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)

Jersey suede leggings?! I want! Stay warm out there, girl! Looks cold!
ReplyDelete:) oh yeah, it was damn cold that day.. now it's springtime, all of a sudden (if i only knew that, i would wait for the weather to change, and then go for a photoshoot)
Deleteme toooo … jersey suede leggins want !!! and the hat!
ReplyDelete:) it's a boys hat actually, you can do what i did - buy it for your boyfriend, and then steal it from him
Deletemacko, hvala na pomenu :) daleko od toga da je moj sal savrsen, takodje bih ponovo isplela isti s vecim iglama :P vec znas da sam odusevljena helankama, a i majica odlicno izgleda, svidja mi se igra s prugama ;)
ReplyDelete:) onda paramo zajedno hehe.. ja i dalje mislim da je tvoj sal do jajca, ne uvrce se ovako na krajevima..
DeleteStripes, my looove! *^O^*
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your hat.
thanks :) these days i'm all about stripes too (some time ago it was polka dots, now it's stripes)
DeleteAwesome leggings ♡
ReplyDeletethanks, trine..
DeleteOh, I love the sound of jersey suede! Gorgeous! Stay cosy and warm :)
ReplyDeletei 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)..
DeleteI love those leggings! I might have to copy them if you don't mind! And jersey suede?? Where did you find that?
ReplyDeleteof 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
DeleteYes! I have some similar jersey and a hemlock all printed out waiting to be made into just this sort of top. Great uniform.
