Front-Opening Men’s Tee Jalie 2918

A Front-Opening Men’s Tee and how it Came About Jalie’s Mens Tee 2918 is a “basic” in my world. I’ve made a number of them, both as teaching samples and ones to wear.

If you sew for men, this pattern is a real winner. It’s a classic, designed for children and women, but I used it to make a robe for hubby; Jalie 2567.

How I Drafted my Functional Front Pockets for Jalie’s Eleonore Pull-on Jeans Pattern

Functional Front Pockets Wow, that’s the longest title I’ve written, then shortened it to functional front pockets. (Sew far) When Jalie’s Eleonore Pull-on Jean pattern was first released the front pockets were “faux”. Non-functional.

Scrap Happy Toiletry Bag for Dad

Or not at all, but why not? I’m including a GREAT font that I found that’s perfect for the machine applique. It’s 2...
