Meet new sewing pattern <Komugi> Over shirt

A new item is just published from Waffle Patterns. Meet Over shirt <Komugi> sewing pattern, a work wear style over shirt with many functional pockets. Depending on your fabric and design choice, it will be a work shirt, uniform-like service shirt or outdoor style shirt jacket. You can make just a simple shirt as well.

<design options>

View A features a hidden button stand front opening + patch side pockets + an inside pocket. The patch side pockets are 2 types ; side opening or layered type. The cuff is no-opening design.

View B has a normal button stand + seam pocket + back bent and cuff opening.

The chest pocket design has 2 options, layer type or zipper pocket.

View A is intended as non-scratch design suitable for a work shirt especially if you are working on fragile things. View B can be made as a more outdoor-like shirt jacket with details like cuff openings or a vent. But of course you can choose and mix the options as you like!

The khaki sample in the photos features viewA, and the red plaid one is view B. The caramel brown one has mixed features.

My favourite feature is the sleeve patches. Adding compliment textures/colours is really fun! But you can sew without them, too.

Please make your creative style by mixing your favourite details.

<fabric recommendation>

The pattern is drafted for woven fabrics. Light-medium weight durable shirt fabrics are recommended. like corduroy, duck, twill, denim, linen, flannel, light wool or canvas etc.

It is not impossible to use very light drapery fabric, but those are not suitable for some details like patch pockets or vent.

Also, some very thick/stiff fabrics might not work well for details like pockets with facing. In that case, please consider using other lighter fabrics partly like the inside yoke, facing, or pocket parts.

Please choose a suitable one for your design intension.

For the caramel brown sample in the photos, I used cotton canvas. Suitable for work shirts and very easy to handle. The contrast fabric used for the sleeve patch and pocket layer is faux suede.

If you want very durable patches, leather or rubber-mixed fabrics are used for professional work apparel. But for general daily usage, like mine, design oriented choice like nice compliment colours or textures will be enough. Using leftover or old clothes is a fun choice, too.

The khaki sample is cotton ripstop. This one is also very suitable for work wear. The patch part is mixed twill.

The red plaid one is light wool backed fleece. I backed all the pieces with fleece except the folded parts like pocket openings or hem.

I bought all those fabrics from my local fabric market, but most of them are from years ago. I wanted to share where I bought them, but I actually forgot all.

I think light water repellent or windproof fabrics are nice functional options, too.

<Size>

The shirt is drafted regular fit.

I made on size bigger the red plaid sample because I wanted to wear this as a jacket. Also because the fabric gets thicker with fleece backing.

The caramel brown and khaki samples were made with just fit size.

<Other material>

If you attach the hidden button stand design, it is better to use flat and thin buttons for clean look opening.

Okay, I read what WA said and remembered when the Dutch Royal Family released pics that looked like promo shots for the reboot of Dynasty. Look at this, isn't that photoshopped?

This feels like 10 years ago.

Thank you for all the magic, for these 14 unforgettable years and for giving us the most beautiful love story.  ❤️

Daniela expressing the true impact of the show for her made me so happy about them epxeriencing this kind of friendship in real life and on the show.

-

"So Eric improvises the line, 'This feels like 10 years ago,' and they left it in the cut because it worked really well but what they didn't leave was my actual breaking down into tears when he said those words that I didn't know he was going to say.

"It was the weight of the history of our friendship, the history of our partnership, the history of having met my husband and having my children on the show. Eric and those words brought all of those feelings of nostalgia to a tipping point for me at that moment."

A Heavenly Escape in Karnataka Coorg, or Kodagu, is a small district in Karnataka, often called a “piece of heaven.” Located midway between Mysore and Mangalore, it is a land of rolling hills, dense rainforests, coffee plantations, and spices. Its beauty and charm make it a captivating destination, offering an escape into nature. The Proud Kodavus: A Unique Culture The region is home to fiercely independent people who take pride in their unique culture and traditions. The Kodavus, the people of Coorg, are thought to be of either Greek or Arabic origin. One theory links them to Alexander the Great's soldiers who stayed back, while another is based on their traditional attire, the kuppia, which resembles the kuffia worn by Arabs and Kurds. Kodavus are known for their bravery and hospitality. The Coorg Regiment of the Indian Army is highly respected, and Coorgis are the only Indians allowed to carry firearms without a licence. Nature’s Paradise: Rainforests and Coffee Coorg’s natural beauty is unmatched, with its evergreen rainforests covering about 30% of the district. The monsoons bring heavy rains, but the best time to visit is between September and March when the weather is pleasant. The air smells of coffee, and colonial bungalows add to its charm. The Lifeline of Coorg: Kaveri River The Kaveri River originates here, surrounded by forests and hills. The river is home to mahaseer fish, while kingfishers, squirrels, and langurs play near its waters. Elephants can be seen enjoying baths under the care of their mahouts. For adventure seekers, Coorg offers activities like trekking, river rafting, rock climbing, and mountain biking. Breathtaking Views and Cultural Gems A trek to the Brahmagiri hills gives visitors panoramic views of the misty landscape. Nearby, Nisargadhama Island, connected by a rope bridge, is another attraction. Visitors can also encounter Buddhist monks at Bylakuppe, the largest Tibetan settlement in India, adding a cultural surprise to the visit. Coorg: The Soul of India Coorg, with its breathtaking scenery, rich history, and vibrant culture, offers a glimpse into the heart of India, making it a destination like no other.
