MeMade Clothing: Dani Short in Brown & Ogden Cami in Navy Floral

Sunday, October 15, 2023

Diving deeper into the sewing apparel world! Indie pattern designers have really made it quite fun to hack patterns!

This True Bias Ogden Cami is a size 12, but with an added an inch or so to the lining, because otherwise it just landed in a really awkward spot. Did a smaller seam allowance on the straps (to better hide bra straps), and afterward I realized that needs to be accompanied by an enlargement of the strap connection points. Next time!

I used the belt loops hack on the True Bias Dani Short and made a matching belt (1.5" X ~70"). I only added an inch in length, but skipped the cuff, to keep that fingertip length. These are pretty much a size 12, with a full seat adjustment, I should probably just go up a size. Material is Sandwashed Cotton from BlackbirdFabrics in Deep Mauve. Although, it really reads more as a pleasant chocolate brown. Pocket linings are scraps leftover from the ogden cami I'm wearing.
