The last few weeks have been very busy. With school holidays fast approaching I wanted to finish as much as I could, especially sewing from eco printed fabrics. I have made few new tops, pouches and cushion covers. Here are the blouses, all from silk.

This one is a raglan sleeve with a V neckline to complement the pattern on the printed fabric and the lighter colour in the middle.
I prefer to print fabric first and then sew, I feel I can work better around the print in this way.

This is silk pongee, the back is longer and made from two slightly different fabrics.

The last one is with cap sleeves and a wider fit.
So beautiful!

Many thanks, Jo!
gorgeous!!!!!
You take eco printing, and the subsequent sewing into garments, to such an elegant level. I am always in awe π
Will be thinking of you while in Portland…… and will pass along any interesting tid bits I learn.

Julie, I am a born seamstress, which is good and bad at the same time..:).
I can only see the good in it! I wish I was a born seamstress! π
I wish i enjoyed sewing! Beautiful hand-made!
Just beautiful!
Do you steam the plants on to the fabric? And, if so, what plants do you use?
Thanks,
Sarah
