It was love at first sight when this whimsical fish print from Nanette Lepore arrived at Apple Annie Fabrics. I created a skirt from this 100% silk crepe beauty using Vogue #2745, a dress pattern that I morphed into a skirt. With its shaped hem begging for a narrow serged edge, I engaged my trusty old Elna Pro5DC threaded with Maxi-lock Stretch in my upper looper to create a floaty lettuce edged hem. The horizontal fine-line striped top is made from a ponte knit taking this ensemble to a new level with a mixed prints look! Burdastyle #117 from 10/12 is the pattern I used for the top.
