Welcome to my blog! I created ‘The Ravel Out’ to capture my makes while I unravel my sewing ideas, one stitch at a time.

Ravel (out)

verb

  1. unravel; untangle.

  2. undo (twisted, knitted, or woven threads).

I have been quite busy making a few summer items before the season is officially here. This means that I have had no time to review any patterns for a while. Here is a quick look at all the projects I have completed so far.

DRESSES:

  • Vogue 9251 - Fitted dress with side ties and uneven hemline

  • McCalls 7740 - Lined dress, fitted through the bust with back cutout

  • The Hemlock Tee by Grainline Studio (Free Pattern) - Boxy tee with dropped sleeves

TOPS & BOTTOMS:

  • McCalls 7757 - Off the shoulder tops and elasticized waist pull-on pants with pockets

  • The Shoreline Boatneck & Skye Joggers by BlankSlate Patterns - Great alternative to the basic t-shirt pattern with fitted mid-calf length joggers

THRIFTED REFASHIONS:

  • Thrifted denim dress (Before and After photos) - I took the sides of the dress in, shortened the sleeves and length

 

  • Thrifted eyelet skirt - changed from an elastic waistband to an interfaced waistband and raised the skirt to show off the eyelet feature a little more

 

MEN'S FASHION:

The Negroni Shirt by Colette Patterns - Yes, I made a shirt! This is a classic, button-up short sleeve shirt, with a more modern cut

I will write reviews for the new patterns in this group soon but for now, I hope you like my new pieces as much as I do.
