New green owls outfit - ottobre 1/2016 #5 & 3/2015 #7

ottobre 1/2013 #5 & 3/2015 #7
Since I started to force myself to make time for sewing again I managed to trace some patterns for Eva so I will be doing some sewing as well now. The patterns used now are both Ottobre ( there is nothing more practical and comfortable so far from my experience).
The leggings are very very easy and fast and quite OK for the warm weather (I traced size 80 that should be just a bit bigger and they are more like 3/4 length) . I would say this is not my favorite pattern for leggings but is not bad specially if you don't want to cut some nice print ( no front and side seams ) and is easy. At least after you read the joining instruction. For this pair I joined panels in the wrong order and got some small problems but you can hardly see them on this print.

 The top is more interesting and I can't wait to try a version with some contrast for yoke. when I seen the drawing I thought of a woven fabric but then it called for jersey and it is quite fit and may not have been comfortable otherwise. - Ottobre 1/2016 #5 - Pocahontas jersey top.

I added a ruffle to the hem to make it more like a dress and it doesn't seem to have been a bad idea. I got quite a nice outfit in in end: fun print, interesting design and comfortable to play in it.

    1. Merci! Asta si inca unu sunt materiale luate la rola de 12m ( atat era comanda minima ) de la cameleontextil.com - din cele de colectie. Foarte faina calitatea - se intinde bine si isi revine usor, placut la atingere... doar ca deja m-am plictisit rau de tot de el am cusut o gramada si am mai si dat din el si tot nu stiu daca am ajuns macar la jumatate....
