The TNT Greenwood

28.5.15

Today I´m continuing my series of tried n´true patterns. I started with the Linden but by now I have a few more I can add to this list.
I have recently tested the new Greenwood Tank by Straight Stitch Designs and it was a hit from stitch one. We all need basics in our wardrobe, but there´s a big difference between buying a bunch of tanks or making them yourself: well, that´s the difference, you made them.
Again, as the Linden, nothing extra about this pattern, it´s a simple tank. But you must think about everything that´s behind making a pattern like this: how do you adjust the neckline to please and fit everyone, how low should the armhole go, how to bind raw edges. And this, my friends, is exactly what turns simple into extraordinary. Kimberly is a knit pattern goddess.




I used a very soft cotton lycra that just feels like a second skin. I had this skirt sewn up long ago and never found the perfect top to go with it. It´s a simple lace skirt, lined, with a hand trimmed hem (yes, I hand trimmed that little bugger) from japonese book Casual Sweet Clothes. I´ve been living in simple clothes like this but I assure you that simple goes a long way on making you feel awesome.
The Greenwood is on a special release sale so be sure to add this staple to your memade wardrobe!
