Blue Cowl Top

Posted on July 24, 2024 by Noile

Although I am interested in fabric and construction, no one could reasonably accuse me of being interested in trends or in fashion, per se. Particularly in warm weather, for everyday wear, all I care about is being able to toss … Continue reading →

Burda 6579 Pieced Top

Posted on April 29, 2021 by Noile

A circle-style skirt like my Adri Vogue 1524 wastes a lot of fabric, which left enough to make this Burda top. So I did. Burda says it’s a one-spool “easy”, and technically it is, but naturally I had to complicate … Continue reading →
