Indie Design in the Dog House
Designers, here’s your chance to take the high road. Do something meaningful with your freebies. Sending them to a blogger who wouldn’t give you the time of day otherwise is bad business. Association with a good charity with a good cause will go a lot further.
A little Whimsy
Submitted by Off the Cuff Style
Well….because of a number of things, I just wasn’t feelin’ the “shirt love” yesterday. So to brighten my mood and get my shirt-making mojo back, I took a break and made this whimsical little hoodie for my 8-yr old niece, Bella. It started with a basic Ottobre Design T-shirt pattern [...]
Slow Going…
Submitted by Off the Cuff Style
Here is the shirt back, right off the bed of the machine and hastily pinned to my photo-wall. It features an inverted top-stitched box pleat. The pleat is open for only about 14 inches. This will allow the shirt to be worn “out”, but it will also look neat (and [...]

Almost a Denim Shirt
Submitted by Off the Cuff Style
Hastily pinned to the form, and still “Under Construction”….but so far I’m satisfied with how this denim shirt is turning out.
It is being made for a favorite client of mine from a fine cotton denim fabric that has a remarkably smooth reverse side. The reverse side of the fabric is [...]
The Waterfall Cowl Revisited…Changing the Pleat Position.
Submitted by Off the Cuff Style
Here is another interpretation of Ottobre Woman Issue 2/2009, #5 …the “Waterfall Blouse”
I always change the front shoulder gathers into a pleat when I make this style. On this newest top, I positioned the pleat near the shoulder point with the fold toward the shoulder seam. Orienting the pleat in [...]

Wear it or Wad it ?
Submitted by Off the Cuff Style
Before I go any further, I need to tell you that the neckline pleats are the same depth, this photo was taken at a slight angle.
That said, I cannot decide if I like this top, or if it’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen ! Made with an Ottobre Design [...]
