The Dress Developer

Okay, honestly, I love this pattern. :D Skirts and dresses just suit me best, but sometimes a skirt just doesn't fit for #reasons. A skirt on the roller coaster - you can do it, but do you want to? ;) A case for coulottes!

Let's continue with the summer wardrobe! Another skirt, this time with inverted pleats opening out of the darts.

In the meantime, some parts for my summer wardrobe 2022 have been sewn. I will gradually introduce them and with them the patterns, if they are new.

We'll start with a simple skirt that has two narrow folds on each side: Violet.

Unfortunately, I have to report that an error had crept in with the new measurements for pants, more precisely with the drop-down for the buttocks form. This is based on an angle that was unfortunately multiplied by a factor of 10. This resulted in a picture like this for the back pants leg:

Finally! The pants kit is live!

That was a real mammoth task. I can't remember how many pants I sewed. Plentiful. :D

But I think now I can let the pants kit loose on the world.

With "Pansy" we finally come to the pants patterns. Pansy is a basic legging to wear underneath on cold days.

Accordingly, the set of measurements has been expanded to include a few new measurements. If you want to download a pansy that fits your measurements exactly, first create a new sizing chart, either just the pants measure set, or the complete measure set with all measurements.

I'll try some videos. At least I would like to introduce the most important functions of the website. And then we'll see. At the moment this is admittedly still a lot of "trying out".

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. :)

These are properly the first gatheres I have ever sewn. Weird, I could not imagine wearing something with gathered sleaves a short while ago. But I think I like it.

Before midsummer finally breaks out here, I took quick photos of my new bathrobe. Ok, new is a bit relative, because it has been in use for a few weeks, even when the seam allowances were not all covered with bias tape. : D

I sewed them on by hand little by little, and that took a couple of TV evenings. I put the pattern together with the construction kit. If you want to sew it up, you can use this configuration and change it according to your wishes.

I've been thinking a lot lately about which direction this website should take. When developing patterns, there are things that I enjoy more and things that I enjoy less. Not surprising.

Nonetheless, I run this website primarily as a hobby, so I think it is adequate to think if I can get rid of some of the less fun things.
