Said and done: Handmade by Chris. About me / über mich. Burdastyle 2013 # : The Dress That Almost Was Not to Be. July 3, 2014. Is it a dress? Or just the thought of a dress, vanished into thin air? Well, a little while ago, this could have gone both ways. This was, without and doubt, the MOST frustrating, difficult make I’ve ever made and not given up on – see, there’s the silver lining. Not that the dress has a silver lining, it is actually lined in blue! Burda do tell you to baste everything together a...

A quick new polka dot top | Jeanne Marie’s Sewing Studio
https://jmsewingstudio.com/2015/07/14/85526
Jeanne Marie’s Sewing Studio. Vintage for the real world. A quick new polka dot top. July 14, 2015. Even an “easy-to-sew” top can benefit from the making of a muslin first. In this case, the east-to-sew top was Simplicity 2594:. I made View C but in the longer View A length. By making the muslin (from an old sheet), I discovered:. How much of a full-bust adjustment I needed to make. Construction changes I wanted to make. That the pleats I was thinking of replacing with gathers looked really sharp. As for...

Orange Sunset Top – pattern scissors cloth
https://patternscissorscloth.com/2016/03/03/orange-sunset-top
Tricks of the Trade. Guess where we headed last night to photograph my new top:. It was such a lovely evening and I thought Point Chevalier beach would be perfect in the setting sun to show off a summery orange number. Why not start with a back view? Sometimes the tide comes right up and you have to run in the water and up along this footpath. When the tide is out you can run right along the coast, although you might need your trail shoes! And c) vertical front darts extending to the hem instead of my fa...

Helter Skelter Dress – pattern scissors cloth
https://patternscissorscloth.com/2016/02/17/helter-skelter-dress
Tricks of the Trade. Viscose helps too – being cool to the touch I find it one of the most comfortable fibres to wear in our humid summers. This was a viscose challis that I scored for $12 at the Moa fabric clearance. Last year. The print reminds me of helter skelters. 8211; do you remember them? What collar you say? Hidden by my hair in almost every photo except this windblown one is a stand collar, which is cut on the bias so it rolls nicely around the neckline. I will try and remember to put a hook an...

The Seeds of 3. Sewing, Gardening, and Homeschooling Adventures. Testing, Testing……. June 2, 2014. As a trained scientist, everything I do revolves around using the scientific method. You would be surprised at how globally helpful it can be when faced with questions that need to be answered, especially when there are way to many variables and permutations in play. Have I lost your attention yet? 1) what type of garment to make – a dress? 2) What size(s) to make? 2T, 6 months, 8 years? 2) GOTS (and really...
