I have been a bit remiss lately showing you what I have made. I don't want to bore you with everything I have made over the last few months so will start with Octobers makes.
First the GBSB asymmetrical skirt, this was from a couple of series ago but I have only just got round to making it. The fabric is wool Melton from Fabworks. What a palaver, I don't give up easily but it just seemed imposable to match the yoke to the skirt and it very nearly ended up in the bin. But I did persevere and decided to drape each wave over the tailors ham to see if I could get a match. Bingo it worked.
Second vogue 8982 Again a pattern I have had for ages, I was intending to use it to make a shirt but saw the fabric in Fabworks and at £5 a metre couldn't leave it on the shelf. It is bonded soft shell? and it some light looks red and in others looks more orange. As with all Marcie Tilton patterns it was generously cut and I know from experience I could go down a couple of sizes.. Cut a 16 to start with (should be a 20) and even then had to take in 2 inch from each side seam.
Third Not quite finished yet, i haven't got any dark purple thread to do the button holes, dam that means another trip to Fabworks
This is
Simplicity 8951 I haven't sew with jersey much and i am not a lover of Simplicity patterns but this went together ok although i think the neck band could do to be a bit shorter as it seems to be sticking out a bit, will have to remember for next time.
