What You Made – Summer Edition

I thought it high time for another round up of the gorgeous garments I’ve seen popping up. The Onyx was our best seller for a while, but last month the Jasper has taken over again – it seems people have autumn on their mind already! What i also love is that several people have either made more than one of our patterns, or made the same pattern more than once. Isn’t that just the best compliment? Well it is to someone who rarely makes a pattern twice :) And it appears the Onyx crop top (View B) is perfect for combining in a two piece setacular, be it with a skirt or pants. Enjoy these gorgeous makes, I hope you’ll find some inspiration in here!

How to Choose Your Size

When you open the Onyx .zip file, you might find that we have organised the files a little different from usual. This has to do with the size chart and drafting methods that we have chosen. You can read about the why of this in this post. Here I’ll show you how you can find the right size easily.

What You Made: Jasper Sweater/Dress

A couple of amazing Jaspers have popped up in the last month, and I thought I’d share them with you. The amazing thing with creativity is that it takes every person in a different direction. I think a pattern only comes to its full potential when sewed up by other people than the designer. The makes below prove my point!

About to Make Our Pattern? Check Your Version Number!

One of the reasons I like a pattern in PDF form is that it is not a static product. A digital product can be altered even after people have bought it. Even though a pattern has gone through a thorough testing phase, there’s always things that can come up later. Sometimes it’s just a typo, other times it is the wording of an instruction step, sometimes it’s something in the pattern design. Different people notice different things – it cannot be avoided.

How to Match Stripes on Princess Seams

One of the Jasper product samples is made with a fun striped sweatshirt fleece. I had envisioned this one and was eager to bring it to life, but at the same time I didn’t look forward to matching the stripes on the princess seam bodice. In the end it wasn’t that hard, just a bit of extra prep work. If you want a stripy Jasper too, no need to fear! In this post I’ll show you how to match the stripes in the most important places.

Choosing Buttons for the Jasper Hood

Adding buttons to the Jasper hood is of course optional, but for me it just looks more finished with buttons. They are not functional, but they give the impression that the hood is wrapped around your head almost.

Different types and colours of buttons can completely change the style of your hoodie. Below are a couple of example. The big black ones make it bold, the white and checkered ones give it more of a 60’s looks, and so forth. I love the flower ones but they were a bit big for my taste – I wish I had bought the smaller version!
