It's Monday! I'm happy to share what I sewed last week 😊
Few years ago, I sewed a tank top using fabric I got from a sewing friend who lives in the same town. The fabric, which I believe is rayon, feels good on the skin, is lightweight, and dries quickly. Although the pattern was something I wouldn't normally choose, once I sewed it, I found it versatile for everyday wear, travel, and events, especially when paired with black skirts or pants. I really like it and wore it a lot this summer too.
Recently, my nomad spirit has been back, and I felt like having another travel-friendly outfit. I sewed a similar top.
It's quite a bold peacock pattern but I received good feedback from my friends and family so far. I already enjoy wearing it daily, at a market and going out in the night time 😊
When I think of what kind of features are needed for nomad clothing, considering that nomads ideally carry minimal luggage...
- Comfort
- Versatile for various situations (casual, travel, formal events, etc.)
- Easily hand-washable and quick-drying
- Lightweight and compact
- Resistant to wrinkles or wrinkles aren't much visible
Camping wears or outdoor wears are practical but it's not for attending parties. I want to explore something in the middle. Since it's getting fresher and already heading into fall in Germany, I will explore autumn and winter nomad clothing and I look forward it 😊
That's my needlework of the week. Have a nice Needlework Monday and great week!

数年前に同じ街に住む洋裁好きのお友達と生地の交換をしたときにもらった生地でタンクトップを一枚縫いました。レーヨンと思われる生地で、肌触りが良く、軽く、すぐ乾きます。普段自分では選ばない柄だったのですが、いざ縫ってみると、日常や旅、黒いスカートやパンツを合わせるとイベントやお出かけまでいろいろなシーンで着られてとても気に入っています。
最近ノマド魂が戻ってきて、なんとなく旅に便利な服をもう一つほしくなり、似たような感じの記事で一枚縫いました。
結構派手な感じのクジャク柄です。さっそくマーケットに夜遊びに来て歩いています 😊
ノマド服の条件を考えてみると、ノマドは極力荷物を持たないことを前提として・・・
- 着心地がいい
- いろいろなシーンで着られる（普段、移動、お呼ばれ、イベントなどなど）
- 手で簡単に洗えてすぐに乾く
- 軽くて小さく畳める
- しわになりにくい
キャンプやアウトドア向けの衣料品も便利なのですが、パーティー向け、毎日着られるかというと（ドイツでは着られますが）、ちょっと違って、便利と見た目の両方というか中間を追求したいです。
ドイツは秋に向かって気温が下がりつつあるので、秋冬は寒いシーズンのノマド服を追求していきたいです。
そんなこんなの今週の針仕事でした。それではよい一週間を！
