Hi there!
I got the itch to make something to wear. Choosing the Tova shirt from Wiksten,
I set out with some prized, silky voile.
And voila!
I didn’t make any changes to this first Tova. I did use french seams, which was an added challenge.
But it made for a nice finish inside.
I thought the voile would be perfect in this warm and sticky climate.
And it would be, but right as I finished it up, we got a chilly snap.
So I hurried off to a fabric chain store and bought some cozy purple flannel.
And voila!
This purple shirt is more like a blanket shirt and I love it! It was more challenging to work with as it was thick. I cut the placket on the bias. (I love plaid on bias!) And I customized the length of the sleeves so that they make me look slothly fit comfortably.
I found Kerry’s Tova Sew-a-long very helpful. I already have the itch to make more!
I hope you are having a good week.
🙂
Lovley results and great choices, I wear my voile Tova a lot but I could do with a flannel weight one right now in the chilly weather!
love them, Becca!!!! I'm definitely going to have to get me one of these patterns for sure!
You're amazing, Becca! I've not been brave enough to try making clothes yet — that's my sister's department… 🙂
Both are super cute & I'm sure you look super cute in them! Even Busy Moms need to make something for themselves from time to time. 🙂
This is just absolutely gorgeous and look so comfortable! Your first one will be nice in hot Houston weather and the second looks cozy:)
these are gorgeous! i also love plaid on the bias. i never thought of making one with flannel! brilliant idea.
