I have been sewing quite a bit for my daughter. I joked when I called her recently that I she spoke with her personal dressmaker😆
Joking aside, she loves wearing the garments I make for her which makes it a joy to sew for her too. We went fabric shopping recently and she chose this striped linen for the combination below.
The shorts are a Burda pattern. She showed me a rtw pair she loves and this Burda pattern was very similar. Size 38 withouth changes, never happens to me.
Below the steps for the slant pocket. I always interface the edge because ir’s cut on the bias.
After topstitching ready for further construction
The gilet is inspired by a rtw piece too, of which I don’t have a photo. Base for this was a gilet from an Ottobre issue.
In the meantime this ensemble has been with my daughter a few weeks now and she loves to wear it.
Leuk als je week zo graag gedragen wordt. Ik hanteer dezelfde methode bij steekzakken
ReplyDeleteJa, heel leuk als het gedragen wordt.
DeleteReally cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy.
DeleteI'd LOVE YOU as my personal dressmaker. The outfit is adorable. Perfect for summer. Very lucky daughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara. I can't be your personal dressmaker but I really hope there will be a chance to meet again.
DeleteI’ve been doing the same for my daughter for the last 5 years. Work outfits as she is a lawyer and casual outfits pulled from all those fashion magazines. It’s always fun finding a pattern that is similar or can be adapted.
ReplyDeleteSo agree with you, it's fun to search for (and find) a suitable pattern.
DeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely combination, I love the fabric! No alteration, you lucky one!
Greetings Sophia
Thank you Sophia, it's a rare situation to not have to alter anything. I've never had that happening for myself.
DeleteThis outfit looks perfect for summer, Sigrid. Your daughter is lucky!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
