I am now on the hunt for the perfect pair of shorts / trousers! I find these hardest to fit, as my waist and hips are at least two sizes difference, and I have a flat seat. This means all the elastic-back-flat-front pants look truly awful on me. Seamwork Dorian has a flat back and…
I am not a dress person, but maybe I am a this-dress person! This is the Closet Core Patterns Charlie Caftan in a floaty fabric that I think is from Pitt Trading, but I can’t be fully sure. I cut this carefully, given the pattern is a bit geometric and was really pleased with how…
Living in Sydney but not growing up here means that I am often out of step (mentally) with the weather. Having lived in less warm places for all except the last six years, I am forever asking whether I might need a jacket or cardigan “just in case”. In a place where it often doesn’t…
My pursuit of the perfect v-neck tee continues! The #SewcialistsTNTee challenge gave me the push to try another pattern. This is the Rowan Tee from Megan Nielsen. I used a cotton jersey in navy and white stripes from Maai Design. This tee has negative ease around the bust, with only a small amount around the…
Part of my #MakeNine2020 and an overall quest for me personally has been to find my perfect t-shirt pattern. A TNTee, if you will (so sorry…). Given this week is SewcialistsTNTee midi challenge, it seemed like the perfect time to document my progress so far! I have had one or two ready to wear t-shirts…
Thrilled to find myself with another TNT pattern in the Seamwork Aberdeen, particularly as it meets my MakeNine goal of using my subscription patterns more regularly. This is my third Aberdeen (see the others here) and this time I modified the back to be a much higher round neck, rather than the v on both…
Every now and again, you have a mental image of how you will look in something and it could not be further from the reality when you make it. As part of Mission TNTee, I recently made the Mimi G Saldana Tee. I should be up front and say I don’t think this is in…
I have made various Cashmerette patterns and have always liked the result. I am not sure why it took so long to make this one, but I think I thought it was a bit too similar to the top version of the Appleton. In reality. I actually much prefer this top. I like the idea…
I am on a mission to find the perfect t-shirt (more on that later). One of the patterns that came up a LOT in the Sewcialists TNT month was the Hey June Union Street Tee – so I went with the consensus and gave it a try! Here are my two versions: The first is…
I have had a Seamwork subscription since it started, but haven’t used it as much as I would like. I have made a few things (enough to keep it), but have always had certain patterns on the list and never got around to making them. I have no idea why this is the case, because…
