Wiksten Tova

Today's the day.
I'm jumping in.

I'm jumping in today!  #wikstentova wish me luck. #sewingclothingscaresme 
Cutting out the pattern right now.
I'm going to use some cheap muslin first before I cut up the good stuff. 
Wish me luck!

xo,
Jennifer

Am I the first comment? Good luck! I'm starting my first garment this week too. Not the Wiksten but a supposedly easyish pattern nonetheless!

Kristan said...

Yay, good luck! I can't wait to see yours! I'm starting with a Colette Sorbetto. I'm almost done with the muslin version, and glad I made one!

You're a talented lady, I'm sure it will turn out just fine. On the other hand, if it doesn't go as well as you'd like, you can cut it up into scraps for quilts! It's a win-win scenario, really. ;-)

Cassie said...

Good luck! I've made 3 so far and am actually wearing one of them right now :) I'm sure you will love it!

Jennifer Marie said...

ohhhh! let me know! I bought this the other day and i'm dying to try it!

Rachel said...

You can do it! It will be great!

I checked out this pattern online and, guess what? It's sold out! Must be very popular.

♥Duff said...

Yes, best wishes for a perfect top! I bet it will be fabulous :O)

Oh brilliant can't wait to hear how you get on. I've had muslin pieces cut for a tova for months now but so far have managed to avoid going any further for fear of mucking it up.

Karen said...

Oh can't wait for your review!

Heather said...

I got mine all taped together the other night! Hopefully tonight after the kids and dogs have gone to bed I'll be able to spread it out and get it cut.

Sarah said...

This one is on my list for this year too. Good luck, let us know how you get along

Elsa said...

How exciting to make your very first garment! I've been thinking of getting back to making clothes again, it's been a long time since I did. There's some fun patterns out now.
Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Lori said...

Good luck. You will be fine. If you can make the quilts and other stuff you do, you will do just fine.

Of the three apparel items I've sewn, two of them were Tovas! It's a good learning experience for sure.

Shayla Sharp said...

haha, I was just getting online to buy this pattern--maybe you should do a sew along to get us going for 2013 :)
