I am ready for spring!
Where have I been? Weeks have past by but it is still not spring.I could not care less as I am completely into spring and absolutely denying that I am freezing cold. I also had to fight a bad cold which made me even more ignorant to cold!
But, but, but I progressed in my comfortable Hand stitched
T-shirt project. The last version posted was a drapey one with one seam at the side. This drape was not very comfortable and also not tummy-friendly so I worked on a legere version, which is fun to wear and comfortable, very. Might post pics of this one later.
But now I have moved away one step. This Hand stitched top is made in one piece, meaning I folded the fabric at the shoulders and cut a hole for the neckline. Consequently there are no seams on top of the arms either. This way the jersey is gently hanging on my shoulders. Again words seem not to be able to describe what I mean. Compared to a normal sleeve, the lack of seems in this area makes an enormous difference.
The side seams have only a touch of batman wings. This gives more freedom of movement to the arm but also relaxes the armpit.
I chose Organic Cotton/Bamboo jersey, which feels gorgeous.
This prototype is short but works for layering with a tank top, but I started already a longer version....
Now to the very comfortable Hand stitched Yoga Pants.
I have posted the white version earlier.
I have made the experience that wearing white only works if I feel comfortable. So I started to design my Kundalini Yoga outfit. I started with leggings, as it was winter and the need of layering required a simple cut for the pants. But now the layers are about to be reduced or vanish, so I could experiment with the shape of the pants. Saying that this drop crotch version is so comfortable that I might stop wearing leggings!!!!! I wish you could try for yourself. The no impact comfort makes such a difference. Additionally there are 4 tucks on each side, which is a nice element and again adds to the comfort.
So I am switching between designing for Yoga and adapting for urban life or designing for everyday life and creating a white Yoga version......As I did with the grey Valentine's cardigan ....there is now an off white Yoga Version.
Well I am ready for spring.
Actually skip spring, I am ready for summer.
