V1694 in Rei japanese cotton from nani iro

We made my best selling pattern V1694 straight out of the pattern envelope using Rei, a fabulous Nani Iro cotton double gauze in a vibrant color way. I wanted to see how the seaming in the design would work using one print with no fussy cutting, simply laying out the fabric and pinning on the pattern, placing the pieces where they land. I had used another Nani Iro fabric for one view on the pattern envelope, so already knew that the fabric is a perfect weight for the style. The result is a winner, a just-right combination of pattern and fabric - and you could have similar results with any of our Nani Iro cotton double gauze fabrics.

KATHERINE'S ELLSWORTH SHIRT IN BLACK HANKY LINEN

KATHERINE SAYS:

The Ellsworth Shirt is a simple, flattering shirt that I will wear all summer. The pattern itself runs larger than I wanted so I cut this version smaller and longer, while simplifying and lengthening the sleeves.

Notes and changes made to the pattern:

  • Black hanky linen was machine washed and dried. The finished shirt will no longer go in the dryer and will be worn purposely wrinkled.
  • I cut two sizes smaller than my normal size. Paper fit the front and back to determine which size pattern will give you the look you want.
  • Added 8” in length, shifting the side openings down on the pattern.
  • Added 3” in length to the center front, grading up to the side. This adjusted the front length to make accommodation for a full bust and tummy.
  • Added 1” to the sleeve length.
  • Cut 4 sleeve cuffs and used them to make a simple turn back cuff with a slit.
  • Added an extra 1½” band down the front. ...READ MORE ON THE BLOG

NEW JAPANESE COTTON

SEERSUCKER

v1899 in cotton Plissé

Plissé and seersucker are perfect fabrics for a light and airy spring into summer shirt. (I just bought one here in Paris). Last season I made V1899 in black Japanese plissé. We're out of this exact fabric but have a new version, Black Pepper Dots Plissé, also in white, White Salt Dots Plissé.

The difference between Plissé and seersucker is that with plissé the crinkles are made after the fabric is woven when a special chemical is printed onto the fabric causing it to pucker. The crinkles in seersucker are woven in. Both are comfortable to wear and ideal in hot weather. Some of the best cotton seersucker and plissé fabrics are produced in Japan where they have fine tuned the process because of there hot humid summers.
