I’m starting to get my sewjo back! Oh, I can’t tell you how happy that makes me. Honestly, it’s been such a hard year for me. And losing my love for sewing only added to how hard it was.
But. I’m getting my desire to sew back and have had such fun testing a few new patterns.
You read about my testing Sigrid, B,Wear’s new panty pattern. I really do like the pattern! I’m going to make another pair because they are so comfortable.
And I think that’s the proof of a pattern to me – if I go back to it.
My favorite panty patterns of all time are:
You can only find this used now. It’s been discontinued. Although the description on Etsy calls this a bikini, it fits like a hipster on me. And this has been my TNT pattern.
My Self-Drafted Pattern
I used Beverly Johnson’s Craftsy class to draft these, and they’re similar to my Kwik Sew favorite.
House Morrighan’s Clover BoyBrief
These have been the patterns I’ve gone back to again and again.
However, I do love to test a new pattern because I never know when I’ll find a new favorite – like Sigrid.
One of my recent tests was from House Morrighan. When House Morrighan sends me a new pattern to test, I get excited. Something I look for in patterns is how well the pieces fit together. That should be a given, but sadly it’s not. With so many patterns being PDF now, it seems not all seams line up. House Morrighan’s do! And I like that!
Something else I love about House Morrighan’s patterns is she understands we have curves. And she builds curves into her patterns.
So when HM asks me to test a pattern, I get excited. I’ll have more to show you soon, but now I’ll show you the gorgeous fabric I used.
Oh, I love this too! I might have to get some more of this material. It’s a cotton Lycra from Smoogie Fabics. It is SO pretty!
I haven’t been only testing House Morrighan patterns though. I have a lovely make to show you this coming week. That’s all I’m going to say for now. But you won’t have to wait very long.
Happy creating!
