Sew With Heart | Preparation | The Beignet Skirt from Colette

I cant help but feel terribly excited when the sun is shining and I am in the house staring at my wardrobe knowing I have clothes to make! Luckily I havent stepped outside to feel the freezing cold which would make me don 4 pairs of tights, a pair of jeans, a fugly jumper and a giant coat. For today I am dreaming of spring time dresses, chiffon blouses and gorgeous skirts.






I ordered the Beignet pattern AND my fabric (finally) after weeks of deliberation and searching for inspiration I decided Denim was the way to go. However, I may end up making that skirt too. 






Here is my fabric selection - I have been watching this type of fabric in my ebay for about a month before i made my decision!



This is my inspiration notebook also :) The picture of the denim skirt is by a Flair to remember on Flickr, i love her style. 



I had narrowed it down to my two favourites and thought I would get a lot more wear out of the denim.
Very excited! just need to get the muslin ready!


More beignet inspiration for you!!....




Lots of love Claire  xo

I've just had a practise run for Beignet and I'm pleased at how it's turned out. Collette patterns are great. I've just got to choose fabric for my 'proper' one now. I love the idea of your skirt in denim - I can't wait to see it.
