If you haven’t realized by now that this is a Roscoe Blouse fan page, then you haven’t been paying attention. 😉 I bought this cool double ikat cotton fabric from Fabriclore last July, and I thought I wanted to make a classic button up shirt with it. But then I made 2 other classic button ups in almost the exact … Continue reading “True Bias – Roscoe Blouse with Button Front”
I’ve been doing a little bit selfless sewing lately and made this Roscoe Dress for my lovely mother-in-law while she was visiting. One of the days that she was here, we took the train to Cascais, and I had my heart set on going to the fabric store Ourotêxteis. I only had plans to get matching thread for some fabric … Continue reading “True Bias – Roscoe Dress”
This is the outfit I was most excited to finish before our trip to Portugal, and I finished it just in time! We ended up getting covid a few days after we were there, so we didn’t get to explore as much as we had hoped, but we still really loved it there. Here are a few photos from our … Continue reading “Roscoe Blouse – Mandarin Collar + Elastic Sleeves”
The Roscoe Blouse (up to 59.5″ hip) is one of the patterns that I’ve experimented with the most, over the years. When I made it in a cotton ikat for the first time, the designer, Kelli, let me know that it would be pretty big and blousy if the fabric didn’t have a lot of drape (like rayon), and she … Continue reading “True Bias Roscoe Blouse + EA Sews Saturday Shorts”
I’m back at it with the second button up Roscoe Blouse that I really wanted to finish before moving onto some fall sewing. I loved my first short sleeved version, so I really wanted to try a shirred short sleeve, similar to the one I saw Alexis @mysweetsunshine make. If you’re wondering how I made the Roscoe into a button … Continue reading “Roscoe Blouse (Button Up + Short Shirred Sleeves)”
I have really enjoyed making tops lately, and have been thrilled with how they’ve turned out. But this shirt was on a whole new level, because I have had this fabric since June of last year, and have dreamed about it since January 2019 when Carole Rankin posted her Roscoe Blouse made with this fabric. So I was all squeals … Continue reading “True Bias – Roscoe Blouse (Button Up, Short Sleeved)”
I’m coming at you today, writing this blog post wearing my new jeans!! I am still slightly in shock that I actually did it and that they fit! These are the Mid-Rise Ginger Jeans by Closet Case Patterns. I made a straight size 12 with no adjustments, except that I cut 2″ off of the hem when I was all … Continue reading “Ginger Jeans + Roscoe Blouse”
Alright! Back to [semi]regularly scheduled sewing for myself (no more Lego playmats)! Thanks for sticking around though that. I have so many colorful button-up shirts and blouses pinned on my Pinterest, and I knew I needed to make one. I was a little bit on the fence about using the Roscoe pattern to make it look more like the top … Continue reading “Mandala Genra Shirt”
The temperatures are occasionally starting to drop here in Portugal, so I can feel myself getting more excited about fall sewing. But before I switch gears, I really want to share a few things I sewed in the past month for my summer wardrobe. All of these patterns are great. They are so nice, I sewed them twice (or sometimes … Continue reading “Summer Basic Repeats”
We had our first Lisbon Sewist Meet-Up a year ago, and I met so many other amazing sewists in the area. One of them was Susana who is the sweetest person, and she’s also a really great pattern designer. She mainly designs children’s clothing, and her patterns are all available at Suco by Susana on Etsy. She was kind enough … Continue reading “Suco by Susana – Fragola Top”
