Let's complete the outfit from last Monday. Here is another look at the picture:
This is Lafayette 148. I have no idea if the jeans and shirt are from the same label but I would suspect that they are. Here is a couple of ideas for the shirt:
This is the Grainline Studio Archer Button Up pattern. View A is a classic shirt pattern.
This is the Liesl & Co Classic Shirt pattern. As the name implies, this is a classic button-up shirt pattern but with a little twist. It has cup sizing which for some can be a wonderful addition to a pattern.
Here is a couple of jean options:
This is the Ginger Skinny Jeans pattern by Closet Core. If you prefer a slim fitting jean, this one is highly rated by most people in the sewing world.
This is the Merchant & Mills Heroine Straight Leg jean pattern. It has a looser fit than the skinny above. I am all about options here.
All of these patterns are hiding out in my pattern stash. They are fairly basic patterns that can be used over and over. I think I really need to get working on fitting a pair of jeans. I have a very hard time finding jeans that fit. Remember once those patterns have been fitted, you can change the style lines to whatever you desire.
I am an affliliate for the company that has been linked these patterns above. I would get a small commission if you choose to purchase.
Hope you are inspired to create some fabulous basics for yourself.
Happy Stitching!
Hi! I'm a sewing/fashion blogger. I have a question I'm hoping you might be able to answer. I've altered pants before, but never sewn them from scratch. I do have the patterns, though. Any advice on how to sew them? Thanks
