Although I’ve been physically out of action, things Al have been moving behind the scenes, most notably the Dulcie Boxer Briefs over at @munaandbroad! Jess and I designed these to be worn next to the body but they also perform the function of anti chafe shorts!

We went through many different iterations of concept before we came up with these comfy numbers. There’s no side seam which allows maximum stretch and no show through, and a U shaped gusset that eliminates the inseam by moving it to the front and back.

If you have eagle eyes, you might also spy an exciting notion used in this pair too. You can get our custom soft elastic exclusively at @nelliejoans who also has kits, or you can use any other soft boxer elastic!

My silk shirt is done!

This is the @munaandbroad #TarawiShirt with one of the patreon bonus collar patterns. I’m so pleased with how this turned out and it feels so good on my skin.

The fabric is a black silk faille. It is super opaque and and flowy. I used silk interfacing (not organza but that would be equivalent) and I tried to keep it as clean finished as possible with hand finished collar and hand self bound armhole seams. The sleeves and side seams are French seams and I finished the hem with some self silk bias.

Second slide shows the collar a bit more clearly. On the bottom I’m wearing #WillandraPants in tencel. It’s an almost impossibly slinky outfit!

EDIT: the fabric webinar date has been changed to April 30 3-5pm EST (Toronto) time. All registrants have been contacted about this change with their options

I am so so SO excited to collaborate with @winnipegsews to present my Fabric Webinar and Sample Pack. I know this is an area that many folks struggle with and during the webinar I will teach you how to choose fabrics for your garment sewing projects, decipher fabric suggestions, and shop for unlabelled fabrics

Live Webinar: See above for change (Canada EST)
Preorder sample pack by March 1, 2022
Total cost $190 CAD ($100 sample pack, $90 webinar). The sample pack cost includes worldwide shipping

Register and preorder at www.winnipegsews.com/sample-pack

The Webinar is a deep dive into natural fibre garment sewing fabrics. It is suitable for all levels of sewists and will also add insight into fabrics for sustainable fashion enthusiasts. We will use interactive activities for categorizing, labelling, and critically analyzing the fibre, weave, and application of a wide variety of sustainable fabrics

The Sample Pack is 30 curated pieces of fabric - the key to our understanding natural fibres and learning to differentiate between fabrics. The sample pack includes 30 5”x5” samples of all different natural fibre fabrics. During the webinar you will apply the included stickers as you identify the fabrics and annotate printable fabric sample sheets

So, what does stripe friendly mean on this @munaandbroad #HydeTShirt mean exactly? It means that the lower hems are straight so that stripes don’t look distorted or cut off! Oftentimes t shirts have a curve in the front, like on our #TarleeTShirt to account for the bust pulling the top up.

But I have a real soft spot for the playfulness of this hemline that speaks to the boxy heritage of the Hyde.

On a side note: I wonder who will be able to guess why it’s called the Hyde. And it’s not named after Hyde Park in Sydney!

Introducing the #HydeTShirt over at @munaandbroad!

Introducing the #HydeTShirt over at @munaandbroad!

Jess wanted a boxy oversized tee and this is it! Like her, I’ve found it hard to resist wearing the ones I’ve made but I did manage to hold off to avoid staining!

There’s a long sleeve and this short sleeve version as well as a crossover back view (it doubles as an accessibility feature but I personally just like it for the way it looks - universal design!).

We specially made this shirt to be stripe friendly (straight hems) because isn’t a boxy t shirt just dying to be a stripey?

There is 15% off this pattern this week with no code needed!
