The type where you choose the project and what things you want to focus on learning. In Sarah Veblen’s workshops this does not mean you are just “sewing”. Time is spent learning from the other participants and working on taking another step on the journey of exploration of design and construction. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk072jGf2iyhMfYLf7Pgst3VxDbgrpUUTw96uFS_7ljAD2GAfWGpP0WtSAOzsv7_ciAQouUElynCdDRoJLwo2iwoF-QnHqP02EeWQTGWmOj2QY29LOfx-GFme5nubc3wM2-8qx1tWeoZZuN80b0PSsUfHE5FJjN3jgg4HzgfnvkY-R_uGl-QCB_1BN/s1440/6993523F-223F-40C9-963E-CCB6D977E896.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk072jGf2iyhMfYLf7Pgst3VxDbgrpUUTw96uFS_7ljAD2GAfWGpP0WtSAOzsv7_ciAQouUElynCdDRoJLwo2iwoF-QnHqP02EeWQTGWmOj2QY29LOfx-GFme5nubc3wM2-8qx1tWeoZZuN80b0PSsUfHE5FJjN3jgg4HzgfnvkY-R_uGl-QCB_1BN/w400-h300/6993523F-223F-40C9-963E-CCB6D977E896.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">This particular workshop was 3 days long and i knew exactly what I wanted to work on! In the fall and winter I worked on perfecting the fit of a new French jacket pattern. Sadly I have given away all but one of my collection of French jackets and I was finally feeling like I had enough of a wardrobe built up that I could take the time needed to complete a new jacket. This time I really wanted to incorporate this beautiful butterfly guipure lace. I had everything I needed!! This spring workshop with Sarah was just what I needed to get my butt in gear to make the jacket. I knew what parts I could easily do by myself and then there were parts that I would have either had to do some research in books and the web OR I could bring them to Sarah.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4mKg-0lvqJM5sBZV_eog8t3dlntSa9ii5il6fADs7jbUDXAeXt6Vvnaj6cAsp7T4REh0T7QdqgtUPLYOYP92vroy2rMU0QFfk7VDcKohwCY4iNi24wuR4IteKmoc6XaLpfrUopmdilB3t0cXBlwXaRXohphT-LW8ac-DGKq4SUo1izPMU8sbhKFct/s4032/DD88F691-66C4-4BFD-8BDF-F5E3499ABCBE.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4mKg-0lvqJM5sBZV_eog8t3dlntSa9ii5il6fADs7jbUDXAeXt6Vvnaj6cAsp7T4REh0T7QdqgtUPLYOYP92vroy2rMU0QFfk7VDcKohwCY4iNi24wuR4IteKmoc6XaLpfrUopmdilB3t0cXBlwXaRXohphT-LW8ac-DGKq4SUo1izPMU8sbhKFct/w300-h400/DD88F691-66C4-4BFD-8BDF-F5E3499ABCBE.jpeg" width="300" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">I had some questions on the sleeve cuff. Actually lots and lots of questions! Of course many of the questions I had were around the best and correct way to execute the sleeve cuff. As expected there is no right or wrong way and it all depends on the design you want and how you want to execute… designers choice! It was really good to have a nice conversation with a sewing professional and several other experienced makers to play off ideas and pros and cons and just to share information. I find it always to be very inspiring and much less boring than just picking a pattern and following those directions! (Although there are times when just following a pattern is so nice and easy!)</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NM7M8viJvNa840KxnIY-oDGRL1GcdNhWPh5DTHKUGoi2BBS0jwMHYjiSGAjl0Tpob47bgnJt32RYJEVrUOXTsbJrU1SfWxvVKBqnCODJMzve4MxPwV0k_QrnzkQE3h8m8gold-S0Xk3TWFyYu8Eq_JEI4sbqALAzLod2iVeasc0vGqYhKfcg51ci/s4032/CF7AD511-A26F-476B-8B68-AB458DBA159C.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NM7M8viJvNa840KxnIY-oDGRL1GcdNhWPh5DTHKUGoi2BBS0jwMHYjiSGAjl0Tpob47bgnJt32RYJEVrUOXTsbJrU1SfWxvVKBqnCODJMzve4MxPwV0k_QrnzkQE3h8m8gold-S0Xk3TWFyYu8Eq_JEI4sbqALAzLod2iVeasc0vGqYhKfcg51ci/w300-h400/CF7AD511-A26F-476B-8B68-AB458DBA159C.jpeg" width="300" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">Discussions were had around how to construct the sleeve cuff, how to sew on the butterfly lace and then to design where to put the butterflies. We also assessed different traditional French jacket trims and buttons as well. Turns out after spending a lot of time pinning and repinning that the trims, all the trims I brought, were just too heavy and then everything looked too forced and stuck on. So much better without the trim!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">I also worked on two muslins, one a straight skirt. Just a front and a back, Sarah draped in the front and back darts and perfected the fit. I later used this pattern to make a straight denim style skirt and was very happy with the fit!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">The other muslin was for Vogue 9187 an armsyce princess seam shell. That muslin is still hanging in my sewing area waiting for all the changes to translated onto the pattern and a new muslin made. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpVHLwjSVa8SmLza0DKRXye7vaZ2s24lFCOzOnOpr00I8tC--Z2CMZuZp0-aCkTfwK9voUUts4W1CSqwcZlA6GtBPXdomVTLuVQ4RNP-aZK_1ePUFkoCgYdZiuEy0L0Ksrq4RSM4ZG-qaVMRNJtV-H26diGub3C8dRGb75KVUBQaQ42qfZhibatOFA/s4032/D49A4215-BF60-45CF-9140-5240BDBA95E4.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpVHLwjSVa8SmLza0DKRXye7vaZ2s24lFCOzOnOpr00I8tC--Z2CMZuZp0-aCkTfwK9voUUts4W1CSqwcZlA6GtBPXdomVTLuVQ4RNP-aZK_1ePUFkoCgYdZiuEy0L0Ksrq4RSM4ZG-qaVMRNJtV-H26diGub3C8dRGb75KVUBQaQ42qfZhibatOFA/w400-h300/D49A4215-BF60-45CF-9140-5240BDBA95E4.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">I think once the shell is perfected then I really only have 2 more master patterns to work on.

Starting with the neckline shape and I also added welt pockets, a collar, facings, drafted a lining pattern with a pleat in back lining and an internal zippered welt pocket. Plus the obvious addition of the strapping or belting at the waist as a “belt” plus as the welts on the front pockets and as a detail on the sleeves.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Fabrics: The fabrics are from a variety of places and all from my collection. The blue wool was from Michaels fabrics in Baltimore. I washed it with Eucelan and dried it on the wool setting it the dryer. This gave it a lovely texture! It was perfectly lovely before washing but now I really love it! The lining is a silk charmeuse that I purchased in Paris. </span><span style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: large;">The pocketing fabric is a remnant of a very fine light blue shirting fabric with a nice tight weave.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTSL9ap3PHiIyAsGOADnJTilKWxnaxcne6INHkt7nmqfh6eyoRgQIKyNgf27Du9BxD8t-SvXE3A-gupmwBuIrVRLjTFRMFAby6MC6kC_3pPvRhR5lu0FKd92VpaSEPZIwi-5BLiIX_rXFjVK3-WimElSkPG5BE9jf3E0qP3P8xf970dIL3A9f9xfDT/s4032/6122FC35-59D0-465E-9794-C897C96706CA.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTSL9ap3PHiIyAsGOADnJTilKWxnaxcne6INHkt7nmqfh6eyoRgQIKyNgf27Du9BxD8t-SvXE3A-gupmwBuIrVRLjTFRMFAby6MC6kC_3pPvRhR5lu0FKd92VpaSEPZIwi-5BLiIX_rXFjVK3-WimElSkPG5BE9jf3E0qP3P8xf970dIL3A9f9xfDT/w300-h400/6122FC35-59D0-465E-9794-C897C96706CA.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZNJCOD9ds8dy4sjlQHkXSYgSbxWmpyj7QVPZoQlZpa98ur8lk27oTzI1abAZSD9GT98HGfVo_cFySjzsIX85E34z7gxpr-i2xGmJ1-zHnqRhSFo3vIXsKCfkwSoiW6feVmxpUEy5m3RtjxD8U9TN3VUP6AVzrUcq-dMy3rP1eEQN81xSr-AMTlCjg/s4032/761C1754-D0E2-44D0-AF1A-3C992CAB3B4B.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZNJCOD9ds8dy4sjlQHkXSYgSbxWmpyj7QVPZoQlZpa98ur8lk27oTzI1abAZSD9GT98HGfVo_cFySjzsIX85E34z7gxpr-i2xGmJ1-zHnqRhSFo3vIXsKCfkwSoiW6feVmxpUEy5m3RtjxD8U9TN3VUP6AVzrUcq-dMy3rP1eEQN81xSr-AMTlCjg/w300-h400/761C1754-D0E2-44D0-AF1A-3C992CAB3B4B.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Interfacing: I went well out of my wheel house on this jacket!! Normally I will underline if needed with an organza or cotton batiste on my jackets. However, this time I went with speed and fused the entire jacket. I used a light weight weft interfacing from EmmaOneSock. I did do a test first to feel the hand and see if the fusing would alter the hand or the look of the fashion fabric and it did not. So, I just went with it! Speed tailoring!! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Notions: One of my favorite parts of this jacket are the buttons. They are designed and made by an artist, Jennifer Torres. They were a gift to me a couple years ago and they fit this project perfectly! There are 2 styles/sizes. The large ones on the front and the smaller, squarer ones on the sleeve cuffs.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-EWz4abMbDdl88Fdu2wmQqb32Zeoy1wGlEk9lZHu5NQb47KIr49xkl0mgm6g0KZt-oGkI2xM4T4PGch-CSQ53ri9K7X26_mzLBxa6pgw5i7CRj3OC9O4MjZ4f06pytemupQ6LfGtWUbpxb3kL6_2UO9EJx6rbLTFhlrQoubQXeeTGyvXeYflb6iWG/s4032/6ED215D7-401C-44AC-B3F3-58A1DDD5A77E.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-EWz4abMbDdl88Fdu2wmQqb32Zeoy1wGlEk9lZHu5NQb47KIr49xkl0mgm6g0KZt-oGkI2xM4T4PGch-CSQ53ri9K7X26_mzLBxa6pgw5i7CRj3OC9O4MjZ4f06pytemupQ6LfGtWUbpxb3kL6_2UO9EJx6rbLTFhlrQoubQXeeTGyvXeYflb6iWG/w300-h400/6ED215D7-401C-44AC-B3F3-58A1DDD5A77E.jpeg" width="300" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">I also used this cotton strapping/webbing that I picked up from the Textile discount warehouse for 50c. Well technically $1.50 because I purchased 3 of them. Each “baggie” had about 2 yards of the webbing with finished ends. Must have been dead stock from some project somewhere in the world! I loved the colors and the width and it really made my vision come to life. I really had to think about the construction order carefully as I knew I wanted this faux belt to be sewn on around the jacket but loose at the front where it crossed over.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybm_E7_RfwOG4p5Gt5_3naRAVL1GR0M7rVsc_pQMEN6dZyaVhwu5xueu7SkZaTPlsYnaWjkYlWAboRzQzqqUPFbJvHYfAIw8OKQnmnB9_njp9YgU2uYMEMFP9tp-PCZOdG-wnG8gpU2T88Dgm8fyp-IIAkjgurtS1jGUhfFE4VmiqY-tjM0J8xwmE/s4032/8CC9FD7A-ABF3-4D8C-B173-1E7A20FB0BF8.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybm_E7_RfwOG4p5Gt5_3naRAVL1GR0M7rVsc_pQMEN6dZyaVhwu5xueu7SkZaTPlsYnaWjkYlWAboRzQzqqUPFbJvHYfAIw8OKQnmnB9_njp9YgU2uYMEMFP9tp-PCZOdG-wnG8gpU2T88Dgm8fyp-IIAkjgurtS1jGUhfFE4VmiqY-tjM0J8xwmE/w400-h300/8CC9FD7A-ABF3-4D8C-B173-1E7A20FB0BF8.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Construction notes: I made a very large test portion of the lower front jacket, this was in addition to the fit muslins.

I really enjoy making tests such as these when I am designing a garment from scratch that has unique details. It really lets me perfect the details and learn all the pitfalls before I start. FOr example, I learned that the webbing frays like crazy if you cut into the sides of it so I had to construct the welts in a way that had no trimming. I learned that I needed to make the buttonhole on the webbing bigger than the others because there was less give in it than just on the fashion fabric. I was also able to perfect the placement of the pockets in relationship to the belting and work out the best angle.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFcnGQ7wO2OXP-Dfj_drnM2f8RrvPqJykhCgCiDqJd1EEa5gQPCXpJ0MwyFvpA_kILJesujAAcjWreb_2xy2VKsrWI1droZ1EYmOVeuv4GJZx8D8EZCF6FYlfbAP1B3GXP_Kf4FeUvQZIHrBNlUVMOw7SUcxeCLCcnRf42yaFNoKK9GesfxxBQosBU/s2037/320C17FC-F812-4EDD-BB8C-73ECB337E8EC.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2037" data-original-width="1528" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFcnGQ7wO2OXP-Dfj_drnM2f8RrvPqJykhCgCiDqJd1EEa5gQPCXpJ0MwyFvpA_kILJesujAAcjWreb_2xy2VKsrWI1droZ1EYmOVeuv4GJZx8D8EZCF6FYlfbAP1B3GXP_Kf4FeUvQZIHrBNlUVMOw7SUcxeCLCcnRf42yaFNoKK9GesfxxBQosBU/w300-h400/320C17FC-F812-4EDD-BB8C-73ECB337E8EC.jpeg" width="300" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Having done the tests I was so much more confident in installing the front webbing welt pockets and cutting into the fashion fabric.

Loving it!!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">This t-shirt has gone through a ton of iterations over the last year. From making it almost 6 inches smaller in circumference, to tweaking the bust dart placement, the slope of the shoulders and now the sleeves, oh and the length as well. SO many tweaks and now I finally feel like I have it in the perfect place!!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">I wanted it in the perfect place before i used my seriously expensive washable wool green jersey knit! I love this knit and i love wearing wool knit. It just keeps you so comfy and just seems to regulate the temp perfectly, never seem to get too hot or too cold.

With the all the body parts of the tee perfected the last thing i had to work on was the sleeves. To be perfectly honest I could have kept them as is and no one would have noticed.

Basically, I use a small piece of fusible stabilizer/interfacing at the ‘V’. Stay stitch at a 1.6 mm length for about 3/8 of an inch on either side of the V and pivoting exactly at the V. Then I clip to the point. (The clipping part is always a little scary)</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUpp-jddGao_WGFRCxhFELGgwJG2GcFRBpFRH3_tx3qh9irMGoTXGajSNdiQnyviLNjffPJkWZy3BI97u0X-4SGbzupeBJwKAoY07ZpgUaGLWNEzoMQTJz-jbrK8FEYr6Ps6r6MubkmJI6ixbLSvaB1a9qr17bP3qDiDACaK_hEL2WWUjzxqjn4CrT=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUpp-jddGao_WGFRCxhFELGgwJG2GcFRBpFRH3_tx3qh9irMGoTXGajSNdiQnyviLNjffPJkWZy3BI97u0X-4SGbzupeBJwKAoY07ZpgUaGLWNEzoMQTJz-jbrK8FEYr6Ps6r6MubkmJI6ixbLSvaB1a9qr17bP3qDiDACaK_hEL2WWUjzxqjn4CrT=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">For the band itself I cut a crosswise strip 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch wide, depending on how wide I want the finished band to be, press this wrong sides together. I then take this band and place it against the right side of my neckline and serge it on. While serging, I every so slightly stretch the band so that it has a snug fit, Making sure to fold the opposite side of the neckline away from the serger knife and needles. When I get back to the V i very carefully stop serging just prior to the start part. I then lay the end of the band under the start of the band and finish it up on the sewing machine. I press the seam towards the body of the tee and then top stitch with a narrow zig zag or use the cover stitch to go around the neckline.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Comes out great everytime!

This is the kind of ribbing that is 20 inches wide but in a tube and i had a remnant piece left over from another project. I had just enough to complete this project! I have no idea where I purchased this ribbing… or when. I think, maybe, on Etsy. Nope just checked my history there so, somewhere else online at some point in time! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Just like in the last one I interfaced the pocket openings and the shoulder seams only.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Constructions was done mostly on the serger, except for attaching the pocket and the shoulder seams.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Hems were done with the ribbing bands which makes it so nice and easy. One thing to note, with the ribbing I did not use the recommended lengths from the pattern instructions. The ribbing is like crazy stretchy almost 75% so I started with subtracting 25% off the length and then pinned it on place on the garment and made it even shorter after that. The waist band ended up being almost 8 inches shorter than the length I used on the previous top!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOrWXql_fVR28RO5H9eyVIeLky04xYdLXV9_RBP2J1COKhZhPwrH8BGHoS6UdKo-qzvSEp92vRGi4pNOsD1SQZbqkF6ks_5ETqPUNNexvPcY9z-aVFi7GFYMhDDGLlM4vqQ2zrEytDXxw-szqgxPVuv3sstYSIoqtgRZj0lZh_qHGj4nqsO_362Bhi=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOrWXql_fVR28RO5H9eyVIeLky04xYdLXV9_RBP2J1COKhZhPwrH8BGHoS6UdKo-qzvSEp92vRGi4pNOsD1SQZbqkF6ks_5ETqPUNNexvPcY9z-aVFi7GFYMhDDGLlM4vqQ2zrEytDXxw-szqgxPVuv3sstYSIoqtgRZj0lZh_qHGj4nqsO_362Bhi=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Totally worth taking the time otherwise the ribbing would be all wavy and look funny and then I would have been very disappointed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">This version of the Plateau joggers was made with black ponte knit from my stash. A much more stable knit then the soft French terry in the previous pair. Due to the more stable knit you can certainly see where my fitting flaws are, particularly in the back!

I may or may not play around with shifting the calf back. I have tried many things over the years and have found that I either need to make my pants wide legged so they hang from my butt down straight and skim the calves, make bell bottoms so there is no pull from the calves or make the pants super tight, like leggings, so there is no place for wrinkles.

The 2 biggest changes were to lower the underarm 3/8 inch with a little tweak to the back armhole shape and adding about 3/8 inch across the width in the back at the level of mid armhole. I did this because on the first ones my bra strap was peeking out and i just needed a smidge more fabric. </span><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro;">I like that the neckline and armholes are finished with a band.

I think it looks very intentional and could be fun for a color blocked version or maybe make that top part out of a fun mesh knit.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">The Tee shirt is my self drafted tee with a boat neck that I drafted after taking a zoom class with Sarah Veblen.

Something soft and lovely against my skin as we just keep enduring this never ending time of being extra careful just gives me some extra good feels.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqn9T5LGbzZLo15T66LvYOhNb67igVU68FqNZRJDwQBD7CvU7rv-DZ5t44Oeea-4ZM1gjwvyaRTILIpv9Uz4joAtXpoyiSvoZGEbIkWdKksdrLEJ-kj7ai4RBghOUYNoFPx90m04P-ErdzV60aJRADiYdOlF7ZWWvkCC8jzCXpQ6zzA_8TnodGryJR=s2756" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2756" data-original-width="1654" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqn9T5LGbzZLo15T66LvYOhNb67igVU68FqNZRJDwQBD7CvU7rv-DZ5t44Oeea-4ZM1gjwvyaRTILIpv9Uz4joAtXpoyiSvoZGEbIkWdKksdrLEJ-kj7ai4RBghOUYNoFPx90m04P-ErdzV60aJRADiYdOlF7ZWWvkCC8jzCXpQ6zzA_8TnodGryJR=w240-h400" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">I made 4 garments:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Closet Core Plateau jogger, View A with the elasticized hem.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjmir3oSGkcZ8-kn4R49AMR5_8JB08kD_Cvj4J0BhwasGWdtoXLVEOsZikXuZsxKTvTjNUBGlq8vhHq_fXo2YWnapEGarANf-xiXpJerfEZOwYHyJ4gxLahFN8ICJnwCy5uZqPrrh2GpifMau0t1MUk2DxA48LfS75eZ2bqcMTwFfjlli_nNt6qLhHM=s2758" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2758" data-original-width="1655" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjmir3oSGkcZ8-kn4R49AMR5_8JB08kD_Cvj4J0BhwasGWdtoXLVEOsZikXuZsxKTvTjNUBGlq8vhHq_fXo2YWnapEGarANf-xiXpJerfEZOwYHyJ4gxLahFN8ICJnwCy5uZqPrrh2GpifMau0t1MUk2DxA48LfS75eZ2bqcMTwFfjlli_nNt6qLhHM=w240-h400" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Closet Core Mile End Sweatshirt, View C the hoodie.</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjIrA-NyjZVX8GrGYsUpKwZ1ZnBFKrpJIed_MOpJwGxq_dQrr7QtqAYc3tcrCAtKqvRkmS0z_7fIIb76Z1O_GTc_9CDiXpBLyxU2N__1-2uGRv_IybPc8f_LnkCdZPPLJnI-cwbmUXH88gY3-aVN8SNjCDr6O9eEg58U9XJm1_wH_x8DyLMpsLvGxo6=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjIrA-NyjZVX8GrGYsUpKwZ1ZnBFKrpJIed_MOpJwGxq_dQrr7QtqAYc3tcrCAtKqvRkmS0z_7fIIb76Z1O_GTc_9CDiXpBLyxU2N__1-2uGRv_IybPc8f_LnkCdZPPLJnI-cwbmUXH88gY3-aVN8SNjCDr6O9eEg58U9XJm1_wH_x8DyLMpsLvGxo6=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgKFEDl_eEtlh_K4zZsK1v7RcPfXGrU3reOyZ5d_0NGTHez1AbFZUjFaut-t4sMzDECjf41376JpK-8mcEvoFKMC9bAAG102E7LMT5qxdCf-Isn1PWbMUeGD2t7hfqEIE9JhGRpj8fKffp6lPvFbTeRYKaLrtPppikfO0LOcHqL9Wr2gXMFPAWZwHmw=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgKFEDl_eEtlh_K4zZsK1v7RcPfXGrU3reOyZ5d_0NGTHez1AbFZUjFaut-t4sMzDECjf41376JpK-8mcEvoFKMC9bAAG102E7LMT5qxdCf-Isn1PWbMUeGD2t7hfqEIE9JhGRpj8fKffp6lPvFbTeRYKaLrtPppikfO0LOcHqL9Wr2gXMFPAWZwHmw=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Jen Stern’s Easy fit and sew tank top (my TNT tank top pattern)</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Self Drafted boat neck top- design inspired from a Sarah Veblen zoom class on developing a boat neck neckline.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">I’ll talk about the Closet Core Patterns in this first installment . I must say that I am a bit of a fan of Closet Core patterns. I find them to be very interesting, with well thought out details, great seam lines and always some part has a different way of construction. It’s kind of like sewing with a pattern that goes “what if” we did it this or that way instead of the way 99% of the other patterns say to do it. Heather Lou owner of Closet Core Patterns is a really great person, also quite interesting! Just like her patterns.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWiRsA5IgwnsJhtYL6oixHZuWNxpGkREcv3tBaSQz0biPgeRRRFLx8QdS4c2BgZiMbJSBemQewC-rOFHyGhX-wrnRuiPaGbH93ZGp5y_atYw3HtJwZnL_9LwZscl8wKpUo1fNvfy6hI0wKLjoO1B3An3EuHtIq6-VwcG7yfWTASlkvuDtpjBU2xd9t=s2715" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2715" data-original-width="1629" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWiRsA5IgwnsJhtYL6oixHZuWNxpGkREcv3tBaSQz0biPgeRRRFLx8QdS4c2BgZiMbJSBemQewC-rOFHyGhX-wrnRuiPaGbH93ZGp5y_atYw3HtJwZnL_9LwZscl8wKpUo1fNvfy6hI0wKLjoO1B3An3EuHtIq6-VwcG7yfWTASlkvuDtpjBU2xd9t=w240-h400" width="240" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">I made no fit changes to the joggers. I cut the size indicated by my measurements and the fit was spot on in the French terry I used. I plan to make another pair in a ponte and see how those fit with just adding a little length at the hem line.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">For the hoodie, I cut a size smaller than my measurements indicated. This decision came from comparing the size measurement chart and the finished garment chart. This design has a generous amount of ease. It is a super fun and updated fit with a boxy design and slightly cropped length.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgrRqgawtVokvlobxez9mrdOpL7FHUbssGIYqrNG1mVi6KaScegasKQTIGb9KWqHUMeNX12vK0KED4izXo_qELxLkRPZwzAvTKMPv8LWwIqDMn5uPE2e0EMLkomxpS2Kl5xNUqI-tl5Xlv_4kjlds-_Z79VL5BPIagsC58olU3TfUg2HJu4S_Qs5O-l=s1606" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1606" data-original-width="1204" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgrRqgawtVokvlobxez9mrdOpL7FHUbssGIYqrNG1mVi6KaScegasKQTIGb9KWqHUMeNX12vK0KED4izXo_qELxLkRPZwzAvTKMPv8LWwIqDMn5uPE2e0EMLkomxpS2Kl5xNUqI-tl5Xlv_4kjlds-_Z79VL5BPIagsC58olU3TfUg2HJu4S_Qs5O-l=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">The designs of these garments are fun and i did not make any changes in design, no need too! The hoodie features a side seam that wraps from the underarm around to the front and the sleeves are 2 piece with the front inner sleeve having dual elbow darts and a dropped shoulder. The front cross over piece has an interesting construction method that I was initially thinking was weird and unconventional. Once made I really appreciated it. The only place you have multiple layers of fabric from the crossover is above the pocket! Definitely not the type of construction that you would see in RTW.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDUZ_mnL23sgyVAFp1EMDO_1uTdf-b8ORq7PZHNeaKstN3AVGfzQWz6bfYLUhkLPz0glG093zoscZC7ZWIuSsW2_lEcsrA756vMOzHb6ylmZzT7clgqn7XSgf66uSrxgMwUOFW-v7W68qXCgrMNALKiSrPGaL267qJ6QKjtmIxzDqXA-8nMRCzs1Qn=s1932" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1380" data-original-width="1932" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDUZ_mnL23sgyVAFp1EMDO_1uTdf-b8ORq7PZHNeaKstN3AVGfzQWz6bfYLUhkLPz0glG093zoscZC7ZWIuSsW2_lEcsrA756vMOzHb6ylmZzT7clgqn7XSgf66uSrxgMwUOFW-v7W68qXCgrMNALKiSrPGaL267qJ6QKjtmIxzDqXA-8nMRCzs1Qn=w400-h286" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjdj6PnRlHk2QtE2I1FLhQLjVa8cem0wrnru7RBy7NC70iVz5YzpUXR-Bj3pG6kuIW32mOhPfjbVGzlFC_KeYEz33uXIUwHscDuWm7AHxGMv4hfWWL56h9-Emucd6OA2XhYNJVzYLVGKxnFXRS2r2HP00WQN2CUkgwTxAzbhR4MAbCXWqrXmSWY7xLy=s1932" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1380" data-original-width="1932" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjdj6PnRlHk2QtE2I1FLhQLjVa8cem0wrnru7RBy7NC70iVz5YzpUXR-Bj3pG6kuIW32mOhPfjbVGzlFC_KeYEz33uXIUwHscDuWm7AHxGMv4hfWWL56h9-Emucd6OA2XhYNJVzYLVGKxnFXRS2r2HP00WQN2CUkgwTxAzbhR4MAbCXWqrXmSWY7xLy=w400-h286" width="400" /></a></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">The joggers have an interesting pocket construction that makes for a nice smooth side seam. The pockets wrap around and the back wraps around to form the pocket facing area. Making for very little bulk, a strange looking pattern piece and interesting construction that you need to pay attention to, but very little bulk! Which I appreciate since that is where I carry my extra bulk :)</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1IC3emA3uK2f8tE_MT9mkEXt6JNbZ8Rtl5VEoIKQSn_gGU1YjwKhV1tztv7lSZ3avwoJMYALV0jViqVaYaTe9pxLDmEOVjOQQKfEVAfvMqRzE1u3QGsfzO21e-Z98y3_G2s-jn95c5RfXAV-rVeX3yE4nx6EremraLIDqf7wiXwbGQQfZ8EJQCBQr=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1IC3emA3uK2f8tE_MT9mkEXt6JNbZ8Rtl5VEoIKQSn_gGU1YjwKhV1tztv7lSZ3avwoJMYALV0jViqVaYaTe9pxLDmEOVjOQQKfEVAfvMqRzE1u3QGsfzO21e-Z98y3_G2s-jn95c5RfXAV-rVeX3yE4nx6EremraLIDqf7wiXwbGQQfZ8EJQCBQr=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi4eenENPep2Gts8emhzCPGh0LYSK70CZi0bviqs0mMrkPRq45iHU-BwohLJ1_I5GgdEBwGHkGTGtjHsm8_F4jPOhWwY7rtCibhmPzLX2c9R_-aFWZRj7Glx81Q_vVk-30LpqLtTV3adNsOfgGWXxNudy8rfi7hhBb6sqYtkpeCJpFG8lvUFTJ5XKbr=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi4eenENPep2Gts8emhzCPGh0LYSK70CZi0bviqs0mMrkPRq45iHU-BwohLJ1_I5GgdEBwGHkGTGtjHsm8_F4jPOhWwY7rtCibhmPzLX2c9R_-aFWZRj7Glx81Q_vVk-30LpqLtTV3adNsOfgGWXxNudy8rfi7hhBb6sqYtkpeCJpFG8lvUFTJ5XKbr=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">When planning for my garments, I almost always do some planning and keep a record in a sewing journal. This is a working journal, which means that i write out any planning info, my intentions, a print out of any Procreate sketches and just general thoughts. Then as I progress along the project I add in notes of things I may want to change next time, any notes that I think are important or pertinent, as well as what my next steps are. I almost never finish a garment from planning to start to finish in one go. So I like space where I can keep progress notes. My brain just doesn’t retain all the details and information like I would like it too! </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTBit1FCNZzcrMjN206fCkMGtMZEN4tZW4nscm6LVXHdUNqtT9Y3rb64o18l0gEJ4DRLyB_IYDYd-DBqA1cxSV6TCfMs_Sl8ftbKWng5ptU1JaiUgvsueuSTuHkSECooWdXCzL22O5Ys6BU9RS-u1oCwGUlG3e444cpuMru_8LHHV12NaQGNBdysir=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTBit1FCNZzcrMjN206fCkMGtMZEN4tZW4nscm6LVXHdUNqtT9Y3rb64o18l0gEJ4DRLyB_IYDYd-DBqA1cxSV6TCfMs_Sl8ftbKWng5ptU1JaiUgvsueuSTuHkSECooWdXCzL22O5Ys6BU9RS-u1oCwGUlG3e444cpuMru_8LHHV12NaQGNBdysir=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirV1ZCSVuwIzx02oZDfKkOprO5YrJ1pi2QRYhTwaEONFVAoG_pkNlagrtxPr04aErbkwrEEam06Kecn287TEp53dvXixhr2yXSbhc2dr5NFbMWOUCLm2VEYZTQ2zn9eN_RAFsTfNRh2yQUGfUTgIUf1b15JQw3XSsFlcWXvPhN6QyWFslcWRPsv_UU=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirV1ZCSVuwIzx02oZDfKkOprO5YrJ1pi2QRYhTwaEONFVAoG_pkNlagrtxPr04aErbkwrEEam06Kecn287TEp53dvXixhr2yXSbhc2dr5NFbMWOUCLm2VEYZTQ2zn9eN_RAFsTfNRh2yQUGfUTgIUf1b15JQw3XSsFlcWXvPhN6QyWFslcWRPsv_UU=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Fabric for both is a Oeko Tex bamboo/cotton French terry called Limeade Graffiti from online retailer EmmaOneSock.

The French Terry is also light enough to last well into spring and the print is so fun and so me.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgedbtjf0kFSJqxeBQo5ucJl9YVKZOMzsHwiPjgb18Grb_j9f_PL4CZ-ngUIMNnLn7CsYqWWHIhEIM13NpIvOO3HtQYKV5GZu_XuW0p8BEG9SbmQnRAST1grIU9mhl4gP_MRH5HkLHzhtWz7DYfrxcv396O4p4nf4xksTN0IuBWXppr7esioq0_TB3-=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgedbtjf0kFSJqxeBQo5ucJl9YVKZOMzsHwiPjgb18Grb_j9f_PL4CZ-ngUIMNnLn7CsYqWWHIhEIM13NpIvOO3HtQYKV5GZu_XuW0p8BEG9SbmQnRAST1grIU9mhl4gP_MRH5HkLHzhtWz7DYfrxcv396O4p4nf4xksTN0IuBWXppr7esioq0_TB3-=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJINnOxKYBUrBwA1vZBWgIg0GfS1j0O7IWFDH5RuqRqRAnDQkjFeeeNLtZyXy_pXnG4yAY7m-Ml1K7KM0FKKId7NpbuTIQ04-zzAJzbwnd3l7ol5n9OezWiGvfPnL4Wgv8OHf6YieIOWiqyRH83FYGaz5stoR-nhQJodUHetU_-NfFZ8tTohfPZXE2=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJINnOxKYBUrBwA1vZBWgIg0GfS1j0O7IWFDH5RuqRqRAnDQkjFeeeNLtZyXy_pXnG4yAY7m-Ml1K7KM0FKKId7NpbuTIQ04-zzAJzbwnd3l7ol5n9OezWiGvfPnL4Wgv8OHf6YieIOWiqyRH83FYGaz5stoR-nhQJodUHetU_-NfFZ8tTohfPZXE2=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">On the joggers I only used 2 small squares of interfacing about 2inches by 2 inches to interface the area of the grommets on the waistband. I used a medium weight fusible tricot(which is the heaviest i use for garment sewing). I fused the squares on top of each other rotating them 90 degrees so that i really controlled the stretch in the width and length. In my test I only did one square and I was able to pull out the grommet. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">In the hoodie, I used a variety of SewkeysE knit stay tapes. I used them on the kangaroo pocket edges, the shoulder seams and the front crossover neckline opening. I took a hands on class with Emma Seabrooke maybe 20 years ago, when she just had a few of these tapes. It was a knit serger class on controlling hems and seam lines and since then I have used these in my knits and swear by them! There are also some other brands or you can cut your own. I won’t sew knits without them. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi0PfEt1wpjsGdo1H0oLTMHWYK_guU306OAjlLIwjeFxQchnVSimpxz_TNDCJXDBGS0kFB5-d-4Wauq5dmb_1kiZszSMnQFRGwtdazqq5E3pUkVr6qIueOH5yRLd3JCglQUwuoBFo--E_z9BceL3m8gUW9ZXgmOtq84CFxYB0jAtXtkKxYzowgZSV5I=s1936" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1089" data-original-width="1936" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi0PfEt1wpjsGdo1H0oLTMHWYK_guU306OAjlLIwjeFxQchnVSimpxz_TNDCJXDBGS0kFB5-d-4Wauq5dmb_1kiZszSMnQFRGwtdazqq5E3pUkVr6qIueOH5yRLd3JCglQUwuoBFo--E_z9BceL3m8gUW9ZXgmOtq84CFxYB0jAtXtkKxYzowgZSV5I=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Not a lot of notions needed.

The sewing machine used a reduced pressure on the presser foot to keep the fabric from being pushed about and the serger had a differential feed of 1.5. Area where I used the sewing machine are always the shoulder seams. This lets me press the seams open and reduce bulk at the sleeve and the neckline. Also anywhere that is enclosed, like the cuffs and waistband. All other seams are serge constructed. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTmL6J68oj_qJgocusBW_nB_oKsSDchwKbihs8Z-QlUaYTaMnlWV_gM9QnFJYuKxxEhjv5JfvKcYzcN44Xky4HZGt_Xk5MGVR0TiISLHrulu4_QqTofAnG0EfAqi6d5dSh6lKZ_KNNVs_2cE5PuQZW4Hu1JLi3iIpmgm1bI9kaC6sawHhNy87IqjEH=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTmL6J68oj_qJgocusBW_nB_oKsSDchwKbihs8Z-QlUaYTaMnlWV_gM9QnFJYuKxxEhjv5JfvKcYzcN44Xky4HZGt_Xk5MGVR0TiISLHrulu4_QqTofAnG0EfAqi6d5dSh6lKZ_KNNVs_2cE5PuQZW4Hu1JLi3iIpmgm1bI9kaC6sawHhNy87IqjEH=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div></span><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Hem finish on the hoodie is a band and the joggers have a stitched elasticized hem.

No need to have to carry a separate hand bag around the resort. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYQkGEjmBTxxEKSGn3nEqKnmg_BNOc5Vp30Y9Jfb8Ie57bPUuj3svHJRIQF9U7R0cp9OV-c7OUVb57Z3RbFYhBdoHk02W0-cFO05NEqUbetvZafcgTq1RBhCmiVFbBFahmooROWlbHd6p21Z6Qxkgdo-0Moq9Jyz_FRSwgv16Yu7dnNrNCW8m6H0aP=s3113" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3113" data-original-width="2335" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYQkGEjmBTxxEKSGn3nEqKnmg_BNOc5Vp30Y9Jfb8Ie57bPUuj3svHJRIQF9U7R0cp9OV-c7OUVb57Z3RbFYhBdoHk02W0-cFO05NEqUbetvZafcgTq1RBhCmiVFbBFahmooROWlbHd6p21Z6Qxkgdo-0Moq9Jyz_FRSwgv16Yu7dnNrNCW8m6H0aP=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">On the topic of the patch pockets, I have a collection of cool shaped patch pockets that would be super fun to try on this dress!

(Hopefully! This should post while I am there, all the Covid tests were negative and we are a go for the trip) This trip has been a long time coming. This trip was supposed to be at this time in 2021 and a celebration of my 50th Birthday and all the wonderful things in my life. I don’t need to explain to anyone why this trip never happened! Thank you rona. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Skip to 2022, and omicron…. Ugh, I just trusted that we were all being safe and careful and wearing masks (Chicago has had a mask mandate in place since August) It helps that I have been very careful due to the pancreatitis and not wanting to chance having my body ravaged by a virus on top of the stress of a chronic illness. Anyhow, nothing special about this story! We are all living in this pandemic.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">So… back to the dress!!

Tight across the abdomen. The design ease is only a half inch in the waist. On me this amount of ease is just not comfortable (mostly due to my pancreatitis). It is a wrap dress, so I could loosen the wrap and it felt fine but then the amount of cleavage happening was uncomfortable, I would have had to wear a camisole and I did not want that. SO I made sure to mark CF and line that up and asses the fit from there. I did a closed wedge along the front opening below the breast to get rid of some gaping and I added a half inch to the side seam for a total of 2 inches. This gives me about 2 inches of ease at the waist, depending on how tight I tie the wrap, and it feels great!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">I also really like the look of the muslin as a top. If anyone is interested I just cut a length 9 inches from the waistband and marked this on my pattern. Completely makes a super cute wrap top!<br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3OtNhGO-KWeLf8XGDE7S99zI00Tr_POWo-78hEgydv_VnRXF2dCDjRvDg-hGhUsYLv4vjVVaBw6AsW6bKHfWEeX6YkZ0MdwIG33jp-oEKUjEtzYTtmla9Iws8R7y49J6gd7FPU7gHC_52NpoN_mlfNicIfASGiXnDkePXBgCE4psSoiHrU0cRgbB2=s1502" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1502" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3OtNhGO-KWeLf8XGDE7S99zI00Tr_POWo-78hEgydv_VnRXF2dCDjRvDg-hGhUsYLv4vjVVaBw6AsW6bKHfWEeX6YkZ0MdwIG33jp-oEKUjEtzYTtmla9Iws8R7y49J6gd7FPU7gHC_52NpoN_mlfNicIfASGiXnDkePXBgCE4psSoiHrU0cRgbB2=w384-h400" width="384" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh5JWoHP7xA_SaBLEDmEB6r_P2TsIaTmF0r_fdXjS7DtfLLWysbWUvUEgMCWPWjjWL3eP-duQ2iUDqarWoaSWC70QoYtmdhDG57tFCyCBa8JEIrI4twuCp6i2aER9kEtj1K7Ss-dRlm5HSmZMTur4b8kSWvEHy5AWxgqY6EvohPGzYkZxX3zzRFFrYk=s1502" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1502" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh5JWoHP7xA_SaBLEDmEB6r_P2TsIaTmF0r_fdXjS7DtfLLWysbWUvUEgMCWPWjjWL3eP-duQ2iUDqarWoaSWC70QoYtmdhDG57tFCyCBa8JEIrI4twuCp6i2aER9kEtj1K7Ss-dRlm5HSmZMTur4b8kSWvEHy5AWxgqY6EvohPGzYkZxX3zzRFFrYk=w384-h400" width="384" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFmLHd86j_phrVxnyTQQ3wMRnbEFmjfZdBMIwqVypZ8LHn4VYCNSrj4zRkEcGeHEc8SExfvCFagR72sKHWUP388UZQVMBJUImhpoy-n4sEDsphp0PPd5aIFaslBVzFdNx4BOsrE9eUNnPe_4fwRC3Ou2gKqoLkJtK75Xd6UKM2g0LYroR8zFradG3W=s1502" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1502" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFmLHd86j_phrVxnyTQQ3wMRnbEFmjfZdBMIwqVypZ8LHn4VYCNSrj4zRkEcGeHEc8SExfvCFagR72sKHWUP388UZQVMBJUImhpoy-n4sEDsphp0PPd5aIFaslBVzFdNx4BOsrE9eUNnPe_4fwRC3Ou2gKqoLkJtK75Xd6UKM2g0LYroR8zFradG3W=w384-h400" width="384" /></a></div><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">For design changes I added a 1/4 inch flat piping along the neck edge.

But, I did not have the leeway and I was not super happy with the print placement.

This was because the waistband facing, per the pattern directions, was to be slipped stitched by hand. I skipped this due to a couple of reasons. The biggest one being that this fabric is so tightly woven that even my sharpest pins had a hard time penetrating the fabric! The fabric was very stable and top stitching front the right side was done quite easily. In another type of fabric this may not be so possible.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Sans Pro; font-size: medium;">Of course I had to make a matching mask and key wristlet… ‘cause, why not??

On top of that I feel good about it. Feel good about the place I am in physically and mentally even though things can be hard, they are also quite wonderful.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">I did not do so great at blogging in 2021. I wanted to, I really did but life was just so big last year with so many things that I needed to attend to and blogging got put to the side. A decision that I was totally okay with. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">I did continue to sew and shared quite a few of my garments and creations on IG. As 2021 was coming to a close I realized that I was starting to miss blogging, a good sign that it was time to start thinking about picking it up again.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">And here I am! Once again rambling on and on. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">I ended 2021 with a Roscoe Blouse and started 2022 with a Roscoe Tunic. I have had the True Bias Roscoe on my wish list for quite a while and finally bought the PDF version and had it printed large format sometime during the past 6 months (timelines in the pandemic are just a bit fuzzy) </span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjKfxnh1uuuqGqIpHG06ZIFY8AROcI4JC8PxqrsA9uyXjTFx3Bi4TqSN6g6dRZLm8um1Xk96k45ufmdk3LcpL1-opp8Gm7r3liFgSipOtN6yhDNFSj066S82LYxN59Md2yAmmK3KhTiXZil185qy84UrP_RnsTcrO3Nk9vEzdjpa-8XzVhRkENfdp73=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjKfxnh1uuuqGqIpHG06ZIFY8AROcI4JC8PxqrsA9uyXjTFx3Bi4TqSN6g6dRZLm8um1Xk96k45ufmdk3LcpL1-opp8Gm7r3liFgSipOtN6yhDNFSj066S82LYxN59Md2yAmmK3KhTiXZil185qy84UrP_RnsTcrO3Nk9vEzdjpa-8XzVhRkENfdp73=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjHyEzYZiNIB_DyaVf31hUpYho7Jz1n_XW29r1JXUYnKLDC49WEk2R0j_7nXP1kl6DQG0zDEz7IyFtiZXeh9KogBGZI725Huv83TvcpS_Afy1kmqEcMd9ue8n5OwQOue3s6SDNW0DBoeAfvN46oJLBEJHWdmbuOn5X6-NqJ6_wXINisCuhSciiSLbTG=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjHyEzYZiNIB_DyaVf31hUpYho7Jz1n_XW29r1JXUYnKLDC49WEk2R0j_7nXP1kl6DQG0zDEz7IyFtiZXeh9KogBGZI725Huv83TvcpS_Afy1kmqEcMd9ue8n5OwQOue3s6SDNW0DBoeAfvN46oJLBEJHWdmbuOn5X6-NqJ6_wXINisCuhSciiSLbTG=w300-h400" width="300" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><br />Years and years ago I had a super cute peasant blouse and I always wanted to recreate the look. I just either never got around to it and every time I tried one on in RTW it was just a hot mess. Too much fabric in the wrong places, not enough in the right places and never in the colors or prints that I liked. So, this year I finally got back to it and I am happy that I did!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">I used my iPad and my body model croquis to do some sketching. I like this part of the creative process. I use the procreate app and use it at its most basic level. One of these days I will learn more about it.

I made a muslin using some recycled old garments. I am glad I did because there was way, way too much fabric at the front raglan sleeve seam. It was a bit shapeless. I released this seam and let the “extra” fabric from the upper front chest slide under the sleeve seam and reshaped this seam. An easy fix to do and made a big difference. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj2u4JiRObn2B08vsupci09WD_nDX7t-ktaHz7CJeNo_WGiK7uNSCqRGWn2XFk3k_dtVxtsIYHc-h47NKuCEOjXuJ1mty2ojISV76UHFgqgzpHmBKHiOeX14xyi8kd9LKAJSsqyOFcuhh_dxlyaWVD64AGQsq91xqK8kXYxwmfILI3iph98n0tlme-j=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj2u4JiRObn2B08vsupci09WD_nDX7t-ktaHz7CJeNo_WGiK7uNSCqRGWn2XFk3k_dtVxtsIYHc-h47NKuCEOjXuJ1mty2ojISV76UHFgqgzpHmBKHiOeX14xyi8kd9LKAJSsqyOFcuhh_dxlyaWVD64AGQsq91xqK8kXYxwmfILI3iph98n0tlme-j=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgA3KhLQDy4mfhnfHzHpvo0oQYniH6EhOOx-QsEJKv_0pl2BAcC0HRMSW4B1AlqElh0GeS_i8j1HdnxQXcoThzVcCW9HsGs788tjpDnzuK4OPi4JrSFLILtdTyJ2Gz78mFdXCrnyWZjLOnBVDFNFpSNiauzPGOu1tiIvCrzRMWzwUurq6HvG_buCDi-=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgA3KhLQDy4mfhnfHzHpvo0oQYniH6EhOOx-QsEJKv_0pl2BAcC0HRMSW4B1AlqElh0GeS_i8j1HdnxQXcoThzVcCW9HsGs788tjpDnzuK4OPi4JrSFLILtdTyJ2Gz78mFdXCrnyWZjLOnBVDFNFpSNiauzPGOu1tiIvCrzRMWzwUurq6HvG_buCDi-=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGg3NPcrAJ7opjh9_j_KaaLYJ-m5m2kHXGWCxGpSPryDNQJf6Oz3dEBaDOAlYhn8Lf2MbTyTiXQo9ra8do7t6gikm0StPaAjzogY2Y-AcqkIT1s8vAU5Jzk5383iqis175lojiH4Ns_E_96-SDsEsECGtstKTKSTqBrL7v7vfrWjzhKaoE9PD62qDF=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGg3NPcrAJ7opjh9_j_KaaLYJ-m5m2kHXGWCxGpSPryDNQJf6Oz3dEBaDOAlYhn8Lf2MbTyTiXQo9ra8do7t6gikm0StPaAjzogY2Y-AcqkIT1s8vAU5Jzk5383iqis175lojiH4Ns_E_96-SDsEsECGtstKTKSTqBrL7v7vfrWjzhKaoE9PD62qDF=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh59JAdn2JCH4o1XB9wZejGWUlchpY-P1a362OHOEfxW88N5Hzbit5dkumRdTFJw9yvUvfsTDNwz4vjFhlU5SPdk4xRGQeGajjPdpfClZXZcYfwr-biGds_F4lqI_OYoBxNHDhDabFdoPRZZ96PnxN0rqJcmOrzEqXgK6M4rdsMdeSlpddYbsva9N-z=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh59JAdn2JCH4o1XB9wZejGWUlchpY-P1a362OHOEfxW88N5Hzbit5dkumRdTFJw9yvUvfsTDNwz4vjFhlU5SPdk4xRGQeGajjPdpfClZXZcYfwr-biGds_F4lqI_OYoBxNHDhDabFdoPRZZ96PnxN0rqJcmOrzEqXgK6M4rdsMdeSlpddYbsva9N-z=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3W9LEY9CwSQ_pnkntUPY49L3S-0bZALFxZyjzDMsRpsHLjAUAsaRsbtM068XOClMVb8Luh0_dL7mOKzCQAQlAp_U19QPtDWvYgIHs6uMRDQc1Jqp1x30_cZTHyfawJpEgtpHcFc1dp5g3ANCncwMmnI7LGodoBs4LYFhylBNI_HSSFt3mNcxVJTjD=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3W9LEY9CwSQ_pnkntUPY49L3S-0bZALFxZyjzDMsRpsHLjAUAsaRsbtM068XOClMVb8Luh0_dL7mOKzCQAQlAp_U19QPtDWvYgIHs6uMRDQc1Jqp1x30_cZTHyfawJpEgtpHcFc1dp5g3ANCncwMmnI7LGodoBs4LYFhylBNI_HSSFt3mNcxVJTjD=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">The fabric used for this first version was purchased from a New Rainbow Fabrics that is local to me in Chicago. So local that it is just an easy 1 mile walk! I really liked this print. It is a little bit out of my normal palette with the pastel parts. Plus it was a stretch polyester chiffon, so really out of my normal fabric choice. But, something about it just grabbed me and at $9.99 a yard I figured I could take a chance. Boy am I glad I did!! This is NOT like some other polys I have used in the last from the big box stores. It cut sewed and pressed like a dream. I was so dang surprised! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">With this version done I decided to immediately move to another version with a couple changes. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">The size 12 I cut for the blouse is quite roomy and if I was going to make a tunic I didn’t want that much extra fabric. This time I cut it down to the smallest size plus maintained the seam shape of the front raglan sleeve. I was still worried about feeling overwhelmed by too much fabric. I had seen on some IG pictures and other blogs where people added waist elastic to give it more shape so I sketched this out and marked the waist on the pattern.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">In addition I wanted the sleeves to be full length, a little fuller and elasticize at the wrist. For this I lengthened 3 1/2 inches then slashed and spread in 4 places adding in a total of 4 additional inches. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgrPP0gfiqLAOg0WD9ZcO5pR90fQbvnlD7Wspp4ZAVkEQVf_Sf0cpc0BywNq_X0nCKKUI-CJOZ6QF6FNJGvD-Gq9Kl6MwgXez5Fn-r9PR76v9lNTmSnedwkPDZ8-2xtUjI2hAS7wfU-vaf1VBexAxSZJSK2YAA3a0slV55EKwxo1cH4gAuo05dAWuW9=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgrPP0gfiqLAOg0WD9ZcO5pR90fQbvnlD7Wspp4ZAVkEQVf_Sf0cpc0BywNq_X0nCKKUI-CJOZ6QF6FNJGvD-Gq9Kl6MwgXez5Fn-r9PR76v9lNTmSnedwkPDZ8-2xtUjI2hAS7wfU-vaf1VBexAxSZJSK2YAA3a0slV55EKwxo1cH4gAuo05dAWuW9=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Open Sans;">I thought this was not exactly the look I was going for but it would be a good save if the tunic was still too voluminous and needing shape. So I cut into my fabric, a rayon print from Closet Core Fabrics in a graphic 60’s vintage print. I knew from using this fabric before, in a different colorway, that I had to cut it single layer. A very squirrelly fabric! </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgPJkki0XxXEjTjgTUY94N-73dtBCCmqmjrFjaxMNUsuKCf7iqPQXi5IDGZZArsTB6m9H_aWFEBpjKkZSOzaZq5niRQgTx0uQ_-w4iSkVWm4-6A2ohL3K8j7txScSzewRIRgLP4L06T4-xUrfoPstjeb7wptmSj5-LFv-yNGRztDmWr97gArCQOnDDH=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgPJkki0XxXEjTjgTUY94N-73dtBCCmqmjrFjaxMNUsuKCf7iqPQXi5IDGZZArsTB6m9H_aWFEBpjKkZSOzaZq5niRQgTx0uQ_-w4iSkVWm4-6A2ohL3K8j7txScSzewRIRgLP4L06T4-xUrfoPstjeb7wptmSj5-LFv-yNGRztDmWr97gArCQOnDDH=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjU8B1oByLGAXLrr4QKB0j0VUGMQP9ByRdRSmLcQGodgFtvAledrZUQbzAxFzlaZMbLEmG-osMHzRrfBWvZq5_4NEFe0VgWy6kZunFql4etxc6dHU4U0bvMwT3x5zf4FWanaHGaIR9pFVX4OSLCtdYEebBmf2QCfbXgiG4ecQn9OxEj6vc_7uvPw0y=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjU8B1oByLGAXLrr4QKB0j0VUGMQP9ByRdRSmLcQGodgFtvAledrZUQbzAxFzlaZMbLEmG-osMHzRrfBWvZq5_4NEFe0VgWy6kZunFql4etxc6dHU4U0bvMwT3x5zf4FWanaHGaIR9pFVX4OSLCtdYEebBmf2QCfbXgiG4ecQn9OxEj6vc_7uvPw0y=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhuLXitek3G_sOQ319h7_lu8MhXePYRnD6uLaaX659LHetAAeg6PVYzwaVo9Qd5eofpRUdquC0Ah51R0obRrRyf0lgK3OdnfjFXwiVsskkVyCN2_rfekPzrVf8-PSSKX-FDoJnJKGHugiAKqrpSQgx7WPSYdMX33t-Pwv_syzfKKz8OrNOscuoA6B7-=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhuLXitek3G_sOQ319h7_lu8MhXePYRnD6uLaaX659LHetAAeg6PVYzwaVo9Qd5eofpRUdquC0Ah51R0obRrRyf0lgK3OdnfjFXwiVsskkVyCN2_rfekPzrVf8-PSSKX-FDoJnJKGHugiAKqrpSQgx7WPSYdMX33t-Pwv_syzfKKz8OrNOscuoA6B7-=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGZtqWyzQdKymzcnZLPCdPfZlwCmCNgaF80O1BSn-tLPu5G-hv3pof3HJsfGc6MuW0oeWp5UoXxgDFpQVKHAKIXg30bjWvRe2IL8r9KWhjkf51EaxuRKgd1w29pMU1Yq_L37mC8bFhlI9_oFgxWecKTriDw3a02evA8YGI_Ev1g_s4zPkRC_C8I8jh=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGZtqWyzQdKymzcnZLPCdPfZlwCmCNgaF80O1BSn-tLPu5G-hv3pof3HJsfGc6MuW0oeWp5UoXxgDFpQVKHAKIXg30bjWvRe2IL8r9KWhjkf51EaxuRKgd1w29pMU1Yq_L37mC8bFhlI9_oFgxWecKTriDw3a02evA8YGI_Ev1g_s4zPkRC_C8I8jh=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgcIqN9n8btRGQ-ykH3y5ixVDwAge8rvVEZ69wp3hI85hdsyQb61hkXDfbNT2UwAbqrLal_nIQxIdImQRjLyKLOfQMRwo8tW1U4C2zGoDpR1Cs09Fv5aNAq3lx834Cylo1XTts7qJRyi2FLNTqFqiYJZezcrJ5ybP2ht5_XtBFPue_bK_JH6YjhuhhI=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgcIqN9n8btRGQ-ykH3y5ixVDwAge8rvVEZ69wp3hI85hdsyQb61hkXDfbNT2UwAbqrLal_nIQxIdImQRjLyKLOfQMRwo8tW1U4C2zGoDpR1Cs09Fv5aNAq3lx834Cylo1XTts7qJRyi2FLNTqFqiYJZezcrJ5ybP2ht5_XtBFPue_bK_JH6YjhuhhI=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhUJ_YaD6GcHK2OqOpfhVrQLskYDhhwgr0kisSNfT2qrtiDplamyT2w1xQdfOAR0na10mP_VTSqXzEy03jI__gIJ1QlhWvjtiSrz5oHgekj2iOqsp5q8S0TJBfI9qgSP3U9-Tj9Qu70G8kJg6QsFWFb-TZwGi6dlyMX-WiXGsOMuFLWeknvV9ZdQDwI=s3088" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhUJ_YaD6GcHK2OqOpfhVrQLskYDhhwgr0kisSNfT2qrtiDplamyT2w1xQdfOAR0na10mP_VTSqXzEy03jI__gIJ1QlhWvjtiSrz5oHgekj2iOqsp5q8S0TJBfI9qgSP3U9-Tj9Qu70G8kJg6QsFWFb-TZwGi6dlyMX-WiXGsOMuFLWeknvV9ZdQDwI=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";"><p><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";"><br /></span></p>As you can see in the above photos, changing to the smallest size worked out great!!

This spring was spent on moving and setting up my new home and sewing space (see previous post for sewing space photos!) The later spring and early summer were spent on getting my knee fixed and sewing some clothes that actually fit and enjoying getting to see people again, even if it only lasted for a little while. I really made a decision to put blogging aside just for a little while. I have a feeling that with this new Delta variant that there will be plenty of time now to catch up on the solitary indoor activities… like blogging!</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQABhiJGjWYVjbbFsAnrS5NGdWDJ8Q4gs81SDsGc4CL9eC_LoDEpAGlDYsLvyzQjm05ooR3XCPSVcfNoiSbKRwBASmFAcjftPFMBDbpjdJ61DI9vJWAUR1oLiTx5HXt9NEyUS9FkzWfFA/s1280/AD8B1003-B260-46A3-A3D6-01F0E23C1403.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQABhiJGjWYVjbbFsAnrS5NGdWDJ8Q4gs81SDsGc4CL9eC_LoDEpAGlDYsLvyzQjm05ooR3XCPSVcfNoiSbKRwBASmFAcjftPFMBDbpjdJ61DI9vJWAUR1oLiTx5HXt9NEyUS9FkzWfFA/w300-h400/AD8B1003-B260-46A3-A3D6-01F0E23C1403.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div></font><div><font size="4"><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Earlier this spring I made the decision to do a make nine suduko style SWAP (sewing with a purpose) and these pants were a part of that plan.</span></font></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span><b>Pattern:</b> The Sewing Workshop West End Pants.

I made mine so that the pants just slip over my hips and then gathered in the rest from my hip to waist with a nice wide elastic. They also have pockets!! For me pockets are a must and every time I make a garment that does not have pockets i am mad at myself for not adding them. These pockets are nice and big and they do not gape open. Last but not least, I like my butt fit in them, after i did a little scooping they looked perfect and got rid of the dipping HBLS in the back (Sorry- did not take a picture in the muslin, was just quite in the sewing zone!)</font></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGEK4W17UPoIdSlv7uScN1YNYKKENg0HW85tcQAjkgfqmEuR8HArdStq2D3uGpOMgHFTEfJOIQGLkBVmIifVz2SVrI4e4_npRtF7FHXsGnD2hunUB0LN3hcNxYDHjXCpJA1Qd8JiN7fsg/s2048/E0181B22-3F45-4EED-80AE-E7F68B476B27.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1226" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGEK4W17UPoIdSlv7uScN1YNYKKENg0HW85tcQAjkgfqmEuR8HArdStq2D3uGpOMgHFTEfJOIQGLkBVmIifVz2SVrI4e4_npRtF7FHXsGnD2hunUB0LN3hcNxYDHjXCpJA1Qd8JiN7fsg/w240-h400/E0181B22-3F45-4EED-80AE-E7F68B476B27.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8KydHQzGar2zWZrohbET2-YUoVm8URQVketSjsxlBWRzYqwcbOaNyiFQSZ4c4owQmLagiXV-gJjnzNj9tJ6VUb7HNFOLqIH4hotfBuHa_F-7GcM3CEVFzJQXa0RI_C_JOiiNiqAagVbI/s2048/CBE2F943-6471-4A84-98BB-871DBB239FE7.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8KydHQzGar2zWZrohbET2-YUoVm8URQVketSjsxlBWRzYqwcbOaNyiFQSZ4c4owQmLagiXV-gJjnzNj9tJ6VUb7HNFOLqIH4hotfBuHa_F-7GcM3CEVFzJQXa0RI_C_JOiiNiqAagVbI/w300-h400/CBE2F943-6471-4A84-98BB-871DBB239FE7.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><span><div style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Fabric: </b>The fabric is a Merchant and Mills linen from Oak Fabrics. Excellent weight for pants and a dream to work with. I did wash and dry the fabric twice before I cut into it. Linen just likes to shrink and I like how linen just softens up with washing. Since making these I wash them and damp dry them in the machine and then hang to finish drying. If I do it this way then there is no need for ironing and then they also last much longer. The fabric was a bit on the expensive side but it was well worth it, such an excellent bottom weight, dress weight (no need to line) or a light jacket. </span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpyjQBMn31giT1Unc2WkVd4LLZzje8zxG14c-29_Xr8JynA8j8lp09PNHU_7peodo70UkQv783rr-YZGuDYQnaZAXGZfQtMGuTlc-up9maa3Vsg362P2_rbSfnO75ObF2HStS3-hpmsw/s1662/4387D487-5F91-4EB2-9202-DB61A3A1A520.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1662" data-original-width="1247" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpyjQBMn31giT1Unc2WkVd4LLZzje8zxG14c-29_Xr8JynA8j8lp09PNHU_7peodo70UkQv783rr-YZGuDYQnaZAXGZfQtMGuTlc-up9maa3Vsg362P2_rbSfnO75ObF2HStS3-hpmsw/w300-h400/4387D487-5F91-4EB2-9202-DB61A3A1A520.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The pattern was brought to my attention by my roommate from the American Sewing Guild Hong Kong trip that I took in 2018.

A lovely bright and fun pair of summer pants and they are highly reflective of me and my personality. I bring that up because I have been trying very hard to be intentional in what i am making and adding to my wardrobe or refashioning to fit my new body shape. There has been a lot of reflecting on how my lifestyle has changed right now due to the ongoing pandemic. As many people i am dressing a little more casually but I refuse to be sloppy! I love color and i love to look nice and I love to create so changing gears a little bit to creating fun and high quality clothing for a more work from home life has been interesting. </font></div><div><font size="4"><br /></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm9N_lFru1owrKCnjyjv0pQ8jGQhGbA130dTGp2cZvqJyWvmfO3t2LJddMYmdNtZhRpyOkaDs1g0S_-G3wwrb-UAUlIIRu9YXQirAUnPF3hJtPIq7w-uD3KC1wviIkHjv3AbX_7XHVBfo/s2048/9B8CDAF6-DC9B-48DB-B76A-D069F85D608D.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm9N_lFru1owrKCnjyjv0pQ8jGQhGbA130dTGp2cZvqJyWvmfO3t2LJddMYmdNtZhRpyOkaDs1g0S_-G3wwrb-UAUlIIRu9YXQirAUnPF3hJtPIq7w-uD3KC1wviIkHjv3AbX_7XHVBfo/w300-h400/9B8CDAF6-DC9B-48DB-B76A-D069F85D608D.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /></div><div><font face="arial" size="4">These pants fit right into that plan.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This tunic development started a little differently. I
worked in the mirror and decided how wide I wanted my yoke and then drew that
on the pattern and then just sort of drew in curvy lines for Princess seams.
When I tried to tape these out it was a bit of a mess, so I just went into
muslin. However, when I was drawing these curvy lines on the pattern I wanted
to accentuate the natural curves of my body so I made sure those were drawn
with the thinnest part at the waist and then wanted to make sure the curves
were smooth as well as being well defined and very curvy!</span></p>

Tunics if I totally botched this one up. Also, seeing that all the changes were
in the princess seams I felt pretty confident that I could accommodate changes
made in the first muslin. Of course making sure that the princess seams walked

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The second question of this tunic was how to give it some
punch. I wanted to play with highlighting the seams and adding some pockets.
Making sort of a play off of Chanel designs. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The first design consideration that I made was to cut the
center panel on the cross grain vs the length of grain. If you look quickly at
the garment you may not even notice! However, I think it gives it a nice subtle
effect and just gives your eye a change in pattern to highlight this center
panel.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJYpaKTBJXYHmZURL8-X_OCw7QCEU89VHuKNUGpU_KmR8Hoh99hZ7xuXuvghDWPxI_WSmpoonBXNFYM0vQNgd6pqcrVJFquri3UR8Rg630trSCQFY4n4D0x7WXLssSoPpnCIUuPsSm6-k/s2600/CT+9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJYpaKTBJXYHmZURL8-X_OCw7QCEU89VHuKNUGpU_KmR8Hoh99hZ7xuXuvghDWPxI_WSmpoonBXNFYM0vQNgd6pqcrVJFquri3UR8Rg630trSCQFY4n4D0x7WXLssSoPpnCIUuPsSm6-k/w185-h400/CT+9.JPG" width="185" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUm3eLSoz0jOKWar5V-tX0y9ktFgNvSpx6AeAotxnJqn4rnkpGUwMNBk3i5qNbJuFfPdtEm_yIEaK85fJ0r-XvIGkbQnCH6aApYWpkSWIK5pc0-YcUTtEKhZlMqeM_8FET2KjCW7Sfkh4/s2048/CT+8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUm3eLSoz0jOKWar5V-tX0y9ktFgNvSpx6AeAotxnJqn4rnkpGUwMNBk3i5qNbJuFfPdtEm_yIEaK85fJ0r-XvIGkbQnCH6aApYWpkSWIK5pc0-YcUTtEKhZlMqeM_8FET2KjCW7Sfkh4/w300-h400/CT+8.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Second design consideration was addition of trim. This
fabric was perfect for deconstructing and making into a trim. I started with
cutting a piece both lengthwise and crosswise to see what it looked like.
Pretty apparent which one I wanted to use! I then cut a couple different widths
and did some tests with how to create the fringe. I made several long pieces
and then just started with pinning them onto the garment and seeing how I
wanted to proceed. I did actually pin some down the curvy princess seams but it
was just a bit too obnoxious for this garment! LOL!! </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">After lots of playing around I finally decided on the
fringe around the entire yoke seam and then around the sleeves.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgORsnliKucX-Hn-TvElFNOGmiBlBMm2Of4oM1_sdMjVSJ2oOYzPlQ-Rddnl0cS1splURfKigrpXG3Ti-YDC1vgLsrBIWFZaze9yIBy7AT0gGFLLAdRgA2PRrAxABopl_gbnJ_WH6m0uoo/s2048/CT+18.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1537" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgORsnliKucX-Hn-TvElFNOGmiBlBMm2Of4oM1_sdMjVSJ2oOYzPlQ-Rddnl0cS1splURfKigrpXG3Ti-YDC1vgLsrBIWFZaze9yIBy7AT0gGFLLAdRgA2PRrAxABopl_gbnJ_WH6m0uoo/w300-h400/CT+18.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Next up was playing with the pockets. I really likes the
idea of the double pockets but due to the curvy princess seam I could not quite
get the placement to look good in the space that I had to work with. So I went
with a single pocket on each side and these were also cut on the cross grain to
just get them to subtly stand out as well.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhph_EMEFEJhJ2XsmWsE0UWv1MYxGp5mlPebbMQ_5qHyoD3r5prbG3gxw6WXMe2hUzITkreTDdPqwBJqd9hBzdRw3yII8WFv22SIPV1KpTLHuY6XYDfH_YtCYl1LvBOS6AxRdD0tnF-1kY/s2048/CT+13.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhph_EMEFEJhJ2XsmWsE0UWv1MYxGp5mlPebbMQ_5qHyoD3r5prbG3gxw6WXMe2hUzITkreTDdPqwBJqd9hBzdRw3yII8WFv22SIPV1KpTLHuY6XYDfH_YtCYl1LvBOS6AxRdD0tnF-1kY/w300-h400/CT+13.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The internal construction of the garment is pretty simple.
I wanted this to be a wash and wear garment, so I first serged the cut edges of
the yardage and then threw it in the washer and drier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After I cut out all the pieces I serged
around the raw edge of each one, except for all of the yoke pieces which I
fused with a soft loft fusible interfacing. I did serge finish the edge that
was stitched down with a stitch in the ditch method on the machine. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The trim was placed on the seam lines and machine stitched
in place with a zig zag stitch and the hem facing and sleeve hem were both also
machine stitched. All of the machine stitching sort of just melts away into the
texture and loft of the tweed, and gives me the secure knowledge that I can safely
wash this garment on gentle in my machine and hang to dry with no worries about
anything coming apart or unraveling.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilo4rI5ZZsBz6xWea3h1m9B_4BtYrXIvs4K0j5F6ipRWZw5fkpYqdrTuqJkR8xGQoQo56lbVGByfnSTQe9bN4Xp8c81Nlwzait7_JxiR4uSSSVCaFJHDUBoQYFAHfHll0dNycw0EiUBjw/s2048/CT+17.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilo4rI5ZZsBz6xWea3h1m9B_4BtYrXIvs4K0j5F6ipRWZw5fkpYqdrTuqJkR8xGQoQo56lbVGByfnSTQe9bN4Xp8c81Nlwzait7_JxiR4uSSSVCaFJHDUBoQYFAHfHll0dNycw0EiUBjw/w300-h400/CT+17.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq_-2nZbYbglreNwlBwPjRaMxaxnWOS3j0blcN5E01KXAB05lM3bVPTm0Qlg6QmZDvmViZX9U_lHF8bAz-XZOmzhwPXejUGymhIqzIeHs6jw0cU5Bos2ZHC7ckwcLUG8aCYlXKQVxYafg/s2048/CT+16.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq_-2nZbYbglreNwlBwPjRaMxaxnWOS3j0blcN5E01KXAB05lM3bVPTm0Qlg6QmZDvmViZX9U_lHF8bAz-XZOmzhwPXejUGymhIqzIeHs6jw0cU5Bos2ZHC7ckwcLUG8aCYlXKQVxYafg/w400-h300/CT+16.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

for a small dinner it was great to have something to celebrate during these
difficult times!</span></p>

of it. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Then I moved into making a muslin. For my muslin I knew I only
needed to make the upper portion of the tunic. To test out the fit of
transferring the darts and to test out the viability of the design. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Some questions that I ask myself are:</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Does
the design work with the fabric that I want to use?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The important part to remember here is that as I moved
through this process I have my fabric picked out and have certain portions of
the print in mind for certain areas. I also keep in mind that there is always a
chance that I will get to this stage and decide that I do not like the design.
I am okay with that! Being okay with that uncertainty allows me a lot of
freedom in how I feel and think about the design. It is more about an
exploration with the hopes of a good outcome! </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I had to make some changes to muslin number one for fit. On
the left shoulder I had to add a scant ¼ inch along the neckline due to coming
closer to the neck and moving up on the trapezius muscle. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I also had to do a closed wedge on the right side right at
the curve of the neckline to close up a small bit of gaping. This a change I
was completely expecting to make. I have learned that when you carve out area
over breast tissue you will cause some gaping. The absolute best way to fix
this is by making a muslin and pinning it out. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">With the muslin done and the design fitted and me being
very happy with it I decided to go back to my iPad and play with the fabric
design and placement in Procreate. To do this I took photos of the fabric and
played around with cutting and moving things around through layers’
functionality to play with the overall design. You can see the constants of the
vertical bars on the left neckline, the red on the left side of the body and
the print on the right with the print also being on the sleeves. What I was
playing around with was adding/subtracting red on the sleeves as a flat piping
insert as well as the upper chest curved piece.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Since I was basically fussy cutting this design out of my
limited fabric I cut the pieces that were most important to me first. These
were the bars or stripes that ran along one side of the fabric. I wanted them
to be on the vertical neckline piece, the hem bands and on portion for the
upper back. With those cut out I moved onto the large front piece and carefully
played with the design elements of the print and where they would fall. For
every piece that I cut out of the print fabric for this tunic, I made sure to
have some element of RED on the piece. To me this just helped to make it more
cohesive. Hopefully for you, you would not even notice!! Which means I did my
job well. Sometimes these things will tend to stick out or make themselves
noticed when it just looks wrong or non-cohesive.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It was fun to cut out all the pieces and lay them flat

they transform from these flat pieces into a beautiful three dimensional
garment!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Since this tunic is meant to be a wash a wear. I sewed down
the hem facings and sleeve bands with machine stitching and on the front curves
I did my clipping and then carefully serger finished these edges while keeping
the curved shape so that the clips splayed out and overlapped under the
overlocking appropriately. Doing it this way meant that I could keep my full
seam allowances keeping a nice finished seam.</span></p>

We all have those fabrics in our collection or stash that just dont suit us. Either our tastes have changed or maybe it is a beautiful fabric that you would never wear or perhaps it was given to you or picked up in a swap or trade. I decided that I needed to get rid of those fabrics that my hands always pass over in favoor of something more appealing. SO I got rid of quite a bit! It was also easier to do since I was giving the fabric to a wonderful young woman who is starting her journey in fashion design.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The last muslin that I made was one that was basically full
length but left off the sleeves and the hem facing and just did the bodice
front back and the front and back neck facing. Normally in mock ups or muslins
I omit the facing and just mark the finished neckline. However, because this
garment has so much focus on the neckline and the pattern pieces are so
strange, I decided that It was worth adding the facing to just make sure
everything went together perfectly.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">You will see in the muslin pictures that there seems to be
some funkiness with the upper bodice fitting. Consulting with my mentor helped
me to understand that because of the final pattern shapes that much of the
upper bodice was on the bias and that without the sleeves in the muslin it was
sort of collapsing a little bit in that area. </span></p>

determined by several factors. On the back- shaped center back neckline. At the
very top of the seam it bows in, mimicking a fish eye dart. There is also a
shaped neckline dart from about mid back shoulder area. You can clearly see the
bottom third of the dart coming to the point it a normal dart shape. The rest
of the dart has been carefully ‘shaped’ to give me the shape that I want. </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7KqfvBbL38tfKQbxWHmPkOM1H6Dsm_vs3sN1B36eA4j7gL28pbtw5xrZF86MIpMAIhMi1xMvK7R6HZO2TReHR2w5XYec6EFhhyj7cvAlFVqCY32ZqOLJw1tOYaOgV4I27WZ8OQEcEgIw/s2048/RD+18.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7KqfvBbL38tfKQbxWHmPkOM1H6Dsm_vs3sN1B36eA4j7gL28pbtw5xrZF86MIpMAIhMi1xMvK7R6HZO2TReHR2w5XYec6EFhhyj7cvAlFVqCY32ZqOLJw1tOYaOgV4I27WZ8OQEcEgIw/w300-h400/RD+18.JPG" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Front neckline facing- cut on fold at CF</span></i><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEThBm56f99H6jMZXT2quf57qazqo1PTrBOPw-EdRDqEYEZZ-sLYuyjgucxU-LToNEnI_WZzmugrQ7obh-YaVKue_-ik9iYEfMu7JOpXVbQE6aITz-A0zT6eKp8Lm5sh64aY41mQYwAs0/s2048/RD+16.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEThBm56f99H6jMZXT2quf57qazqo1PTrBOPw-EdRDqEYEZZ-sLYuyjgucxU-LToNEnI_WZzmugrQ7obh-YaVKue_-ik9iYEfMu7JOpXVbQE6aITz-A0zT6eKp8Lm5sh64aY41mQYwAs0/w300-h400/RD+16.JPG" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Front bodice with neckline darts and inverted or reverse pin tucks</span></i><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p>

It is a solid texture cotton pique in lime green with a
nice amount of body to it and perfect for holding this neckline. I used the
wrong side of the fabric. I decided on this by playing with the fabric and
folding in where the neck darks would be and the ‘lines’ or ‘striped’ side of
the fabric was better.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">For the facings and the turn back cuff and the pockets I
used some Liberty of London lawn that I had left over from a shirt I made a
couple of years ago. I used a fairly lightweight fusible interfacing for the
facings. Just enough to give it a little bit of extra oomph but careful to not
over interface. This was done with testing a fabric sandwich to check that it
was enough.</span></p>

Chicago Chapter of American Sewing Guild got together for a 4 hour Zoom Sew
Along. There were seven or eight of us and we started with a quick chat about
what things we were each working on and then we sewed and zoomed!! Stopping
periodically to chat or ask questions about something or other. It was quite
fun! I decided to try this jumpsuit and I had pre-cut it out so that I could

also tried to using the Coats Eloflex thread. This thread is supposed to be a
‘stretchable’ thread for knit fabrics to be used in the regular sewing machine.
My machine does not seem to like this thread… It is almost like it is getting
stuck in the tension discs and causes this squeaking noise!</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

thread overlock stitch and a differential feed of 1.3. I changed up the
directions for the gathering of the pants waist just a tiny bit. Since the seam
allowance is 1 inch, I ran 2 rows of gathering stitches. One at 7/8 and one
just slightly in from there. This let me gather the fabric right at the seam
line and control the fullness as I sewed better. I still left the gaps at the
side seams to reduce the bulk in that area.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

zig-zag on the regular machine and the neckline was coverstitched. I would have
preferred to coverstitch the entirety of the hems but my machine is a
convertible serger/coverstitch and too much of a pain to change in the middle
of construction. But I am thinking there may be a way start with the
coverstitch of the long leg pieces, change too serger and do all the
construction and then go back to coversticth to finish the neckline and sleeve
hems.<span> </span>OR… just buy a coverstitch
machine!! LOL!!</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

like this garment!! I was afraid that it would feel maybe vaguely like having
too much fabric between my legs. But NOT AT ALL! I think this is because the
depth of the crotch drop. It keeps the fabric from bunching. <span> </span>It is very comfortable and super fun to wear!!
I have worn it several times already and now thinking that maybe I can add
sleeves for a more winter version. This is such a comfortable addition to my ever growing pandemic wardrobe of comfy clothes! <br /></span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

then the second step is rotating the bust darts to the neckline. </span></p>

Sarah Veblen that was about raised necklines where she showed many examples and
then walked the group through the pattern work. With this fresh in my mind, and
the recording to refer back to, I started my pattern work. </span></p>

off a partial pattern front and back that goes to just below the bust darts.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The first thing I did at this step was to draw in where I
wanted the ‘darts’ to be. I used a Frixion heat erase pen in this step so that
I could re-do as many times as I wanted. I ended up with these curved lines
that come out from the neckline in regular intervals. Interestingly enough they
are all the exact same length and drawn with the same curve of a French curve.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">With these drawn on the Version 4 mock-up I then worked on
the flat pattern. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I started by tracing a clean version of the pattern. Still

Sarah, I decided to start with one to one transfers into the 2 closest
radiating darts. The upper bust dart went into design line number 3 fully and
the lower bust dart went into design line number 2. However, line number 2 went
past the full bust point. My decision here was to transfer the dart at the bust
point and then when sewing the dart continue past the point as a pin tuck to
the end of the line. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahYq043Yb42DAKT6nndF4mlQFqOooCtwjYQe7sjxNgMH6ohZYQI-LqAQgu9e9HusMjdAoTNvylpDxy2IGkBEBJRsOpPKWWUkmSYiuxWmPkzu5cfZz4kuu4jJMmYc0602PZ1BPqqk_BCY/s2048/RN+21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahYq043Yb42DAKT6nndF4mlQFqOooCtwjYQe7sjxNgMH6ohZYQI-LqAQgu9e9HusMjdAoTNvylpDxy2IGkBEBJRsOpPKWWUkmSYiuxWmPkzu5cfZz4kuu4jJMmYc0602PZ1BPqqk_BCY/w300-h400/RN+21.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mock-up made with reverse pin tucks and darts sewn in.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Of course to make all of this more difficult is that these

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">To true the neckline darts into the smooth curved soft V, I
very carefully walked the curved darts and pinned at the neckline. With this
done I was able to use my fashion ruler to create a smooth curve and add seam
allowance to the best of my abilities. It looks correct…. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Next step will be to make one more mock up and check the
overall fit and final neckline shape.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Hopefully after that mockup I can move into fashion fabric.
I have a nice green 100% cotton textured fabric that has a nice crisp body.
Should hold up the neckline and show off the radiating ‘darts’’ quite well.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Happy Sewing!!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This picture of Princess Victoria sums up how I feel about everything in the real world right now!!

to use in the final garment. Luckily I had some poly silky from a fabric swap
that I took to use for making test garments. The biggest unknown here was the
gathered area along the diagonal seam line. I had several decisions to be made.
The amount of gathers and if I needed/wanted to add additional gathers, the
size of the area to gather into, the placement along the seam line to put these
gathers. I did my best guesstimate by playing with the fabric in my hands and
seeing how much gathers looked good. I started with a 4:1 ratio. SO I knew I
wanted my gathered area to be across 4 inches so I slashed and spread to get to
a total of 12 inches of fabric to be gathered.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The important part to remember here is that I knew this was
just going to be a starting point and that I would end up making several
versions and several muslins to come up with the final design. I also knew that
there was a possibility that it would never go to garment stage and I was OK
with that!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Version one was so bad and looked so frumpy that I just
laughed!!! Basically the gathered area was in the wrong place and too poufy! It
was in-between my breasts, not a good luck! The muslin/test fabric I used was not conducive to pics, it was all I had so I used it.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I unpicked the seam and redistributed the gathers to a
better placement. This helped a lot and I felt like I was on the right track. In the photo below you can see the progression of the placement and amount of gathers. Red was first try, green second and blue final success!<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8P9WU1F1FarOnltWFww_kaYYz4kLT_YP1c9AgsScsU_O6vPPrzm3XfLaD2ELwev2mVNd5v6rgeKKeYxvWIO2WRNdYGYkOO3b473GmuXp01EiyDoOA95fOgMBsX6bWKWVqrF-YqWf9JwU/s1666/InkedAGT+9a_LI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1206" data-original-width="1666" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8P9WU1F1FarOnltWFww_kaYYz4kLT_YP1c9AgsScsU_O6vPPrzm3XfLaD2ELwev2mVNd5v6rgeKKeYxvWIO2WRNdYGYkOO3b473GmuXp01EiyDoOA95fOgMBsX6bWKWVqrF-YqWf9JwU/w400-h290/InkedAGT+9a_LI.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I still had to move the gathered area further down the seam
line as well as removing some of the fullness and reduced the size of the gathered
area down to about 3 inches. To reduce the amount of the gathers I did a closed
wedge so reversed my slash and spread to a slash and close to the amount of
fabric that I had pinched out.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I made another muslin and realized that I still had too
much poufiness in the area. I was starting to think that maybe this was not
going to work for me. Then I decided to unpick the seam line and see where the
fabric in the upper area relaxed too. Basically I let it fall under the seam
and pinned it. This worked!! I realized that when I first converted the darts
to the gathers that I had too much length. Not so easy to true up this area. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">One of things that I really like about this design is how
the drape of the fabric is also affected asymmetrically. It has a super pretty drape
coming off of the left breast and down the side front of the garment. SO soft
and lovely.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">With the final muslins looking good I decided to make it up
in real fabric.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I am trying to NOT buy any fabric, I have so much already.
I used a rayon challis William Morris print. It makes the detail of the gathers
and seam line a little hard to see but I was okay with that. The fabric is so
soft and lovely. Feels so great to wear! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In using the patterned rayon challis, I had some
considerations I had to make when cutting it out. I wanted the right and left
backs to mirror each other so I carefully cut them on single layer. Very happy
with how this worked out! I also wanted the outer sleeve seam to mirror each
other. I was less successful in this. However, I am okay with how they turned
out.</span></p>

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">When I do the sketches I make sure to keep the ones that I
don’t like since these give me almost as much information as the ones that I
like. I personally feel that when doing your own design process, it is just as
important to identify things that you don’t like and why as well as the things
that you do like. Sometimes you come up with an idea that you want to like and
it is fun to take that and figure it out, break it down into its basic pieces and
identify how to make it work for you.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

pattern. To do this I put my pattern pieces on the floor and photographed them
straight down. I printed these out on regular printer paper. Then put them on
my light box and traced the seam lines so that I would have a small scale line
drawing of my pattern. I then just photocopied a bunch of these!</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

last blog post for now on Exercise clothes! This one is for cooler weather on its
own or in cold weather layered under outerwear. McCall’s 7261 is a raglan
sleeve and princess seam top and leggings active wear pattern. With this top

</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I made view B (the one the model is wearing on the pattern envelope). I like a higher neck and the shaped hemline, along with
the cuffs and thumb holes. Keep my hands nice and toasty on chilly Chicago days.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Fit Changes:</span></b><span style="line-height: 107%;"> SO many changes! I knew from looking
at the pattern photos and drawings that this was going to be the case. The
general shape is that of what I call ‘Swimmers’ shoulders and a very athletic
type and I am not quite of that build.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">I really love having my custom dress form to use for a lot of fitting and for pictures. I did do most of the below fitting process while on me. Nothing like trying to undo your own princess seams with out stabbing yourself in the armpit! After making all the changes I put the mock-up back together so you could see how bad it really was! The mock up is in green and hot pink- nice and easy to see where changes needed to be made! <br /></span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">I Selected
my size based specifically off of the size chart and sewed it up as is on my
regular sewing machine. Right off the bat on the first try on it was way too
big in circumference in the body and the arm. I am not sure if the drafting is
off or if whomever made this didn’t realize that it is supposed to be close
fitting (even though the description says close fitting…) </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">I started
right off with reducing the side seams and underarm seams by an additional 5/8
inch. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">With
circumference under control I moved to the myriad of length issues. On the back
this included removing a wedge on the back piece and a closed wedge on the side
back. This removed the extra fabric pooling in the low back. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The front
also had some length issues in the upper chest. I removed a wedge on the upper
front (above the side front panels) as well as doing a closed wedge across the
raglan sleeve. There was way too much fabric there! I also released the upper princess
seams and let them overlap to where they wanted to go. I ended up taking out a
pretty good sized wedge in that area. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

sleeve length was reduced by 1.25 inches and there is still plenty of length! </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">I also had
to change up the cuffs. They were way too wide even with the reduction in the circumference
that I made. On this top I just cheated and took it in on the opposite side of
the cuff so that it would work for me. Because of this the thumbhole is
slightly out of place on this top. I will have to make sure to correct this on
future versions. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

90% Supplex Nylon and 10% Lycra It is a slightly brushed and very soft

zag with 0.5 mm wide and 3.5 mm long. To make it easy to unpick seams as
needed. For the final top I constructed on the machine using Eloflex thread and
narrow zig zag and then serge finished using a 4 thread overlock with wooly
nylon in the loopers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I did it this way
so that I could try on as I went before serge finishing in case I needed to
make any additional adjustments) Next time I will just fully construct on the

using matching Eloflex thread by Coats and Clark. I usually would do a cover
stitch but I wanted to try out the Eloflex thread. SO far no popped stitches. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

weave fabric to match the leggings already made. It has just been a busy week

Of course everything this year has been upended due to the pandemic. For awhile my sew-jo left me, all my plans for 2020 went out the window and I just made a whole lot of masks and then it slowly started to return. As my sew-jo returned I wanted to intentionally be creative. Not just make for the sake of making! <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I did a lot of thinking and pondering about what I wanted to work on in my sewing journey the second half of this year and I decided that I wanted to work on some more designing options and develop stronger skills. I want to be able to see an interesting garment and be able to 'see' how to create it using either flat pattern methods or by draping. Now these are 2 very different ways of working so I decided I wanted to concentrate first on flat pattern methods.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I am pretty capable of working on this project completely on my own. BUT... working with a mentor is always a bonus in my book. Having another brain to bounce ideas off of and to ask a question when you get stuck or frustrated is good for me. Also having another person to help keep you accountable can be a bonus!<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So, with the above loose goals in mind I wrote up a 4 month self-study mentorship program on using flat pattern methods to create new designs. (actually I wrote up 2! One for flat-pattern and one for draping) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I had several specific thoughts on what I want to work on during this 4 month mentorship. I want to work on wearable designs, not special occasion. No jackets in this go around. I want to work off of master patterns that I have developed for myself and develop new designs for me in:<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Tunics</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Skirts</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dresses<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">With this idea fleshed out and defined I sent my pretty detailed proposal to Sarah Veblen to review. She was game to participate and act as my Mentor for this project. Sarah offers several different types of online learning options. From zoom classes to full on 4 month mentorship programs and everything in-between!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I have worked with Sarah in a mentorship before but it has been several years and this time I wanted it to be more design and exploration based.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>The basic idea is that for each of the 3 categories I use a certain amount of time to</b> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> <span> </span>1. identify inspiration garments-<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> 2. identify what it is about that inspiration garments that I like<span> </span> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> 3. Sketch these ideas on my croquis</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> 4. work in 1/4 scale patterns to transform the sketch into a pattern based off of my master pattern.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> 5. take the more interesting ones to muslin stage</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> 6. take one or more to final garment. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>The tools that I am using for the project are:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span> </span> </b>Pinterest, Google Images, Instagram, my own photos, books and magazines for inspiration. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> Pinterest with creation of secret boards and uploading my images and sketches and shared with Sarah.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> A My Body Model croquis that I use on my IPad Pro in Procreate app for sketching and drawing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> Camera and Camera phone for photos and to use in reducing the full size pattern pieces to aprox 1/4 scale.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I am really looking forward to this exploration of design for myself! It will be fun and I am sure that I will learn a lot plus it will help keep me occupied as we enter into the colder months during the pandemic. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I am hoping to document my process and progress on the blog under title - Notes on Mentorship:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Feel free to follow along if you are interested or skip right over if not!<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><br /></p>Stephanie - Siouxzeegirl Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14118363027417990384noreply@blogger.com2Chicago, IL, USA41.8781136 -87.629798213.567879763821153 -122.7860482 70.188347436178844 -52.473548199999996tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316187844053042803.post-79054069811452141022020-09-25T17:00:00.008-05:002020-09-25T17:00:01.093-05:00New Workout Wear- J Stern Designs Skort and my variations<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />Last week I

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Items I
wanted to make- Sports Bras – tops – leggings (both full length and long
shorts) </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Considerations
for my comfort was mostly around the fact that I don’t necessarily like my tush
showing while exercising. Most times it is fine but living in a major city
means that people will see me while outside and some guys are just crude… So, I
decided that I wanted either tops that covered my tush, or an attached skirt or
leggings that are patterned and fit well. I also wanted to make sure I had a
pocket on my leg for my phone. This was a must for me.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">For this
blog post I am going to focus on the bottoms</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Pattern:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Easy Fit and Sew Skort (now named Skort and
Simple) from <a href="https://jsterndesigns.com/" target="_blank">J Stern Designs.</a> </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Fit Changes:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> For the Skort pattern I made 3
changes. I lengthened the shorts and the skort by 5 inches. I have fat thighs
and there is nothing worse than when exercise shorts, or any shorts for that matter,
roll or slide up. The skirt portion I lengthened as well just to look more
proportionate on me. In addition to changing the length of the shorts and skirt
I did also add a little more room over the bum for the skirt only. You can
certainly see this in the ruffle hem on the back that there is added fullness.
However, it does not pull or ride up across the tush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I basically did this by doing a slash and
spread over the fullest part of my butt cheek. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Design Changes:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> The original pattern is for a short
pair of shorts under a skirt. Well I changed that a bit to suit my needs. I
basically made 4 different versions and used elastic in the waistband for all.
The shorts fit so well in the pelvis that I decided to just use that as a base
for the leggings. I literally just measured the length of my favorite pair of
leggings and lengthened them to full length. I also added a pocket to the skirt
on the first edition but changed this to a pocket on the leg portion of the
shorts or leggings. This I placed on the right at mid/low thigh. This is the
easiest of all pockets to add. Literally just a rectangle, cut big enough for
my iPhone, with facing at top and then topstitched down with raw edges out.
Super simple and works great for my needs.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">When making
the different bottoms I wanted to make sure to incorporate designs that work
for me. Warm weather, cooler weather, walking, biking, yoga/stretching and
functional or light weights/band/ball workouts. The skirted styles work
perfectly for walking and biking and I feel most comfortable wearing these out
and about. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

made from fabric from <a href="https://jsterndesigns.com/" target="_blank">J Stern Designs website.</a> It is luscious and is wicking
fabric!! The 3 different skirt fabrics were to match the bra tops and tanks for
a mix and match workout wardrobe. The floral patterned bottoms fabric is from
<a href="https://discoveryfabrics.com/collections/activewear/products/solar-stretch?variant=30377909321813" target="_blank">Discovery Fabrics and is called Solar Stretch</a>. LOVE IT! The pattern stretches
quite a bit before you start to see the white background through it. I have
enough left over to make a long sleeve top.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

pair of shorts elastic with gripper rubber on leg openings. This was purely
done out of curiosity and to try it out. I cut the elastic the finifhed length
of the opening. Serged it to the edge, flipped it up to the inside, leaving the
raw edge of the elastic covered and then triple coverstitched the top edge of
the elastic like a hem.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

opportunity to play with these to find what I liked and did not like. I used
both front and back coverstitch as finishes and I did some zig zag as well. My
favorite for this workout capsule was the reverse coverstitch. I also did a
double row of reverse coverstitch on the waistband to make sure the elastic
does not roll. (I HATE it when that happens) </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Thoughts on the
Easy Fit and Sew Skort. It’s easy and I highly recommend as a great place to
start. The fit on my body was great using the recommended size per my
measurements. I like that the rise is nice and long and the waist hits me at my
narrowest part which is NOT where I wear regular pants. A super comfortable
place for my leggings. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that there are a lot of fancy workout
bottoms patterns, with color blocking and interesting seaming. For my needs
right now I don’t really have a need for those… They look awesome but I do
notice then when I am out for a long walk and see others wearing them it just
draws my eye to their legs and/or butt. Not really what I want!! LOL!! Also, in
my mind less number of seams equals less possibilities for seams to rub
somewhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Never say never – I may make
a pair like that in the future!</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I have worn
each of these in at least one long 5 plus mile walk and for functional training
workouts and have no problems! Everything is super comfortable and works
perfect for my needs, no pulling, binding, twisting or any other uncomfortable
issues to deal with! A big win in my book!!</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Another
quick win was a re-fashion that I did. I am not a big re-fashioner but I love
the cut and fit of this dress but have always hated the soft lavender color on
me. It was meant as a wearable muslin and figured if it didn’t work then it
would be fine since the color sucked for me. Well, after 5 years of being worn
I finally decided to fix that color and did my first ever RIT dye in the
washing machine and now I LOVE IT!! </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Last year I
decided that I really needed to up my game in the workout gear arena. This came
about as I was upping my fitness for my trip to Paris. As some of my readers
may know I have a medical condition, Chronic Pancreatitis, that when it decides
to flair up it can knock me down and out for a long time. Literally taking my
strength and endurance back to step one.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So, as I was
upping my strength and endurance I really noticed that I had a need for more
workout specific clothing. I did what any good sewist would do and started ‘collecting’
workout/exercise fabrics, patterns and books. I now have enough workout fabrics
to sew myself a FULL wardrobe of exercise gear! LOL!!I know I am not alone in
doing this….</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I started
off by identifying the types of exercise that I like to do or aspired to do. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Walking with
a small amount of jogging thrown in from time to time, long walks/hikes. casual
bike riding (meaning using Divvy Bike in Chicago and not owning my own
performance bike) Strength training/functional training with dumbells, medicine
balls and bands plus some yoga and active stretching. None of these really
require any specialty clothing items and I am not doing any sustained high
impact activities.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Next step
was to get some inspiration. It’s great to have Instagram, Pinterest and Google
Images for this part. SO much fun to go down the inspiration rabbit hole </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I then
identified what items I wanted to make.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Sports Bras –

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Considerations
for my comfort was mostly around the fact that I don’t necessarily like my tush
showing while exercising. Most times it is fine but living in a major city
means that people will see me while outside and some guys are just crude… So, I
decided that I wanted either tops that covered my tush, or an attached skirt or
leggings that are patterned and fit well. I also wanted to make sure I had a
pocket on my leg for my phone. This was a must for me.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">For this

Only notions needed for the Bra and Bra top was elastic. I used ¼ inch and 3/8
inch clear elastic and ¾ inch non-roll elastic. For applying the clear elastic to the Pika bra neckline and armholes I used a trick that I saw on the Fehrtrade blog about using the elastic foot on the serger with no tension. This really stremalines the process and cuts down on the time! it serges the pieces of fabric together AND applies the elastic at the same time! A big WIN in my book!</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTpmf4Lhj0Tsz9FcjpgsYGW0Vsa4IjCEIE_ur94LxFJHsrys3-6ms5b4RbWpJMg-ZFk2r7ljX55RbeElRLJjoV62h5nlUdwwdp7Xu-hRT4KTjCovsdoIQnTExZKkEueJ-Rkku1ulwQOI/s2048/IMG_6877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTpmf4Lhj0Tsz9FcjpgsYGW0Vsa4IjCEIE_ur94LxFJHsrys3-6ms5b4RbWpJMg-ZFk2r7ljX55RbeElRLJjoV62h5nlUdwwdp7Xu-hRT4KTjCovsdoIQnTExZKkEueJ-Rkku1ulwQOI/w300-h400/IMG_6877.JPG" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Elastic foot set up on my serger</span></i><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></span></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBOHNDQEU6UD5TD8Ck0j5AdrNFMP3GNx9aFCjokvhnEkS_m0BEDckgxecWU6xI-yac2vqhpj0eo64vdkVrHBgP06BVTyht5fbcc8K3v_wTxr-SQ4p93Bi3k6AXmH3m_mc49qUgHZYiFLU/s2048/InkedIMG_6880_LI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBOHNDQEU6UD5TD8Ck0j5AdrNFMP3GNx9aFCjokvhnEkS_m0BEDckgxecWU6xI-yac2vqhpj0eo64vdkVrHBgP06BVTyht5fbcc8K3v_wTxr-SQ4p93Bi3k6AXmH3m_mc49qUgHZYiFLU/w300-h400/InkedIMG_6880_LI.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">View as you are sewing - the large circle in front is where the elastic goes in and the smaller circle in the back you can see the 4 thread overlocker stitches attaching the clear elastic and the fabric and self lining all together in one step.</span></i><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2KRUT8B_a_bwcM2-GS87eX2YEECSoTp9btIM2FvnDFDjQI1BzVz7W_VGO9HP3huJ8hIiP_BSE7o9QJu2jrVh7dIIrpuU3tLmoWmRkSAEHjMpAjepK9LnbwdX34G6qX4cjmvN7ekRegI/s2048/IMG_6875.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2KRUT8B_a_bwcM2-GS87eX2YEECSoTp9btIM2FvnDFDjQI1BzVz7W_VGO9HP3huJ8hIiP_BSE7o9QJu2jrVh7dIIrpuU3tLmoWmRkSAEHjMpAjepK9LnbwdX34G6qX4cjmvN7ekRegI/w300-h400/IMG_6875.JPG" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Final product all in one!

wanting to make the Suki Robe for a long time. In fact, I was so excited about
this pattern that I mistakenly purchased it twice! Oops! When I went through my
fabric collection to pick out a fabric to make for her I settled on the 2
combinations that you see here. The floral print and the tiger print. Both
lovely fabrics with very different feels to the fabric and very different, but
fun, vibes. Decision paralysis hit! For the life of me I could not decide which
one to make for my mom. So, I did what any good sewist would do and made them BOTH!! I figured that I really wanted one and liked both combinations equally
so one for me and one for mom! The decision could be made later as to who got
which one. Luckily I could make the same size for both since there is not a
huge amount of difference between us and it is after all just a robe, very
forgiving in the fit department.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

making them I literally would go back and forth with which one would be for
mom. In the end I waited until they were both completed and then had a video
chat with my sister and asked her opinion. I REALLY just needed someone to make
a decision! She said floral for mom!! After seeing mom in the floral robe it is
a perfect fit for her. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

PDF only pattern. I really do NOT enjoy printing out sheets of paper and taping

do a nice job and have fairly quick turnaround and very reasonable prices.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

longer. I added 6 inches to each tie. I also added a label and hanging ribbon.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

construction and seam finishes: All seams done on a regular sewing machine with
a 3 thread overlock serger finishing. The construction directions are quite
nice and I had them accessible on my iPad. For both the sleeve bands and the front
bands she includes 2 construction methods, a beginner method – exposed seams
and a more advanced method- all seams enclosed. I thought this was a very nice
touch and would certainly enable new sewists to expand on their techniques. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

notes- Matching topstitching as I didn’t have anything special on hand to use!
The inner ties were made the old fashioned way of sewing and turning the tubes.
The rayon was way too soft for feeding through the belt loop maker on the
serger and I didn’t want to futz with starching the pieces. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
