DIY Gathered Yoke Blouse — A review of the Aims pattern by Seamwork

DIY Gathered Yoke Blouse — A review of the Aims pattern by Seamwork

Hello friends! Today I'm happy to (finally) share a blouse that I made a few months ago. I think I actually started it in December of 2022 and then finished it up around late January or early February. All that is to say that I took my time with this make. The fabric is sheer and rather delicate so I decided to enclose all the seams and to use French seams throughout. I'm really glad that I took the extra time to enclose the seams and I love the blouse. It's already gotten quite a few wears over the past few months. So, let's dive in for all the details.

DIY Bra Tops - A review of the Seamwork Kaye pattern

I feel like I haven't done a lot of sewing just for myself this year but I'm that when I go back and look at my list of completed makes, it will be lengthy. I do have 100% certainty, however, that the Seamwork Kaye Top is my most often made pattern. I spend most of my sewing time making things for Sew DIY business – pattern samples, pattern hacks and tutorials. I love making those things but they're not as free and fun as making something just for myself can be.

DIY Fitted Knit Trousers - Review of the Seamwork Dexter pattern

Today I’m sharing a pair of pants that I finished way back in May. I actually started them at the end of February in preparation for a trip that I had planned for Italy in March. Sadly, once the trip was canceled due to covid, I abandoned the project for a few months.

I’m a little obsessed with finding the perfect travel wardrobe and I thought these pants would be the perfect new addition. When I travel, I want clothing that will be lightweight and easy to pack, comfortable to wear and hopefully a bit stylish too. This pattern is the Dexter pants by Seamwork magazine and they are a slim fit stretch knit pant. I imagined myself skipping around Rome in comfortable elegance. Le sigh.
