Jayna has come a
long way. She attended the SFD Fit & Sew Retreat in August. She admitted that she did mostly craft projects (prior to the Retreat). Why? You guessed it - body hard to fit - commercial patterns certainly didn't work and most R-T-W offered a marginal fit at best.
The SFD Retreat stimulated her inherent love of creating and sewing. She left there enthused to take up personal sewing again. I encouraged everyone to go home and sew their 'test' patterns just one more time. These are Jayna's second test pants and complimentary blouse/shirt. Don't you agree she did a fabulous job?
But even though these were to be her second test pants, she decided to make it an outfit with coordinating blouse fabric with contrasting piping trim on the sleeves and collar.
And...she had never designed pockets and belt loops before, much less sewn them into pants.
Here's a close-up of Jayna's first time pockets and belt loops. Jayna commented to me that she'd never designed anything relating to her clothing patterns, but when she got into it, she said the SFD Jeans directions were clear, simple and easy to follow. And the great part is, she loved the process! Didn't she do a great job? But of course, the best part is the result, they are sewn beautifully and fit so well.
Her blouse is from her Dress Kit bodice blueprint (sloper). Though you can't see it really well because of the fabric print, the bust dart is located in the standard side seam position.
The sleeve uses the Short Sleeve series of dots on the sleeve pattern. The red piping matches her pretty tank top.
This Rolled/Convertible collar is from the new SFD Collar Collection. Yes that's right! Sure-Fit Designs is coming out with our new Collar Collection. Six different collar patterns are offered with extensive instructions. Now you won't need to create your own from scratch - they'll all be available - all you've got to do is copy your choice of collar shape. Make sure you watch for your December SFD newsletter where I plan on announcing this Master Collar Shapes Collection.
Kindly,
Glenda
