Deep into embroidering the robe, sashiko stitching is really engrossing, and got a Bernadette Banner alert on YouTube. Which unfurled my next adventure in sewing Something Nice to Wear.
To wit: a pirate shirt.
For sheer pleasure in watching a great hand sempstress at work, follow Bernadette Banner. She's funny, wildly skilled and she has a pet guinea pig, Cesario.
I'm definitely up for this. I may have enough linen to make it, too. Already made notes unintelligible to anyone but me. Some kind follower transcribed Bernadette's handwritten notes and I copied for my design book, because you never know with pix. This is another make your own pattern from notes kind of design.
Never a dull moment.
Thank you for the note to check out her blog
ReplyDeleteThe shirt will be interesting to see what you select.
It's a channel on YouTube. Do go and see. She's very entertaining. For people not used to her rapid fire delivery, full of quotations and references, playback speed at 75% is a good idea.
DeleteFun video. I like the shirt pattern.
DeleteThat sounds like fun and "Talk Like a Pirate Day" is this coming Saturday, 9-19!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's a requirement if you're wearing the pirate shirt. Hm.
DeleteA pirate shirt - well, I will follow the developments of this one with great interest. Really do wish I had the ability to 'do clothing' but it's one of my downfalls. The only clothing I've ever made with any degree of success were the recycled denim jackets and I was able to justify those in my mind by telling myself they were a craft.
ReplyDeleteThey were lovely. I think the shirt will be a hoot!
