Robins Egg/Black/Cream Tweed

I love this tweed because of the “Mad Men” 60’s vibe!  The colors are robin’s egg blue, cream and black.  The hand has a lovely drape not stiff at all.  Make a sheath dress, fitted blazer or pencil skirt.

White linen always reminds me of a vacation at the beach.  This is a light weight but not quite hanky weight linen with a soft sheen.  Sew a camp shirt or a pretty pleated skirt for summer.
