Posted on June 30, 2020Author chlothingPosted in Made!, Pattern Testing

Jennifer Lauren Handmade Vielle Top (Pattern Test)

I haven’t made many things from Jennifer Lauren Handmade before – she has quite a lot of dress patterns and I am not that into making dresses. However, when she asked for testers for the Vielle top, I jumped at the chance. It’s the sort of top I wear a lot and is quite versatile.…

Threadbare Garments is a new pattern company and the Taos Top was their first pattern. This was my pattern test version, in view A, which is described as a mock neckband.

Having previously tested the Molly Tee (which is already a TNT for me!), I was excited to test the Phoebe Flares also from Pattern Union. This time I went slightly away from the pattern and made pleats on the sides of the pants instead of gathers. While I didn’t get the sewing around the corners…

I was lucky enough to help Beth from Sew DIY test the Lela Skirt recently. This is a relaunched of the Baseball Skirt with extending sizing (YES!) and several additional views. I made mine in a viscose remnant from Tessuti’s remnants table. It has a nice drape and will be perfect for summer. I like…
