Summer Sewing Challenge - Express Yourself in Linen

Tailored Linen Suit and Shoes

The lapel, sleeve cuffs, button holes and buttons are all embelished with embroidery...

I was so excited to find this contest! What a great excuse to treat myself to a new outfit. This exposed me to several “firsts”… this is my first suit…the first time I have worked with linen… and my first time to cover shoes! Thanks to the latest issue of Threads Magazine, I was able to do a decent job of matching my shoes to my suit! It was a time consuming labor of love! I used Vogue pattern 8543 and embelished it all over with embroidery…including the shoes!

    I can't believe there are no comments on your creation yet.
    I think it is amazing, the embroidery is not over the top even if it is all over! Wonderful creation!

    This whole outfit is awesome. I never knew you would cover shoes like that! How did you learn the technique?

    What issue was the article for covering shoes? I have most of the magazines, but I can't remember the issue no.
