I’ve haven’t moved to a sunny location…nor am I so brave to stand in a sleeveless top on Halloween day 😉 I’m just fashionably late!
Non mi sono trasferita in un paese caldo… ne’ sono cosi’ temeraria da posare senza maniche il giorno di Halloween 😉 Sono solo in leggero ritardo!
If you’ve been sewing for a few years you certainly recognize this pattern…if you’ve just started this is Datura by Deer&Doe (available in French and English).
Se cucite da qualche anno probabilmente riconoscerete questo modello…se avete cominciato da poco questa e’ Datura di Deer&Doe (disponibile in francese ed inglese).
I’ve managed to refashion more men shirts…and I’m pretty happy about that! The pattern is a bit wide for my taste…I had to take in 5/8 inches (1.5 cm) on the sides and I feel the armscyes is too low. But overall it’s a very lovely blouse! the neckline detail and the color blocking possibilities are fabulous. Just make sure you pin the bias binding and try on the blouse or you risk it doesn’t stay put!
Next up for me…pants! What are you sewing these days?
Sono riuscita a recuperare altre camicie da uomo…e ne sono molto soddisfatta! Il modello era un po’ troppo largo per i miei gusti… ho dovuto riprendere le cuciture laterali di 1,5 cm e trovo il giro manica un po’ troppo basso. A parte questo mi piace molto il modello! Il dettaglio della scollatura e la possibilita’ di combinare stoffe lo rendono fantastico. Assicuratevi solo di appuntare lo sbieco e di provare il top prima o rischiate che non rimanga ben aderente.
Prossimo progetto per me…pantaloni! E voi cosa cucite di bello in questi giorni?

Cute one! I really like the way you reused the men’s shirt on the back.

Thanks Alessa! I tried my best…unfortunately, using the front is always difficult due to the pocket…removing it leaves a mark and different color.

I want to try this, but don’t know which would be best to use. A chambray, a tencel denim or a regular denim. Which do you think would be best?

Though the chambray weight is not listed, I would tend to favour this option. The other two seem slightly too heavy. What you want is a shirting weight. I would try checking out that section from their website and if possible get a swatch. Hope this helps.
