Text of the page (random words):
february trend of clothes not fitting me the skirt is a smidge too small although still wearable however as my weight tends to fluctuate and i seem to be at the top end of that fluctuation at the moment i m confident that this skirt will get worn at some point please ignore the unfastened hook and eye in the photo of the back i am squishier than dolly and it does fasten on me i am really happy with my plaid matching at all the front and back seams this skirt has a yoke piece strange front pockets and a waistband and not so happy with the side yoke seams i managed to match up both the main side and back seams but not the side seams of the yoke i can t remember why i didn t do this it may have been due to lack of fabric or more likely i got overwhelmed by trying to match up everything so gave up when i was cutting out although looking at the photo of the side seam i do appear to have done quite well with the vertical matching of the red stripe maybe i did that on purpose i do remember that i was using the red stripes as my markers for pretty much every cut i made but if i m really honest i have to admit that i paid absolutely no attention to the vertical stripes so the fact they ended up being quite symmetrical is really just a happy accident this skirt could have looked really nice with the purple top from yesterday s post but that top is now in my maybe i can make something else from this wadder pile i washed it with the hope it would shrink and it did in the wrong direction it is now both too wide and too short fortunately there are so many colours in the skirt that i have lots of other tops that will work with it i also know that mr rts has a great purple and black t shirt that i m fairly sure is too small for him now so i can steal that as a pj top so yesterday s pj pants won t end up orphaned and i won t need to buy more fabric i m now almost too scared to sew anything else i ve already cut out this month because it seems as though nothing will fit me properly then again i still have too many clothes as i posted about last year so it doesn t really matter i think i ll set myself a teeny challenge it s eleven days to the end of the month and i already have nine garments cut out all except one are patterns i ve sewn before and four of them are s3696 so it should be easy to get them all sewn before the end of february they are tiramisu dress simplicity 3696 pj top simplicity 3696 pj pants faux dress skirt and top simplicity 3696 pj pants yet again another simplicity 3696 pj top butterick 5388 the only garment i haven t tried before cowl neck top and another burda 02 2010 104 cut from a previously made skirt eleven days nine garments i m sure you ll all be glued to your screens wondering if i ll make it it s obviously as exciting as the amazing race or project runway posted in sewing sewing plans tagged skirt 4 comments purple plaid pyjamas posted on february 16 2013 by readythreadsew sorry couldn t resist the alliteration before i post about my newest sewing project i have decided that i really should have made a new year resolution i must learn and bother to take better photos i know that i have never taken great photos for this blog this is mainly due to a real lack of usable places in my tiny flat i ve recently re arranged the furniture and this has just made it worse i am going to try to do better i can to some degree blame my camera i got it free with a 60 printer about three years ago so it s not exactly cutting edge however i have on occasion managed to get some okay photos with it so i m going to aim for more of the okay photos rather than the rubbish ones i tend to post on to the sewing before sewing my purple plaid pyjamas today i finally got around to turning my unsuccessful tiramisu dress into a skirt i didn t do anything particularly fancy or clever i simply cut off the bodice created a casing and added elastic i think i now have something i will wear because it no longer feels as though the fabric is trying to drag itself down into the ground it is still a little too thin but i have white half slips that i think will make it presentable i also have these boots that i don t wear nearly often enough even though they are as comfy as slippers they are red although they might look orange in the photo i blame my camera i can t remember if i ve mentioned it before but my comfy plan also extends to my footwear i have been gradually selling off a lot of my uncomfortable high heels on ebay most of them unworn or only worn once and replacing them with comfy footwear since starting this i ve also stopped looking at high heels on the rare occasion i now go into shoe shops and i ve really starting noticing how many fabulous low heeled shoes boots now exist i used to be that person who would buy any pretty shoe especially in a sale no matter how uncomfortable it was now i rarely buy any shoes unless they are really really comfy no more i ll get used to the height even though i haven t really worn anything higher than 2 5 for more than ten years or they ll stretch even when they aren t leather or they re only 10 so i only have to wear them a couple of times and then never wear them at all because they were so uncomfortable to start with etc etc i think mr rts is still surprised when i don t look at shoes when we are out shopping after all those asides i suppose i should post about the title garments my purple plaid pyjamas made using yet again simplicity 3696 i absolutely love the pants they are a perfect fit and i am very happy with my plaid matching the top is more of a meh i used a tnt pattern but for some unfathomable reason it is too big almost unwearably too big i stuck it in a 50 degree wash tonight in the hope that the cotton lycra mix might shrink if it were just too big across the body then i would have taken in the side seams but it is too low at the front and falling off my shoulders as it is a raglan sleeve there isn t any way that i know of to make it smaller without also making it shorter and i like the length i may simply have to buy more fabric and make a smaller size i m also slightly concerned because i ve got two more pj tops cut out using the same pattern although with different fabrics i think february is destined to be my make buy clothes that don t fit month i very rarely buy any clothes but a couple of weeks ago i was in primark with mr rts buying him some new cheap t shirts for work i had previously bought a couple of pairs of 3 leggings from primark and although they don t wear very well i don t wear leggings enough to make my own so i wanted to pick up another couple of pairs i managed to come home with one pair size 8 10 and another size 18 i am trying to see this as a good thing though i so rarely buy clothes now that i had completely forgotten that the size on the hanger is often not the size on the clothes also because they are leggings and leggings are not pants this isn t too big a deal because i only wear them with tunic or longer length tops i also picked up these boots for 6 that are completely comfy i have about a bazillion other garments well nine cut out so i hope to update again soon posted in finished projects sewing tagged cotton jersey pjs shoes simplicity tiramisu 6 comments my first tiramisu that didn t quite work posted on february 6 2013 by readythreadsew if you read here regularly you may be aware that i ve bought quite a few fabrics with the intention of making steph s tiramisu dress i ve never bought as many fabrics for one pattern before except s3696 especially before i d even made a muslin but i really love the idea of this dress as it appears to fit my comfy clothes criteria jersey easy to wear hopefully easy to sew etc well i ve made my first version which was intended to be a wearable muslin but it didn t quite work out that way this is totally my fault because sometimes i m an idiot the photos make it look pretty good on dolly if you don t look too carefully ignore the gaping pockets they are going to be removed i did add quite a lot to the length because i like to wear my dresses long but other than that i cut the pattern exactly as printed unfortunately i made two stupid mistakes the first was fabric choice i knew when i was buying it that it wasn t really right but hoped i would get away with it one day i ll learn it is one of those thin jerseys that also manages to be heavy so the whole dress is pulling down from the shoulders i feel that if i wore it for more than about an hour it would grow in length by at least a foot and the midriff would end up at my hips the fact that it includes white stripes makes it worse because where it is quite fitted such as across the back it is also quite sheer and would need a slip underneath to be really wearable i suppose a slip could be helpful because if it grew in length as much as i think it would then at some point i d probably walk on the front hem trip and fall a over t so a slip would at least preserve my modesty the fabric is just too stretchy in all directions for this dress if you look closely at the photos actually you don t need to look closely it s really obvious the underbust gathers that should be there aren t they were there i did sew them but they disappeared on me i did the gathering as i would for any other pattern and then sewed the gathered bodice pieces to the front midriff at that stage the gathers didn t seem as though they were in quite the right place and i was very pleased to discover that they were still adjustable now at this point i should have realised that was a bit strange and wondered why but i was just happy that i could adjust them i fiddled around a bit got the gathers where i wanted them went back to the machine and sewed over the seam a second time then serged it when i next sat at the sewing machine i though that it was sewing a little strangely and realised i still had the tension released for when i sewed the two rows of gathering stitches at this point i still didn t think that anything might be wrong with the bodice it wasn t until i d sewn the rest of the dress and then tried it on that i discovered the magic disappearing gathering because the fabric is just soooo stretchy and i used a stitch that could stretch out the front midriff piece simply stretched out enough to encompass the completely unstable gathered bodice pieces which promptly gave up their gathering so i now have a saggy unshaped bodice and a stretched out midriff one really nice thing is that even with my complete cockup the neckline still doesn t gape the promise of which is one of the main reasons i bought the pattern if the fabric was better and i really though i would wear the dress then i know it would be salveagable but i honestly don t think i d wear it too thin too stretchy however i absolutely love the chevron effect on the skirt so i m going to cut the bodice off fold over the midriff to form a waistband casing and add some elastic so i ll end up with a skirt that i know i will wear i ve been sewing so many tnts recently that in some ways it was nice to be reminded why a muslin is often so useful especially when it is so easy for me to do something that is just plain stupid posted in sewing tagged dress jersey muslin tiramisu 5 comments comfy clothes update posted on february 4 2013 by readythreadsew first up i honestly thought i had written to say that mr rts got the job he was going for last time i posted i must have written the post in my head but not in reality anyway he got the job it s longer hours and less pay than his last job but much more interesting work so we re going to see how it goes in sewing news i ve made a start on my comfy clothes none of these are very exciting but they are all comfy first is the frumpiest thing i think i ve ever sewn but it is really comfy and very warm it s slightly on the large side but i didn t pre wash the fabric i never do with jersey so i m waiting until it s been washed a couple of times before i alter it just in case in shrinks a little i used yet again simplicity 3696 as i do for nearly all my nightwear i had bought two lengths of this fabric because i also wanted to make a pj top to go with my beige and cream stripe pj pants i also managed to squidge another simple t shirt from the remnants i keep making this t shirt from remnants but forget every single time that the pattern is slightly too small for me i must find a new simple t shirt pattern or alter this one i also made my crazy prints lounge outfit using simplicity 2289 top and 3696 pants the sizing on the top was strange i originally sewed a size m and this was huge in the body but surprisingly snug at the cuffs there wasn t much i could do about the cuffs but i did take about 3cm off each side seam to make it not quite as sack like as it came out originally this brought it closer to being a size s i also doubled the fabric for the collar piece because the wrong side of the fabric shows when worn and the jersey i used was plain black on the back i m still reserving judgment on this outfit and haven t worn it yet but mr rts loves it i think it ll get dug out the next time we have one of those horrible grey wet days that we get so many of in the uk my change to the side seams meant i had to move the pockets but they are better positioned as altered than they were originally also look at my pattern matching there s a pocket hiding there next is another faux dress same as the black and white polka dot version i made ages ago i managed to squeeze this out of 1 5m of fabric and i was really impressed that i was able to nearly match the vertical pattern through the skirt and top even though i had so little fabric the fabric for this is very strange and i have some more cuts of it in different prints my local fabric store calls it warm jersey and it has a strange almost velvet or moleskin like texture it clings to itself horribly when trying to pin and sew but not so much when wearing i m not really looking forward to sewing with it again but it comes in such amazing prints that i can t resist i ve also sewn my first version of the tiramisu dress that didn t work out too well my fault not the pattern s but i think i ll give that a separate post because mr rts got the job i m not on quite such a fabric fast as i thought i would be and when i was in town a few weeks ago a few more managed to sneak their way into my stash quite a few of them are for surprise surprise pjs using s3696 i don t tend to sleep in the pjs i prefer to wear a
