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.
