I had the
privilege to test another pattern, the Madelaine Shirt by the designer Parnuuna
of BeMyGoth.com sewing patterns. You may remember the bright pink Lucinda skirt
that I tested earlier this year. (View here: Pink Happy Thoughts Lucinda Skirt)
The new design is the Madelaine raglan sleeve shirt with
beautiful lace on the lower sleeves that is extra long so it can be scrunched
around the wrist. The shirt features a tantalizing applique of your choice of
Ravens (I reduced my Raven by 25%) and body and upper sleeves of the shirt is made from jersey or knit
fabric. (Pattern link at bottom)
Fabrics used :
*Black knit jersey from ChezAmi.com
*Black knit lace from fabric.com
*Stripe knit jersey for raven from Spoonflower.com
Sizes:
*I used the size 40
for my model.
*Available in a large range of Sizes: 34 – 50 (European sizes)

description
The Madelaine t-shirt design is
appealing by 16-year-olds in vintage high-tops, to the 20somethings or even the
more mature group who wish to look fashion forward. If you're looking for a T-shirt
alternative, this knits-only pattern is a fantastic option. It comes in a large
range of sizes (34 –
50 European sizes) to
suit many figure types. It can be worn with jeans or the complimentary
Madelaine skirt, also available at bemygoth.com for free. (pattern link at
bottom)
This pattern
features many options such as having two different Raven applique’s to choose
from or no applique at all. The separate sleeve pieces could be pieced together
to make the sleeve in one fabric instead of the lace and fabric combination.
The pointed hem can be changed to a round or straight hemline based on your
preference.
The
instructions are very detailed with photos for every step. Trust me there is no
guess work with these instructions! Any beginner that is comfortable sewing
with knits would be at ease on this pattern. It's easy, fast and you get such a
fabulous and professional looking result.
The big pattern companies could take some tips from
BeMyGoth designer!

Never heard about these patterns! Bird applique is such a great idea! I love your version with smaller raven. Great job!
It has been such a pleasure to sew with these patterns. Parnuuna, I am always available to sew your patterns!
Foamofdays, I would suggest giving these patterns a try. She has a couple of free ones that you can try before purchasing one. Thank you for the kind words!
