So, how do you feel about this color combination for fall?  I personally love pink and plum together.  I can appreciate the usual muted (or less intense) fall colors of russet, gold, brown, and pumpkin, but I sure do miss pinks and purples that are hard to find this time of year.  Since plum is a muted color, I think it works rather nicely for this season.

At the end of July I pulled together some early fall-ish feeling fabrics and the color plum is present in a lot of them.  Yay!  I can get inspired here.

Since I pulled out these fabrics I have been moving right along with my early fall ensembles.  Patience’s last ensemble, “Lovely in Lavender” came from the fabric that is third from the right and Gina’s new “Pink ‘n Plum” ensemble is made from the fabric that is first on the right.  I am also currently making something for Millie with the tiny purple rose print that is third from the left.

Here is my little princess, Gina modeling “Pink ‘n Plum” for you.

Gina’s hand knit cardigan is made with lace weight mohair/silk yarn to produce a sweater that is oh, so soft and light as a feather.  The bullion stitched rose bouquet motifs are mirrored which gives a more formal feel to this tiny piece.

Hand dyed rayon ribbon and fine English cotton Cluny lace add decorative touches to this simple dress.
