I made my first mock up for the finch. I did one sleeve short and one 3/4. I'm glad I did the trial run. I would like the short sleeve longer, the 3/4 shorter, and the front bodice a touch longer. I also think I may have gone a size too large based on my ease at the sides. I love the pattern and I'm glad I'm able to dial it in.
I just spent the day sewing my first Finch Shirt. I discovered that the fabric I bought at the thrift store was linen. I had just enough to squeeze a Finch out of it. Normally I would have made it a bit longer, but that wasn’t an option. But for 40 DKK (that’s about $6 USD) it was still worth it. So no frills—short sleeves. Next time it will be a bit longer and with sleeves. It’s simply the best wearable
muslin. The photo is terrible because daylight is in short supply on a gray spring day. ☁️✂️
It turned out great! It's such a cute pattern. It's on my make list as well. You're so lucky to find linen at the thrift store!
Yesterday I put out my seasonal survey for everyone to vote on which pattern I make next, and it looks like the Argent and Sable dress is taking the lead for sure! Thank you to everyone who voted ❤️ I'm excited to make this one, and I think it will be perfect for our spring/summer wardrobe building 🪡
Awesome! This is exactly why I love making a sample first. I honestly learned to start doing it way too late in life. Makes all the difference!
