Indie Pattern Month and a “New-to-Me”

Hooray! It’s Indie Pattern Month and I am ready for this week’s challenge – “New-to-Me”!

I have had the “Teach Me Fashion” two tone singlet PDF pattern on my mind for a while now – the possibilities are endless! This PDF pattern was the easiest I have ever seen!  You can find the pattern here.

I purchased this beautiful blue and black print and a plain black (100% polyester) for the two different colour blocks.

I wasn’t sure if it would be suitable for this pattern as it looks like the model is wearing more of a silk fabric. We shall see…

First thing I noticed was the pattern pieces didn’t look like a “normal” top pattern, I could see the neckline and armholes, but the rest of the pieces just looked like strips. Luckily, Teach Me Fashion patterns come with a You Tube video demonstrating it all! So after watching the video all was clear, layout, assembly, the works – even how to sew 90 degree corners!

Here is the finished garment – I love it!

If you would like more details and an explanation of how I got an aura on top of my head, come visit my post!

I would like to try this pattern again in a silkier fabric, just to see how it hangs!

Thank you Teach Me Fashion for your lovely pattern!
