Pattern cutting à la 1912 and a Victorian-inspired waistcoat
Historical sewing and classic tailoring are close relatives. So, I decided to combine a block from 1912 with classic tailoring methods to make a waistcoat.
Ruffled skirt with Ottobre 1/2011 15. Cocos
I made a ruffled skirt with Ottobre design 1/2011 15. Cocos. I used the same Fabriking bamboo French terry that I used to make a jacket for my son.
Vintage style dress with B5813 hack
This is my B5813 hack with wide v-neckline, button-up closure and lace trim details. On my second use of this pattern I also made changes to the fit.
Mönsterfabriken Sara trousers
I practiced my trouser-fitting skills and made the Sara chinos by Mönsterfabriken using cotton chambray fabric. Who doesn't love trousers with big pockets!
Victorian blouse M2045
I love Victorian fashion and this time I collaborated with Minerva Crafts and made this M2045 Victorian blouse with puffed sleeves and pintucks.
My Mary Poppins inspired blouse with B6563
After I saw Emily Blunt wearing the beautiful dotty blouse in the film Mary Poppins returns I decided to make myself one with B6563 pattern by Gertie.
Sewing bikinis for Mother and Daughter
I made two bikinis: one for myself using pattern from Suuri Käsityö 6/2018 and one for my daughter using Ottobre design 3/2018.
Flower power dress for my daughter
I made a 70s inspired dress out of Flowerpower denimlook sweatshirting that I was gifted by Zicca fabrics. Ruffles, denim and flowers work well together!
Smoky tee for my hubby
I made my husband a tee-shirt from the book Sy! Urban collection by Jenny Hellström. The Mereen "Usva" cotton jersey was perfect for this make.
Drafting my orange ramie dress (a FREE pattern)
It was time for me to practice my pattern drafting skills and I decided to make a vintage-inspired fit-and-flare dress out of rusty orange ramie fabric.
