Lekala 4511 in big bold black and white stripes

Trying to finish and review some of the stripes I have been working this month.I have started this project after the jumpsuit for Eva started to get a form and I was really in love with how black and white stripes directions looked on the center front.

I immediately thought of this beloved pattern and though it will be a perfect opportunity to create a new tee. I had a black and white version desire for 2 years or more when I made the last black and white version of this pattern and it was one of my favorite tees ever.

So here is Lekala 4511 again:

Getting some quick photos on the way to dinner. The photographer was hungry...

 But we found later a small wass that matched my stripes and had to take some quick fhotos too even if the light was not ideal...

Too many polka dots !?! Burda Capris 07/2018 #102 and Simplicity 1539

   Stripes and polka dots... stripes and polka dots... I had a lot of this fabrics pulled out of my stash lately and I really loved this crepe rayon with big dots. I was hoping I will use it for a different project but after some consideration I decided it will not work... 

So 2 nights ago I cut my first SytleArc pattern. I was way too tired to start sew it but still in the mood to sew something so I used one Burda Capris 07/2018 #102 that I just tested during the weekend and found way to large but also comfy ( I will have those photographed at some point I hope...):

   For this project I wanted a long legg and not as full as the ones I got using straight size 38. So I used the hem line from design 101 and added about 2 inches ( 5cm ) more. I reduced a lot of the fullness and also eliminated the side seam both accomplished buy overlapping the 2 pattern pieces and flat measure the leg width until I got that I wanted. (To be able to easily pull them on but nothing more than that). The ties also had to go. They are cute but not for the long length.
   Those went together really quick and the felt good to me so decided to make a matching top from the leftover piece. After trying on a few tops I own I decided a peplum one could work so I pulled out Simplicity 1539:

And I cut view E  with short sleeves and no bow. Also got the peplum a bit longer. I barely had enough fabric for it all but I did it... I did most of the set that same evening/night and then some finishing touches yesterday and now I am wearing a new outfit.
   I am not 100% sure how I feel about the look, but I really like the fabric - it is very pleasant to wear and the whole design is comfortable so it might work for me

What do you think?

 Busy sewing and no time shopping so Sewing 112 - Shopping 93.

Totally lost count on Butterick 6492 - but here we are one more

 I was really involved with dots and lines this months but I still want to catch up on a few other projects. I know I have made more than 10 of those but I am really wearing them daily and feel great in this design. Perfectly comfortable to wear, pockets and a bit unusual:

This time I used a stable jersey with mig motifs print and a slight 3D texture.
I picked some sort of necklace line around the front opening :

Continuing with that like of print didn't seemed that great for the lower front so I used The seaming on the front piece to turn the fabric 90% and change the print for the lower part. I was able to match the big circular motif quite well that you can easily be deceived there is not a seam there:

I also used circle for pockets but I think I should have better used the motif from the back inserts.

 I am quite pleased with this version and the effects I got from fabric placement:

More fun with stripes- fairy wings jumpsuit

 I really liked the hearts jumpsuit I made for Eva and i wanted to make one with 3/4 leg length and since this month theme is stripes and polka dots and Eva already had 2 dots dresses made for her I thought it might be fun to play with some stripes this time.
 I decided to use the same upper part from Ottobre  3/2018 #10 - fairy wings dress and the leggs from Ottobre 3/2015 #14 - Passerine Overall.

I replaced the back keyhole with an exposed red zipper and played a bit with stripes in the front:

 I also added a vent and a bow to the hem.
 I made the wings larger than the pattern.
 It didn't turned out as great as in my mind but I think is kind of cute and fun:
