Last year in April I ordered 4 m of cotton jersey in ecru (96% cotton, 4% elasthan) from pepelinchen intending to sew some basic T-shirts that I could wear in winter under blouses or my hand-knitted sweaters. 9 months later I finally sat down and took the time for this project. All in all, I […]

Finally completed: Burdastyle 1/2007 #109A
