Today Mire joins us to share what she’s made from the fall 2023 pattern line.<\/em><\/p>\n

amarena dress<\/strong>
\nI decided to sew view A of the Amarena dress<\/a>. But instead of welt pockets, I used the side pockets from View B. My measurements put me in at size 6, so I made that size without any modifications. I used drapey tencel from my stash, which was a good choice for the dress. The dress was quick and easy to sew. The collar took some time, but Liesl has written good instructions. editor’s note: we get this comment a lot. \u00a0Liesl writes such clear and easy-to-follow instructions.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I really like the result! This is a great all-year dress. I love making clothes that are good layering pieces I can wear in every season. In autumn I wear a T-shirt underneath the dress, and in winter I add a cardigan to keep me warm. The dress fits me well. But when I am wearing a T-shirt under the dress, it feels just a little bit too tight on the back. So I will add some room in my next one to wear it also as a layering piece.<\/p>\n

antwerp pullover<\/strong>
\nI planned to make an Antwerp pullover<\/a> for myself using gray wool flannel, but my teenage daughter fell in love with the Antwerp pullover and asked if I could sew one for her. She didn\u2019t like my fabric choice and instead chose a blue pleated ponte from my stash. I used jersey to line the hood. The pullover has a nice shape.<\/p>\n

\"teenaged<\/p>\n

In the end, I was surprised at how it turned out. I would never have chosen Ponte for this pullover, but it looks great! I must admit that my daughter\u2019s fabric choice was a good one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
