See you at six...
September 17, 2016
Today I am taking part in the See You At Six blog tour hosted by Maaike from Maai design. See You At Six is a beautiful new collection of fabric available in Maaike's shop. It is viscose/rayon and has a beautiful drape. Ideally suited for shirts and dresses for women. I chose Cracks Pastel for this project (and also some Triangles Blue for something lovely in the future). Like the Soft Cactus fabrics, See You At Six is also 145cm wide. I love that!
Then the question was...What to make? I had always like the look of the Wiksten Tova top/dress, so I bought the PDF pattern and set to work printing, taping and cutting. I cut a medium based on the measurements but I think I will sew a small size next time. Although saying that, I do like the flowy look of this shirt. I have worn it twice already since finishing it last weekend. The shirt came together really easily. There was slip stitching of the collar lining, but that was the only time consuming part. I think the dress version in the smaller size, perhaps with a tie would look really nice.
The collection is beautiful. I love all the fabrics and found it very hard to chose! Thank you Maaike for having me! If you would like to purchase some See You At Six fabric, you can receive 10% off by using the code: seeyouatsix. You will not be disappointed!

Suz, the shirt looks wonderful. I think the colours suit you very well. The drape is lovely. I am glad Maaike convinced you to sew for yourself :) I too have been admiring this pattern forever.
ReplyDeleteYou should do more selfish sewing, it's great! And I totally share your love for the fabrics, they feel wonderful, don't they?

ReplyDeleteSince Muay Thai became a sport, all boxers are required to wear Muay Thai gloves to fight Muay Thai. The main reason is because the gloves help to reduce the high force impact, in order to protect your fist and wrist and also your opponent from a really bad injury.
