I saw this blouse in a catalog I receive periodically. It has some really cool details, so I thought I'd share. Wednesday's Blouse

There's a skirt that goes with it as well. The pockets on the skirt are bat wing inspired.

I love the front of the top, but I would skip the bat appliqués on the back. They are too literal and push it way over the top. I adore bats, but going so literal makes things costumes.

The entire ensemble must be an homage to Wednesday Addams.

So cute! I like the skirt with the silkscreened bats, too. I hadn't gone through my copy of Pyramid yet, so thanks for posting that! :)

I have bat fabric in my stash, because DH bought it for me once for our anniversary. (I was thinking birthday, but realized it was far more likely for JA to have bat fabric in late September than late June! LOL) I used it on this wallhanging:



One of my very first sewing projects, in high school, was a bat costume with "ribbed" sleeves and a hood with furry ears. I was so proud of that thing! I even wore it to Rhetoric class in college once: We were supposed to give a speech in homage to someone or something, and I did bats.

Love your bat fabric and your wall hanging.
