Painapurra Creations – Butterick 5603 and Simplicity 2081

December 21, 2011

Hi Colette – Tracy here in Perth

(Remember me? – I made the Primaluna fuschia coat!)

Thanks for your comment on my blog – I’ve been meaning to send you pics of the Painapurra creations!
We call them the “Hawaiian Honeymoon” outfits.
I received the first lot of Painapurra with the aid of your gift voucher, then loved the texture & it’s amazing retro look so much, decided Paul had to have a shirt too!

Each year we get together with other Thunderbird car owners for a Pancake Breakfast at nearby Floreat Beach. Our outfits were a hit!
My dress is retro Butterick 5603 and Paul’s shirt is vintage Simplicity 2081 (a perfect match to his vintage Hawaiian shirt measurements).


Thanks again for the gorgeous fabric – it makes a striking statement

All the best til next time
Tracy
