Hems for Unlined Tabula Rasa Jackets

The seasons are changing, so all of a sudden my unlined summer Tabula Rasa Jackets (TRJ) are coming out of the closet. Just like summer pants fabrics, the fabrics I choose to sew for summer tops are light weight and washable. So, their engineering needs to be washing machine safe too. Today…

TR Camp Shirts for Summer

Carrie in Camp Shirt

Stitch and Flip Jacket Engineering

Every time I approach a group of fabrics destined to be a Tabula Rasa Jacket (TRJ), I consider both the design and the engineering.  It is easy to dream up a pieced front and back for a jacket, but it is quite another thing to stitch it together into a…

Inspired by Ruth’s Jacket

Last year at The American Sewing Expo (ASE) my friend Ruth “C” stopped by our booth to show us her first Tabula Rasa Jacket (TRJ).  She had used a large print Japanese cotton in classic indigo with selected red accents and an unusual tie closure.  Carrie immediately started taking photos…
