I started a pair of Field Trip cargos this weekend – the fiddle bits on the pockets and the faux fly slow me down sometimes, but I powered through and finished on Monday. My husband emailed me at work to let me know that DS hunted hem down to wear this morning. He asked if they should go through the wash first, and she said, “the only thing on…[Read more]

I think you have to sew something (no pressure) as I really enjoy seeing your fit and precision! I love your idea of the shirt and maxi skirt. If you’re staying at the hotel then you could iron your clothes and change there? How about doing the shirt/skirt in two different jewel-like colours? Like a red washed silk blouse and more structured…[Read more]

I’m going to hear Kaffe Fassett give a talk on Thursday night, very excited! The feel of his cottons is lovely.

Sewing for Yourself 11 years agoHello. I have bought all three patterns. I can really see the gallery tunic being made quite soon, in something light weight. If I had time before my holiday I would. I will also be making it to wear to work.
I imagine the maritime top will be made again and again, although I can’t quite envision how it will work with different weights of j…[Read more]

I have made the skirt reversible several times. I omit the ties, and leave both elastic casing for a ruffled top. My daughter loves them.
I don’t know why you couldn’t still use buttons for the top. It seems to me that it’d be similar to when I made the bubble dress reversible, but used buttons to coordinate with each side.

I have made the skirt reversible several times. I omit the ties, and leave both elastic casing for a ruffled top. My daughter loves them.
I don’t know why you couldn’t still use buttons for both sides of the top. It seems to me that it’d be similar to when I made the bubble dress reversible, but used coordinating buttons for each side.

Sewing for Yourself 11 years agoI really love the Gallery Top – it reminds me of the Tova tunic which is a shape I love. I never made the Tova because my research indicates it doesn’t work well on large busts. I’m wondering how the Gallery will be for a large bust – I don’t see any darts – but I can’t make one for myself until after baby anyway and by then I’m sure there will…[Read more]

Has anyone thought about or tried making this pattern reversible? The skirt is fully lined, so it seems like it would be pretty easy. The buttonholes for the drawstring casing would be on both the lining and the skirt so the drawstring could be drawn out either side.
For the top, would you just have to add another ruffle and sandwich them both…[Read more] -

Sewing for Yourself 11 years agoThanks, Sarvi and Cat! Courtney, the skirt is designed to sit at your natural waist, but it’s really a matter of your preference. Just like if you tried things on at a store, you get to decide how you want to wear your clothing. If you prefer it to sit a little lower, that’s up to you. Mine sits at my belly button or slightly lower, yes.

Thanks Liesl! I was trying to attach a picture, but I don’t think it worked.
