A sun layer in the making

The sun layer.
A design in progress.

I’m Christina, and I’m working on a sun wrap for my walks and travels. This is where I share the sewing, small experiments, and changes along the way.

A personal design project, still taking shape.

A note from Christina

It started
with a walk.

I wanted something easy to wear over my everyday clothes when I went walking. The options I tried felt too warm or weren’t quite what I wanted to wear. So I began sewing a layer of my own. Roaming Postcodes is my place to document the process: what I try, what I change, and what I learn.

The idea behind the wrap

A little more
coverage.

Ordinary tops often leave the neckline, chest, and shoulders exposed. I’m developing a wrap designed to add coverage over the clothes you already enjoy wearing.

I’m working through the shape, fit, and finishing details, one version at a time.

From the sewing table

Small studies.
Thoughtful changes.

These miniature mockups are a way to explore the neckline, construction, and drape before working at full size. I’m documenting what changes and what I learn.
