Statuesque Seamstress: October 2015

http://statuesqueseamstress.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html

Monday, 19 October 2015. Fudging it: or how to create a late Edwardian hat in less than 30 minutes. Or at least, nothing truly Edwardian, which was the historically notorious period of the militant suffragettes under Emmeline Pankhurst. The organizers of the event had suggested a long skirt and suit jacket as a suitable imitation of Edwardian wear, so I reached into my closet for a green 1890s skirt and petticoat (from this. Provided the 1.5-inch brown grosgrain ribbon and a pair of barred pheasant f...

Zeitunschaerfe | Steampunk & Perlenkunst: März 2015

https://zeitunschaerfe.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Etwas sehr spät für den St. Patrick Day, aber dieses Kleeblatt war auch eigentlich ein Zufall. Eventuell erkennt ihr ja Farben und Perlen wieder. Ja, das gute Stück war Anschauungsbeispiel für den Beitrag über das Einarbeiten von Perlen bei der Schiffchenarbeit. Auch für eine noch kommende Anleitung stand es Modell. Mir haben allerdings die Farben so gut gefallen, da habe ich es fertig gemacht. Diesen Post per E-Mail versenden. Schiffchenocchi: Ringe mit Perlenzentrum. Diesen Post per E-Mail versenden.

Moonlit Creations: February 2013

http://luna-musings.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 28, 2013. For those of you who may have missed it, my primary creative outlet is drawing. I have been having a terrible time actually doing it though, due to all the other things I need and want to do as well. I kept thinking I didn't have the time (same excuse I use for cleaning our room.eesh.). But then I read a blog post on Mabel and Riv. I decided that Intention needs be a theme in my life as well. That's why I made a weekly plan for my sketching practice. It takes the gues...And b...

Statuesque Seamstress: March 2016

http://statuesqueseamstress.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html

Monday, 21 March 2016. More Purple: Girl's Easter dress. It started with a library book. I started looking through it with my daughter, and she expressed an interest in one of the dress patterns included in its pages, namely "Mary's Fancy Sash Dress". A few quick size and yardage calculations later, I found myself in the fabric store looking for coordinating fabrics that wouldn't immediately alienate a ten-year-old girl who has expressed strong dislike for any colours that she deems "girly". The hardest ...

Friday, 27 March 2015. New Look 6150 review. I am finally posting a project I finished back in the autumn, since my notoriously camera-shy daughter allowed me to corner her to photograph the finished project. For this project, we opted for the simpler, boatneck T-shirt version, with elbow-length ruched sleeves, in part because this was my first-ever knit project in nearly thirty years. We opted for a light-to-medium weight sweater knit in an abstract print. Anna C. Meyer. Recently, a friend asked me to m...

Get A Wiggle On: April 2016

http://pleasantlymalformed.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html

Get A Wiggle On. A blog about sewing without finishing. Saturday, April 30, 2016. Labels: Dressing Thy Gentleman-Sister. My Trip to Disney in 2014 is well documented in my blog. Less well documented is the dresses I wore. I only have this one here of the Honey Do Dress, a fabric covered in white Daisies, bee hives and bees, and a few of my Micky Dress, as shown below. The Pattern I used was Butterick 6094. Actually I was quite proud of these dresses, and they were my go-to nice dresses when going out.

Get A Wiggle On: December 2014

Get A Wiggle On. A blog about sewing without finishing. Saturday, December 13, 2014. Ariel Pink Dress Trial Run! Ariel Pink Dress Tutorial. Friday, December 5, 2014. Ariels Pink Dress Tutorial Three. For the back closure I knew three things. 1) No zippers. I dont have anything against them, as a whole, trust me. But in my costumes an obvious zipper just kinda sticks out badly. Omg And image, getting INTO and OUT OF the dress! So, no buttons. 3) Buttons and zippers are the only things I had experience with.

Friday, 3 April 2015. New Look 6150 review, Part 2. After the relatively simple project that was the T-shirt version of the top. I was hoping that the wrap top would be of a similar difficulty. Short version? I chose the same jersey knit, in a different print,. And based on the amount of ease in the pattern, I opted not to do an FBA, just to test. I followed the directions as given in the pattern, although I did lengthen the sleeves about 5 cm. Also for next time:. 3/5 - Could be much more streamlined.
