This is the first of my collection, I got this fabric as a pregnancy gift from The Fabric Godmother, what a gem! I loved this fabric too, the animals! I just love the birds. There is also this and this in the bird theme on the website at the moment.
Actually, all the fabrics I have used for these Wiksten's are from The FabricGodmother... Because I just love what they stock! Have a look at the cotton ranges, pure class!
Anyways, I was very grateful of this gift but in my current 'state', I'm all about maternity clothes at the moment and slightly in love with my pattern that I made with the Wiksten Tank. FG was kind enough to give a metre of this lovely fabric, however I needed just over a metre to make a Tank.
Using the selvege as a guide I used the colour indicators to know that there was black in there. So I made the front as usual with the 10 cm increase in length and 4 cm girth increase.
Then, I added a black band to the back to make a 1m x 1m piece of fabric go into my desired form of a Wiksten Tank.
I am overjoyed with the result, it's exactly what I need for my purpose. I wear to work...
Jeggings
Ugg Boots
Long Cardigan...
... Long Top.
I'm a nurse, so I spend my working day in uniform. I'm pregnant, so I need to comfort and utility. I'm vain, so I want my clothes to look nice, unique and 'Bundana'. These wants lead me to one conclusion... Wikstens are exactly what I need!
Over this week I will be putting on the three Wikstens that I've made, I love the versatility of it!
