the shirt

                   

shirt - self made

pants - thrifted

i've finally found a perfect shirt pattern

after years of search

..

so far, i tried bunch of different patterns

even drafted one or two myself

some of them looked nice

but not a single one was quite what i was looking for

(and i wanted something that looked 

like that mom's shirt from the '70s

that i often wear, and that you can see here, here or here)

..

and then it hit me!

if i want to have a proper '70s shirt

i should probably use a '70s pattern

..

fabric is rayon chiffon

and i thought it's going to be hell working with it

but i guess it was my lucky day

everything worked like a charm

and this shirt is one of my neatest makes to date

..

and i kind of like the pants too

maybe i'll sew a similar pair

as these are not in the best shape..

 i bought them last winter

when i was freezing my ass off at the excavations site

they were cheap and made out of wool..

i make the strangest choices when it comes to my excavations outfits

can't think of anything more unpractical to wear while working in dirt

maybe a chiffon gown?

bear costume?

atmospheric diving suit?

i'm open for suggestions

as i'll leave for new round of excavations in may
