10,000 Waves




This is yet another view of Jalie 2806, this time with gathered foldover and banded hem.

The material is sproing-y ITY knit from Cali Fabrics; the waves are deep blue. On a wardrobing note, this will replace the colorful printed top in my work module.

Years ago I read an interview with sewist Nancy Murakami where she says she's a "person in black, or PIB." It was probably back in 2010 or 2011, and  wish I could find it to share. I try to remember it whenever I feel pressured to add more color to my wardrobe.

My house is full of color, and I enjoy it. But when it comes to clothing I'm happiest as a Person in Mostly Neutrals.
