ABdPM 60021: Pull A Col Revers “Muslin”
I used the wrong fabric, and so the garment’s a fail. But the pattern isn’t, and now I know how to put it together. Hey, that’s what a “muslin” is all about, right? Here’s the picture on the Au Bonheur … Continue reading

Vogue 8151: The Gathered “Dart” Version
I made this darted tee a little while ago in an attempt to get a better fit for my full bust. Shams commented that she generally skipped the darts, and just eases them in. I decided to try that when … Continue reading

SewStylish Tunic
There’s nothing like the phrase “month-long trip with one suitcase” for getting my attention, so I took one look at the “Comfy Cowl Top” article in the Winter 2010 SewStylish/Quick Stuff to Sew or Whatever — see note below — … Continue reading

Polo-Palooza!
I finished a whole slew of my very favorite fall/winter tops just before taking a recent trip. These are polos (those of us in the USA would probably call them “turtlenecks”) from BurdaStyle’s 09/2010 issue, pattern number 121: They’re all … Continue reading

Thanks to Shams, I’ve been introduced to the wonderful world of Fawbush’s, where I saw this marvelous vest from Angel: Here’s the description: Since 1985 Angel has been providing customers with unique, fashionable, high quality womens apparel. Their garments are … Continue reading

Burda “Polo” #121 09/2010
I’ve been dying to make the “trench jacket” from Burda’s 04/2008 issue since I first saw it on Cidell’s blog. After snagging that issue in Hungary, I was all gung-ho until it occurred to me that I’d never made a … Continue reading

Vogue 8151 – Darted Tee
I’ve never been a big fan of Sandra Betzina’s patterns; they seem a little, just slightly, on the matronly side. Really nice patterns, if you were inclined that way, but, I don’t know, blocky maybe? Maybe kind of matronly? And … Continue reading

Simplicity 5502 – Chevrons
This is about a 45 minute top — there’s nothing to it really, so whipping one up is really no problem. I love stripes, though, and that makes all the difference. Twenty minutes to sew, and a lifetime to match … Continue reading

Vogue 7997: The Real Thing
I recently made a “muslin” of this top, which you can read about here. (When you click, the new post will look the same, but if you scroll down, you’ll see it’s not.) This post is about the “real” top, … Continue reading

Vogue 7997: “Muslin” Version
It’s an off-the-shoulder tee (essentially), sleeveless, with 3/4ths sleeves, or with long sleeves: This one turned out to be a genuine muslin. I’m never going to finish it! Even so, I’m very, very happy with it: Yeah, my collar’s completely … Continue reading
