Over Shirt, Classic Shirt & Worker Trousers
As someone who worked their tail off during the pandemic, I’ve not been sewing for the last 4+ years. Looking for a reentry point, I came across the Modern Sewing Co patterns. This bundle is proving to be total inspiration. I am about to compete the trousers. I signed up for the capsule course in addition and will be working on the overshirt next. The instructions are thorough and logical, the patterns beautifully marked- nothing wonky! I’m enjoying the process because I am not guessing what to do next and the pre-sewing work the instructions help you do significantly increases the chance of having something that fits as expected. The tailoring details really make the sewing feel special.
Plus I love seeing everyone else’s makes. Seeing so many creative variations on the blog has me daydreaming about what comes next! I kind of have this feeling like I may never lose my sewing mojo again. : )
