McCalls 7811: DIY Shoulder Princess Seam Shirts in Denim and Brushed Cotton

September 15, 2019.Reading time 10 minutes.

#ontheblog details of these kameez/ kurta tops and the churidar legging bottoms I made for our visit to India in the summer. I used @mccallpatterncompany #m6885 for the turquoise coloured top and @simplicity_creative_group @simplicitymccallsuk #s8295 for the white one. I self drafted the leggings from a pair of RTW ones. I think now adays there are so many commercial patterns which you can make work for Indian outfits like this. #isew #sewing #sewmanju #imadethese #imadethem #imakemyownclothes #diyfashion #fortyplusstyle #maker #makersgonnamake #sewingblogger #sewingaddict #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #kurta #kurtapajama #kameez #churidar #churidhar #sewingindianwear #indianoutfit #mccalls6885 #simplicity8295 #simplicitypatterns #simplicitybyme #mccallspatterns
A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to upgrade my machine (early birthday present thanks to the husband!) and over #ontheblog is a unbiased review of my @pfaffuk #pfaffquiltambition630 with some thoughts on how it compares to my old (and much loved) Janome and why I didn’t go for a Bernina. Go have a read if you like. #linkinbio #sewing #isew #sewingmachine #pfaff #pfaffsewing #pfaffsewingmachine #sewmanju #sewingblogger #maker #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #sewingaddict #quiltambition630 #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe
