Sewing Basics for Every Body Book Tour – Day 1 The Felix Project

Every day in the run up to publication day for Sewing Basics for Every Body on the 14th I’m going to introduce you to one of the projects in the book and show you the various ways you can make it and wear it!

As you already know by now, this is a book of unisex sewing patterns to make great quality everyday wardrobe basics.

So, what could be more of a wardrobe staple than a humble t-shirt?!

The Felix project isn’t just a t-shirt though……sure, you can make a plain single jersey short sleeved t-shirt or add a cool stencil print to it (instructions and template for adding your own scissor print are also included in the book), but you can also make Felix as…….

A SWEATSHIRT

A HOODIE

A SWEATER DRESS / TUNIC

This version has a deceptively simple pocket detail – perfect for colour blocking and using up odd sized leftover fabrics.

A ZIP-THROUGH JACKET

And even a woven t-shirt:

I’ll share the next garment in the book with you tomorrow!!
