Bristol…what a quickie.<\/p>\n

This was my first time making up a pattern from Colette’s offshoot Seamwork Magazine<\/a>. All their patterns are intended to take under 3 hours to put together, and I can definitely say that’s the case for Bristol (not counting cutting, of course). I had this medium-weight cotton in stash from a Gorgeous Fabrics binge a couple years ago, and I thought the big, bold floral on black would make for a very wearable but fun skirt. The elastic waistband was a bit of a headache, but probably would have been less so if I’d taken my time a bit more. But hey, what I can I say? INSTANT GRATIFICATION. I also love the kangaroo pocket at the front. It’s very handy for stashing my phone (or knitting, which inspired endless glee amongst my coworkers).<\/p>\n

This was also my first time working with a downloadable pattern that didn’t totally suck, and that’s entirely due to the fine folks at FedEx Kinko’s helping me print it out on the large-format printer. Not having to tape together a million pieces of letter-size paper really takes a lot of the rage out of the project, I’ll tell you. It’s enough to make me re-qualify my stance on the things: Downloadable Patterns — Not Even Once<\/del> Only If They Come in Large-Format.<\/p>\n

And…you guessed it… another Wardrobe Architect project complete! 5 down, 8 to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
