the somnolent dachshund november 2013 the somnolent dachshund pages home gallery tuesday 26 november 2013 sewing from japanese pattern books drapedrape2 i do like the visual style of sewing from japanese pattern books magazines in general having instructions in english doesn t seem as important when the pattern pieces fit together and there are numbers indicating the order of sewing and which bits connect where and i might just like a puzzle perhaps for my contribution to the monthly stitch for november s challenge from a sewing book i chose a japanese magazine female however that dress can wait for another post as i had a delightful time with drapedrape2 i ve previously blogged about the batwing dress of awesomeness and this time i d love to introduce you my renditions of 2 and 4 4 the left sleeve is a batwing with lovely draping while the right is a more typical sleeve shape read more posted by macinic at 21 07 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share

sewing for cooler weather has been easier to think about as summer still seems so far away woollen skirts and knee high boots have long been essential items in my winter wardrobe however i ve not tried to sew one until now i can attest to the winter warmth of wool and leather and the yet to be blogged leggings underneath as i braved a windy ballarat day to celebrate my grandma s 90th birthday celebrations my green wool skirt is from gertie s new book for better sewing and is her pencil skirt with a drafted back flounce variation and a drafted waistband i hadn t sewn with any of gertie s patterns before and i over did it a little with my safe seam margins gerties sizing 6 waist 28 hips 40 8 waist 30 hips 42 10 waist 32 hips 44 12 waist 34 hips 46 for my 40 hips and 32 waist of course i cut a size 12 i have side seams of 1 1 2 each having narrowed the skirt considerably in stages the vintage metal zip is machine sewn to the seam allowance then hand picked to the main wool fabric the hem is also hand picked after having bias tape sewn to the hem and turned under i ve never been the neatest handsewist though trying to keep my stitches loose did help immensely with minimising their appearance on the right side the hem is much more subtle than the zip pressing the skirt brought back many memories of classrooms filled with wet woollen jumpers and standing close to heaters to dry the skirt is lined in a green lining material attached at the waistband both fabrics are from rathdowne remnants and the green wool was a delight to sew and press for those unfamiliar with the oddities of australian weather ballarat is commonly accused of being the coldest non alpine city in the state a claim encouraged by those who guard their gold rush history closely posted by macinic at
