Enter Grainline’s Scout Woven Tee numbers 5 and 6… I LOVE this pattern!
Number 5 is a present for a dear friend. It was sewn up in the red colourway of Capel, a Classic Tana Lawn from Liberty, which my friend and I selected from Tessuti in Melbourne. The top is currently on it’s way to country Victoria (where my friend lives). I accidentally deleted the photos before downloading them (duh!), so you’ll have do with admiring the fabric!
Number 6 is for me!
This gorgeous Liberty (again from Tessuti) was my Christmas present from Mr Blogless Anna, Miss A and Miss B. Present buying has never been a strong point for Mr Blogless Anna, so in December I insisted on a family outing to Tessuti. We arrived, I ushered them to the Liberty section and gave them their instructions. Using my swatch, the colours I wear, they were to selected and purchase 1.1m of Liberty without me seeing (I left the shop to run another errand).
Apparently, Miss A choose two fabrics, Miss B one and then Mr Blogless Anna had the deciding vote. Didn’t they do a fabulous job? Mr Blogless Anna was quite surprised at the cost. He had no idea fabric could be so expensive…
I’m thinking of starting up a Scouts Anonymous Group. Anyone need to join me?
Sign me up! I’m wearing one today. What’s the Liberty print?
You’re in! The Liberty is a tana lawn called Lesley. Tessuti are showing the pink colourway – http://www.tessuti-shop.com/products/lesleys-pink. I’ve uploaded a close up of my colourway here – http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajhewing/8514977616/in/photostream.
Beautiful! The Liberty prints are so deceiving at times. I thought it may have been the one that looks like paint spotches…
Hi, I’ve downloaded this pattern, and I think I might just bump it up the to-do list. In fact, I might just go and cut it out this afternoon. I love your Liberty version.
It is a reasonably quick and very satisfying sew. Not to mention so easy to wear. Looking forward to seeing your version.
Gorgeous!
Shucks 🙂
This looks rad! I love your necklace choice as well- it makes the Liberty pop!
Thanks. I’m learning to love and wear my accessories… It is definitely a work in progress!
Argh! You are not helping me resist buying patterns LOL. I think this would be perfect for my climate and I agree with Amanda. Fabulous necklace choice
If you do buy this pattern I expect you’ll be a Scounts Anonymous contender… Once you start, it’s very hard to stop! A mustard necklace… what’s not to love?!
Lovely, it’s such a great pattern!
It is a great pattern and I’m so pleased I’ve overcome my using my Liberty stash!
Well now I’ve seen yours I want one too! I’ve never done a woven tee before…
A woven tee is perfect for this ridiculously hot March Melbourne weather we are all enduring…
