A Pink Lady and a 'London Sew Social' Giveaway

Here's a crazy bird lady. 'Sings With Swallows' she's called. And that's so not true. I could never be a crazy bird lady, see I have this rather strained relationship with birds. Buzzards in particular. Twice I've been attacked by one of these beasts during a run. Yikes. And, I prefer my swallows printed on a fabric and my chickens on a plate. So, no, I'm not a bird person (the same thing goes for cats and dogs. I'm more of a turtle person....)

I do love me a good swallow print fabric, though. Especially this gorgeous crepe version from The Sweet Mercerie. It was surprisingly easy to work with and I just love how this blouse turned out. The pattern is from a Scandinavian sewing magazine (sorry). I've paired the blouse with a pair of cropped cross front pink pants. It's a Burda pattern 6770 - and that yummy pink crepe is also from The Sweet Mercerie. Pink Lady.

So simple - skirt and top

There's really not much to say about this outfit. It's so very simple, so very comfy and so very cute imo.

The skirt has side seam pockets and elastic waist and the top is just an easy pull over thing with a gathered skirt - nothing fancy.

Both fabrics - linen and cotton - are from Stofdepotet. I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking.
