This unusual sewing pattern has been featured on my blog for a very long time. As early as December, 2013. Right from the very beginning it's been a favourite. I've made myself at least eight of these tops in a great variety of fabrics: merino/lycra, viscose/elastane, cotton/elastane and rayon/elastane. It's really important to understand that all fabrics for my samples are two-way stretch jersey (four-way in the US) with some elastane content (lycra/spandex). My favourites are the merino/elastane, with a soft, draped handle in both red and black. You can get yourself a copy of this amazing sewing pattern, here on my website: The Patent Blouse Sizes XS-XXL. Keep Reading...
It's been a long time in the making, the Morticia Skirt pattern. Finally it's available as a PDF download in 9 sizes (Sizes 6-22) in the one document download. It's been designed for woven fabric with a minimum of 2cm (¾") garment ease. When you print the A0 pattern, you'll find all sorts of information on the sheet to help you select the right size and lay-up and cut your skirt pattern. There is also a set of sewing instructions. Very soon I'll be adding a post with those sewing instructions, along with photos and more detail. Keep Reading...
Saturday's #PatternPuzzle had a large number of pattern pieces, all used to make five different skirt patterns, that all make the same style of skirt - The Morticia Skirt. Many of the drafting methods used in these patterns are self-drafted with full instructions (no block required). If you don't fancy drafting this skirt pattern I've just added the eight panel Morticia Skirt Pattern to the website. :) Keep Reading...
Looking a lot like an origami bat, this weeks self-drafted #PatternPuzzle comes from some of the greatest minds of the 1960's - the inventors filing patents for the next best thing in clothing production. July 2019 - this pattern is now available as a PDF download on this website - The Patent Blouse Sizes XS-XXL
