I’ve admired everything Wiksten for so long and finally I ordered her two sewing patterns a couple months ago. So far, I’ve just made the tank top (twice!), but I’ll be making the Tova as soon as possible. I’ve had a crush on that shirt for ages.
The tank pattern is awesome. Jenny’s patterns are hand drawn and incredibly well designed. You don’t even need a serger for this project, since it is sewn with french seams and bias finished hems. Genius.
I am MOST proud of the pocket on the tank. I PERFECTLY matched the pattern on the fabric so that you can barely even see that the pocket is there. Small details like that make me so happy.
With winter approaching, I’ll be wearing it layered with cozy cardigans.
It doesn’t at all seem unreasonable to me that I might need a rainbow of colours in this tank. It’s clearly a wardrobe essential.
You can order Jenny’s Wiksten sewing patterns from the workroom’s online shop!
Wow! I adore this fabric and regret I never purchased it : ( i love this pattern with this fabric! It fits perfectly! Great job!

Beautiful, I love the fabric and of course your pocket placement, which is perfect!
I bought the Tova pattern recently and am all set to do that one next .. just trying to find the time, which is tricky right now.
