The retired wardrobe

I thought being retired I would have more time, silly me. Anyway we have well and truly cooled down in Sydney , its been really cold ( well for here anyway) and my wardrobe is seriously lacking. My clothing needs have really changed since I retired. I need casual relaxed clothes and I have a serious lack of these. So what to sew.

We went to Tasmania earlier this year and I made the Cashmerette pembroke dress and tunic. I seriously love this pattern.

I made the size 20 in the bust and graded out to size 24 at the hips. I really like the fit because I hate clothes that are 2 clingy.

Don't you just love the outdoor bath. the fabric , I think the fabric was from Tessuti's a couple of years ago. It is a lovely knit that has quite a bit of body, so comfortable to wear.
I plan to make quite a few of these in the next few weeks. I want to make a few with the turtle neck as well. Here are some fabrics I intend to use:


I love Cashmerette patterns they fit so well.

Hopefully I will keep blogging. Happy Sewing !
