And the...skirt?

 The fabric used for the previous pair of tights just didn't seem suitable for a shirt.

Now, reason would say if it's not suitable for a shirt, it's even less suitable for a skirt, but here we are

One. More. Time.

 This is the last pair of tights I plan to make at the moment, although I'm sure I'll make more in the future

Nothing new to say about the construction of these

Although the pale color (not sure if I've had pale purple tights before?) did make me wonder if some hypothetical future tights could have designs painted on them before being sewn.  Someday.

And the Shirt

 This gray stripe knit fabric was not 60", so the amount left to eke out a shirt wasn't as generous.

New Look 6068 view B, however, has very narrow shoulders and a back seam

  so it worked.

Mostly.

Hey guess what I made?

 I'm almost through the stack of fabric I picked out to make tights (and then shirts from the leftovers.)

But not yet.

However, there's not much left to say about the construction of these cut and sewn tights, so here they are

And Again, Part 2

 Making a pair of tights from a 2 yard length of 60" wide knit fabric leaves a sizable amount of usable cloth, so I wondered if there was enough left from the pair of tights I'd just made to make a matching shirt.

The answer is a solid Yes!

A solid, gray, but usefully neutral yes.

 

And Again

 Hey hey, another pair of cut and sewn tights made from a Walmart precut 

"Medium weight gray" was indeed something missing from my tights assortment.

As Easy as 1,2,3: 3

 So, I made the tights

And then I made the turtleneck

And then I still had quite a bit of that pale pink (with subtle gray heathering, which is why I used gray thread) rib knit left, so I decided...why not make a skirt?

I don't generally make skirts from knits, because that seem so...indulgent?  There are some garments that can only be made from knits, and skirts--especially swirly swooshy skirts--are not one of those.

But I really wanted to use up a lot of the remaining fabric...plus...the idea of a possible outfit of shirt + skirt + tights all made from the same fabric just seemed funny.

So I grabbed McCall's 3185 from 1987

and chose view C, the shortest view.

This skirt...is not short.

As Easy as 1,2,3: 2

 The next most logical thing to make from the pale pink, slightly heathered rib knit was a turtleneck

As Easy as 1,2,3: 1

 When I found this fabric in the Walmart precut bin, I knew I wanted to make a pair of sewn tights from it.

I cut them out a few days ago and finally sewed them yesterday:

Floral Cascade Bomber

 Even with the need to fussy cut for pattern matching, there was still quite a bit of that floral and stripe knit left from the previous project.  I wanted to use enough of it that whatever was left wouldn't take up much storage space, so...hey...how 'bout another jacket?

I used Stretch & Sew 1027, which I'd traced and modified a few years ago to make a gift.  Even before starting the project, I wasn't sure if I'll keep this jacket, so I wanted to make it in a size that could suit more people than the New Look bomber I usually make.

It certainly used up a good amount of remaining fabric.

Floral Cascade Moto

 I really should stay away from the precut bins at Walmart.

But.

Since I so far have not, I'm trying to make more of an effort to sew at least some of it right after I get it.

So, this cloth I got 4 yards (for $4) of on Sunday

I turned it into another KwikSew 3764 by Tuesday night
