abrics but thought since the bones were good why not try and make it in something drapey i didn t want to go buy fabric and to be fair i just wanted slouchy loungey goodness as someone who has worn the same outfit of yoga pants and a black turtleneck all winter because a i don t believe in winter sewing b mild life slump and health issues i ve been desperate for something fresh but not quite ready for full spring sewing so i shopped my stash and found this featherweight grey marle jersey perfectly perfect to lift me out of black turtle stupor i was in no mood for fuss so i paired back savaged the pattern and eliminated the bust dart left off the pockets to reduce bulk and did without the centre back closure call it laziness or design inspiration i decided to leave the neckline and arms unhemmed and coverstitched the hem only partly i really liked the unhemmed length of the sleeves when i tried it on and figured that being delicate and silky it worked to just go from fabric to skin without any bulk or fuss it s raw primal grrrr already i love it and i completely underestimated a t shirt dress as an unexpected closet hero ridiculously versatile it goes with everything you can wear it knotted at the waist with high waist jeans or leave it dress length with a blazer or over jeans with a kimono or by itself with a slip underneath because its sheer and i m a layyydddyyyy also because its featherweight i can wear it tucked in and not have any bulky bunchiness p a t t e r n solange dress from la maison victor f a b r i c grey marle jersey from the fabric store s i z e 10 l ov e d super quick sew entirely on the overlocker coverstitch and the end result m o d s cut the back piece on the fold eliminated pockets and back closure f i n i s h e s raw edges mostly n e x t t i m e i think i need a few of these 8 comments share twitter facebook pinterest 24 04 2017 indiesew spring summer blog tour s e w n i can t think of any better excuse than to dust off the blogwebs on this fine autumnal day to join in the indiesew spring summer collection blog tour i m sharing my newly beloved ogden cami by true bias and she s a good un i ve been thinking a lot of lately about what a truly awesome time in history it is to be sewing a hand made wardrobe when i first started sewing clothes for myself a few years ago i never imagined there would come a time when i lost all interest in shopping unless we re talking about fabric patterns accessories to go with hand made wardrobe i honestly can t remember the last time i stepped inside a westfield to buy an outfit so weird and weirder still is i don t feel like i m making any compromise or sacrifice at all sewing my own clothes being spoilt for choice when it comes to sewing patterns has a lot to do with it a generation or two ago there a small core group of pattern companies who may or may not have taken cues from mainstream fashion highly debatable i m sure i would have hated the lack of choice back then especially if it was a case of be clothed in handmades or go naked but now in 2017 there are so many new indie sewing pattern designers i almost can t keep up we are so lucky to have such variety of patterns beautiful fabrics and niche sewing businesses like indiesew popping up exclusively for us sewists we have much to catch up on i have been sewing sewing sewing like a mad woman all year but just not blogging blogging blogging apparently i ve also changed track pretty heavily when it comes to style and the choices i m making for my hand made wardrobe i ve been buying lots of solid fabrics hardly any prints and god forbid linen at some point in the last few months maybe with impending me made may i had a light bulb moment and realised that if i devoted a month or two to sewing some boring staples filling the gaps in my wardrobe with good base items then maybe it would be more fun to supplement it with frivolous sews because at least i would have something to wear them with it seems to be working and my resistance to basics is lifting i ve recently sewn black culottes skinny jeans cream palazzos navy cropped pants basically the basics which brings me to today s business which is to heavily plug the ogden cami slash camis in general and why you should sew one i have the bottoms department fairly well covered now but tops is another thing i don t even know what i like to wear on top any more to give you some idea of my lack of idea i sewed this kimono about two years ago it has remained mostly unworn and not just because of the funny thing about not wearing garments before they re safely photographed but also because i just didn t know what to wear with it or under it and buying wasn t an option obvs so there it sat step in ogden cami hellooooo like everyone else has been saying it s the luxy staple my wardrobe has been crying out for the art of the cami is a fine one and in my now cami knowledgable opinion the perfect cami is not too blousy not too fitted so that it can be enjoyed tucked in or out the ogden hits that sweet spot as you can see here i started with it out and eventually tucked it in this kind of versatility is pretty great especially if you find yourself with an almost entirely highwaisted wardrobe proportions are everything the ogden is a relatively quick make i was expecting it to be super quick but it took a few hours possibly because i decided to french seam the insides because i didn t want to change overlocker thread i m sure by the second or third you could be in a good rhythm and knock one out in under 2 hours maybe i am just slow anyway the instructions are friendly there s also a sewalong if you prefer more visuals but it s pretty straightforward the only mod i made was to reduce the strap width by 1 4 i like a delicate cami strap just aesthetics is all of course i will sew an army of ogdens now in fact i have another cut already now seems like as good a time as ever to confess that this whole outfit is made by yours truly bar underwear and shoes after my first successful foray into diy jeans i thought i would have a go at knocking off a favourite pair of rtw skinny jeans that i paid a lot of money for but now doesn t count because i ve got the pattern and it s mine to knock off forever mwahaha these jeans are really deserving of their own post which will come they were like the third child i never birthed and threatened to abandon by the roadside however what i will say for now is that this denim is noteworthy in itself it s from indiesew and truly one of the nicest denim fabrics i ve seen sewn and worn it s soft but snug and hasn t bagged out so far this little kimono i also knocked off a rtw piece of a friend s i loved the cocoon shape i picked up a little of this jaw dropping printed silk from emma one sock a few years ago and it s certainly magical but also crazy slippery and never stays on my shoulders which i kind of hate when i took these photos it was billowing and slipping off and wind was blowing it off and my hair all over my face and it was a sensory overload i hope you re inspired to diy your own ogden cami be sure to check out the rest of the makers and their makes on the indiesew spring summer collection tour line up below 8 comments share twitter facebook pinterest 06 09 2016 the namesake swimsuit s e w n it s spring it s spring out with the old in with a new hand made swimsuit and a new format to sooth our information bombarded brains instead of flipping back and forth between image and text you can look at pretty pictures and leave it s o k i get it or if you re interested in the specs or just here for the dulcet tones of my blogging voice it s all business as usual below it s no secret i m fond of swimsuits i ve been pinning them mercilessly here for years for no other reason than that i love swimwear fabric i love prints and i love what a brand new swimsuit symbolises a feeling of freedom holidays at the beach an early morning bodysurf letting hair dry salty and tangled that ferocious hunger that only an ocean swim can bring a sensory summer love fest maybe there s a repressed surf chick in here somewhere only now she s more about eco tan than real tans and simulated beach scenarios you could understand i nearly flat lined when heather from closet case files announced that 1 she was creating a bustier swimsuit pattern and 2 would i be okay with being it s namesake ummmm access to bustier swimsuits at the press of a peddle for ever let s be clear here it would be a honour to be the muse for any pattern but a bustier bikini well that really is the penultimate and sure it marries all the very best things about this sewing blogging community but it s also an uhhhhhmazing pattern one that i would recommend to you even if it were called the jessica or the savannah without further ado my sophie swimsuit experience p a t t e r n sophie swimsuit f a b r i c floral lycra stripe lycra similar here pitt trading tessuti are current hot spots for beautiful swimwear fabric s i z e bra 6 cup 4 briefs 8 p r o c e s s the pattern comes with an option of an accompanying video tutorial i love this idea being a visual learner and can t help but think how cool it would be if every pattern came with a video option having produced a small video tutorial this year and knowing the amount of time energy that goes into it this would be pretty hard to sustain but still i used the video tutorial the entire way and glanced at the printed instructions for backup in only a few sections as a bonus it was kinda like me and heather hanging out sewing a kini in my loungeroom l o v e d the fiddliness of the bra cup section having to be so meticulous and slow inserting the underwire channels top stitching the edges and threading the wire is as close to sewing zen as i ll ever get the way heather explains the process there s no room for guessing the result is 100 professional and you finish knowing you got new skillz f i t t i n g as per the instructions i chose a size 6 for the bikini top based on my under bust measurement lovely here s my advice be a good sewist now and don t play guessing games with heather s cup sizing chart ok she knows what she s talking about especially don t try and make connections between her cup sizing 1 2 3 4 and a b c d etc like i did my measurements put me between cup size 4 and 5 and i was all nah uh there s no way i m a d e cup no no no just follow the chart i cut out my size 3 cup completely out of fabric contrast moulding lining everything luckily you construct the moulding first so you can try it on in the mirror to see if it will go around a boob the size three covered like half a boob i had to go back and re cut the entire bra in the 4 even this felt like a major sizing compromise but now i think i could do with trying the size 5 cup hoping the 4 might become forgiving towards summer more salads less roasts etc the fit of the bikini bottoms is bang on having made several high waist bikinis here here i feel i am in a position to say that this is by far the most comfortable and secure assuming you like a proper high waisted bikini that is i cannot stand it when something claims to be high waisted only to sit an inch or two below the navel just no a high waist should rest on or over a navel like this one in my opinion there it serves many purposes but mainly to act like secret spanx m o d s i widened the centre front and back panels on the bottoms and reduced width of the side panels for more floral less stripe made slightly thinner bikini straps using the dimensions and process from this tutorial added boning to the side seams on bikini top i was introduced to the idea here and really liked the extra stability it provides for not too much fuss to insert d e s i g n n o t e s you know it s love or something else when you change the colour of the thread in your coverstitch zigzag to jump from the floral to the stripe section i also made three straps for the bikini top in total the one you see here which stretches from one side of the bra hook to the other plus another two separate straps out of the stripe for a neckband that ties up a girl has to have options n e x t t i m e if it wasn t perfection already heather s gone done released a bonus download for a long line version of the bikini top check out omg this one i would definitely add boning again on the side seams and possibly along the two vertical below bust seams like i notice quite a few rtw versions have how many swimsuits does one girl need guys i ve thought long and hard about this and oh look mustard floral zimmerman lycra 22 comments share twitter facebook pinterest 29 08 2016 croc culottes turtleneck s e w n i am so happy culottes are still around i love that they re re spawning too into a slightly thinner flared version i believe is getting around by the alias cropped pants i have no idea really but their lengthy fashion term means this we are spoilt for culotte sewing patterns there s so many so i ll just mention a special few there s the winslow culottes with some serious pleatage going on and some very cool versions around there s the galleria culottes sleek and classic not unlike their designer sasha there s the newly released emerson crop pant which seems to sit somewhere between a culotte and it s slender cropped cousin mentioned there s these you see here the style arc erin woven culottes plus a million more when choosing a culotte pattern it s important to know where you stand on pleats you can have no pleats a dash of pleats or shimmy right on down to pleat town these are your options and it s a personal choice but consider this pleats add volume not just in the pleat itself but that extra fabric all has to end up in the width of the pants at the base too i m partial to some detailing at the front yes but also aware it s only one hop and a pleat away from the culottes come parachute look at any time on the scale of pleats the erin culottes sit nicely around the middle literally the slanted side pockets become part of the side pleats and then there s a hidden deeper pleat in centre front the result gives some interest and detail whilst maintaining a mostly flat front the pattern makes up beautifully in a drapey woven as you can see in this white crepe version from the original pattern but then i was also moved by sallieoh s version made from fabric with obvious body after my first two forays into culottes were more novelty egg yolk and upholstery than wearable i decided to get serious and make pair that i would wear for the fabric i was imagining something subtle and textured to make a classic winter culotte to pair with cosy knitwear this cotton blend from the fabric store triggered a vague sense of out of body ness at the realisation i was about to buy something so khaki and muted however the combination of colour knobbly texture and good bottom weight made them look decidedly un hand made which i suspect is why i wear them all the time sizing wise i made my usual style arc size 8 ...
