A Rashguard
Weirdly, although I rarely swim, I love making swimming suits, and always have. A long, long time ago, in more innocent and probably kinder times — and times before everyone carried a camera in a phone — the people I … Continue reading

My Kind of Tunic: Vogue 8854
A lot of people have complained about the un-inspirational drawing on this envelope. Not me! As soon as I saw it, I knew this pattern was made for me. It’s taken months to sew it up, but my first reaction … Continue reading

Sailor Cycling
I cycle, and I like to be as visible as possible. Bright red, screaming orange, and hideous yellow-green, yes, ma’am, you’re my friends. But a boxy, horrible utility vest? Not so much. So I got a hold of two IKEA … Continue reading

Vogue 8737 – One Pattern Piece Top
OK, it isn’t literally one pattern piece, since there’s a single facing piece, too, but close enough . . . The front and back are identical, and the only “trick” to the construction is that the front and back pattern … Continue reading

Twister Dress
OK, it’s completely wacky, but how could I resist? It’s the BurdaStyle Twister Dress. There is only one pattern piece; it’s placed on the fold of your fabric. Here’s what the pattern looks like: The angle at the extreme left … Continue reading

Tunic/Tank Dress from BaseWear One Pattern 622
I’d originally planned to make a wrap jacket as part of my Threads wardrobe plan, but changed my mind, and decided to make a couple of sleeveless tunics instead, figuring that I’d get much more use out of them in … Continue reading
