Well, this WOULD have been my contribution to #shirtwaistseptember2025 if a few things hadn't gone wrong beforehand. Now I'm too late, but I wanted to finish the dress anyway, even though it probably won't actually be worn until next year.
The dress is once again slightly vintage-inspired, with a large grown on collar and matching cuff detail on the short sleeves.
In September, I'm starting my first ZUMBA class. Of course, I need something to wear. And I haven't done anything with my sewing kits in a long time. So, here we have my sports dress. A jersey dress with a half circle skirt.
I didn't sew any pockets into it this time (I know, boo!), but they would probably just swing around wildly while dancing. If you would like pockets, you can simply add them in the pattern kit.
Over the past few years, I have cut out and glued together hundreds of printed pages. Perhaps even thousands. Over time, it became somewhat tedious, if you understand what I mean.
So, I was all ears when I heard that digital sewing patterns can also be projected directly onto the fabric using a projector. I tried it, and it actually works!
Today I have something big for you. For all those who asked me, “How much fabric do I need for pattern XY?” Here's the answer!
With the layout tool, you can arrange your pattern pieces on virtual fabric and determine how much fabric you need. In addition, the layout can be downloaded as a project folder file.
So, I asked myself: Can a jumpsuit also be suitable for the bathroom? Not everyone wants to undress completely every time, right? ;)
This is the result of my deliberations. The pants are only firmly attached to the top at the front, the back is simply wrapped and held in place with a belt. So you can use the bathroom without any problems.
