Snoozi Soozi's second entry

These are the Kathryn Brenne V9114 pattern, another old favourite, the comfiest pair of trews pattern I have.

Once again, it was the duvet cover purchased in the charity shop, so I'm v chuffed to have made a complete outfit for a little over £6.

I did need to shorten the crotch seam but apart from that, no other changes. They're a good length and a good fit all-round. There isn't much gathering on the waist so very little bulk.

@Iminei are you a mind reader? I just took the pic this afternoon.

Starryfish's 2nd entry

Style Arc Pyjamas in blue floral cotton with purchased white cotton piping. I made no change to the pattern other than my standard adjustment to the back of the trousers. ( 1/1/2" wedge added to the centre back seam to allow for my large derriere.)

Sewing finishes on May 31st, please post pictures by June 7th

I've not started yet, but its the weekend and I have some time for a quick something (I work full time all week).
Sometimes its pretty dark by the time I've finished sewing so a few extra days to take the photos is helpful.

Well I've just squeaked in under the wire! This fabric was in my mum's stash, a fine cotton lawn. Pink yoke fabric is the last scraps from ages ago. The pattern is a trusty Prima one which I've used as the base for many tops. This time I closed the bust dart, rotating it to the shoulder which gave me extra fabric to gather onto the front yoke. I created the yoke, sewing it all together using the burrito method, quick & easy.   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  It's a loose fit, goes easily over my head so the front is stiched across the facings, buttons are for show, (no buttonholes yay)! It fits fine but I don't like it.   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I've got a sewing day today and hope to squeak in under the wire. It will require Mr Bear being a dummy  ;)

I love flowery stuff and it's great to see the beautiful things y'all have been making. I didn't feel I could  enter my recently completed flowery shirt as I started sewing it well before the start date! Note to self: speed up with the sewing.  :rolleyes:

There's a small chance I may do a quick cut and sew today, the pattern's made and it's easy-sew cotton stuff...
