Thanks so much for that feedback!! I definitely leaning towards making them a thing :) & thanks so much, I've been trying get get back on my cycling game - maybe it's finally starting to show 😆😅
Lovely makes, and you KNOW I love that Jaden jumpsuit! Drop that pattern! Pleated miniskirt blues are real. I make the mini Bernadette Skirt by Friday Pattern Co and they are adorable but just are not for me so I will stick with the longer version. ❤
I had my eye on that skirt, I went with the Blair from True Bias Instead but it’s still on my radar. You’re right though, I think I will be sticking with the longer midi lengths too. Also grading the jumpsuit now so 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 I can be calling for testing in a few weeks!
I light up every time I see that you’ve released a video!!! Love your makes!! When I saw the jumpsuit, I was like have I seen that before?? So I was happy when you shared the previous jumpsuit you made in the same stripe fabric (confirmed I’ve been paying attention lol) I love how you played with the direction of the stripes there! Keep drafting! I appreciate you taking those creative liberties, reminds us to not be afraid to do the same! I’m trying to make some maxi dresses for summer and some matching sets, your button down and shorts set, I really appreciate- so I’ll figure out what I’ll be working with in my stash. I haven’t out right stated a no buy/low buy year, but I’m definitely in one lol (trying not to tempt fate) but I’ve been enjoying my stash thoroughly, pulling from it and getting lots of great makes completed😊 Ok, just know I’m here cheering you on, this was a delightful middle of the night nursing break watch lol
Absolutely! It’s such an innovative but potentially (really) useful design. I’ve dug into the pattern a bit and it seems quite doable. I just need to get those extra long zippers and then I think I’ll be able to give it a go 😅
Maybe approaching commercial sewing patterns as starting points would help you get more out of them?? 🤔E.g. Whenever I make pants I need to increase the rise by 1'' and do a sway back adjustment of about another inch to get the fit I like. For a darted top I know I'll need to lower the bust dart apex by 1'' and lengthen the bodice by 1-2'' to make it hit at the right places. Instead of looking at fit alterations as an indicator for whether a pattern is good or bad we can look at them as just part of the process. Probably one of the reasons why you're drawn to self-drafting is because you're drafting for your body, so you're fitting it to your body as you're drafting which probably improves the fit of the items by a lot compared to unmodified commercial patterns. Just some food for thought. 🥰
I'm excited about your pattern drafting journey! What's new? Know Me's latest drop had a lot of nice patterns. Might be worth a look for some inspiration.
Now you know that jumpsuit is too cute. Your pleated skirt is darling, maybe you could make some small adjustments and change what you don't like about your skirt. You know you can get down with your sewing. Thank you ❤
