Blue and white batik co-ord set

 Blue and white batik co-ord set


The shirt uses Simplicity 9200 View C with the sleeve shortened to elbow length and the culottes are adapted from New Look 6438, with my crotch curve, an elastic waist and front side pocket with a curved instead of a slash this time (because I fancied it!)

The fabric was a remnant picked up from a charity shop (thrift store/op shop) which had some areas where the blue had run a little or not quite taken but I've managed the layout by having the worst areas on the inside of the waistband, pockets etc.

The blue came off on my hands like it does sewing denim, so I think it is indigo and is likely to fade when washing.

Batik trousers for the heat

 Multicolour cotton lawn batik trousers, have side pockets and adjustable waist

Not at all my usual style, but the fabric is lovely and thin for this hot weather
The front and back


I wear them with a plain navy tee and flat sandals!
