Shirts

Image
Made a couple of shirts from a free pattern from the Fabric-Store.com. I am working on sewing up some o choice pieces that I have saved and need to get them used up. That is what the pandemic has got me doing.
Image
This one is from some Japanese Fabric.
Image

Image
This one is from some old Japanese Kimonos.
Image

Image
Made my own bias tape.
Image

 My sister-in-law embroidered this piece that I thought looked really nice on the back of the shirt.

Transformer Jacket

Image

Image
I think this jacket is so cool. It is made with a back pack inside of the jacket. You can put the jacket into the back of the jacket and it becomes a back pack. It has a place for a water bottle too. The pattern is a downloadable from Elle and Mac.

Felted Hat

Image
This ia one of the projects that I worked on this stay at home time. I hadn't knitted for awhile and it was good to get back into it.
Image
In PenWAG I took a workshop from Sue Keys and we made a silk hand dyed ribbon crimping arrangement. It worked out to compliment this hat very nicely.
Image
 It is a nice and warm hat too. I am looking forward to wearing it this winter.

Shirt Top

Image
 Used some of my dyed fabrics and some commercial fabrics for this shirt.
Image
 I used some muslin behind to anchor the pieced sections of this shirt.
Image

Image
 This one I used some linen that I got from fabrics-store.com. They have some really nice linens. They have several free patterns that you can download, if you buy some fabric there.
Image

Image
Really happy with the pattern and the linen fabric that I used for this shirt.

Sewing Workshop Splice Top

Image
 I enjoyed doing this one as you can see. I had some real nice pieces of fabric that I had saved and it was time to use them.
Image
 This is silk from a kimono.
Image
 The sides are a good coordinate from another kimono.
Image
 This was a few pieces from a wedding kimono.
Image

Image
 This was silk from my dyed fabrics.
Image

Image
 This was a hand dyed that I did from linen from an old kimono.
Image
I made the sleeves wider and I did a full bust adjustment to the pattern.

Cropped Pants

Image
 I love how these pants turned out. They are easy to make. I made a black linen pair too. I know I will be making more pairs.
Image
 The pattern said to hem 4" above the ankle. The picture doesn't show it that well, but they do look cropped. On my black pair I made them shorter because I didn't have enough fabric and they look good too.
Image
 I wanted you to see the tucks and pockets.
Image
The fabric is linen from Marcy Tilton.
