One Thimble Issue 14

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog.

Finally! One Thimble Issue 14 is out! I have purchased it and so far no regrets! I am lining up some patterns to print and already planning to sew! Especially the Amuse Boho Dress!!

I had come across One Thimble a couple of times but had only taken a good look at it after my tester experience with Serger Pepper Designs for her exclusive pattern for One Thimble Issue 14 (OT14).

I was flooded with testers versions of all the patterns in that issue and boy I was smitten, I knew I had to purchase it and make something for myself more than anything! That Amuse Boho top is to die for (apart from the Justin Pants which I tested, of course!)

There are 10, yes TEN, patterns in this issue, and 27 interesting helping sewing articles!

Go ahead, click here, read all about it and purchase it already!

And yes, I am on the affiliate program, but you know I won't be selling what I won't buy!

I will surely share with all of you what I have made in the next few post, once I feel better and got my feet on that sewing pedal again! In meantime, I am gonna send the patterns for printing and prep myself for a good storm of creations!

A happy sewist,
Jun

Testing for Serger Pepper

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog.

Yeay! So I finally got chosen to test a pattern! And two sizes! I was nervous initially, but it all went well and I finished well before the deadline!

I was testing this wonderful exclusive pattern by Serger Pepper for One Thimble Issue 14. How honoured, right??? I am still recovering from that excitement!

Serger Pepper who? Ah, designer is Irene Valle from Italy! She is so nice, kind and friendly! Always answering us promptly when we got stuck and had questions.

So what did I test? I tested the Justin Pants! It is such a cool piece!!

Yes Drop Crotch pants! And multiple pockets!!!!

And I fit a sz 14!!! Double yass!!!

I love the fit, I love the funky-ness!! I love everything about this pattern!!

Testing it was fun, wasn't that hard, because someone quickly proofread it before I started and a few asked some important steps. So I pretty much zoomed through when there are hardly any problems. I solved the waistband issue bit (feeling a bit proud here!).

I initially wanted to use bubble crepe for the yokes, but it was a terrible mistake, the fabric moved 12389347281 times as I cut and got super out of shape, so I ended up using just good ol' cotton for everything. The teardrop floral piece is Bellaboo. the white floral one I forgot, but both are 100% cotton with no stretch. And oh boy it feels oh so comfortable!!!! I keep falling in love and kept feeling oh so proud whenever I wear it like I had to tell people it is an exclusive pattern designed by Serger Pepper and it will be exclusively released with One Thimble Issue 14. The issue date is Feb 10th, I think. Oh grab it guys!

It was so good, I made another piece!

This time I used denim knit for the front yoke and leg parts, and denim woven for the pockets and back yoke. It is oh my.. I love it too much! I used leg cuffs or bands for this one and turned it into a pair of joggers. Oh.. It is great. Too awesome! 

I think this will end up a staple in my wardrobe. So I made our 3rd pair!
