Sewing operates at a faster timescale for me, so I decided to throw a bunch of things in one post. I’ve become enchanted with the Inari Tee and dress lately. I like the little details and since I’ve been mostly living in a few variations of high-waisted Arthur pants (also shown in this post) some cropped tees fit the bill.

This was my first Inari. The fabric is some knit tee fabric I got from Fancy Tiger Crafts awhile back. I messed up in the cutting and had to put a seam down the back to make it work, but in the end I’m pretty pleased with this one. I added a little length to the body, but not much.

This Inari is made with some Cloud 9 knit interlock fabric I got from Fabric.com. It’s really soft inside and is a bit heavier, like a sweatshirt fabric. I thought it might be a nice transition piece for slightly cooler days. I added 2cm more length than in the previous version, and I think I could have added a bit more. This fabric doesn’t have much drape since it’s thicker, so I think that makes quite a bit more difference in the way the length feels while worn compared to the first tee.

Here is an Inari dress, made with some fabric found in the juvenile knit section on Joann’s. It was a complete impulse buy. I like it somewhat, but this fabric feels thin, cheap, and not nearly as soft as the others. It’s a good casual dress though.

I also whipped up a Linden sweatshirt. I had this cut out for a couple of weeks before sewing it. Then it got rainy and cooler out and I wanted something snuggly. This was also an impulse buy from Joanns in the juvenile knits section and this one I LOVE. It’s got the smooth knit side for both sides of the fabric and it’s stretchy and comfy as hell. I think I will live in this around the house when it gets cooler. I forsee making many more Lindens as time goes on.
