I actually did pay quite a bit of attention to the leg bands. Rather than following the directions for the length of clear elastic tape, as I have found that Ottobre. S estimates very rarely work for the tape that I can find at JoAnn's, after pre-stretching the tape (a very, very. But it is enough for a good fit:. It has a bad tendency to flip down.

Sewing PhD: Ottobre Sundress turned Swim Dress!
http://sewingphd.blogspot.com/2014/06/ottobre-sundress-turned-swim-dress.html
Adventures in Postdoctoral Sewing. Saturday, June 28, 2014. Ottobre Sundress turned Swim Dress! I have been wanting to try making a bathing suit for myself since my first bathing suit attempt. In 2011, but as my further considerations. Show, I was not convinced that the design that Ottobre presented for women in the 2/2011 version was right for me. So I waited. When the latest Ottobre Woman came out, I was not looking to make swimsuits, but sun dresses! Construction was a lot trickier than if the pattern...

Okay, it's a little late, and I did have them done for Easter (about 2:30 am, to be precise.), but here are the finished Easter dresses! The delay was caused by my woeful lack of photo editing skills. I would like to have pixellated or blurred rather than cropping, but I finally settled on a combination of cropping and vignette in iPhoto. Here they are, modeled! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sewing PhD: Summer Dresses and Skirts Pt. 3: Ottobre Hippie Style and New Chic Dresses
http://sewingphd.blogspot.com/2014/06/summer-skirts-and-dresses-pt-3-ottobre.html
Adventures in Postdoctoral Sewing. Monday, June 23, 2014. Summer Dresses and Skirts Pt. 3: Ottobre Hippie Style and New Chic Dresses. I have been fascinated ever since Ottobre Woman. 2/2014 came out with the two sundress patterns that feature the same v-neck bodice. "The New Chic" has an A-line skirt and "Hippie Style" is a three-tiered maxi dress. They both caught my attention, but which to make first? This time, both were. I used a muted seafoam-colored linen eyelet that I have been having since 2005&#...

Adventures in Postdoctoral Sewing. Monday, March 31, 2014. SWAP: Sewing With A Plan, Summer 2014. It's been years since I heard of "SWAP," or sewing with a plan. And tried it. I had a plan of sorts to make my daughter- then 3 or 4- an Ottobre. This time, I would like to make myself. Wardrobe, including some pieces I've been wanting to make for years!

Sewing PhD: Summer Dresses and Skirts Pt. 2: ModKid Women's Skirt
http://sewingphd.blogspot.com/2014/06/summer-dresses-and-skirts-pt-2-modkid.html
Adventures in Postdoctoral Sewing. Thursday, June 19, 2014. Summer Dresses and Skirts Pt. 2: ModKid Women's Skirt. Here is another unplanned modification of my SWAP. I had originally intended to use this particular print for a sundress from Ottobre Woman. But decided to try out the skirt instead. This is the Madeline skirt from ModKid- a skirt with four different variations and a yoga waistband that can be made from knit or wovens. My results were mixed. It seems that the XL is perhaps not quite. Summer ...

Adventures in Postdoctoral Sewing. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Easter Dresses - Penultimate Post! When I post the next picture, they will be done and modeled! Last night I assembled the back and front skirt panels before bed. This morning I stitched the side seams, gathered and attached the skirts to the bodices. I am pretty happy with my gathers this time, but does anyone who sews not. I took a better picture- with my camera instead of my iPod- to celebrate my progress:. Ready for Easter after all! Yester...
