful photos too, and I can’t wait to hear all the dirty details in your next posts :).

    Querida Anna

    Descobri o seu blog a poucos dias e estou adorando. Sou brasileira, dona de casa e mãe de dois adolescentes. Amo costura, mas meus trabalhos andavam meio parados. Depois que vi suas costuras me animei e voltei a costurar.
    Obrigada por partilhar,

    Abraços
    Shirley

  23. So beautiful! Looks amazing on you.

  24. Love those pants! Traditional jeans are hard to make, but the trouser style looks great. I didn’t quite make it into the 70’s but I’m pretty sure I should have been, too 🙂

  25. Again, I would totally wear this outfit. I’ve never sewn a pair of jeans before… looking forward to your future posts about this outfit…

  26. definitely very 70s! but it looks great on you.
