If Kirsi looks a bit familiar, it's not just deju vu! She made her debut in Tauko magazine in November. We're so excited to bring her home and introduce Kirsi as part of the Forget-me-not pattern collection. In addition to being available in our shop, Kirsi will come in our sizing (complete with full bust option!) and have projector files!
the back waist, creating a round collar and flared peplum.
The optional cross-front closure and waist tie make Kirsi a chic option for bundling up, or wear Kirsi open for a graceful and interesting silhouette. Kirsi comes in two lengths. The long version floats to mid-thigh, where the shorter peplum view comes to the top of the hip.
Kirsi was designed for mid-weight knits with at least 10% horizontal stretch. Fabrics like double knit/interlock knits, waffle knit, ponte, lightweight boiled wool are great options.
It's worth noting that the wrong side of the fabric will show unless you choose to line the flounce (there's full instructions for that!) so you'll want to choose a fabric that you like the look of both the right and wrong sides.
Kirsi is a fun and easy sew. The waterfall of curves may seem tricky, but it's deceptively simple. Our fully illustrated instructions will guide you through the whole sewing process. We've even included an extra appendix with lots of info on different hem finishes so you can choose the best finish for your Kirsi!
It's always such an honor seeing our patterns made up and out in the world. Here are a few of our favorite Kirsi's so far!
