๐งต๐ Sewing Tips โ๐ Sewing a muslin/toile first is always recommended since it allows you to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments first. When choosing your size, I recommend going after your upper bust measurement and performing a full bust adjustment (FBA) if necessary. When sewing the buttoned cuff, the cuff size chould be chosen according to personal preference of tightness and ease.
๐The Story Behind The Name: 'Yoalli' (pronounciation [yowali]) is derived from classical Nahuatl 'Yohualli' and translates to 'night' ๐. It is also a first name chosen for both men and women. Yohualli-Ehecatl (night wind) is a deity belonging to the Ometeotl Complex. Ometeotl is a name used to refer to the pair of Aztec deities that, in Aztec belief, are the primordial parents of deities, humans and creation itself. Yohualli-Ehecatl represents the mystery of the night and is also connected indirectly to death, taking careless wanderers at night with him. Occasionally, some would return and be gifted with a long and healthy life. According to a book I read once, people even built benches for Yohualli-Ehecatl to rest upon to calm his stormy character and increase the chances of getting his favour ๐
