So it's 'fixed' with some judicious hand sewing around the zipper. Probably should have done the neck darts since it doesn't lay flush. We'll just consider this one a wearable muslin.
Argh!! Rookie mistake. My facing somehow was cut nearly 3/4" short.
Frankenpattern to mimic OOP Simplicity 2591.
Evie decided my pattern needed some decorating..at least it wasn't fabric this time! #nothingissacred
Needed a quick project to try and get my sewing mojo back. Using my AMH Field Study Challis for a Wiksten tank. Doing double duty- making something and bringing happy thoughts of Cali. #wiksten #sewing #amhfabric
Almost finished- need to hem to bottom. Wiksten tank pattern using AMH rayon challis in Field Study. Fit pretty loose in the waist, haven't decided if I'll take it in a little. This is a very loud fabric for me, working outside my neutral comfort zone. #w
Treasures from Hart's Fabric in Santa Cruz! Top down is rayon challis in field study by AMH, organic orange cotton shirting, charley Harper for Birch fabric, rayon/tencel (so lush!) in gray, and Kaufman Union Chambray - feels incredible, too! Starting to
#Wiksten tank finished. Size M, should've done 1/2" seams rather than 3/8" since I forgot to shape the waist before I hemmed the bottom. Ah well, next time. #sewing #fieldstudy #amhfabric
#moneta muslin. Version 2 with short sleeves. Need to lengthen bodice by 1/2", otherwise the fit is great. #colette #sewing
Test muslin for #monetapattern. #Colette #sewing
The #colette #monetapattern packaging- once you open the flap you see that there is a booklet of instructions rather than the usual sheet you unfold. It's sewn to the packaging and the pattern sheets are in the back page tucked in a folded corner. Very ni
Woot! Got my #Colette #MonetaPattern in the mail today. Wonderful packaging, already traced out my size for a test muslin.

It's here! Vintage Kwik Sew 842, for stretch knits. Look past the 70's styling. My happy score from online, love the neckline!
Hmmm, what to make. Lovely #naniiro fabric. The bottom fabric is more emerald/evergreen than I expected- love the splotches. Top has a very subtle silver metallic highlight in the design. #doublegauze #missmatatabi #japanesefabric

A little underarm change to stop the gape. #naniiro fabric, here I come! #sewing #newlook6120
#hollyburnskirt finished! This project was quite the learning experience since I added a lining due to the thin linen. #sewaholicpatterns
Argh, delicate surgery- ripping seams on handkerchief weight linen. #sewaholicpatterns #hollyburnskirt
Who can spot the catastrophic mistake? These are curved front pockets. Downside to linen that there is no wrong side. #hollyburnskirt #sewing #sewingwoes
A most excellent mail day- vintage patterns!
One I have to walk away from and figure out if it's salvageable. So glad I decided to do a wearable muslin before cutting into my nice fabric!
