I have been making clothes for myself lately and have really been loving it.
I have finally dared to wear my creations in public and thankfully they stayed in one piece. Yes I was nervous about it so much that I always brought backup clothes just in case. Now I have to admit that I am still having a hard time taking pictures of myself. Taking pictures of yourself is really awkward, is it not?
The other night I made this ruched collar shirt and I just love it. It is super comfy! I simply used one of my favorite shirts as a template. The tee came together really quick and easy. I didn’t do any top stitching and I even left the edges raw. I am actually a fan of raw edges on my tees for some reason. The fabric is a nice sweater knit fabric that I purchased from Michael Levine when I went to LA for Fabric Weekend. It is lightweight and has a great stretch to it.
Who else is trying to do some selfish sewing? I still have a dress in the works that I must finish for a wedding this weekend.
Love it!
I love your blog
I sewed this shirt for myself a while back, the instructions had me use bias tape for the hemming and I thought it was tricky and with the silk it doesn’t seem to lay flat. but it was my first attempt and it was fun! I just love your top it inspires me to keep trying!!
Thanks
