facebook share to pinterest tuesday december 30 2014 impressions this was one of those projects that kept me guessing i received the pattern from an incredibly generous lady named vivian earlier this year we met at a britex event and she mentioned that she had a stash of vintage patterns she thought i might like would i this spadea design was one of my favorites but there was nothing suitable in my fabric stash so it was put away but last week during a quick trip to joann fabrics in a last minute effort to stock the sewing room with everything i would need for a sewing filled holiday i fell in love with this fabric and decided i could handle the 2 spandex mixed in with the woven cotton because i simply could not miss out on the color and impressionistic style of the print and it was just perfect for the spadea pattern that kept popping into my head i was so excited i threw the yardage in the wash as soon as i got home followed by the dryer so i could cut right into it and then i started to doubt my choice of pattern and or fabric it looked like a muumuu not good oh the difference a belt and a petticoat can make i agree with the pattern illustration a dress like this needs a wide belt which meant that i did not have a suitable buckle option on hand and i desperately wanted to finish at least one project over the weekend so the only thing to do was make my own using the same technique i came up with for last year s gala gown and i convinced myself to continue with the dress if i ended up hating it i could always salvage the oversized pieces for something else in fact there was just enough leftovers to make a straight skirt from this pattern so that is also in the works it was a rather successful few days of vacation on the sewing front and in the end i love my new dress thank you vivian for the lovely addition to my stash of vintage goodies dress made by me lachasse of london for spadea ns 203 belt made by me petticoat made by me butterick 4792 shoes vince

top somewhere in the middle of cutting out my skirt pieces i decided that it might be possible to make a matching top from the limited amount of leftover yardage and scraps but it was going to be a really really creative cutting layout and no second chances on this one muslin time i loved the fit of vogue 4203 so i borrowed the bodice muslin pieces for this project after narrowing the fabric intake on the darts to make it less fitted i put the bodice and sleeves together to see if i liked the combination it works so there has been more hand basting around these parts this will not really be a crop top since my midriff will be covered with the wide skirt waistband but i am excited about a slightly different silhouette to add to my wardrobe my first thought was that i wanted a three quarter length sleeve but there was no way to squeeze two of them out of the wool and who knows i may end up liking this even more than my original idea posted by laura mae at 11 07 pm 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels in progress mccalls 2698 sewing vogue 4203 saturday december 27 2014 hidden details my wool skirt is coming along nicely instead of a back vent or kick pleat i decided to add a godet i am excited to see how this added bit of shape at the back turns out and then there was a whole lot of catch stitching to do being a wool pencil skirt this garment definitely needed a lining and i happened to have some bemberg rayon that is an almost perfect color match to the wool which was quite handy the waistband is boned to help keep its shape i normally do my best to avoid plastic boning but when it is only two inches long and will not extend past the waistline it works and i have some stashed away so i might as well use it right then there was some more hand stitching until all the pieces were put together next the bulk was graded at the waist seam the skirt still requires a hem but that is for another day posted by laura mae at 1 53 am 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels in progress mccalls 2698 sewing monday december 22 2014 hidden treasure while rifling through my yarn stash i found this sweater not quite complete but almost the knitting is less than stellar and the wool not of excellent quality perhaps that is why i abandoned it so close to being finished i decided to wash the thing to see if it would even out some of the imperfections that did work for the most part it was then i noticed other issues with the garment how did i manage to knit two separate cuff lengths what an annoying mistake to make oh well things can t always go smoothly but i really must do something about that ribbing that is the part of a sweater i actually see and it will drive me crazy posted by laura mae at 8 36 pm 17 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 1940s in progress knitting saturday december 20 2014 an old favorite i have used mccalls 2698 as a skirt pattern so many times the tissue is starting to show real signs of wear mostly along the dart legs now seemed like a good time to get the pattern on muslin so here i am making a muslin version of a garment that is rather unnecessary i already know how it fits and where i need to make adjustments go figure right but it is more practice with a new to me technique which is always good also since the silhouette is fitted and will be made of wool adding silk organza to the back pieces as an underlining seemed like a good idea so it was logical to go the traced route for the entire project and underline the whole darn thing the seam allowances were removed from the tissue and the new markings traced onto muslin adding extra wide seam allowances along the edges i am really starting to appreciate those patterns that eliminate seam allowances from the start and then came the fabric i purchased this wool from mood last year it is lighter weight than i was expecting but most of my online purchases are something of a surprise once i get them in my hands after digging around in the zipper drawer i even managed to find a coordinating zip and of course i had some silk organza laying around so this is a garment made entirely of stashed items including the thread that almost never happens it feels really nice to get back to some hand sewing even if it is only a bit of messy basting i feel some time consuming beading coming on or perhaps i should just try to finish this skirt posted by laura mae at 10 14 pm 9 comments email this blogthis share to x
