f shorts making them was pretty uneventful i followed the pattern to the letter and i don t remember encountering even the tiniest problem i cut a size 36 waistband then traced the legs from a size 36 waist to size 40 hips my hip measurements put me in the size 42 column but i thought i could get away with cutting a hip size smaller with such a loose style and i was right oh and i was afraid it would be difficult to get in and out of the shorts with such a big difference between my waist and hips but i was wrong these shorts have been worn often enough last summer and this summer but they could have been worn a lot more their only problem is their fabric it wrinkles so much i know i m supposed to embrace the wrinkles that they re part of the beauty of linen blah blah blah i just can t stand it i feel like it makes me look so sloppy this didn t stop me from wearing these otherwise very cute i love how they look like a very short skirt from certain angles and particularly comfortable shorts on very casual occasions e g knitting afternoons on a stone bench but i know i would have worn them way more often had i made them out of a cute cotton or viscose at least now i know for sure i hate linen posted in fo sewing tagged deer doe goji shorts gold linen shiny apples and pears posted on august 21 2018 by tassadit 8 so apparently i ve decided to break my own record for longest time between taking pictures of a garment and blogging said garment i took these on may 26 th close to three months ago these three months flew by between a very busy end of school year and a whole month of july in spain and when i remembered these pictures after coming back from my holiday i found them so bad that i didn t feel like publishing them then i realised that they were actually no worse than my usual pictures so here we are i even threw in a few holiday pictures at the end for good measure i sewed this dress last summer right before leaving for spain that year the pattern is the lucie dress from république du chiffon it s a very simple pattern i think i made it in one day two days tops the most time consuming part still not very time consuming was finishing the neckline and armholes with self made bias tape from the same fabric as the dress while we re on the subject of fabric i bought this one from les tissus du chien vert yeaaars ago it s a lovely apple and pear print viscose as always you can click the pictures to enlarge them and see the details which at first glance looks like the same kind of fabric as this one but is way better quality my only quibble with it is that it is quite see through this coupled to the quite low back makes it a holiday only dress i d never dare to wear it at work even on the hottest of days i made a couple small modifications to the pattern in that i added side seam pockets and lengthened the skirt pieces but not the bodice pieces by 3 cm i then added some more skirt length by sewing a 0 5 x 1 cm hem instead of the 3 x 3 cm hem of the pattern this is by far one of my most comfortable summer dresses it really feels like i m not wearing anything in a good way not in a i feel naked way it s so comfortable in fact that i wore it so much in spain last summer that i didn t even want to take it with me this year for fear of not giving my other dresses a chance to get worn look it s the perfect dress to eat arroz con leche to eat your bodyweight in churros and to pretend you re freakishly strong i mean what more could you ask for in all seriousness though i m wearing this dress on half our vacation pictures from last year so this year it stayed in belgium and i was very happy to find it when i returned during this august heatwave posted in fo sewing tagged apples dress fuchsia pink lucie dress novelty print pink république du chiffon viscose lady grey posted on april 30 2018 by tassadit 12 i took these pictures what feels like ages ago one month and a half actually right after finishing the dress you can even see the crease of the folded fabric in the back picture right below it was my first time wearing the dress and i hadn t ironed it out yet then life happened and i did not feel like writing a blog post at all for a few weeks but here i am now glad to be back and to finally talk to you about that dress i had never tried a named pattern before because they are not usually my style but as soon as i saw the lempi dress the pattern had to be mine i even already knew which fabric i would use i also bought the helmi dress on the same day and then both patterns waited for a few months in my pattern stash i have no idea why i decided to finally sew the lempi last february but i did i used the exact fabric i had in mind when i bought the pattern an unidentified grey fabric i had lying in my stash for quite a long time i m pretty sure i bought it in the sale department of les tissus du chien vert the buttons and prym eyelets came from veritas the belt buckle from this etsy shop the fabric has proved perfect for this pattern fluid and heavy it barely wrinkles even after a whole day of sitting yet it pressed beautifully when i was sewing the dress the pattern was also very nice to work with fit wise i cut size 40 shoulders and the rest in 36 and i tried a broad back adjustment for the first time maybe i should have made a broad shoulder adjustment too design wise i just omitted the shoulder tabs i should also have added and could should add a belt loop at centre back to better keep the belt in place and stop the back fabric from pooling right under the belt what attracted me to this pattern was its very sober and strict style which i played up to the caricature with this grey fabric i knew i liked the finished dress which i ve been wearing a bit tongue in cheek yet i ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of compliments i ve had about it oh and some people almost couldn t believe i had made it myself which is always nice apparently it looks very designer posted in fo sewing tagged dress grey lempi dress named clothing cherbourg dress posted on march 2 2018 by tassadit 12 this dress started with the fabric i bought it at atelier moondust during the sales and i immediately knew it would become a shirtdress unusually i also immediately sewed the shirtdress in question not all fabrics can boast such a short stay in my stash i chose the camí dress because it s the most basic in a good way shirtdress pattern i own i knew i d have to make some fitting adjustments though my first camí fits awfully at the neck and shoulders since i wasn t really sure about how to fix that i thought of comparing the pattern pieces to the one other pattern i ve sewn that has a collar with a stand the cardamome dress and then i thought why not simply blend the collar and shoulders of the cardamome pattern with the rest of the camí so that s what i did it was not the easiest to do because of the yoke of the cardamome but it did work this version fits way better than the first one it s still not perfect but it s getting there i might try a broad shoulder and or back adjustment in the future and maybe something for my sloping shoulders and shortening the back bodice too as you can tell from the pictures i didn t only make fitting adjustments i also modified the opening no more side zipper but a full button band instead of the partial one of the original it takes more time to put on or take off the dress but i m yet to get dressed or undressed in such a hurry that this poses a problem and it s also more comfortable to put on and i love the look of the full button band so much oooh speaking of the buttons aren t they lovely they are vintage and i got them at the last lille braderie i was so happy to find such a perfect use for them another change i made which you can t see in the pictures is one i had also made on my first version raising the too low pockets the only real problem of this dress is the fabric it s the cutest with its adorable umbrellas and raindrops and everything but man does it wrinkle which makes it look a bit sloppy at the end of a day s wear ah well it won t stop me from enjoying those little umbrellas posted in fo sewing tagged blue camí dress dress novelty print pauline alice patterns shirtdress olive cardigan posted on february 24 2018 by tassadit 6 this cardigan is almost one year old i finished it right before last spring which for such an autumn coloured sweater was maybe not the greatest idea i was just starting to crave pastel and other spring hues so it felt like i wouldn t want to wear that cardigan a lot but strangely i did wear it a lot and i didn t even wait for september for that i say strangely but i guess the ever fall like belgian weather must have helped quite a lot i had bought the yarn drops karisma colour 57 olive for this sweater in 2014 at my beloved local yarn shop which has since closed i had another much longer sweater in mind at the time but when i decided to knit the wainthropp cardigan i didn t want to buy any yarn unless i didn t have anything suiting it in my stash so i said goodbye to the long sweater and opted for the safest bet yet another andi satterlund sweater my eleventh if i m not mistaken i modified the button and neck bands i didn t like the garter stitch ones of the pattern so i changed them for twisted ribs matching the waistband and sleeve cuffs as usual i wrote down the details on ravelry the buttons are from my stash once again salvaged from an old garment by my mother what more can i write about this cardigan from a designer i m used to knit in a yarn i m used to no much i guess except that i ve recently realised that weirdly i have a tendency to knit cardigans in fairly dull colours it s particularly obvious when you see them all together my only bright cardigan was this one but i ve just got rid of it because it was too worn and damaged it s strange because i think of myself as someone who loves colour and is not afraid to wear bright colours even in winter yet my sweater shelf says otherwise something to keep in mind the next time i buy some yarn posted in fo knitting tagged andi satterlund cardigan drops drops karisma green lace olive green wainthropp cardigan joanna dress posted on february 17 2018 by tassadit 11 when i first saw the lliria dress pattern it was love at first sight it has everything i like in a dress the overall silhouette the sleeves the yoke the gathers i could go on and when my friend hibbis almost magically dug out not one but two 1 50 metre pieces of this lovely black and white floral viscose from a messy stand during our last visit to the stoffenspektakel i immediately saw it as the perfect fabric for my lliria and it was but man was it a pain to sew i had already sewn with viscose but never with such a shifty one and paired with the curves of the lliria dress it was an absolute nightmare the waistband in particular got so distorted that its two ends didn t match at all once sewn up i had to unpick and re sew it which was not fun at all but i think worth it in the end i also had to unpick and re sew the hem a couple of times and once more after my bike chewed up a piece of it during its first outing the flat button is inside the waistband the buttons are vintage they are the same i used on this blouse and by the same i mean five of them were stolen from said blouse they were too perfect for this dress and not that comfortable on the back of a blouse i m really happy with the fit of the finished dress i had to blend quite a few different sizes to get there size 42 for the shoulders 40 for the sleeves 38 for the sleeve cuffs 36 for the bust and waist and 42 for the skirt with a size 48 length at first but i had to chop off a few centimetres after the bike incident and i think i got back to the original 42 length it s kind of all over the place but that s what i thought would work after comparing the pattern pieces measurements to the measurements of well fitting garments and it did it s incredibly comfortable and i feel like a million bucks in it i also made a couple very small modifications to the pattern i added side seam pockets and i interfaced both facings and sleeve cuffs the only one of these changes i wouldn t replicate on a future version is interfacing the skirt facings since it takes away some of the fluidity of the skirt the rest i m happy with surprisingly i d say this is probably the most difficult pattern i ve ever sewn because of the type of fabric it requires coupled with the curved shape of some of the pieces which made it impossible for me not to distort them despite all my precautions but i m sure it would have been much easier had i not used that particularly fickle fabric or had i maybe thought to stabilise it with starch or something and the result is so worth it posted in fo sewing tagged black black and white black floral dress floral lliria dress pauline alice patterns rayon tiny floral viscose aux robes pareilles posted on february 9 2018 by tassadit 7 i don t know that my second version of such a simple pattern as the moneta deserves a blog post of its own but i really love this dress and i was wearing it when i thought about taking pictures for the blog so here goes you may remember that i had to shorten the bodice of my first moneta dress after completing it fortunately i had the presence of mind to alter the bodice pattern pieces too and contrary to what i was forced to do on the first dress since it was already cut and sewn i didn t simply cut off the bottom of the bodice pieces i shortened them properly by slashing and closing and i feel like this allows for a better fit at the waist than on the first version the waist seam is now horizontal even at the back so no need for a swayback adjustment after all what may also have contributed to this more horizontal waist seam is the fact that i used my preferred method of gathering the skirt the same as for a woven garment with three basting rows but adding clear elastic when attaching the skirt to the garment instead of the recommended one if i did alter the bodice pattern pieces i didn t think of altering the skirt pattern pieces at the time and i realised that right after having cut both skirt pieces argh i remember thinking that the length of the first dress was okay but not perfect and that on the next version i d definitely add some length to the skirt to compensate for the length i had lost at the bodice i could have kicked myself when i realised i had forgotten to do so i made a very narrow hem to get as much length as i could out of my already cut skirt pieces and i think that the length i got is more than okay but i must remember to add a couple more centimetres to the next version in order to get to my perfect skirt length 63 centimetres this one is 60 or 61 those 2 3 missing centimetres sure haven t stopped that dress from becoming one of my favourite ones aren t those cherries the cutest i had made this beloved skirt a bit more than a year ago in a lovely cotton poplin an...
