For the sewalong version, I made view A, and added 2” in length to make them the ideal length for my height (5’9.5”). I used a slubby tencel denim from Blackbird fabrics (now back in stock!), which has the perfect drape for this pattern. I love this blue denim colour too, it is so easy to style!
Because I was shooting pictures of every step during the sewalong, I was really forced to slow down and take my time with this project. I wanted everything to look perfect because I’d be embarrassed to show off wobbly topstitching or imperfect seams in my sewalong, even though I often let these things go when I’m sewing for pleasure. As Heather Lou said the other day, “put down the seam ripper”, and I am in agreement with this mantra. That said, being forced to slow down and really focus on each step made for a very well sewn garment!
I love they way this tencel denim drapes and also holds it’s shape. I made an Archer Shirt using the light blue colour-way and it holds its shape nicely, too. I still have so much of this tencel in my stash, and I am hoarding it for special projects like this :)
Thanks again for following along with the Winslow Culottes Sewalong! If you didn't get a chance to sew with me, that’s OK! You can still refer back to the sewalong posts and make the perfect culottes for summer.
