Burda 6579 Pieced Top
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

Like a Burda
. . . but not. I made a version of BurdaStyle 12-2020-127, but using a fhandwoven wrap. Details are on my weaving blog at this link.

Vogue 1486 Crop Top Muslin
Most of the reviews I’ve seen for this pattern are for the skirt. I don’t know; it just seems overdone to me. But I loved the idea of that top! Could it be my dream top — like a t-shirt, … Continue reading

Another Sweatshirt Mash-Up
This one’s a frankenpattern involving a Jalie collar and the tunic body from Vogue 8854, which I’ve previously also mashed-up with the Talvikki top. Just pretend it’s dancing! The angle’s all wrong, but the tunic’s just fine, really!

Talvikki Mash-Up
I bought the Named Talvikki pattern strictly for the neckline, because I didn’t want to draft it myself. This was just as well, since the neckline was the only part of the pattern that came close to fitting me. But … Continue reading

V1642 Sweatshirting Done Differently
It makes very little sense, even in ordinary times, for me to wear anything other than sweatshirts at home. I live with a herd of cats, all of whom have highly functional claws, and with whom I interact all the … Continue reading

Kwik Sew 3463: Skinny Pocket Version
This post marks the beginning of “historic” posts from 2014, before I took a long break from blogging: Once I’d made one tunic, I made another and then another, each time varying the pockets and and the neck bands. This … Continue reading

Color-Blocked Tunic with Hidden Pocket
(This is a “catch-up” post from long before now.) The past few year has just evaporated for me, with lots and lots going on that kept me far from my sewing room. I’m looking forward to spending a lot more … Continue reading
