Inspiration: Top Made from Rectangles of Fabric

Today I managed to get some photos of one of my finished jackets. I drafted the pattern myself using my own block, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out. I also think it pairs beautifully with my new outfit, made from this gorgeous marocain crepe from ABC Fabric, the burgundy and teal colours work so well together.

I created the top using two rectangles and two ties, inspired by an Instagram reel, The trousers are also my own creation, drafted from my trouser block with a few adaptations. I love how everything has come together. 🥰

Self-Drafted Grey Wool Blend Jacket

She is finally completed and will get pictures with me wearing it soon. I have one more lesson left before my course is all over! 😭

This is my grey wool blend jacket lined with purple Marocain crepe, made from my own blocks I have made for my measurements. I love all the learning of how to construct it all on my own without instructions. Being able to draft your own blocks is the best thing I've learnt and now there is no stopping me. I just need to learn how to grade sizes but that's coming in January

I also added a little scarf to match. 😁

The Paris Dress By Designer Stitch Patterns

Just in time for all the party celebrations, say hello to the fabulous new Paris Dress from Designer Stitch Patterns!

Paris is made for woven fabrics, and I whipped mine up in a dreamy flocked polycotton and a silky satin. I couldn’t choose a favourite length, so… I made both! One at 60 cm and one at 75 cm because why not?

And the best part? You can add a matching self-fabric belt and the cutest little shoulder-tie accents.
I’m officially party-ready in my brand-new Paris dresses, and I’m obsessed!
