Two Gingers and a Renfrew

If you weren't into sewing that title would sound a little weird.

Here's what I've been up to...

Ginger Skirt #1 

pattern: Colette Ginger Skirt

fabric: sueded twill in Charcoal from Fashion Fabrics Club

I was seriously in need of a go-with-everything skirt, and this works for me!  I'm going to toss out a few ill-fitting skirts in my closet, not naming any names, black cord Gap skirt. 

 

 Ginger Skirt #2

Colette Ginger Skirt  pattern

fabric: Amy Butler Sun Glow in Lake Home Decor Sateen

For this version, I was inspired by Sara at Sew Sweetness.  I loved this Ginger she made in a home decor weight fabric.  I had to eliminate the front seam on the pattern because I didn't want any mistakes matching that distinct pattern. 

 

Renfrew Top

pattern: Sewaholic Renfrew Top 

fabric: interlock knit from JoAnn Fabrics

The fabric for this top is an exact match for my Beignet Skirt.

I bought them at the same time, it was one of the only decent colors I could find, but I just happen to love deep red.

Both patterns were SO super easy and fast!  I would recommend these two patterns to anyone, even a beginner.  The directions are very clear and they can be whipped up in no time with many, many options for customization. 

Here are a few more photos because my tripod was working today!

Some of the outtakes were pretty funny, with Travis "helping" with the tripod.

 Happy Wednesday!
