Completed pants. This is such a lovely wool check, warm yet breathable.
-
Last pair of pants I’ll need for a while, mostly complete apart from the hems. In the middle of sewing these I realised that I was accidentally sewing up the Second Doctors pants (Patrick Troughton’s Doctor in Doctor Who actually wore yellow check pants, just no one knew until we got the animated/colourised episodes).
-
I learnt that if I have lots of spare time I can sew up a single pair of pants in 2 days! 😲 Grey pair is garbedine (to replace a pair that was damaged) & red plaid is pure wool weave. I’m gonna be toasty this winter!
-
Finally sewing up my partners last ‘fun’ shirt. I’m hungry for donuts just looking at it.
-
Completed summer pinafore. The buttons are non-functional, but I did put in manual machine sewn button holes for the oversized buttons if needed at a later stage.
-
Constructing a summer pinafore. It’s delightfully simple, although having to ease 4 seperate collars was irritating.
-
Completed hungry caterpillar shirt (slightly crumpled after being worn). I’m very pleased with how it turned out and I feel I learnt so much about tailoring.
-
Had to edit the armholes as well to fit me properly without having weird shoulder overhang. Once this trimming was complete, I finished with bias cut from the same fabric. I also marked out my button holes and button placement.

I’m beginning to get cocky now. Decided to experiment with the shirt pattern so it has an inside yoke. Looks like it’s working so far.
