It may be a bit boring, but I am still only doing Simons. There will hopefully be something else soon. But for now, I’d like to share more Simons. I have three new showcases since last time I posted.
Let’s go chronologically. My spouse had found a very nice mushroom fabric, very good quality Japanese cotton with a crazy magic mushroom print, and gave me a few meters as a present, with the implicit request to make a Simon out of it, of course. I found two matching single colour fabrics in my fabric stash to combine with, and I tried to make the most serious shirt I could with this fabric.
If you do not add this tag, we will not include this on our main website.
Thanks for helping us curate our showcase library
PS: If you have already included the showcase-on-website tag, then please ignore this message. I am not currently smart enough to figure that out on my own
The next shirt was an attempt at a rainbow combined with black, after I had gathered very colour- and beautiful batik fabric during several visits to fabric stores. I wanted a subtle rainbow, but not simply by a sequence of coloured fabrics, so I though combining and contrasting it with black might work well.
The newest shirt I made is from a fabric I had lying around literally for years. I had known or at least planned for a long time to start sewing, until finally last year, the discovery of this website, the tip from a friend at my local maker space, made it happen. As I said a couple of times: I cannot thank you enough, sewing feels like a superpower. Cutting of this fabric needed quite some preparation, and I waited until I felt confident with the basic sewing business, and also to avoid ruining the fabric by lack of experience.
And there is nothing about only making Simon’s. It’s not the simplest make on the site and you can have a lot of fun with the various design options and the huge variety of fabrics out there. Keep making what you enjoy making/wearing and share with us as much as you’re happy with.
