Easier Than I Thought

I will admit that first the pattern looked intimidating. All those loops! The tailored look! Honestly, the hardest part was finding buttons that looked good with the dress. I was disappointed there were no pockets but it looks so darn good I can see why the pattern maker didn't want to destroy that silhouette.

This dress was made in a rayon Challis and I added a full slip under it as the fabric was very light. I made it specifically for a garden party themed birthday celebration. Despite being tailored I was able to move and sit and walk comfortably. It was worth carrying a purse thing with me!

The hardest part for me was getting the loops the correct size for my chosen buttons. This was followed closely by getting the buttons in the right place. They kept creeping onto the placket. I finally gave in and hand tacked them where I wanted them and used the sewing machine to attach them securely.

I am planning to make the blouse version in one my many linen blends next. It will be lengthened so I can include the front and back darts. I will also be doing a forward shoulder adjustment. I am looking forward to making and wearing them! Yes, I plan on making more than one.

Great dress pattern

This dress is so pretty, and so easy to put together! I thought the button loops were going to be a pain during the muslin process so I used 1/4 inch elastic instead of the turned ones, and it was a breeze. I used a cotton voile and it made a lovely summer dress. I made the 16E/F graded to an 18 waist with a narrow shoulder adjustment and shortened the bust dart 3/4”. I plan on a linen shirt in the next day or two.

Inman Hack - I'm in love

I loved making this shirt. I hacked it into a beach cover-up in lightweight rayon.
I omitted the darts and made it a bit fuller at the sides, and lengthened it quite a bit. It comes to my knees (I'm short).
Instead of elastic binding at the sleeve, I added a flounce at the bottom with a split at the seam.
I then twisted the top, tied it into a knot, and left it so it would have the crinkles.
Perfect for this summer!

Classy Inman

The Inman pattern was quick and simple with the exception of those buttons loops. They weren’t difficult, only time consuming. The fabric was a good choice for a slightly more upscale look. I will choose a more summery fabric for a short sleeve version since the weather is warming up here. Basic patterns are so versatile!

I love it!

It is a great summer short sleeve blouse. I will make a few more.

In love with the Inman top

I immediately loved the styling of the Inman top. I loved the loop buttonholes. I am finishing up with a pretty floral linen cotton blend. It has sewed beautifully. I am planning a the dress too. Thanks for an awesome design.

A little tricky but worth the time to sew

I found the loop buttons to be a little tricky. I think it was more my lack of skill and not the pattern. However, I would have to say that this is a pattern for an advanced sewist.
