Reves Mecanique: Gertie’s wiggle dress, or how I almost ruined my parents dining room table..

http://revesmecanique.blogspot.com/2013/06/gerties-wiggle-dress-or-how-i-almost.html

Sewing, creating, dreaming. Wednesday, June 5, 2013. Gertie’s wiggle dress, or how I almost ruined my parents dining room table. This is actually the second wiggle dress. I made, the first one quickly became one of my favorite dresses for going out, so I decided to make another one in wool. The smug face after an averted disaster. Easy peasy. I also changed the neckline a bit, I really like the shape of this neckline. Which I will blog about later on). Half an hour of steaming later I removed the fabric ...

A Bit of This and That | Juffrouw Symforosa

https://symforosa.wordpress.com/2014/08/26/a-bit-of-this-and-that

Wherein Miss S shares her most wondrous hours with the world. A Bit of This and That. I’ve been quite the busy bee lately, mostly with moving into our new home, installing my very own sewing. And putting that lovely little room to good use. So. Let’s play catch up, shall we? Hello, back yard! Yard = win. My smug face agrees. Expect that, so I screwed up my first muslin with an FBA I then found out I didn’t need. It’s far from perfect: I’ll need to work on the fit some more, particularly to so...They are ...

belgian seams - a sewing blog: August 2015

http://www.belgianseams.be/2015_08_01_archive.html

Earlier this summer I completed my third make as part of the White Tree Fabrics blog team. The pattern is a version of a dress I made before ( see this post. This time I made the bodice a bit looser and then gathered it along the neckline to pull in the excess. I made some thin strips of bias binding for the straps - they are a tad on the fragile side though and I've since reinforced them a bit! I love this shape of dress for summer. The fabric.

belgian seams - a sewing blog: M is for Marie, M is for May.

http://www.belgianseams.be/2015/05/m-is-for-marie-m-is-for-may.html

M is for Marie, M is for May. When I opened my latest White Tree Fabrics. Parcel and saw the yellow Tilda cotton. I'd asked for staring back at me, the summery styles in my République du Chiffon. Book 'Un été couture'. Sprang to mind straight away. I'd originally planned to make a halter-neck style with the Tilda (like in my previous post. But I decided to change my plans! This is my second make for White Tree fabrics as part of their blog team. And I'm really happy with it! But I like it so I don't care!

Reves Mecanique: Silk Saltspring maxi dress, I love you!

http://revesmecanique.blogspot.com/2013/09/silk-saltspring-maxi-dress-i-love-you.html

Sewing, creating, dreaming. Sunday, September 1, 2013. Silk Saltspring maxi dress, I love you! I got very excited when I saw the new pattern from Sewaholic, The Saltspring dress. I haven't sewed any of Tasia's patterns before and I had been hoping for a good excuse to buy them. The Saltspring Sew-Along was my perfect excuse! The gorgeous necklace is from AVP Design. Thanks to the Sarai from Colette Patterns. I also think that I might have to lengthen the bodice next time, as the elastic sits a bit high&#...

Reves Mecanique: Victoria, the love child between Suede and Indigo

http://revesmecanique.blogspot.com/2013/08/victoria-love-child-between-suede-and.html

Sewing, creating, dreaming. Friday, August 2, 2013. Victoria, the love child between Suede and Indigo. I completed my first By Hand London. Pattern, and I'm absolutely in love! First of all the packaging is gorgeous, the instructions have a lot of humour in them (made me laugh out loud! And the best thing. You get an awesome label to sew into your garment! Last week as I was taking the train on my way to work I had a great idea, what if I made the Victoria blazer out of suede? Working hard in warm weather.

Reves Mecanique: My Ohhh Lulu Bali Bikini

http://revesmecanique.blogspot.com/2013/12/my-ohhh-lulu-bali-bikini.html

Sewing, creating, dreaming. Saturday, December 14, 2013. My Ohhh Lulu Bali Bikini. For my trip to Bali I needed a new bikini, after some searching I found the gorgeous bikini. That Sarah from Ohhh Lulu. Made using her patterns. The top is made using the Jasmine Bra. Pattern and the panties are made with the Grace Panties. I followed Sarah's instructions and made the same changes as she did. One of them is to make the back band narrower, so it fits the bikini closure. I was hoping that I could also make a...

Reves Mecanique: August 2014

http://revesmecanique.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Sewing, creating, dreaming. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. After the love story that was my first Rigel Bomber. I've made a second one! I found some awesome sparkly neoprene fabric in Rotterdam. Since this fabric feels nice on the inside as well I decided I didn't have to line it. When I also decided to ditch the welt pockets it became a super fast project! I followed the instructions and made the same alterations as I did with my first bomber. Have you learned any sewing lessons the hard way? It was quite ...
