Hi there, I have finally worked out a style of dressing that is easy and comfortable and looks as good as it feels.

I had bought some navy and white spotted linen last year from Pitt Trading. My initial thought was to make a dress but that really is not practical anymore. So I hopped on the trend of what I call pyjama dressing matching button up top and pull on elastic waist pants.

I used at pattern for the top that I have made before it’s the Style Arc Archie shirt .

I have a dear friend who visits me and she offered to cut out my fabric. Then she returned with her machine and helped me to sew as well. Together we got all the interfacing done and the pants together and the top partially sewn.

I got her to cut the pants on the fold so I had only the inside leg seam to do. I had sewn everything but the button holes and when my carer came on Tuesday I got her to help me by sewing on the buttons and pressing the outfit.

I wore it to a book club outing we went to the Sydney opera house to see the dictionary of lost words it was wonderful.

We had a lovely day and my friends were wonderful in helping me to manage it all .

My new normal means that I am now unable to stand from my wheelchair . So assistance is needed, I am unable to use the disabled bathroom by myself now so I need someone to help me if I am not home. A change that is very disappointing.

I have also got this exact outfit cut out ,but in silk ,so hopefully I can get it done this week.

I hope you are able to be creative,

Sue🙂
