Burda - Andre Shorts

Pattern: Burda - Andre Shorts
Size: XL
Fabric: 1M of 60" width linen (Kamdar)
Details:

• Added in-seam pockets in white muslin
• Amended pattern so that the sides are cut straight 
• I applied the elastic differently where I sew the waist band while the elastic is in the casing.  I find this is easier than pushing the elastic through after the waistband casing is sewn
• Love working with linen

Grainline - Scout Woven Tee

Pattern: Grainline - Scout Woven Tee
Size: 12
Fabric: 2M 45" Local Polyester (Kamdar)
Cost: RM5.00 / M
Details:

• Used store bought satin bias binding
• Bias binding for neckline
• Seams are French seamed including sleeve seams 
• Garter 3/4 sleeve
• Narrow 1/4" hem
• The fabric was labeled Silk Viscose. I knew it wasn't, not at RM5.00/M!
• I figured since this fabric is quite flowy, it'll benefit more with a narrow hem
• The sleeve is a franken sleeve from Wiksten Tova.  I cut the cuff wrongly :( so I opted for the garter sleeve instead ... easy peasy

 

Used a bodkin to insert the elastic

Details:

• Added in-seam pockets in white muslin
• Amended pattern so that the sides are cut straight

The cotton twill was very nice to work with

The black denim bled quite a lot
