Ok I'm repeating myself but I'm smiling. This is my second and final 'bedouin tent' made from Simplicity 2619. I have a pair of trousers from the pattern cut out ready to go, then I will bury this pattern deep in the back of the cupboard. I've used a two-toned brown and creme piping cord which really works well with the brown and creme cotton. Overall I'd recommend this pattern if you want a quick project. It takes about two hours to complete - and that included felled seams and the piping. I'm not sure what the next projects will be. Probably will continue with the mix of corporate and casual. I must finish the Burda purple silk top - it sits on the sewing table. If it could sing the song would be "what about me..It isn't fair..." and the new Patrones magazine is willing me to trace off a few of the best.
So ladies...watch this space!
i love this..and need some new work shirts..might have to clear the work table...and try one...
ReplyDeleteAre you burying the pattern for fear you will make a third version??? I love quick projects. Two hours from start to finish is practically sewing instant gratification.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking kaftan (nothing like a tent!) very stylish and beautiful fabric. I love that piping. Two hours is excellent going - I'm very impressed. I don't think you should bury this pattern - you should be making more of these beauties!
ReplyDeleteI like, I like!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty fabric and the colours really suit you. I hate everything I sew at the moment. I'm having a fat, old and ugly week.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it looks like a tent, at all. It's quite pretty in fact.
ReplyDeleteIt's an excellent fit and pretty style....not tent like at all. You will be comfortable....
ReplyDeleteWait - 2 hours from start to finish, including piping?! That is crazy! When I first saw your picture, I figured it was a detailed, long project. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteOoo... I love the print! Great job! I can't believe it's a 2 hour project...
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiflly made for a two hour job. Love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteNice color choice and love the piping detail!
ReplyDeleteCool looking top!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic top --- I love this style and the pattern seems to be a winner. Hopefully it won't get buried to deep in your cupboard!
ReplyDeleteGreat top!
ReplyDeletei love the fabric and the style will be comfy. You achieved a great fit.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cool,and casually chic in this top. I think it is very flattering because is a semi fitted caftan versus tent like. I like the way the patterned piping looks with the print fabric. A nice detail.
ReplyDeleteA 2 hour project? Incredible! It looks lovely and cool, we're having another spell of 39C days here and your top looks like something I really need in my wardrobe...!
