A little more market garment sewing preview for you today. This time in the form of the Wiksten Tova.
I knew even before I had yardage of Sew Stitchy in my hands that I wanted to use the pin print in clothing of some description. I'm really happy with how it turned out and am looking forward to getting lots of wear out of it this autumn/winter.
In fact I love how it turned out so much, I just had to make another the very next day.
This one uses the grey French Knot Dot print from Sew Stitchy and is a really simple textured tone on tone print, perfect for clothing.
This one is the longer dress sized version of the pattern, I'm not usually one for dresses because they are usually far too dressed up for me.
But dressed down dresses, I can cope with.
This will be my last post before market. I don't have a booth but will be around the Moda booth as well as the C&T one, please come over and say hi.
Wow, they both look great! That pin print is my favorite of the whole collection. :)

I love them both, but the pin print is just amazing, the only questions is, can you make me one please, i don't do clothing?? No, but seriously, are they difficult to make? I really love the style of this, it's very me. Emjoy Quilt Market. Ange x

Hi Aneela. Your shirt and dress turned out well. Looks like a cute and functional pattern. Have a wonderful time at Market and in Houston. I hope you have a little time to look around the city. It's a great city (and my hometown). Best wishes and safe travels.

This looks great!

Very nice.I use to sew my own clothes but quit. This blouse could make me start again.Nope don't think so it would take away my quilting time.

They both look great. Have a successful trip to market.

How special - to wear clothes made by you from your own fabric!

What a great top. fJust had to let you know that I made a "Ninja" quilt using Walk in the Woods for the brakground for my granddaughter who is 7 and my daughter saw the scraps in my sewing room and she so loved it that I will be making her new baby to come in April a quilt from it too. Your fabric is so beautiful.

Love the top you made. A good fabric is hared to find these days to make tops out of, so I switched a number of years ago to quilt fabric. It's great cotton and prints like the ones you design work perfectly.
My LATE posting is because I just came across your blog even though I've enjoyed your fabric for the past couple of years.
