Geometric Burn-Out Scout Tee

One of my favourite parts about sewing my own clothing is when you have an idea for a garment, and it turns out exactly how you pictured it.  I bought this fabric nearly a year ago, and just last month got around to sewing the shirt I had pictured.  

Like, this is literally exactly what I had in mind.  Ahh!  So pleased!  As you probably could have guessed, it's the Grainline Scout Tee pattern!  This pattern is so darn versatile, and it is simple enough that it lets the beautiful fabric stand out on it's own.

Wax Print Scout Tee, and Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation

Another Scout Tee!!  Can you tell that I love this pattern?!  It makes the perfect light, airy, but still structured shirt - and it goes with almost anything, especially jeans.  It's a perfect casual Fridays staple.  

Matt and I have some friends who lived in both Senegal and Tanzania for a while, and when we got married (nearly 2 years ago now!) they gifted us (me) with some gorgeous wax-print fabric (also known as Ankara fabrics).  I have been hoarding it since then, not sure what to do with it yet.  Enter, the Scout Tee!

Stripey Linen Scout Tee

See!  I'm still alive!  My sew-jo (and blog-jo... is that a thing?) has been severely lacking as of late, and I've been busy busy with summery things!  Apologies for the lack of posts.  I swear I'm still going with this project - with minimal cheats (I bought another 2 roller-derby tops... whoops!).

For those of you who followed my Me-Made-May 2016 adventure, you would have seen this tee at the end of the month when it started getting stinkin' hot here in Ottawa.

Fishy Scout Tee

Here it is!  The ever-popular during MMMay16 fishy Scout Tee!  I wore this shirt at least five times over the course of MMMay since it paired so so well with a pair of jeans!  I actually received this fabric by mistake (I ordered a polka-dotted double gauze) but it was a happy accident!  The fish print is just so fun, the double gauze has the right balance of flow & structure, so it made for a great top.
