Gingham and Seersucker

Alright guys ! This challenge was about good ole GINGHAM !

I have to admit when I first read the challenge I wasn\’t that thrilled …I mean most people refer to gingham as \”oh you mean that tablecloth looking material ?\” So over coming that was a feet in itself ! It took me a while to decide on what I wanted make .. I decided the only way I was going to get any kind of Idea was to take it to the fabric store …needless to say my Joanns and Hancock had nothing ! I live Birmingham so there where no other options but online !! When I got online I saw diffrent types of gingham but still NOTHING came to me …then I saw this :

Rihanna wore this pink gingham power suit from the Altuzarra’s Spring 2015 collection to MAC Cosmetics premiere !! I WAS IN LOVE !! And it was seersucker !!! I had my inspiration ! I decide to do a seersucker pants suit (because quite frankly I\’m all dressed out ) .
During the process of making this outfit I took a trip down memory lane …
,. I remember growing up, my mom would frantically run around town trying to find my brother a seersucker suit for Easter . She would luck up so etimes and find one ( which would then cost her a arm and a leg ) and other times she wouldn\’t be so lucky and would have to settle for a traditional \”Easter Suit\”. I remember eventually they began making seersucker suits for men , it was over then because both my brother AND dad would Both have one !!!

One thing I never saw however, was a Women\’s Seersucker suit !!! so when I saw Rihanna\’s version it was on !!

Here is the pattern used :
