Signature Style (PR&P Week 4)

This is the third time I've sewn along with the "Signature Style" week at Project Run and Play. (The first time is here. The second time is here.)

Here's how I described aspects of my "style" last season: "comfort (knits), upcycling, classic silhouettes, shortened bodices, applique, and muted colors."

I'd say that's still mostly true.

"Muted colors" must've meant mauve and gray because that's my favorite color scheme for the girl. But I'm starting to use more bold colors, too.

And of course I'd add "vintage" to that list!

Here's my Signature Style look for Season 7!

Details:

Pattern:  shirt -- Maggie Mae by Shwin Designs; pants -- Sunki leggings by Figgy's Patterns; hat -- Fedora Hat Pattern by Elegants & Elephants

Fabric: shirt -- upcycled stretch cotton blend from a hand-me-down shirt of my sister's; pants -- stretch medium-weight denim from my stash; hat -- upcycled twill from a hand-me-down skirt

Notions: I used vintage brown bobble buttons for the back. (My signature style definitely includes vintage things.)

Size: 2 (shirt); 4/5 (leggings) for added ease and growth room; Medium (fedora) 

Modifications: Added piping to the yoke seam on the Maggie Mae tunic. Shortened the length of the tunic (but left plenty of room for the hem to be lengthened).

Thoughts: I love, love, love every piece! I've been waiting to sew up the Maggie Mae for a while with this specific shirt upcycle in mind. I'll be sewing this pattern again. I may try to line the whole thing next time.

And the fedora and leggings are wonderfully versatile and will work with several different looks, as you'll see next week. (Hint!)
