Self care win! The pattern is Daughter Judyâs Genra blouse pattern. I missed wearing my summer version in lightweight linen so I made it in this medium weight brushed chambray. I actually used it inside out to maximize the comfort. I altered the fit a bit to my measurements. I have a relatively smaller bust, large biceps, and several sizes larger waist and hips. Not being a fan of boxy tops, I avoid drop shoulder patterns but this one just falls and feels great on me. The sleeves are both generous but not cumbersome when trying to work in it. I could easily wear tee shirt under it making it a great layering piece. The collar and curved facing are perfectly shaped for my frame. I adore the great hi/low hem with side vents. The back pleat adds just enough room for movement without adding too much volume. In the stiffer fabric it becomes possible to flip the collar up. I double stitched top stitching for an extra detail. Fabric was bought online from Fabric Mart and buttons are from Wawak. No affiliation, just sharing my make. Measurements 46:48:56. #daughterjudypatterns #fabricmart #wawaksewing #pfselfcare #punkfrockers #sewover50december

Self care via making 5 pairs of leggings. Some are for workout and some are for lounging. So tired of choosing between a tight squeeze and wrinkled bagging found in off the rack leggings. Used Amandaâs Bundles Peached Performance for the lounging pairs. The workout pairs are from a mix, Discovery Fabrics and Greenstyle. The pattern is My Fit Leggings by Apostrophe Patterns. Relaxed fit with contour waistband and no side seam. Made a test pair a few months ago and found they are an absolute dream to wear. And ⦠there is patterns and colors!!!! I am trying to step a wee but out if my rut of black and navy. #pfselfcare #punkfrockers #sewover50plus #apostrophepatterns #myfitleggings #discoveryfabrics #greenstylefabrics #amandasbundles
