McCalls 7323 - Another favorite pattern!

Image
I love this pattern for a t-shirt with a little something extra. It fits great and is simple to make. A good one for sewists of any level! Change it up by using coordinating fabrics or a stripe that gets matched at the front seam.  👆  Check out my TeeSpring shop! 👆 I have mugs too 

McCalls 7390 - Addressing Accessability - Adding a Zipper

Image
One of the benefits of sewing your own clothes is being able to address issues with wearability and wardrobe. I adapt this pattern by adding a zipper and make it easier to put on for someone with mobility limitations. Information for making this top with or without the zipper is provided. The fabric is Lapis Leaves designed by Suzan Engler from QTFabrics available from quilt shops and Etsy sellers. I try on the top just for fun. It is not meant to be as fitted as it is on me. The pattern is designed with enough wearing ease to be pulled over the head, which is obviously missing when you see me wearing it. :0) If you like my videos, please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel! 👉  My YouTube Channel  👍

Kwik Sew 4256 ~ I Made Ring Fit Pants!

Image
Don't laugh, I love playing Ring Fit Adventure. I struggle with the leg strap staying in place though. Even if you aren't working out with a video game this pattern is a keeper. It has a cute style, quick to sew and I show you how to add pockets. Before you cut it out watch my review. I found an error in mine that was easy to fix (if you haven't cut it out yet).
