Why did the Zebra Cross the Road

Sewist — Tue, 14 May 2019 10:00:07 +0000

…no, wait that’s not the right joke is it? Anyhow, I bought this Zebra jersey panel ages ago and was scared to cut into it in case I messed it up. While I was sorting through my bag of UFOs, I rediscovered it and decided to take the plunge and cut myself a Union Street […]

Fruit Polo Polar Bears – finally finished!

Sewist — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 10:00:31 +0000

Ok, I will admit I finished this Knot Your Average Top* late last year, but I realised I hadn’t ever blogged the finished top! Back in May, I had got to a sticking point with this Polar Bear Knot top, when I wanted to add in a shelf bra style part that isn’t in the […]

Twittering Union Street Tee

Sewist — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 09:00:45 +0000

It’s taken me a while to get back to my Union Street Tee*, seeing as I knew I’d messed up the neckline. I’ve actually shelved this since May, as the neckline was annoying me! However, I realised that unpicking it would be unrealistic as the binding was already top-stitched once I noticed my mistake. Now […]

Hey June Lane Raglan

Sewist — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 10:00:14 +0000

After my attempt at making the Shark Rivage Raglan, I wanted to try a different pattern that was a little more fitted without being designed to be skin tight. Enter the Lane Raglan* by Hey June Handmade, which actually comes complete with a FBA pattern piece to save the hassle of trying to add in a […]

Shark Rivage Raglan

Sewist — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 09:00:26 +0000

While I was looking for some cotton to make a dress (which incidentally, I haven’t even cut the pattern pieces for yet!), this shark jersey caught my eye. It’s not a pattern I would usually wear, but there was something about it which looked like it would make a great t-shirt, so I bought just […]

Blanc Tee

Sewist — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Rummaging through my bag of UFOs, I came across the pieces for this Blank Slate Patterns Blanc Tee. I’d purchased the fabric over a year ago, cut out the pattern, then didn’t have the confidence to figure out if the sizing was accurate, or if I’d need to grade the seam allowance at the waist. […]

New Look 6230

Sewist — Tue, 03 May 2016 09:00:45 +0000

Sew Magazine came with a free New Look 6230 pattern a couple of months ago, and I was drawn to the baseball t-shirt look. It doesn’t have set-in sleeves, which is a nice bonus as set-in sleeves and me don’t tend to get on! I found some really funky fabric, but I decided it was a […]

New Look 6178

Sewist — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 09:00:28 +0000

I’ve been struggling to get the sizing worked out for fitted clothing like tops and dresses – no matter how closely I follow the instructions, there’s still a weird bit of excess fabric on the neck, or it’s too snug on the waist. So I thought I’d try using some jersey offcuts I’d bought as a […]
