Selfish Sewing Week: Corporate/Office Wear Round-Up!

Whoop whoop, it's Selfish Sewing Week! Time to sew something for yourself!

Fishy Butterick 5019

Earlier this summer I made this cute Butterick 5019 dress for my niece's birthday:

Seamwork Mojave in Gauze

The Seamwork Mojave dress/beach cover-up/kaftan/tunic thing caught my eye right away when it came out, but I only just got around to sewing it while on my recent Labor Day Seamwork bender (see also: Seamwork Akita, Seamwork Mesa). I love the neckline and the little gathers below the bust...

Seamwork Mesa T-shirt

I've been in need of a simple black t-shirt to wear with some of my louder me-made skirts (for example: my yellow Veronika). A black t-shirt that is a bit dressier, though than some of the other, slouchier t-shirts I've been making of late. I wanted it to be appropriate for wearing to work and/or out and slim enough to be tucked in without too much bulk. 

Batik Seamwork Akita Blouse

When the latest Seamwork Magazine patterns came out, I was intrigued by the Akita blouse... one pattern piece? Could it work?

 

Lemon Squeeze Cardigan

This is the Lemon Squeeze Cardigan from Snapdragon Studios, a lovely and versatile cardigan pattern.

Dude Sewing: Jersey Juba Shorts

Tim requested some "sleeping shorts" made from "t-shirt material." I translated this to mean simple, comfy, elastic waist shorts in jersey knit.
