corset | Tanit-Isis Sews

September 19, 2015 · 8:43 pm. This weekend is the local comics convention. Joker, Elf, half-ass-Ninja-Turtle, and Wendy Marvell. Tyo went as a generic elf (it was that or wear the Batgirl costume I made her last Hallowe’en), in a couple of my costume/dance pieces that she tried on in a fit of playing dress-up one night, and totally rocked. Moms out there, you know: that moment when your daughter steals your clothes and looks way better in them… yeah. I still love her. Mostly. Still life with rat. But a) ...

August 4, 2015 · 10:46 pm. Sense and Sensibility Patterns Regency chemise and short stays. It occurs to me that I’m establishing a bit of a pattern here. I’ve made another set of historical underclothing. Hmm. If you go back and include the fairly-mediaeval bliaut. Flat felling, be hand and machine. I made hand-worked eyelets for the neckline drawstring to pass through. However, not being overly bright, I worked them in the BACK of the neckline. Oops. I’m not really happy with the neckl...The short-stays...

Newer posts →. July 19, 2016 · 8:30 am. God this fabric is gorgeous. The composition tag says “linen and rayon”—I’m thinking it’s rayon embroidery on linen background. Sometimes a project is just fun to do. Not perfect, by any means, not at all flawless—but man it felt great. I found the finished sizing measurements a bit confusing. The size 10 was listed as having a 36″ bust and 23″ waist. Does this include lacing gap? How much of one? By some miracle the size of underwire I prefer also fitted the cups ...

Knitting Therapy: February 2011

http://liesl-knittingtherapy.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

It surely is a great calamity for a human being to have no obsessions.". Saturday, February 19, 2011. A confluence of three events this past week led me to try something new: darning. First, I received my Spring 2011 issue of Interweave Knits. I was very interested to read a column by Sigrid Arnott all about how her father had taught her to darn socks when she was growing up in Montana. (See her blog at www.analogme.typepad.com. It was actually kind of fun! Who would have thunk it? The second attempt (on...

Why not try and make a plan and then stick to it? The making of a plan. Fabric with a plan. Three pieces of stash fabric every month. Considering my personal sewing record (I think it was 80 items during 2011), I am not overly concerned about not being able to sew all of this in six months, but I do wary the need for eighteen new garments in my wardrobe. Some things, like for instance a couple of new special occasion dresses, are clearly gone missing. Sewing with a plan. The need for a garment like that.

Lapped zipper tutorial

Scruffy Badger's Scruffy Badger Time Blog: Sewing, Knitting, Running and Silliness. SB’s handmade wardrobe. Lapped Zipper Tutorial: like my Mamma taught me. Howdy doody. As mentioned in my Simplicity 2154. Post I wondered whether I should share the way that I was taught to sew in a zip. Apparently it is a lapped zipper and for some it is a sewing milestone, perhaps due to it being more of a vintage method? No prizes for spotting the special guest appearance by world class sewing machine fluff). Now, head...

Kestrel Makes: Finished: Jubilee Blouse

http://www.kestrelmakes.com/2012/06/finished-jubilee-blouse.html

Fabric and Yarn Shopping in Glasgow. Friday, 8 June 2012. This is a top I sewed up over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend. I used McCalls 9458, which I used for my Claire blouse. And an off cut of cotton shirting from a shirt dress. I made last year. I only had 60cm of the fabric but as it was extra wide, I was able to fit the pieces on horizontally and have a horizontally striped top. I made bias tape for the neckline and armholes, and really like the contrast of the stripe directions. I think I do.
