We had some warm and beautiful days two weeks ago. I wore a few days Summer clothes and also started thinking about makes for the coming Summer. I came across this back button boxy top on internet. Fibremood showed the Josie Boxy Top. In this case: One and one makes one. Time to start finding some fabric for my version.
Eind april hadden we een aantal warme dagen. De zomerkleding werd aangetrokken en daarmee kwam de vraag wat ga ik maken voor de komende zomer.
Ondertussen was het nieuwe thema van de LS2gether uitdaging bekend: ‘laat je inspireren door een ander’. Ik ging op internet op zoek naar inspiratie met de komende zomer en vakantie in het achterhoofd en zag een boxy top met knoopsluiting middenachter.
En laat nu toevallig de volgende dag mij oog vallen op de Fibremood Josie Boxy Top. Eén plus één is één en ik ging aan de slag.
The announcement of this edition of the ‘Designin December’ challenge was done a few weeks ago. ‘Designin December’ is all about finding a designer original garment and make your designer me-made copy. I decided to make a two-piece part outfit suitable for Boxing Day and the days towards New Year. So here is my Homemade two-piece ‘Designin December’ 2017 party outfit story.
Elle Puls Tunika Elle meets Closet Case Kalle Shirt is a so called Hack. You often find pattern hacking term on sewing blogs. It’s a bit of mixing and matching with a pattern or patterns. The cropped and boxy look of the Kalle shirt are todays style features. I decided to mix the Tunika Elle with the Kalle shirt. The cropped version of the Kalle shirt has just like the Tunika Elle a wide faced hem. Both patterns have a hidden button placket, an optional breast pocket and band collar. After a night sleep I had some idea of how I would be mixing both patterns. I also had a test model of a welt pocket that I made more then two years ago on a shelf. This pocket was the perfect detail for my hack.
Er is ook een Nederlandse versie. Deze vind je aan het eind van de Engelse tekst.
