Muna and Broadâs Noice Jeans. This is my toile, done in soft heavy cotton to approximate denim. Lovely high waisted fit. So comfortable. Installed real rivets and Jeans button. A few slight modifications and I can start a pair in non-stretch denim.
Cleaning out closet discovered this early make. The armholes were uncomfortable, so it did not get worn much. The linen is butter soft. I had to try and save it. I removed bindings on neck and armholes and discovered I had not clipped my curves. I reassembled, and added some decorative stitching and a bit of piping around neck. It is so much more comfortable and is going back into the closet.
Muna and Broad Waikerie. Not my usual, I made a bright cheerful linen top, hoping it might help to brighten my mood. Super comfy. Muna and Broad Waikerie shirt. Made a straight size 1, view B, with short sleeves. Love the hi/lo hem, and the side vents. Cool construction. Will make again, but will grade hips out, while trying to maintain the cool boxy look.
Deb Canhamâs basic serger class – done online. Fun, informative, inspirational.
Pattern hack of Indygo Junction Slight Sleeve top. Drafted front scoop pockets, added length, lined hems, topstitching, bound sleeves, trim around neck, pleated instead of gathered. I did alter original pattern to fit my 1X bust and 3X hips, and my sloping short shoulders. Linen with coordinating cotton chambray stripe both found in remnant bins. Cool comfy top for summer.
Just finished this summer nightgown in light cotton, with the inside finishings almost as pretty as the outside, built with comfort in mind.
All stages of life offer their own beauty.
