Sewing Papercut Patterns: Ensis Tee

07/07/2015

I have had Papercut Patterns on my ‘must sew’ list since forever. Therefore having more time recently to browse and shop online, I purchased two patterns from Backstitch both from Papercut patterns.

The first one I chose to make was the Ensis Tee from paper cut patterns. I wanted to use my gorgeous organic jersey that Lillestoff had recently sent me.
I had so many ideas brewing. I drew some sketches, matched up some contrasting fabric and switched on the overlocker. a quick sharpen of my scissors and I was off….

Ensis Tee number one:

I used lillestoff climbing flowers in olive and teamed it with mint plain sweatshirt fabric, also from Lillestoff.

The pattern fit was perfect, a superb easy sew, with excellent instructions. I left off the band at the hem and kept the edge curved. I also shortened the sleeves to 3/4 bracelet length.

Actually, they are so quick to sew, I made two, more on that one later…

Have you ever sewn a papercut pattern, if so which one?

You can even hang up the packet, make a little book from the instructions and you get a post card instead of a picture on the front of the envelope, I love postcards!! Always the little things that make me happy…
