Ten Tiltons!

A couple of projects ago, I realized I had completed several Tilton-inspired garments since last December. As I counted them, I was surprised to find that the next two that were in the works would bring the total to ten. It seems I've been breathing Tilton air for the past five months!

I love the artfulness of Katherine and Marcy's design sense. Their styles are relatively easy to sew, and comfortable to wear. I love how I can take a Tilton pattern and make it mine, either with a design change, or with paint. The sisters have helped me build a wardrobe that expresses my playful, off-the-beaten-path personality.

All of these garments are made using Vogue patterns designed by Marcy or Katherine. Most of them use fabric from marcytilton.com. A couple are painted using silk screens from Marcy.

Two jackets, two vests, and six tops. (Good thing I have jeans and pants to cover my lower half!) Many thanks to the Tilton sisters for the inspiration they have given me. My wish is that I have passed it along to my readers.

I'm working on a couple of woven top projects now, and a knit top is waiting to be hemmed. First, I need to make some shorts - a scary proposition, but I know I have to bite the bullet and dive in. There are no Tiltons planned in the immediate future, but those sisters always reside in my creative mind, so I know they'll show up again soon!
