uniform




top - grainline hemlock tee
leggings - burda 6/2012, #124, modified

here's a fact - i'm a burda girl
and hardly ever sew from any other pattern company..
the only time i have used one of the 'big four' patterns
was for my sew bossy project, when kazz sent me vogue pattern
and beside that, i made several nettie bodysuits 
one deer and doe plantain (modified to dress)
few tessuti fave tops
and jade skirt by paprika patterns
all of which were a success, and i wear them a lot..
i've also made a top using salme sonja dress pattern
it took forever to sew it, as i had to make billion changes
and the result is a wonky mess of a top, that i never wear
..
as you have probably noticed
these are all free patterns 
(not the nettie, but i was a pattern tester for nettie)
so, sooner or later i had to sew hemlock tee
another free indie pattern 
and i'm pretty glad that i did
as it became my daily uniform 
together with these jersey suede leggings
(color and texture of that jersey fabric
reminded me of riding pants
so i modified my favorite leggings pattern to mimic those)
..
scarf is inspired by beautiful scarf 
that my dear friend tea recently made
but my knitting skills are a bit rusty
so my version is nowhere near the inspiration
(i'm thinking of unraveling it
and trying again, using bigger needles)

    1. i think it's one of my favorite fabrics ever (and i'm not quite sure am i calling it right, but it looks like suede, has that velvety feel to it)..

  6. I love those leggings! I might have to copy them if you don't mind! And jersey suede?? Where did you find that?

    1. of course you can copy them :) i'll make few more pairs for sure, since i wear these so much they might desintegrate soon.. i found the fabric in local shop that sells italian fabrics.. i suspect it's mostly leftovers from previous seasons, as i sometimes see a familiar fabrics, that i've already seen few years back in a mango or strafivarius or maxmara store.. anyways, it's cheap and super easy to work with, and bonus - it never bags at the knee, what makes it perfect for the leggings, as all my other leggings tend to stretch at the knees by the end of the day

  7. Yes! I have some similar jersey and a hemlock all printed out waiting to be made into just this sort of top. Great uniform.
