Back with this week’s #WeeklyWIPs post—a weekly series where I share what I’ve worked on in the past week. I love that so many of you are adopting this!! Please tag me if you do—I LOVE to see what you’re up to! This week was a big one. I honestly feel annoyed burying so much of this into a single post, but it does help to just get out of my head and just POST.😆
1. I finished my @simplicity_creative_group #s3038 jacket designed by @norrisdantaford. It’s perfection. Only a sneak peak because I NEED to take proper photos to do this one justice.
2. I learned how to catch stitch by hand! My first time doing it, and I love the flexibility it gives to the hem.
3. This week I’ve started putting together the tutorial for the INCREDIBLY foolproof and beautiful single-welt pocket method I used in my jacket. I re-did a sample so I could take better photos, and at first I was nervous. What if it didn’t turn out as great? Shouldn’t have worried because once again…PERFECTION. 🤩
4. I finished my third pair of @bygraciesteel #foxieboxies workout shorts using nylon taslan from @moodfabrics. Love them!
5. On a quest to understand optimal bottoms drafting for my body, I took apart my favorite RTW elastic waist shorts to analyze crotch and rise drafting compared to the Foxies. We learned SO much together on that. You guys really enjoyed that analysis. It’s saved to a highlight if you want to see.
6. & 7. Finally, I “finished” (needs hems lol) matching polos for Crowley and I!!! 🥰 For mine, I used @norrisdantaford’s @knowmepatterns #ME2035, and for Crowley’s I used @mccallpatterncompany #M8568. For both I used a Mara Hoffman french terry deadstock from @moodfabrics with a lightweight white rib knit from @lyricalfabrics for the collars. Crowley’s polo is still a bit too big for him, but it should fit him sometime this summer. Can’t wait to be matchy matchy with him 😂
