I joined Seamwork because I was smitten with the Rory Top. I therefore present my second version (see the first here). Again, this is a size 4, albeit my bust measurement puts me in a 6. I changed only two things: I straightened the side seams taking off 2 cm at the waist (8 cm … More Another Seamwork Rory Top
This is just a very quick post of a tote ( Pop the Corks Bag from CUT magazine #12). I made as a birthday present. I used the same modified pattern and instruction like for my first version. I made this tote entirely from my stash, I already had everything apart from the interfacing … More Another Tote
After I joined Seamwork for the year and began research on the first patterns I wanted to make, I read that several people had cancelled their subscription, some of them because they didn’t like Seamwork’s drafting. This made me a bit nervous- did I just spend so much money on patterns that will be a … More Seamwork Kimmy
There really is not much to say about this tee. It is my third version of Elbe Textiles’s free Sage Tee pattern (see version 1 and 2 here), the fabric is from Frau Tulpe. That’s it.
It took me quite a few days of contemplating after I had received their Newsletter but in the end I joined Seamwork because they reduced their premium membership to 80 dollars a year. A few weeks prior to that I had started keeping an eye out for Seamwork because I stumbled across the Rory Top … More Seamwork Rory
Summer of linen! This skirt went straight from the machine into heavy rotation. The linen is very airy – perfect for the current heatwave. I bought the linen in a local fabric shop where it was advertised as a linen/viscose mix but I am pretty sure there is not much (if not none at all) … More Kelly Skirt
My husband recently took me on a daytrip to the city of Jena and he even researched possible fabric shops for me to visit. The one I ended up in wasn’t on his list but was discovered by accident because I liked the look of the street it is on. Nevermind, Kabuff is the name … More Purse
Today: Menswear special! Unfortunately, too many fabric designers believe that women and women shopping for children are their main target group. I have found this to be particularly true for patterned fabrics. You usually get stripes, dots, flowers or kids prints. Where are the geometric patterns? Where are abstract ones in a variety of colour … More A tale of two t-shirts
On my quest for the perfect t-shirt I think I found a new contestant for the first place. I previously tried Odette by La Maison Victor (only fine when I was pregnant), a copy from a Dorothy Perkins Top (fine, although highly dependent on the right fabric choice), the Bronte Top by Jennifer Lauren (great) … More Liv Business by Pattydoo
Just a very quick post about my second Tulip Skirt. I liked my first version so much that I immediatly went on a fabric quest for another one. I ended up buying a flax/viscose mix from Stoff & Stil. Since the fabric is thinner and has more drape than my first version’s heavy cotton the … More Second Tulip Skirt by Sew Over It
