RUMS 12/14 Monday Basic again

I got some great knits for shirts for myself. One of the more daring knits I used for this Monday Basic. Combined with a uni knit I quite like it.

Pattern is Monday Basic from Ottobre 5/2013. I still used size 46 but made it a bit tighter and I rounded the seamline a bit. I guess the next one I will keep a bit longer, what do you think?

And now I'll check for the early birdies on RUMS

RUMS #43 - or Monday Basic meets Martha

Since I found this pattern for a basic raglan shirt that fits me in the current Ottobre, I want to use and vary it a bit more.

This time I wanted to make my own version of the Martha pattern (by milchmonster) that I have seen so often in blogs or forums. I cut the original pattern in a wavy line under my breast and added a part for the pockets. I also wanted to give it a try with those lovely maxi collars, but the pieces that I had cut for it were way too short, so I only got a small collar. I wasn't so sure how to attach it either, so my solution is not really very professional. To make the neckline a bit more sophisticated I made a short verticular cut in the middle and only folded and topstitched the seam, adding a loop in the middle. Could be preciser and straighter, but hey, for myself I'm never so critical...

So off we go to RUMS!

My first RUMS

The German sewing bloggers have their own version of the MeMadeMonday - takes place on Thursdays and it's called RUMS.

Today, for the first time, I managed to take part:
