Today I’m presenting my latest Friday wear. It’s an ideal project for beginners. At first glance, you might think it’s a dress, but it’s actually a top and a skirt.
The top is a raglan sleeve T-shirt, a pattern from Hey June that I’m so glad I found. I’ve already made it here. There’s only one modification I make every time: widening the neckline while keeping that lovely curve. I always make it in size M. The skirt is a super simple DIY I used to do when I first started and didn’t know how to trace a pattern. Basically: 2 rectangles, an elastic waistband, and voilĂ ! (more details here). You could also choose to lengthen the T-shirt to make it a dress instead of having two separate pieces. Personally, I preferred making a set because I feel it’s easier to wear to work than a dress (I was afraid it might be too form-fitting).
The fabric is a wool jersey from Tissu Market. They have superb quality fabrics. It’s true that their prices are relatively highâhere it was âŹ30 per meter of jerseyâbut the quality is amazing!
Today I’m introducing my new Friday wear. An ideal project for beginners. At first sight, one might think that this is a dress, but it’s actually a top and a skirt.
The top is a raglan T-shirt from Hey June patterns, a pattern I really cherish. Here is the first version I made. The only modification I always make is widening the collar, but I always keep its beautiful O-shape. The size used here is M. The skirt is a super easy project that I used to make when I didn’t know how to read a pattern: 2 rectangles and 1 elastic band at your waist and you are good to go! However, you might prefer to only sew the top and lengthen it to get a dress. I personally thought that a co-ord would be neater for work.
