OWOP week – Sept 6 to Sept 12

By Linda of Lányos Handmade / Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!! on 13 September 2014

It’s OWOP week (One Week, One Pattern – organized this year by Handmade Jane).  This is the week to wear the same pattern every day for seven days.

Butterick B5988 is my go-to tee pattern.  If you have read my blog before, you might recognize these.  I really, really wanted to get another one made, but fate wasn’t with me.  I bought this Butterick pattern especially for this white woven fabric with a green lace for the overlay.  What do you think, should I save these fabrics still and make this top yet again?

Now for my OWOP… let’s start with last Saturday and Sunday, casual days around the house and shopping, T shirt and jeans day.  This is the one I wore on the weekend…

Monday, back to work.  The weather was beautiful this week, even though some parts of Canada have already had a dump of snow.  I still needed a light sweater for the air conditioned office.  I took this photo AFTER work, I look kind of frazzled, don’t I?

Thursday after work ….. My hubby took Thursday’s photo.  He kept telling me that I was standing in the sun.  I don’t care.  It was so sunny!  Just beautiful!  Who can complain about that?

Sadly, I did not have another version of my Butterick pattern made up for Friday.   I look forward to having a few more of these made for next year’s OWOP challenge though!

Are you participating in OWOP?  What is your favourite go-to pattern?

Thank you to Handmade Jane for organizing OWOP 2014!

Happy Sewing!

      I like the blue too! Thanks for reading and commenting! It was fun to try to invent something new from the “same old pattern”!

    Well done for taking part. I wasn’t organised enough but hope it runs again next year. I didn’t think I had enough to wear but I’ve just made the 4 shirts out of the same pattern so I could have worn that – doh!
    All your tees look great.

      Thank you! I thought, of course afterwards, I could have done the same Tee with pants and then on another day with a skirt but then when I get ready for work I am not usually thinking much!
