A Fabric Fixation: Sewing Autonomous Region
http://fabricfixation.blogspot.com/2015/07/sewing-autonomous-region.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. Alternately known as the Woman Cave, the Sewing Room and MINE. I have my table for my machines, a couch for lounging while I hand-sew, a tv for stories and shelves for all my things. Not pictured, is the door to the back yard where (once tamed) I can take pictures, and not yet hung, is a full length mirror. (I've been without the past year, which has made fitting tricky.). I love to hear from people :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I could really go for some lemon tarts.

A Fabric Fixation: Drafting your own half circle skirt pattern. Part Two
http://fabricfixation.blogspot.com/2012/01/drafting-your-own-half-circle-skirt_19.html
Thursday, January 19, 2012. Drafting your own half circle skirt pattern. Part Two. Asked for a bit more on the whole half-circle skirt thing. So, here we go. How much fabric do I need? Well, this depends - since you are drafting your own pattern its really up to you (helpful, no? But the real answer is 2*r2 , i.e. the length of the total distance from the bottom of the skirt to the center of rotation. (If you are confused, please read my previous post.

A Fabric Fixation: Drafting your own half circle skirt pattern. (Math is your friend)
http://fabricfixation.blogspot.com/2012/01/drafting-your-own-half-circle-skirt.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Drafting your own half circle skirt pattern. (Math is your friend). No new sewing for a bit, but I've been planning things out for when I'm back to normal. A few days ago I came upon Vivat-Veritas. Half circle skirt pattern. From the Grosgrain free pattern month. It was lovely, very simple, and solved a problem I've been having about a lovely but tricky print. 2) Divide WL by 2, for the quarter arc length in the image above. (Why divide by two for a quarter arc? 6) Pin a meas...

A Fabric Fixation: March 2015
http://fabricfixation.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2015. Popping up to say hello. A combination of winter and the flu killed my sewing mojo for a while there. I'm easing back in with baby-blanket for a friend of mine. Until I get myself sorted out, here is a large cat-beast. Someday soon I'll also get pictures off all the things I made over the winter and didn't photograph, because it was too cold to go outside without 17 layers. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Fabric Fixation: Beautiful, inside and out.
http://fabricfixation.blogspot.com/2015/06/beautiful-inside-and-out.html
Sunday, June 14, 2015. Beautiful, inside and out. My fluffy dress got its first outing, and I got around to taking pictures. This is the most thoroughly 'finished' dress I've ever made. The pattern is a modified tried and true, B5748. This time I went with a gathered skirt to best utilize the border print. The crinoline is built in, all the rough edges are bound, fully lined. You name it, it's there. I used double fold bias tape on the crinoline hem, which brought attention to its frothiness. Peter at th...

A Fabric Fixation: April 2015
http://fabricfixation.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. Thursday, April 16, 2015. 15 yards of ruffle. Wednesday, April 1, 2015. Me Made May - 15. This is just what I needed to start finishing the enormous pile of UFOs on my sewing table. Granted, I wear me-mades almost every day (I'm wearing some right now) but I like the community aspect of the whole thing. Has anyone else ended up with pile of nearly finished, abandoned-for-winter-because-it-was-too-cold-to-fit-things? I should add, my apartment has lousy heating). Me Made May - 15.
