itable lining on hand so i went to joann fabrics of course their stock of rayon lining is extremely limited they were out of black so i picked up a cranberry red color and it turned out to be a lovely contrast it would seem that my fear of machine made buttonholes is alive and well so add another 12 bound buttonholes to the tally they really look nice on the front of the skirt with my contrasting pink buttons i am quite certain that this pattern is going to get a whole lot of use in the near future the options are endless thank you colette patterns skirt made by me colette beignet blouse

wednesday july 25 2012 modern vogue if i am being completely honest the recent pattern catalogues have been a bit of a disappointment for me but what a relief vogue 1317 although there are only a few designs that have caught my eye i am pleased that the stash will not be increasing exponentially not to mention the guilt over the hoards of patterns that are screaming for a little attention of their own as i type this post vogue 1324 the new fall vogue collection is out and the photography while interesting distracts from the actual design of the garments vogue 1314 i mean really what the heck is this quick describe the garment to me yeah good luck with that the shoes really are fantastic though thankfully there are some helpful line drawings or no one would be able to tell what the dress actually looks like vogue 1316 there are some very interesting modern looks and perhaps i will brave something out of my comfort zone when the season changes the model looks like a modern version of a hitchcock heroine the only thing missing is a few birds hovering nearby vogue 1321 love the shawl collar on this coat but i am not sure if all of that topstitching works for me and look she is already ducking to avoid those winged killers in her super chic coat surprise surprise donna karan continues to amaze vogue 1322 the cape meets the blazer seeing as i am discovering a new obsession with the 1930s the ultimate era for the cape this may be just the ticket vogue 8827 but where oh where are my beloved vintage vogues vogue 8825 so while it is a tad anticlimactic to see the new collection my wallet will be pleased what are your favorites do you love the super modern look or will you grieve over the lack of vintage reproductions posted by laura mae at 11 38 pm 13 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels inspiration vogue sunday july 22 2012 rayon silk substitute or fabulous fiber sears roebuck catalog spring 1940 i have had a couple of questions about my rayon pre treating methods so i though i would write about my experience with the fiber the quick answer is that i pre wash just about every length of fabric before cutting into it either in the machine or by hand and i always hand wash the items that i sew take a quick peek in my closet and it is clear that i am a huge fan of rayon i understand that it is a synthesized fabric but as it is made from plant material i consider it to be a natural fiber as i am no chemist i am not going to get into any definitions of what constitutes a natural versus synthetic fabrics i just know that i love rayon and hate polyester sears roebuck catalog fall 1932 rayon or artificial silk breathes well and drapes beautifully making it perfect for reproduction vintage i also consider it easier to work with and care for than silk but that is just me i should start by saying that i have inherited a dislike of dry cleaning from my mother does anyone know what those chemicals really do because of this and the exorbitant price i hand wash the majority of my clothing and 100 of the clothing that i sew myself crazy perhaps but i am certainly not going to leave a dress that i spend hours constructing to the mercy of a machine at the moment i am using eucalan advertised as a no rinse delicate wash although i do rinse it out but in the past i have had excellent results with a liquid dish soap like joy sears roebuck catalog spring 1933 i had a couple of unfortunate experiences with purchased rayon dresses but did learn a little something rayon is super wonky yes that s a technical term when wet i would hand wash a long bias cut dress with a dry clean only label and leave it to drip dry when wet the dress shrunk up to be about 10 too short and 10 too wide to redeem the garment i would gently tug on the wet fabric to try to get it back to its original shape sears roebuck catalog spring 1940 rayon is often referred to as unstable when wet and boy is that true it also becomes very fragile once i even managed to tear the fabric with my thumb while pulling on it it turns out i should have left the thing to dry at its own pace it took me longer to realize this than i care to admit but nine times out of ten as the fabric dries it will regain its original shape sear roebuck catalog spring 1940 the best advice that i can offer is to leave those dresses alone while drip drying if the dress is purchased there is not a lot you can to do guarantee that something weird is not going to happen you can always go the dry cleaning route as suggested by the care instructions but for me personally i am not going to spend almost as much money to clean it as the darn thing originally cost me now if i ever come across a 1940s evening gown or vintage 1950s dior or lilli ann suit from a thrift or antique store i would obviously make an exception sears roebuck catalog fall 1932 i moved a couple of years ago and now have a front loading machine whoo hoo my standard operating procedure these days is to pre wash my yardage including rayon on the delicate cycle in the machine and throw it in the dryer until it is damp at which point i iron out any wrinkles if something is extra special i will hand wash the yardage in the sink and let it drip dry sears roebuck catalog fall 1926 the idea is to be as hard on the material as i ever will be because i am going to hand wash the finished product it should be perfectly safe since it has already been through a machine cycle sears roebuck catalog spring 1946 sorry this post turned out to be so long but hopefully it answers some of those questions sears roebuck catalog spring 1933 does anyone else have any rayon suggestions i would love to hear your experiences posted by laura mae at 6 22 pm 28 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels inspiration sears roebuck catalog saturday july 21 2012 daisy chain this is another pattern that comes from mr lappin s stash so of course i was already in love with it before i pulled the tissue out of the envelope the rayon daisy print was purchased from fabric com it reminded me of the 1930s and the turquoise color was lovely so i grabbed it when i saw hollywood 1647 i thought they would make a great pair and i finally found a use for one of my lace collars believe it or not i picked these up from joann fabrics of all places quite a few years ago they marked all of their decent trims on clearance and i purchased all that i could find before they disappeared forever they have been living in a drawer for years the lace trimmed collar on the pattern illustration reminded me of their existence so i decided that a surface applied lace collar might work nicely the problem was that the collar was extremely bright white and my fabric was not to remedy the problem i decided to try a bit of tea dying i used a couple of lipton black tea bags and dunked the collar pieces for a minute or two it worked quite nicely i tacked the lace to the collar pieces by hand with some silk thread the pattern does not call for interfacing which i suppose is quite normal for a 1930s pattern i ended up using some cotton as a sew in stabilizer for the collar and cuffs but i really was stumped when it came to the front opening the rayon drapes beautifully and is rather lightweight i was worried that the buttonholes mine are bound and the buttons needed to be stabilized in some way but a sew in on the entire front piece seemed like it would be too much i came to the decision that a thin strip of lightweight fusible although inauthentic would work nicely i had no desire to re space all of those buttonholes so i did not make my standard adjustment for a long torso the dress is a bit high waisted but it works finding fourteen buttons that i liked with this fabric was quite an adventure and one of the reasons that this dress took so long to complete i also decided to use the 3 hem allowance given to make the dress a bit more tea length than knee length i cannot find a reference to this pattern anywhere does anyone else have this lovely dress pattern in their collection my button selection was not my first choice and i was concerned that the dark contrast was going to be distracting so i decided to make a fascinator with the leftover shell buttons i crocheted a triangle shaped border expecting to sew two of the patterns together to make a diamond which would have a sprinkling of buttons applied well the flat diamond shape looked terrible and the button placement did not look right so i pulled two corners together to give the piece a bit of shape and i rather like how it turned out dress belt made by me hollywood 1647 shoes banana republic fascinator made by me
