Sigrid is having the time of her life sewing with SFD! Well, maybe not the time of her life, but she sure is sewing up a SFD storm. From not having sewn for herself for a number of years, due to a number of different reason - one being she was never happy with the resulting fit from regular patterns - she has been designing and sewing with SFD and really enjoying herself. She's been so kind as to send photos of her recent garments which look great and comfy on. I though you all might like to see what she's accomplished.
This top is simple, fun and fanciful - a simple dolman sleeve with scoop neck to go with her
SFD Leggings.
And here are her leggings. They fit and look quite comfortable.
This V-neck top has been designed from the Dress Kit and features contrasting yoke, sleeve and hem trim.
This is a hankerchief style of hem that was her inspiration for her Raglan Sleeve top.
Thanks so much for sharing your accomplishments, Sigrid. No wonder you are having so much fun sewing again.
If any others of you would like to share your work, please send photos directly to me - info@surefitdesigns. You know I always want to see what you've done - and so do others.
What a great collection! I really love the fabric in the V-neck top.
ReplyDeleteAnd my daughter wants to know how Sigrid did the heart on the dolman top.
ReplyDeleteYes, the heart was done doing reverse applique. I'd never done any sort of applique before, but it turned out to be very easy.

Very nice and PERFECT fit! That's what we love about SFD. The leggings are adorable!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Sigrid will read these comments and tell us all how she did the heart. I'm sure it's likely an applique process. Kindly, Glenda
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies,

SFD is the most awesome system EVER!
The "handkerchief" inspired top got chopped - it's now turned into an A-line top because the dangly bits didn't work the way I wanted them to :o)
