HB2U x3 TMS

I really wasn’t sure I was going to be able to play this month, but I’m just squeaking in. Which is good, because I have so much outer wear I want to make that it’s really hard to think if I will find the interest required for next month’s theme. I will enjoy seeing what everyone else made though!

So, here are my 3’s:

1. Three separates: pants, skirt, top
2. Three fabrics with a stripe in them – it’s hard to see in the pants but trust me, it’s there
3. Three different pattern types: Big4 (but old), indie, and self drafted
4. Three fabric origins: new, gifted (re-gifted), purchased second-hand
5. Three types of fabric: wool, cotton stretch (pre-lycra ), lycra blend stretch

And here’s what I made:

1. Guise Pants, Papercut Patterns

I really, really love these pants because, well, #pants and the cut, and the absolutely beautiful, forrest green, lightly felted, faintly striped wool from The Fabric Store that I have made them up in. Oh and, orange paisley pocket liners anyone?!

2. A self-drafted A-line maxi skirt

I bought this fabric about 8 years ago, gave it to my sister, she gave it back. It was a doddle to sew, and I am very happy with the fit of my self-drafted pattern.

 3. Simplicity 8809 Top – View B

This is a very quick and simple make, but it marks the domination of a pattern I’ve made unsuccessfully three times before this. It’s made from second hand fabric and I’m very happy with the result.

 

Happy Birthday TMS! Thanks for having me.
