I've been working on this dress or the last week it's been tricky at times and I still have the zipper to attach and to try and clip the collar and stitch it to get it to stay down. I am a bit worried that my bodice hangs too low on me I was going to take the shoulder seams in a little to raise it up but i think i will just add a little shoulder pad and a little self fabric belt if i have enough fabric leftover.<br />
<br />
the inspiration : the colour is inpired by 1920's peach lingerie.<br />
the frills around the neckline are inspired by the 1930's<br />
and the horizontal pleats are inspired by the 1940's (and the whole fabric is covered in tiny pleats which is what making this dress a tad difficult!<br />

I will hopefully finish them all and take some photos soon.<br />
<br />
what I can show you is my plans for making an apron for while I'm cleaning up. I overdyed some fabric that was cream with lime green checks with a black dye so I have a dark blue grey purple fabric with greenish checks and that's what's going to be used for this apron.<br />
<br />
some potential patterns:<br />

This is the biggest problem I have with pencil skirts...I just rip the back split. Though be a few more out there who have the same issue and might find this tip helps.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
here's another tip I just found from the 1930's:<br />
<br />
use <b>toilet paper</b> for sewing slippery seams, just put the toilet paper between the fabric and the foot of the the machine.

this is a faux linen fabric with 2 strands of confetti coloured yarn and a maroon top stitching.
I have found some beige poly knit from the 1960's, so i was thinking about making a top and creating some sort of embellishment just to lift the colour a bit...next thing i might try is a loopy beige fuzzy yarn held in place with zig zag and a gold thread mixed in.</center>

<p>Well I thought I'd give bound buttholes ago finally...they are actually not too hard to make, but I wasn't happy with the uneven look of my first one so I am going to research and find some other methods incase I like them better.<br />
I have also been working on the 1910's blouse, and it's been a real eye opener and I'm enjoying it, so far the fusible interfacing has worked well but it was really hard getting the collar stitched up. I have been using a pressing cloth and the iron on polyester setting (that seems to work well) <br /></p>

I have a thing for shirts in silky fabrics,I found this photo of an outfit I obviously likes when I was 17, I remember I had quite a few like this, mostly 70's synthetics(ewww) but that was all I could find at the time as I hadn't learnt to sew by 17.<br />
So lately I have been loving Chloe's blouses and their oversized pastel jackets...but first I noticed most of their lovely pussy-bow blouses in many shades of cream to peach are silk crepe de shine...well I can say I have never worked with anything like silk crepe de chine(still working on old cotton sheet fabrics!) but hopefully I can move up in the world and challenge myself to some silk....</center>

attaching the collar is being a pain...i attached it wrong, but I can make it work...also cup some bias binding that seems like a pretty close colour match(that'll look better if I overdye the finished blouse)... next I have to cut out the sleeves and the cuffs...will need to hem the gathered parts before I sew the seams...not sure how to finish the seams there now.</center>

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/filecutter">pattern bought here!</a>(lovely service:-))
I bought this blouse pattern, with the hope it would sharpen my skills and give me a nice blouse to wear for autumn/winter. I decided to use an old bed sheet(yes I am that confident in my sewing abilities) just in case I stuffed it up, with the hope that I can overdye it using a much darker colour.
I'm pretty pleased so far...it's been a really nice solid pattern to sew apart from marking out all the pleats and gathers and tucks. The thing I would do better next time is my gathering skills...i just did the one row of gathering stitches instead of two...also because the sheet is an old one the pattern was really hard to get straight so i just gave up...next time hopefully I can get that spt on.
This pattern really needs to be made up in something sexy like a crepe, the cotton is just too stiff looking, I would love to try dyeing silk and making a blouse from this pattern, but alas..soooo expensive.Allisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17702033621295357937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552752947533308646.post-44001672054774729522013-03-18T19:08:00.000-07:002013-05-15T00:06:11.628-07:00Free 1912 Embroidery Design<p>I was after a long skinny design that would work on decorative area of blouses I'm sewing, I thought this one was cute so here it is.</p>

Flat trimmings are quite frequently relieved by jabots, frills, and ruffles.
The smartest of these frilly trimmings are finished with irregular edges, not merely scalloped edges, but irregular scallops as shown here in the enlarged view of the jabot of the dress in the sketch.
<p><center><b>
The lattice trimming</b> down the front of the dress is made of bias bands of the dress material cut to be three quarters of an inch wide, finished. Mark the lattice design first on the dress with pencil or chalk. To do this mark the centre front ol the dress with a line of basting, cut a three inch square of paper, place it on the line as at K, and draw around it to outline squares one below the other. Place the jabot at the neckline, then baste and stitch the bias band over the chalk line as shown here.</center></p>
<b>To make this jabot</b>, cut two pieces of material six inches long and five inches deep, place the two pieces face to face, mark scallops at ends as at A, and stitch along mark- ings as at B. Cut away material near stitching, slashing curves and points as at C. Turn right side out, press scallops, and shirr through centre as at D.</center>

<br />
<b>To make a 'box-pleated' ruche:—</b>
Cut the material on the exact straight twice the width you want the finished ruche to be.
Fold over from both edges toward the middle, slightly lapping the cut edges in the centre. See diagram 2.<br />
<br />
Form the pleats by folding first to the right and then to the left.
Tack along the centre and then machine right down the middle if you want an
even pleat each side, or if you want an uneven effect, stitch to one side of the
centre line. See diagram 3<br />
<br />
. A very pretty effect is given to ruching if
after making the box-pleating, the edge of each pleat is caught up as shown in diagram 4.<br />
<br />
Box-pleating makes a nice finish on the edges of collars and cuffs. To do the flat pleating,
such as is best for this, cut the material on the exact cross way. Fold down the centre very evenly,
making; the two cut edges quite even. Pleat first to riain and then to left, or you can make the pleats
to be all one way if you prefer it.<br />
<br />
Tack or stitch the pleats along one edge only.
This edge is put to the collar outside edge and cuffs edge. The result is a nice stand-out effect.
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>GATHERED ruching</b> is very lovely if made in silk such as taffeta. The edges of this should be frayed.
To fray silk the material must be cut on the exact crossway. Allow three times
the length you require the ruche to go on. Make any joins as neatly as possible. With the scissors or
a blunt knife, gently drag the edge of the crossway silk.<br />
<br />
You will find that one way of the material
will fray oetter than the other, so always test a small piece oi the silk first, when you have one side
frayed turn to the reverse side of the material to do the other side. Thus you would work on the
right side of the silk to do one edge and you would work on the wrong side to do the other edge.
Be sure to test the edges first on a small piece.<br />

See diagram 5 for frayed runche.

I have finished my big scarf, I knit it on my knitting machine which is new for me but is from the 1950's. I cast on 90 sts and knit at a tension of 10 (very loose). I love the colour of this scarf, and I have just the black blazer to wear it with.Allisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17702033621295357937noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552752947533308646.post-20269391138642800002012-12-30T02:09:00.000-08:002013-05-15T00:13:39.260-07:00Gres Coat- Dare I modify and make it?I love this pattern....and I really really love this mill offcut of boiled? wool, it's abeutiful colour and would be very warm as a coat...it was a gift from my boyfriend for my birthday back in March, but I'm only really getting back into sewing recently.
I'd like to make the coat but will need to make a few adjustments....I'd love a shortish kind of coat so i was thinking below the tab in length...and also lengthening the sleeves...it just isn't practical for me to make 3/4 sleeves becasue even with a long sleeve top underneath it isn't warm and goes into the that.. category that I would put arm warmers and fingerless gloves in.
anyway here's a photo of pattern and fabric...let me know what you think
