V8888: The Charmeuse before the Storm « poppykettle

https://poppykettle.com/2014/05/17/v8888-the-charmeuse-before-the-storm

V8888: The Charmeuse before the Storm. Oh it feels so GOOD to be back! We’ve been back from honeymoon for a while now, and since then I’ve been doing a lot of nothing, some cooking and baking, obsessively stalking ValeyofDolls. On instagram and even doing a little bit of sewing. So prepare yourselves for a wedding blog post extravaganza, but first – a little sewing that helped me keep my (in)sanity throughout the last six months. Well, five of them actually. These robes are from Vogue 8888. Vogue’s...

My Love Affair With Sewing. Sharing My Passion For Creating My Own Clothes. Step Into My Closet. Vogue 8925 – It’s All About The Print. I purchased Vogue 8925 after seeing Art Attack’s version on Pattern Review. I wanted to replicate her version of a solid tunic with the outside neck facing. This was going to be part of my fall wardrobe plan. I was walking through Tissus Mode de L’Orme while on a recent trip to Granby, Quebec and came across this print. I loved it! Kitschy Coo – Lady Skater Dress. You ar...

Taking a Break | ReadyThreadSew

https://readythreadsew.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/taking-a-break

Yet another sewing blog. When a TNT is Neither Tried nor True. Trying Out New Readers →. March 13, 2013. I’m going to take a break from sewing for a while, which means I won’t be blogging either. Be sewing. Silly, but my mind works like that sometimes. I haven’t even watched most of the Craftsy courses I bought because, again, I should be sewing! It’s possibly just a time of year thing – in February last year I posted about having too many clothes. Not a typo – I play games years out of date! Perhaps if ...

Favorite Products and Resources. Light Load →. September 12, 2014 · 1:19 pm. 8220;This is your mission, should you choose to accept it. Mel is surely world famous by now for her exquisite wedding gown which, of course, she made, as well as the gowns for her attendants. Now, I have never met Mel (although I hope to someday! What am I working on? That was and still is, of course perfect for Fall. So it should come to no one’s surprise that I want to add one or two more Fall-appropriate dresses this year&#4...

P317_7: Patrones Pink Shorts « poppykettle

https://poppykettle.com/2014/10/20/p317_7-patrones-pink-shorts

P317 7: Patrones Pink Shorts. I used my trouser block draft from my previous post to (mostly) successfully alter a Patrones pattern to fit me straight up! Cue crazy happy dance! I bought this Patrones magazine (issue 317 – June 2012) after seeing it on Mel’s blog. Because I fell wildly in love with those pink shorts that are pattern #7. It’s only taken me two summers to actually get around to sewing them. I ended up sewing these using ‘couture’ methods, mainly because after throwing the silk ...I’l...

S1302: Mix’n’Match Tofino’s « poppykettle

https://poppykettle.com/2014/07/21/s1302-mixnmatch-tofinos

S1302: Mix’n’Match Tofino’s. Time for something easy to sew, thank you very much – there was a time not so very long ago I thought that if I even sewed a cushion cover in the next year, that would be too much, too soon. Couture techniques and hand sewing have been (temporarily) banished from the realm… and lets not even talk about this new law being 1 garment too late! These are the Sewaholic Tofino. Pj pants, and there were gasps of shock at Social Sewing. So because old habits die really, really hard (...

Style Arc: A Zimmermann Cyd « poppykettle

https://poppykettle.com/2014/07/07/style-arc-a-zimmermann-cyd

Style Arc: A Zimmermann Cyd. And back to normal blog programming! My goodness, it feels like it’s been forever… not to mention I’ve had a seriously sloooow start in getting back to normal sewing. I’m enjoying taking things at a more relaxing, non pressured pace. Style lines are utterly fabulous, and it was kinda awesome to buy a pattern online that was both in Aussie dollars AND sizing. Another love of mine is an Aussie clothing company called Zimmermann. Also, whilst in there I noticed they had their sc...

G31009: Ink & Spindle Portside Set « poppykettle

https://poppykettle.com/2014/07/28/g31002-ink-spindle-portside-set

G31009: Ink and Spindle Portside Set. I’ve loved the Australiana prints and earthy textures of Melbourne’s very own Ink and Spindle. Ever since ‘discovering’ them – they make eco-friendly hand printed textiles on ethically sourced fabrics. I’ve even been lucky enough to hang out in their production space a couple of times when I’ve joined the Handmaker’s Factory. For knitting lessons. It’s a wonderfully inspiring and feel-good place! The Portside Travel Set. I chose a Kangaroo Paw. I do believe I may hav...

Burda Style 12-2012-126 – Holiday Sparkle | My Love Affair With Sewing

https://myloveaffairwithsewing.com/2016/12/21/burda-style-12-2012-126-holiday-sparkle

My Love Affair With Sewing. Sharing My Passion For Creating My Own Clothes. Step Into My Closet. Burda Style 12-2012-126 – Holiday Sparkle. Burda refers to this top as having a “deep V”. They are not exaggerating. No amount of taping or pinning would have made this comfortable to wear. I opted to wear a camisole under my top. I normally avoid a camisole but in this case I’m very happy with the combination of the camisole and top. Here I am competing for attention with our friend’s Christmas tree 🙂.
