I've been hesitant for awhile to join the masses in making a pair of Persephones, mostly because I have enough other pants patterns, this seemed repetitive. After hearing from a lot of folks though, I realized this pattern is unique enough to merit making, and I'm so glad I did!

Easily the most versatile and customizable pattern I've made, plus even Kevin can knock one out in a few hours without much help! I've made two for myself (involving a HUGE size scale-down), and five for Kevin. In the construction section I talk about all the mods I've made to this pattern.
Y'all I made my first pair of jeans and I am SMITTEN! They turned out perfectly and I couldn't be more proud :)
I've made two toaster sweater's now, I love both dearly, but I have a strong bias towards the one I made WITH POCKETS! I've included instructions on how to add pockets to the Toaster Sweater in the sections below!
I'll be honest, this is mostly a toiles and tribulations post about my first attempt at the Jenny Trousers (Jenny Overalls) by Closet Core Patterns.
I've made three pairs of Free Range Slacks now, and I love each pair dearly! It has taken awhile to nail down my preferred sizing and construction, although all three fit & get worn often!
I've now made three Gilbert's, two for myself and one for my mother-in-law!
Throughout this post I will refer to Version #1 as my first go, the red pictured above, and Version #2 is my second attempt, which included a small bust adjustment and is the fall pattern below. |
About FrancescaI got my first sewing machine middle school, circa 2005 (although I don't remember learning much in the way of sewing). After a long hiatus, I was reunited with my machine in 2019. I re-entered the hobby through gear-making, and have been crafting a handmade wardrobe since late 2020. I have a real affinity for comfy clothes (secret pajamas) and all the colors! Archives
