Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I was in a store and saw an eyelet suit. I had to have one too! Lesson learned: don’t cheap out on the lining. I put in a cotton blend lining. It don’t move and makes the jacket feel tight. I like photographing my creations. It makes me view myself and my creation objectively and gives me self-confidence to wear my creations.

I knew it was your creation! :D I already know your path and grass, I guess… It’s lovely. I like eyelet cotton, especially white! :D – And the pattern of the skirt goes perfectly to that material!

The outfit is lovely. Perfect for summer at work. I’m learning from you girls here…no cotton lining, don’t cheap out on the lining. Thanks

thanks for the close-up. it’s lovely! when i was little i had an eyelet bed skirt, and i always wanted to make a skirt for myself like that out of it. i don’t think my mom would have been happy about that though :)

Thanks for all the comments. I uploaded a close of of the fabric. I did the cotton lining because I was CHEAP! I was a D-ASS.

so pretty! i’d love to see a closer shot of the fabric too. i’ve never lined with cotton or cotton blend, but have been tempted to at times when i’d like a cute pattern. is it not a problem when you line other fabrics with cotton?
