I was itching to make myself some new tops for the fall, and I did! I wanted some fun and colourful shirts, and here they are. (The pattern used for this shirt is a modified one based on Simplicity 5799.)
There are some foxes, porcupines, acorns, mushrooms, and leaves. I like it.
The next one is a carrot print.
Here's the closeup of the carrots that are scattered all over. This reminds me that I should arrest some carrots in a pot before it gets too cold.
My friend gave me those fabrics, and I am very grateful for the generous length of each fabrics she gave me. They were both at least 2 metres in length.
If you're thinking of gifting some fabrics to friends who sew clothes, at least 2 meters is a very good length. With 0.5 metre or 1 metre, one cannot really make much. Of course, one can make small items and accessories, like pouches, bags and scrunchies, but not too many clothing items. If you are going to surprise your sewing friend, a minimum of 2 metres is often needed to make something that is wearable. For example, with 1 metre, maybe a sleeveless top for a medium sized-person can be made. But 3 to 4 metres of fabric can be made into a pajama set or a dress. This also depends on the width of the fabric. Sometimes, 1.5 metres of a wide fabric can be enough to make a shirt with long sleeves. It also depends on what the clothe size is, too.
