    @The_McJones As a moustache aficionado, this is basically my porn.

    I may have jumped the gun. We play actual discs so rarely, we didnā€™t realise we had a damn region mismatch. VLC hopefully to the rescue?

    Shhhh. I took advantage of the Snookā€™s bathroom break to google how old Sam Elliott is and whether heā€™s happily married. šŸ˜‰

  • Montrose Top

    I think this is my fastest sewing project yet! This is the Montrose Top from Cashmerette, and I whipped this up in about 4 hours today.

    The fabric is Liberty Saville Poplin in a lavender print that I bought at The Fabric StoreĀ during their last sale. (Savvy blog readers will notice that I used it for the Snook’s most recent Simon Shirt. I deliberately bought enough so I’d be able to make something simple for myself too!) The only real design feature on the garment is a curved and gathered back yoke, which was pretty simple to do.

    In terms of sizing, the pattern offers 9 different sizes, 3 different cups, and 2 different sleeves, so it’s suitable for pretty much everybody! I cut a straight 20 C/D, and it’s comfortably roomy. (I might go down to an 18 next time.) This is definitely the best sleeve fit I’ve ever had on a garment I’ve made for me. I made one alteration to lengthen the front and back, just based on the fact that the pattern was written for someone who’s 5’6″. I’m closer to 5’10” but I’m also short-waisted, so I decided to add in 2″. However, when I tried it on it was still too long, so I ended up chopping that length off and rehemming. Next time I’ll go back to the original length.

    I can see myself making these in lots of different colours. Just a great little wardrobe staple! I reckon I like it even better than the Colette Sorbetto…

    @johnallsopp I saw a really good talk at MeasureCamp Melbourne a few months back by Mike Robins, founder of @snowflake_data! Would recommend.
