Scout - dress version. I squeezed this out of 2m of this poplin. I didn't have enough for pockets or collar stand so they went green, which I like even more.

Hey #sewsky ! Thank you for the community building, @courtniewolfgang.bsky.social ! I'm Erica, a social and cultural historian of empire. I'm based between Amsterdam and London. I mostly sew garments and have been more interested in the projects that will force me to slow down and figure them out.

Super easy! There are clear notches that line up all the columns and rows

It's all actually cotton- but closer to a cotton sateen than anything. But it is a perfect pattern for a stiffer silk, I think.

It's from HP Singh in Delhi- one of my favourite stores ever.

The dress is also in my queue- but it is a big cutting out commitment! Looking forward to seeing yours!
