One of the things I wanted to dip my feet into this year was bra making. The most popular bra patterns differ from the kinds of bra that I’m used to wearing, but I wanted to approach this like I did with shirt making: just an exercise to learn new …
Month: January 2015
Completed: Margot Pajama Bottoms
I bought this cotton flannel sheet in Retales Lidia by the kilo. I don’t remember the price, but it was ridiculously cheap and I still have tons left. First I wanted to make the Tofino pants, but I was not 100% convinced about the leg width and I wanted a …
Completed: Another 40s Style Blouse
I promise that this is the last 40s style blouse that I’m making for a while, but I just needed to get it out of my system. I’m going to try a different pattern next time, but even if I don’t, I think I’m ready to attend the next rockabilly …
Petticoat Resources
One of the things that I would like to make one day is a petticoat. If I haven’t made it before it’s because I don’t think it will get a lot of wear. I spend most of my days at home and I’m not attending a lot of parties right …
Slow January
Just twenty days have passed since the month started but it feels to me like a month and a half at least. After the Christmas frenzy and all the doctor appointments before that (including a gastroscopy that never happened), these days it seems that I just work, sew, knit and …

Sewing plans: pants
One of the things I want to do this year is sewing pants again. I love my three Thurlow trousers I made in past years, but I want a different style this time. I’ve mentioned in my Top 5 of 2014 post that I will sew more things that are …
Completed: Monsters Blouse
One of the things that I’ve missed this year was going to a couple of rockabilly festivals. It’s difficult to attend this kind of events when you have food issues, but as soon as I get better, I’ll definitely go… and wear this blouse. It’s Gertie’s 40s style blouse again. …
Completed: Camas Blouse
You probably know Thread Theory as a independent company designing sewing patterns for men. Well, to celebrate their second anniversary they have released a pattern for us, women: The Camas Blouse. On the original picture it appears as a loose top, so to make it more my style, I’ve made …
