There are 3 more t-shirts 2 from the b-positive pattern with the split sleeve - Ottobre 03-2015-17:
And one regular raglan tee - Ottobre 01/2016#11 - Bla Bla Raglan T-Shirt:
He noticed that Eva's late tops had pockets and was sad his didn't had one even if i tried to explain different designs to him he was still disappointed his blouse didn't had pockets. He doesn't use chest pockets so I wanted to come up with a different solution he would actually like and use and I did 2 small welt pockets close to the tee bottom. He loved them. Yey!!Then I needed 2 more bottoms. I used the paperback pattern again and this time in 2 more stretchier fabrics so I could do just a mock fly and elastic in the waistband - Ottobre 06/2010 #31 Paperback writer pants:
The 1st pair is some black jacquard with a slight 3D effect and plenty of stretch. I had other items made from fabrics from that family and they were lovely to wear and very comfortable so I really hope he will enjoy wearing them because they are my favorite of the whole collection. Black is had to photograph and I had little opportunities but it looks so good on him.
The second pair is some stretch thin grey denim.
To complete the wardrobe I needed 2 more accessories so I decided to do 2 hats in the same fabric as 2 of the pants. I loved the look I made last summer coordinating hat with pants so I tried it again with the same pattern:
The black fabric was far from stiff so I interfaced the hell out of it both the exterior and the interior. For the black one I used the same fabric on both inside and out and with all the interfacing and more layer of thicker fabric it turned out a bit to tight on my son so there it is a good chance it will be Eva's. Even if it is a boy hat I think it looks cute on her as well.
One the gray one I use a thinner cotton for lining and O only double interfaced the brim. It looks better and I got the fitting better as well.
For construction I didn't use Ottobre instructions. They talked so much about allowances and interfaced that I got bored really fast . I just constructed the interior and exterior separately leaving and opening on the interior one and then joined them at the outer brim. Clipped and clipped and then clip some more. Ironing also helps a lot. Turn and top stitch the brim to stabilize it in place.
One very important note is to mark each piece and marking quite carefully. It's very easy to confuse them and lose shape because of it. I think the black one it just a little bit off but the for the gray one everything clicked perfectly since I was paying more attention to marks and ofc ... practice always helps.
There is the 16 Sudoku grid with 6 RTW for shoes 3rd hat and the leather jacket.3 t-shirts 2 pants and 2 hats should have gotten my debt down to 31 but I just received 13 new fabrics so I am at 57 debt with this ones.
You really impresses me! Great sewing skills! ♥
