It's the first week of our Literary Sewing Circle featuring Banyan Moon by Thao Thai. Have you found a copy yet? Have you started reading? If so, how are you finding the opening chapters?
Today's inspiration is going to look at some of the characters in this story; we'll find ideas based on their names and personalities. Here are a few suggestions of projects you could make based on these elements.
Ann is the main character, the one we meet as the book begins, and the one whose story is told in the first person. If you wanted to make something inspired by her there are many options!
You could try the Ann Boxy Top by EF Patterns on Etsy; it's a simple silhouette that's really popular.
Or you could make a simple tee, the Ann tee from StyleArc
Ann is also called Annie by one childhood friend, so maybe you'll go with that and make the Annie Dress by Tessuti Fabrics. Nice and light for a Florida summer.
While I couldn't really find any good men's patterns inspired by Ann's partner Noah, she might dress on theme herself in this Noah mini skirt by PatternCos
And you could add on this Noah Blouse by Make My Lemonade for a full Noah outfit!
And maybe pair it with the Crystal Cove Cami by Itch to Stitch
And then throw on the Crystal Overshirt by StyleArc as a topper!
Ann also re-encounters her old high school flame Wesley. It was hard to find a pattern for him, but maybe his son Elijah could wear the Wesley Shirt by the Dutch Pattern Farm.
Or you could just go with this free Banyan Pet Bandanna by Samantha Marie Design!
