Sewing for Autumn

Mostly Ottobre sewing, as usual. 


4/08 Pekka double sleeve tees. This is a nice slim fitting pattern.

Matisse from 1/11. Next time I'll just do the buttons as decorative rather than working because he doesn't need them. It goes over his head just fine without opening any of them.

4/10 #26 Madeleine, with length added because it runs short
With a corduroy skirt #20 from 4/07

4/10 Rousku pintuck blouse. I love this pattern! This is my third now. It's my favorite woven top pattern for girls. 

Henri zippered jacket from 1/11 without pockets. My zippers still need a little work. Great pattern, though.

Jodhpurs from 3/10. Another great slim-fitting pattern.


Pocket hooded sweatshirt #28 1/2008. I think next time I'd skip the elastic on the hood. It's a bit tight with it. 

Ice cream button band tee from 1/11. Great slim fitting pattern. I cheated on the button band/placket a bit. I cut out two, sewed them right sides together, turned, and then just topstitched on top of the gathers. 

Harava from 1/09. This one came out a bit too wide for my tastes.

Puffy blouse from 1/08. This one is really cute and I like the fit better than the Orvokki from 1/09.

Fun stripes velour jacket from 6/08. I've been wanting to make this one forever. Love it.

Modified pants from 1/09

Farbenmix Nena. Love these, will make some more.

Vilmariina Dress from 6/11 #13. I think I made a poor choice with the print here. It looks more like a nightgown than a dress to me. 

Pigeon pants, from 6/09

Neat Beat pants from 6/09

Pluto pants from 6/08. I love the details on these!


4/07 #15, Reversible coat with hood, raincoat

Baby's summer jacket # 8 from 3-07, turned raincoat. 

Beethoven, the long sleeve version of Apple from 3-10

Cucito Japanese magazine woven hoodie, from one of the Fall issues. 


Amanda blouse 6/07
