The Stitching Drought Is Over...

 I finally stitched something and finished it.  The finishing is the most important part. Here is a finished pair of pants:


This is the Love Notions Allegro Pants pattern.  I love this pattern and I almost have it perfect.  Maybe one or two more iterations.  Everything I have made from this pattern has really good.  You can see this first pair that I completed here.  Even though they are far from perfect, I wear them all the time.

I am going to make the short Allegro Skirt next.  I do not really intend for the muslin to be a wearable garment but if it is, I will be a very lucky person.

Sorry for the picture of hanging pants.  My photographer is away.  I will get a picture when I get a top made.

Happy Stitching!

Inspiration...Linen T-Shirt

 The hot days of summer are fast approaching and a linen t-shirt seems like something that would work well for summer.  Here is this great t-shirt:


This is the Lafayette 148 New York James V-Neck Linen Tee.  Price tag: $248.00.  Details: approximately 24-inches from shoulder to hem, v-neck, short sleeves, relaxed fit, pullover style, linen/cotton.  

I actually like the look of the entire outfit for summer.  I will concentrate on the top.   This top actually has matching ribbing which is most likely hard to find.  However if you concentrate on a linen top, there are options:


This is the Merchant & Mills The Tee pattern.  This pattern is designed for woven with a stretch rib trim.  Instructions are given to lengthen to a dress.  The provided affiliate link is for a paper pattern.  Go to the Merchant & Mills website if you are interested in a pdf pattern.   


This is the Merchant & Mills The Camber Set pattern.  It is for wovens and does not require a ribbing.  It is a very nice top/dress pattern.  The provided affiliate link is for a paper pattern.  Go to the Merchant & Mills website if you are interested in a pdf pattern.

I have found this pattern line to be very well drafted.  You can search through the blog posts to find the versions that I have made.

Happy Stitching!
