I decided to make something I could wear for work. The pattern Lisette 2059 came with a magazine, I found the material in a local shop for £3. The garment in the pattern had long sleeves but I chose to put shorter sleeves on this one as the warmer weather is upon us. The front is plain with a coup
le of darts, the back is in four pieces with gathers running horizontally across the centre.
The cut is bigger than I would normally wear and I took it in 1″ smaller than the pattern size too.

I like the look of the fabric – and those gathers across the back!
Thank you! The fabric is quite thin, so I had to be careful not to snag it while working on it. It was a bargin at my local shop, I love it when we can wear something and it costs far less than you would expect.
That’s lovely and a good summer basic, glad the pattern worked out for you. I really need to sort myself out and get sewing!
Thanks 🙂 It was really easy to make, although I do struggle with sleeves. I used bias tape again on the neck edge. I thought the pattern size was really big, be conscious of that if you make it yourself.
What a great blog you have here! Am off for a better look round now 🙂
Thank you, I haven’t been “blogging” for very long, it’s nice to share our creations with the world 🙂
Don’t you love it when you finish it, then wear it and someone asks “Where did you get that?” Great job!
Thank you! Yes indeed, its a wonderful feeling and something to be very proud of 🙂
