Spooky sews- Swoon Ethel

Image
My first structured bag, the Swoon Ethel (another free pattern). After a couple of years of sewing with stretch knits, I'm revisiting wovens and I've gotten a lot better, lol. This bag uses sew-in foam interfacing for the structure. Zombie pin up fabric from JoAnn. I've started buying whole bolts of SF101 interfacing (the light woven interfacing used for most bags) whenever it goes on sale or I have a great coupon. It's very narrow so you use tons of yards of it in each bag. 

Late summer sews- another Halla Stardust, Halla Bliss

Image
Short sleeved Halla Stardust in RockerByeDestash cotton/Lycra zombie and brain prints. The sleeveless version fit really well through the shoulders but this has some extra width it seems. Probably something weird I did while doing the full bust adjustment. Size 18 with FBA, shirt length with pocket and color blocking. Halla Bliss dress in Zenith & Quasar diatom print athletic brushed poly. Contrast bands are heavy heathered ABP. I should have sized up in the waist and arm bands using the heavy ABP, but the yoke sits really nicely using it. Size 18 with gathered bodice and ruched waistband options. I think this is a half circle skirt?
