ound each bug is cut away more leaves will show and they won t look so chunky on the dress i bought three of johanna basford s books and nobody is allowed to colour in them it could be a while before this theme runs it s course this is the first post i ve managed to write using my tablet rather than desktop computer and since i use my tablet almost exclusively maybe that s why i don t post more often posted by judy ross at 11 06 pm 6 comments labels alabama chanin tuesday june 23 2015 the gray skirt hehehe only time i will spell the colour gray in honour of david gray naturally yes i m that easily amused i finished my skirt in time for the concert which was seriously bucket list amazing best event ever here s a dodgy phone pic of how i wore it to work afterwards i wore the silver top a vogue issey miyake design i made a few years ago no tights and a dressier jacket to the concert too excited to get a pic of that did i mention that the concert was amazing and after i finished that i started this dress which i put aside for a while to work on something else then came back to and finished in record time if i d gone full on from start to finish it would have been done in less than a fortnight i wanted to try this dress pattern the long version of my words top before i commit to a more labour intensive embellishment idea i like it i love the cardy i m wearing in the above pic a mid weight long sleeved bolero from work which i do not yet own it matches my dress perfectly so i think it might be my next purchase posted by judy ross at 3 42 pm 3 comments labels alabama chanin wednesday february 18 2015 queue jumping projects i ve long been guilty of abandoning a project part way through in favour of one which takes my fancy right now unless i have a specific deadline i have come to embrace this i won t be working on the project i m not inspired by anyway so i might as well set it aside usually i come back to these projects with renewed enthusiasm or ideas i ve just set aside my current alabama chanin project the pale orange skirt and top i set aside to go back to the rose dress which in turn had been set aside for those because in april david gray is playing in christchurch he is my absolute all time favourite singer so i am positively bouncing with excitement and counting down till the concert which i m going to with my sister naturally that needs a new outfit i would love to have made a grey rose dress but two months isn t long enough so i figured i d make a skirt i ve been having fun winding up georgia by saying i should wear all grey because his name is gray she says no mum just no i started with this dress which i got in an op shop i think it was paperbag princess for 2 last year no way would i wear it like this however it s a lovely soft rayon knit and has only one side seam and one shoulder seam meaning i could harvest the whole thing for fabric after cutting the four skirt panels there is a nice big chunk left which will become something else therese asked how i print onto fabric well it s very low tech i cut a stencil from laminator plastic i get the nice people at warehouse stationery to run me through an empty piece which costs me a few dollars this one is made from some offcuts they gave me for nothing taped together i apply the fabric paint fastex brand because that is what is available locally and it works just fine using a foam roller and tray which cost about 9 from bunnings i leave the painted panels to dry overnight then heat set the paint with an iron this is the first panel with most roses stitched and snipped a few beaded and a few left to bead if i have time before april closer shot the underlayer is pale blue but appears quite greyish against the darker grey the paint is white but looks pale grey on the dark grey as well how long till april posted by judy ross at 10 38 am 2 comments labels alabama chanin thursday january 1 2015 nougat finally i abandoned this dress last summer in a bout of apathy over our dismal summer it sat in many many pieces for a very long time until i found my to sew list actually empty of stuff for other people i ve been chipping away at it for a while and today seemed like a good day to finish start the new year by completing a ufo note that for a change i am looking at the camera and smiling david is on holiday and took these for me i m not thrilled with it but that is not the fault of the pattern which i absolutely love i used two rather light and not opaque cottons underlining gave the required opacity but created considerable bulk which was difficult to deal with inside there are places that look like a total dog s breakfast and my seam matching along one side seam is sooooooo not up to my usual very anal standard since matching the seams was going to cause more problems i elected to leave them be and be satisfied that at least the seam lengths matched and the zip is smooth the biggest issue is simply that i am not the same size that i was when i started it it fits but not that well not the fault of dress or pattern being cotton it will give a little with wear which will help oh yes i am definitely going to wear this i ll just have to make it again in a more appropriate fabric and size because i still neeeeeeeeed this dress it is such a cool design and a fun challenging make things i really love in a pattern posted by judy ross at 2 55 pm 3 comments labels nougat stepalica patterns tuesday december 9 2014 slow roses well these were a long time coming both dress and post shortly after i last posted the manager at work resigned and i worked full time for two months while a new one was recruited worked out her notice at her previous job and was trained she is really lovely so worth waiting for i know plenty of women work full time and manage a family and sew etc etc etc but i found that by the time i got home at 6pm when it was dark since it was winter i was totally lacking in motivation to actually sew anything i continued sporadic work on this dress which i know i d begun by january missing two deadlines by which i d considered finishing before a final full on push to finish in time to wear it to a barbecue we were invited to the day after a wedding we were also invited to in wanaka last weekend tada end result of almost a year s work around 100 hours probably alabama chanin six panel dress rose stencil adapted from a design i found in a library book once again a side turned head i m afraid i could not get a shot of my face that didn t make me go urgh and hit the delete button the tripod pics get the job done but a real live person behind the camera gets a much better shot i also made a new dress to wear to the wedding naturally but did not get a single photo of myself at said wedding so will have to dress up for the camera some other time not today because the dress on which i based the pattern is in the laundry and i need to show both of them hopefully it won t take me four ish months to get around to it no promises edited to add i ve just proofread this after publishing and noticed some words are underlined and link to ads i m not active enough online to have any idea what that s about so my apologies for the annoyance i ll get my tech support team ie the teenagers to explain it to me and see if we can make it go away posted by judy ross at 9 25 am 9 comments labels alabama chanin thursday july 3 2014 i made a dress and undies i find the sewing mojo tends to desert me in winter despite the fact that my sewing desk is in a lovely sunny corner of my house flooded with sun and natural light and lovely to work at this winter is no exception and i have a pile of projects in various stages of completion some just vague plans some concrete plans with pattern and fabric selected some cut out some partly sewn i find it best to just go with whatever project fires me at the time which was this dress a week or so ago i d seen it in the april burda style 106 and decided that i must have it i even had that issue out of the library before it hit the store shelves here but didn t get around to tracing it because i didn t have fabric chosen then when sorting my fabric stash i came across this one which fit the bill perfectly very drapey neutral colour i bought the magazine on a friday and finished the dress monday night leap frogging several other already started projects typical the front collar thing drapes really nicely but i did end up hand sewing it from the point to where it is joined a bit further up the neckline it flopped just a bit more than i liked next time i make this i feel a shorter version coming on to wear with jeans i ll just sew it in all along the neckline seam it is a bit wrinkly from wearing which i didn t notice till i looked at these pics and rushing to get in front of the camera after pressing the timer button means that i didn t get the collar to sit perfectly either oops i love the shapely little cap sleeves i made a straight unaltered size 36 which with the benefit of hindsight would be perfect if i wanted to wear it like this but it is winter here and cold so i wear it with my cosy warm tech merino under it bulking things up a bit for work i wear it with this mid weight cardy over the top leggings and my beloved pink boots i love that this colour was introduced by work because it matches them perfectly i feel i should apologise for the pretty uninspiring photos here today is my day off and quite frankly i ve been that busy lately that the thought of brushing my hair let alone styling it nicely or in any other way making an effort was just too much i figured i d snap these and at least get it posted maybe next time i wear it to work i ll take some better ones better yet get david to take them because he makes me smile i feel like an idiot smiling at a camera on a tripod so tend to look a bit dour my other quick project was these the rosy ladyshorts from cloth habit i haven t made myself undies for over 20 years but find as i get older i m getting fussier about how i like them to fit so thought i d give this pattern a go the fabric is an offcut from a drapey cardy i altered for one of my craft group friends it needed the droopy front point reduced and what i cut off was big enough to trial these undies i made them exactly according to instructions and i like how they turned out i haven t worn them yet since i only made them yesterday evening and wanted to photograph them before wearing so i ll report later on how they are posted by judy ross at 11 00 am 11 comments labels bwof thursday april 17 2014 the 7 tinkerbell costume georgia was going to a peter pan themed birthday party can we just take a moment here to rejoice in a bunch of 14 year olds who think this would be fun rather than something involving pretty much any celebrity of their demographic anyway she wanted to go as tinkerbell which i thought would be a really easy costume to make it was it was also very cheap i found this cotton waffle weave dressing gown in tinkerbell green in an op shop for 1 score after cutting out the pieces for the dress this was all we had left the pattern for the dress was a blend of two patterns bodice from 124 and skirt from 110 from burda 06 96 this is why i have a large collection of burda back issues i can always find a pattern which will speed up any drafting required for any style i need fabric constraints meant that i had to fold out one of the skirt pleats which reduced the very pronounced hips that tink has but it was close enough georgia requested that her skirt be a tad longer than tink s also ie not in danger of showing her knickers if she bent over phew and here s tinkerbell i bought her wings at a dollar type shop for 3 50 and she bought a can of yellow hairspray for 2 50 she made a wand from a twig painted pink and tied on various scraps of organza ribbon which i had lying around my clear strapped bra and green shoes finished her off i did pin fit the bodice on georgia but that was the total extent of care taken no internal structure whatsoever the dress is safety pinned to her bra no seam finishing other than clipping and topstitching open the hem is raw and the only time any of the project saw an iron was when i needed to press the dressing gown s front band open to cut facings from it rather different from my usual anal attitude that everything must be just so and to finish while we were taking photos isabella wanted in on the act big sisters being what they are georgia photobombed posted by judy ross at 9 27 am 4 comments labels burda friday february 28 2014 drape drape quickie having long been a fan of the drape drape garments showing up all over the internet and having had drape drape 1 out of the library already i was beside myself with glee to find 2 and 3 on the shelves a couple of weeks ago i love the dunedin public library i have several patterns traced and in the queue of stuff i have to make but as a first dip of the toes into these books i started with this design 4 from drape drape 2 my measurements suggested i could make a size m so i did my fabric is possibly slightly less stretchy drapey than would be ideal resulting in the right sleeve thingy not hanging as gracefully as i would like but when i m not standing with arms at an angle to show this it looks fine i raised the neckline by about 5cm as i was a bit worried that it would be too low back it s cut in one piece so those stripes have been manipulated into this direction the one pattern piece looks like this it was very quick to make and is really comfy to wear today i ll wear it to work styled like this one of my glowing sky skirts and my long drapey cardy which i loooooove this cardy is divine to wear and looks great with everything when i showed georgia the t shirt yesterday after i d finished sewing it she gave it the teenage seal of approval and suggested styling it like this for work my other gs skirt her black gs shrug and my recently thrifted 8 pink boots i m in trouble the teenager has opinions speaking of the teenager i recently made a wedding dress for her intermediate school textiles food tech teacher here it is miss m is a stunning 6 ft tall brunette so the dress doesn t fit my dummy at all well bodice detail those lace straps sat perfectly on her shoulders trust me since the straps are purely decorative the dress is constructed as though it is strapless with a separate boned corsolette inside which provides all the support on her it is slightly off the floor i wish i had taken photos to show the lace borders carefully and painstakingly appliqued by hand onto the upper and lower edges of the bodice anyway georgia was in her textiles class the other day with other girls who had been at intermediate with her and they were looking at bridal magazines she casually drops into the conversation this dress looks a bit like miss m s wedding dress but the lace on the bodice comes down a bit further to which of course the response was how do you know what miss m s wedding dress looks...
