Pom Pom Quarterly has released its Summer 2016 issue. Let's have a look at it, shall we?
Altair shawl. Pretty basic crocheted shawl.
Catchfly top. A wearable and flattering classic.
Olivette top & tunic. The asymmetry in this one is interesting, and the shaping is good.
Nouri sweater. This one has a certain relaxed elegance. I like the side detail, and it drapes beautifully.
Trailbreeze tank. The back shaping on this piece is much too mudflappy for my liking.
Tannery Falls tank. This one looks like its designer started out to make a potholder and just kept going.
Red Bull Isle tank. If I saw this one someone out in public, I would be trying to decide whether the top was designed this way or whether it was caught on itself.
Vaara top. The eyelet effect at the shoulders and detailing at the waist elevates this one above the usual basic tee.
Windlass top. I love the Aran detailing on this one, but I would nix the side vents and back mullet hem.
Thornett tank. This one has a lot going for it, but the way it bags and sags in the middle is so unfortunate. It's probably nothing some shaping and proper sizing wouldn't fix, and I do like the shaping of the straps and the side detail.
Hollis bag. This is a nice looking summer bag that has the simple, slightly rustic effect of a straw bag without straw's roughness and tendency to break and snag other items. I'd line it with a pretty fabric, and possibly also interfacing, to help it keep its shape. One can also sew pockets into a fabric lining.
Every part of this rewiew is so nice. Thanks to Orange Swan.
