I’m finally taking pictures of my sewing projects since April. This is Marfy 1913, the blouse that everyone made a few years ago when Marfy released it as a free download. I’ve made several for other people, including modifying the pattern so it’s dress length, but this is the first one I’ve made for me.
The fabric is from EOS. It’s a silk crinkle chiffon with the prettiest floral design. There was just enough fabric that I could make the blouse double-layered, and match the colour design of the fabric.
Like everyone else who has made this pattern, I have plans for others. It’s not difficult to make, requires very little fabric, and is simple to alter.
The trousers in this outfit are Burda 1/2016 #135. I’ve made three versions of them, which I’ll be sharing with you. I love the details, and I love how they fit. I’ve always shied away from slim fitting trousers, being a curvy shape. I dread looking like an inverted pyramid, but these seem to fit perfectly and they’re fun to make with all the seaming details.
The denim is an Italian denim is from EOS. This also was a roll end. I was pretty pleased with the quality when I made these purple jeans, so I jumped when I saw this roll end available. There was just enough to squeeze these trousers out of 1.3 yards.
This denim has a lot of body to it, and feels quite different from the softer fabrics I made these trousers in, which changed how they fit. You’ll see this next time when I post pictures from Drumheller! I went on a road trip through my childhood haunts in Western Canada. These pictures today are at my grandmother’s farm in Alberta. It was a great trip, although I didn’t purposely photograph what I packed and wore. Anyways, it’s great to be back!
Lovely fabric but your topstitching is the best!
Cannot even imagine being able to topstitch with such precision. But of course you’ve done it beautifully; the whole outfit is just lovely.
Ah the Marfy blouse, I’ve made it twice and it always elicits comments, must pull it out and try the dress length, its a winner. Lovely makes as always
Delightful. So good to see you and your beautifully made garments in my feed again.
The picture of the seam junction on your trousers should be classed as NSFW – I swooned so hard! The line drawing of those burda’s have definitely piqued my interest – fabulous. I just love that peach colour, the crinkle chiffon looks gorgeous (and I would imagine, match to many many other things!). Like Mrs Mole above me says – you look both comfortable and very chic! Gorgeous.
haha! You’re too funny! I’m pretty pleased with it, too, as it satisfies my inner tyrant, The Perfectionist.
I love both these garments! Sophisticated yet casual, they look wonderful on you.
I am in awe of your beautiful top stitching! I am looking at jeans and pants patterns, so thanks for your review!
Beautiful garments but outstanding seam matching!
Nice to see you back and looking radiant. Gorgeous silk top and like everyone else, I’m in awe of your topstitching.
The blouse is beautiful (what a fabric!) but I am in awe of your perfectly matched seams and top stitching. Amazing!
Such a pretty top! Love your pictures.
Wow, I love that Marfy top on you. Its been sitting in my pattern archive for a very long time – perhaps this summer?
Yes!! It is definitely worth digging out of the stash!
It’s a lovely outfit! Can’t wait to see more of your travel wardrobe!
Really beautiful, and both the top and pants are super flattering. All your stitching details are inspiring!
Perfect topstitching, interesting details on the design and slight texture to the fabric- just wonderful.
Love the seam detail in the pants. The fabric for the Marfy top is a beautiful watery delicate print, perfect.
Just lovely! So glad you made it home.
Thanks for reviewing the pants. I’ve planned to sew them since their were issued but never did. Your topstitching is sooooo perfect !
Slowly slowly slowly makes the topstitching go well. I do often rip out and re-stitch, looking for that perfect job!
That fabric is gorgeous up close! Lovely backdrop for your outfit too! You look so comfortable and chic!
