Aspiring Designer: Madeit
/
Hi my name is Anna
and I am the designer at Madeit
I am so excited to
be part of this challenge, I have had a love of making clothes from a very
young age watching my mum tracing out and making from her Burda pattern books
then I would mimic this and make clothes for my Cindy doll.
I gained a degree
in Fashion with Technology at Manchester
Metropolitan University
here in the UK
When I had my
little boy in 2011 it sparked a love of making children's clothes and Madeit
patterns was born in 2013.
Madeit are pleased
to announce that in September this year we will launch a Fall/Winter collection
along with a brand new website and blog.
Here is a taster
from the new range, The Ziggy is a oversize top which is great for both girls
and boys. This boxy shape is on trend for the coming season and can be made
from any sort of Jersey , sweatshirt, or true
knit fabric construction.
Get printing and appliqué to funk it up a bit! the tutorial includes
the instructions for simple printing techniques to achieve the looks in the
photos, or create your own designs. The top will also look great in a printed
jersey, maybe put on a contrast neck band, the variations are endless, get
creative!
Lauren wears a top made from cotton/elastase single jersey with
printed continuous chevron stripes going over the sleeves and body.
Cole wears a true knit with printed jersey appliqué stars and stripe
sleeve detail.
The pattern is to make sizes 2T to 10Y, the simple style means
its great for beginners and advanced sewers alike. The tutorial also includes 2
different neck finishing techniques and tells you when to use each one
depending on your fabric choice.
We are offering this pattern for £1.50 ($2.50) up
until midnight GMT on the 23rd August so hurry over to our Madeit Etsy shop to get
your copy.
