Paying Homage to Black Pattern Designers...

...for years February has been set aside as a special time to learn about and recognize accomplishments of African Americans and other people of color.  This year in celebration I jumped on the #bhmpatterndesigners Instagram challenge.  This challenge, sponsored by Myra @onesewsweet, and Nateda @naturaldane and is open to all genders and races internationally with a great bounty of prizes associated with it.  Joining this challenge has been a great way to learn more about familiar Black Pattern Designers as well as those I've never even heard about.

I soooooo wanted to make up a vintage pattern, like one by Willi Smith or Willi Wear that I've loved for years, but of course didn't have one in my stash.  I just didn't have time to search and source one out.  So I've decided to go with something more readily available.  I chose Vogue 1596 by Tracy Reese.  I must admit that although I have several of Reese' patterns, I've actually never made one.


 Choosing this pattern allowed me to practice a split collard neckband which has never been my strong suit.  I was willing and determined, and the neckband was applied in one sweep I'm very happy to say.


No one told me that this tunic is almost dress length.  I did hack Tracy's pattern by omitting the front pockets, and creating my own balloon sleeve and a regular cuff (I don't think Tracy would mind that at all).  For more information on the challenge just click on the sponso'rs IG links above.  I'm so glad I had a chance to participate, and there's still time if you would too.  Now on to the planning stages of my next project...

  2. This is so your style Faye! I love the little chain and the tucks--they're both such nice additions, and I think hardware especially always ups the quality of a garment!

    1. Thank you Elizabeth. I took a chance using a print and the tucks are only visible on one side of the front but I loved the fabric so I just went with it. I love it!
