Though it may be a few months late, I have finally finished making a mens button-up shirt as a birthday gift for my husband. It has been a long project because I worked at first on making a muslin to try the fit, I adjusted the pattern and I worked slowly just to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.<br />

This pattern is McCall's 6044 and it is a very straight forward pattern. There are several great versions already made out in blogger world: <a href="http://foursquarewalls.blogspot.ca/2012/06/congrats-shirt-and-moving-news.html" target="_blank">four square walls</a>; <a href="http://www.truebias.com/2012/05/sewn-short-sleeved-mccalls.html" target="_blank">true bias</a>; <a href="http://dixiediy.blogspot.ca/2012/11/un-selfish-sewing-mccalls-6044.html" target="_blank">Dixie DIY</a>. I chose to do view A with the addition of the back yolk from view E becuase it matched an already owned 'favourite' shirt in his closet.<br />

I chose to top stitch in a blue-grey thread, and scrounged up a set of matching buttons from my stash that even went with the shirt! The yolk and front button plackets were done on the bias; I liked the look of the diagonal plaid.<br />

Unfortunatley, even with my attempts to fit the shirt using a muslin, and to customize it ahead of time, it came out too small and does not fit comfortably. The actual buttons for this version won't be serving any other purpose other than decorative. :( Lesson for next time, maybe the pattern sizing isn't so rediculously huge.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> (Pull lines when arm is raised and too tight to use the buttons properly)</span></i></span></div>
Anyways, I was thrilled to see the shirt actually being worn this morning, even though it needs to be worn over a t-shirt. I'm really happywith the finished product (minus the fitting issues); I took my time and it paid off: no use of the seam ripper was part of this project ... ok, ok, except for making the button holes. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657251674185084637.post-11133949859963704092013-02-11T10:22:00.000-05:002013-02-11T10:22:03.859-05:00Monday's shirt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Started Sunday afternoon, and here I am wearing my new t-shirt on Monday.<br />

I've used a wonderful light knit for this shirt and used the <a href="http://blog.mariadenmark.com/?p=875" target="_blank">Kirsten Kimono Tee pattern</a> from <a href="http://blog.mariadenmark.com/" target="_blank">Maria Denmark</a>. This time I decided to add thick waist and sleeve bands and a small neck band. Both the arm and waist bands are about four inches wide (eight total before folding them in half), and the neck band is 3/4 inches (one and 1/2 before folding). The <a href="http://sewsquirrel.blogspot.ca/2012/07/stripes-part-two.html">last version</a> of this shirt that I completed, I just hemmed all of the edges and top stitched with a double needle, and though it looks fine, I am still not entirely happy with the finish on that one. <br />

The sleeves bands are a tad too big; if I do this again I think they need to be shaped, rather than one large rectangle sewn on.<br />

I marked the back of the shirt with a small piece of ribbon. The front
and back of this shirt can look exactly the same early in the morning.

At the very least, this project has helped get me out of a sewing funk. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657251674185084637.post-62730595968370841742013-01-25T15:27:00.001-05:002013-01-25T15:27:37.017-05:00Blogger blues...It's not that I haven't been sewing and creating for the past two months...it's just that so many of those things were gifts, and one cannot blog about a gift before it is given. Well, silly me, because then I forgot to photograph all the lovely gifts I did finally finish.<br />
<br />
What was I secretly working on? Knitting and weaving projects of course.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1Oj2h0TEQQ0/UQLmo_VV-VI/AAAAAAAAAa8/b7fuuuW7gmU/s1600/IMG_2827.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1Oj2h0TEQQ0/UQLmo_VV-VI/AAAAAAAAAa8/b7fuuuW7gmU/s400/IMG_2827.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
I knit up 3 pairs of 'socks' (or slipper like socks because they are so thick), to keep toes warm. I found a <a href="http://www.canadianliving.com/crafts/knitting/amazing_feets_2.php" target="_blank">straight forward pattern</a> in which I could easily alter the ankle height, and I made a point of trying to use up all of the small leftover balls of yarn by creating un-matched striped socks. Each pair is made of the same colours but different stripes and thicknesses of stripes; a great way to clear out the last little bit of leftover yarn. <br />
<br />
The weaving project was one I had been working on for over a year, and even then, my husband and I only got three dish towels completed to give away on Christmas Eve. Again, I forgot to take photos. Here's the warp still on the loom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KCLMiHI5sZ8/UQLqE55zZsI/AAAAAAAAAbY/G3W59hP049g/s1600/IMG_2828.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KCLMiHI5sZ8/UQLqE55zZsI/AAAAAAAAAbY/G3W59hP049g/s400/IMG_2828.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
I have been working on re-fitting and re-fashioning some old work clothes to fit me better. Specifically pants. I found the legs of some of my ready-to-wear pants much too wide (almost <a href="http://img2.etsystatic.com/000/0/5303594/il_fullxfull.156464818.jpg" target="_blank">elephant pant leg</a>) and definitely not professional feeling. So with the <a href="http://www.leevalley.com/en/gifts/page.aspx?p=58722&cat=4,62908&ap=5" target="_blank">new fancy seam ripper</a> (I can't rave about this tool enough!) I was given for Christmas I attacked the side seams of two pair of pants. I really happy with the fit of the legs now, and the waist of the pants fit much better now two.<br />

I've realized that I have yet to understand the science of pant construction and I think that sewing pants might be a ways off yet in my sewing carrier. <br />

As for the blogger blues, I love the blog, but sometimes it feels like an overwhelming responsibility. There are a lot of works-in-progress that need to be visited. So, there is no end to what I can blog about, it's just a matter of getting them up here. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657251674185084637.post-83321088863731883502012-11-15T16:16:00.000-05:002012-11-18T18:18:43.322-05:00A fall-plaid skirt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A stash-busting, fall coloured, plaid skirt! This beautiful wool plaid has been hiding out in my stash for years. After the <a href="http://sewsquirrel.blogspot.ca/2012/10/fall-sweaters-and-unwanted-guests.html">moth infestation</a> I went sorting through my boxes just to ensure that everything was moth free and came across it. Amazing what you forget you own. As soon as I saw this plaid I knew exactly what I was going to make.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Inspiration came from <a href="http://lladybird.wordpress.com/?s=plaid+skirt&submit=Search" target="_blank">Lladybird</a>'s beautiful and bright circle skirt and from <a href="http://foursquarewalls.blogspot.ca/2012/02/plaid-about-you.html" target="_blank">Andrea</a>'s gorgeous half circle skirt over at four square walls (I love those skirts!).<br />
<br />
There was only just enough material to make a half circle skirt, and amazingly enough I was able to match the large plaid pattern. That took a lot of plaid tracing and measuring, and I had to repeat the process three time because I couldn't believe my luck when I realized that it would work.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6lfg9WnbwHk/UKVYQTHw3iI/AAAAAAAAAYg/1jxlX4wktFw/s1600/IMG_2789.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6lfg9WnbwHk/UKVYQTHw3iI/AAAAAAAAAYg/1jxlX4wktFw/s640/IMG_2789.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
The <a href="http://sewsquirrel.blogspot.ca/2012/10/zany-zipper.html">zany-zipper</a> dilemma was sorted. I had to remove the invisible zipper and refit the waistband of the skirt. Instead of re-inserting another invisible zipper (had I mentioned that the first one broke?), I decided to go with a bright red 'regular' zipper from my stash because the wool was too thick folded over to allow the invisible zipper to do its thing (that would be ZIP). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V_NkosuF3Aw/UKVYZf0IbhI/AAAAAAAAAZA/P3agzHRXENc/s1600/IMG_2805.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V_NkosuF3Aw/UKVYZf0IbhI/AAAAAAAAAZA/P3agzHRXENc/s400/IMG_2805.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
If anyone out there knows of a really great online 'regular' zipper
tutorial, please <i><u>give me shout</u></i>. I've figured out the invisible ones, but
perfecting the normal zippers still seems to be beyond me. I am content in the fact that the red zipper does not standing out, but please try not to notice the lumpy-zig-zagging stitches that hold the zipper in place. :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R2fG3gmOnrU/UKVYbavK_GI/AAAAAAAAAZI/h_5kLBhr9Dg/s1600/IMG_2807.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R2fG3gmOnrU/UKVYbavK_GI/AAAAAAAAAZI/h_5kLBhr9Dg/s640/IMG_2807.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
So, with a lot of hand stitching to ensure the bright red zipper was hidden as much as possible, I now have a finished fall skirt. <br />

Well, I hoped to have a project finished by the end of October, but alas, time has run away again. I've been happily sewing little bits each day and I am soon to be done this project but then the zipper strikes. First try, I sewed in the invisible zipper just right, only to then try on my garment and realize it needed to be adjusted just slightly for a better fit.<br />

The needles mark where I need to take in material. A funny angle. I can't wait to finish this stash buster project. I am amazed at how quickly some other bloggers sew and post their finished projects: Lauren of <a href="http://lladybird.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Lladybird </a>and Carolyn of <a href="http://handmadebycarolyn.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Handmade by Carolyn</a> for example. Well, for me this project will just have to join the ranks of the November posts. 'till then...<br />

My personal goal was to post two, hopefully three entries each month, and I failed in September. The machine is fixed and I've been sewing, just no projects I considered blog-worthy. Thus the silence. I am slowly sewing up a shirt for my husband. I really want to do it right so I am taking my time, making a muslin, measuring twice, and cutting carefully. It has been a slower than usual project.<br />
<br />
To the topic of this post... Fall sweaters and unwanted guests.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5IW9ex4ebZk/UHc0YKscj1I/AAAAAAAAAXU/uVcpxHqNtHY/s1600/IMG_2773.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5IW9ex4ebZk/UHc0YKscj1I/AAAAAAAAAXU/uVcpxHqNtHY/s640/IMG_2773.JPG" width="457" /></a></div>
A few years back I made us a few thick wool sweaters for the fall. Actually, I initially made my husband a sweater as a gift, but it became mine because surprises don't allow you to easily measure someone. :) It's a beautiful thick zip-up sweater with pockets, and big enough for me that it makes a great 'jacket'. Still needing to make my husband his own sweater, I took all of his wants and dislikes and knit a newer, and more appropriately sized, sweater, complete with hood, wooden buttons and a tree.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-czoeZpaNYGU/UHc0S8dgDuI/AAAAAAAAAW8/dmYQEvkpTo4/s1600/IMG_2763.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-czoeZpaNYGU/UHc0S8dgDuI/AAAAAAAAAW8/dmYQEvkpTo4/s400/IMG_2763.JPG" width="300" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9SCJ5eooBPU/UHc0U5DF5MI/AAAAAAAAAXE/rREXwRtG8FI/s1600/IMG_2768.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9SCJ5eooBPU/UHc0U5DF5MI/AAAAAAAAAXE/rREXwRtG8FI/s400/IMG_2768.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
The tree design was created from scratch because I couldn't find the right tree pattern anywhere. It was easy actually. I drew a tree, and then using teeny-tiny graph paper, I 'traced' the tree drawing by colouring in squares on the graph paper. From there, I used the chart to count colours in my rows as the back of the sweater was a straight forward stocking stitch. Ta-da! I do have plans to add a lining to my husband's sweater so he can wear it more year-round. But that is yet to come.<br />
So, that's the story of the two beautiful sweaters.<br />

Until I went to wear mine for the first time this fall...<br />

<b><i>Holes</i></b>. Where there shouldn't be holes. Oh no. I searched more, and there was a whole chunk of the waistband missing on my husband's sweater! And more holes! We had (have?) moths. The hours of work that went into these! So we searched out and plucked those little moth larvae from the sweaters and hats and mitts that had not been stored away (as good wool garment owners should). And we froze and washed and dried and plucked more. There has been no more hole development, so I think they may be gone for now, but from what I read, you can never be certain you are completely rid of them. We just need to be extra careful.<br />

So I am now in the process of patching, re-knitting and fixing the sweaters. They are looking a little worse for wear; I am not as good a patcher as I am a knitter (and even that is very basic), but they are still warm, and now clean.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lesson learned: wash and store away your woollies in the summer. With cedar if possible. And <strike>kill </strike>remove the moths that trick their ways indoors. Hopefully we'll still get more wear out of these sweaters before the moths attack again. <br />

Well, since my sewing machine is given me headaches (not picking up stitches), I thought I'd share the collection instead.<br />
<br />
So, whatever did happened to those comfy pair of jeans? Those that I've worn out, I've stashed away in boxes like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5VJsNK1SVRM/UD9rmJ0XKlI/AAAAAAAAAU4/vnwPA5hSxBo/s1600/IMG_2701.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5VJsNK1SVRM/UD9rmJ0XKlI/AAAAAAAAAU4/vnwPA5hSxBo/s400/IMG_2701.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
Then they are disassembled and stored here and here:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z6biIvx4538/UD9riINE0GI/AAAAAAAAAUk/X36D20lKOtM/s1600/IMG_2694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z6biIvx4538/UD9riINE0GI/AAAAAAAAAUk/X36D20lKOtM/s200/IMG_2694.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cSq1R_bmSns/UD9rkdiS3kI/AAAAAAAAAUs/rHcpqCm6mCQ/s1600/IMG_2696.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cSq1R_bmSns/UD9rkdiS3kI/AAAAAAAAAUs/rHcpqCm6mCQ/s200/IMG_2696.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
And then finally they get made into something usually like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A shopping/utility/multi-purpose bag! Personally, I enjoy using them way more than the cheep ones sold at the grocery store. Each bag has it's own personality; I add in drapery fabric from a sample book I was given. They are great to use too because they have the same weight and (usually) texture as the jeans.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This funny hobby originated from my favourite jeans about ten years ago. You know, those pair that are incredibly comfy, you wear them all the time, and then they slowly start to deteriorate and so you add a patch here, and there. Then they rip more, and you hand stitch them there and here, and add another patch to reinforce the old ones too. And then those pants deteriorate <b>so much</b> that one day while doing maintenance work, you hear a <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>RRRIIIIPPPPP</i></span>, and you know that the only you will wear these pants anymore is with a pair of leggings underneath. (And you do too, because you work at camp, and this is totally acceptable).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RccKOVqglfY/UD9rLdQF3dI/AAAAAAAAATk/-mBu5AOymxU/s1600/IMG_2678.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RccKOVqglfY/UD9rLdQF3dI/AAAAAAAAATk/-mBu5AOymxU/s320/IMG_2678.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p9xg9mFbDi4/UD9rOvRjsJI/AAAAAAAAATs/BbOzvBp-0rw/s1600/IMG_2679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p9xg9mFbDi4/UD9rOvRjsJI/AAAAAAAAATs/BbOzvBp-0rw/s320/IMG_2679.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
But one day, those jeans must retire. And myself, having artfully stitched and patched those pants, couldn't bear to toss them. So instead I cut them up and made my very first jean bag. (The yellow plaid was even the patching material I had used over and over).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NN0L12VjKx8/UD9rGsyYaVI/AAAAAAAAATc/YMfMIAj3_4s/s1600/IMG_2676.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NN0L12VjKx8/UD9rGsyYaVI/AAAAAAAAATc/YMfMIAj3_4s/s640/IMG_2676.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
And I still use it years later! I have made many more, so many I couldn't take pictures of them all. But every part of the jeans are used. The back pockets are used on the insides, belt loops for decorations, and the waist bands (the most valuable part) are used as the handles. (You always need two pairs of jeans to make one bag...)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The material gets used for the obvious, and even the thick seams of the jeans I will cut out and weave together and make funky bags. <br />

Family and friends started donating their old jeans to me, and now I've made many projects with denim, including a quilt (a gift: Thanks for the picture D.), hot 'plates', coasters and even a computer case (unsuccessfully).<br />

It's a heavy fabric, and can be a pain to sew the thick seams, but I enjoy the results more. And the fact that my old favourite jeans can still be used.

Guess what? I number-crunched my very own half-circle skirt! It was not as complicated as it sounds, though, I did enjoy math as a kid. I will <b>try </b>to explain without making it too complicated...<br />
<br />
I measured my waist (plus 2 inches) for the half-inner circle; only half the circle is my whole waist measurement. And then doubled it to get a whole circle's circumference.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RQCXKLYGsEk/UCQGuxyO07I/AAAAAAAAARk/IlxpH8TXHZw/s1600/Skirt+Pattern.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RQCXKLYGsEk/UCQGuxyO07I/AAAAAAAAARk/IlxpH8TXHZw/s400/Skirt+Pattern.png" width="400" /></a></div>
Then using the handy-dandy formula C=2πr, I calculated the radius of the waist and made a small circle with that radius from paper (inner circle in diagram). I folded the small circle in half and decided on the length of the skirt. I measured the length from the edge of the half-circle and drew another larger circle, cut the smaller circle away, and there it was: my very own, made-for-me, pattern.<br />
<br />
The waist band was two long rectangles. I attached them to the slightly gathered skirt-waist by sandwiching the skirt between the waist pieces (right sides facing in), stitching, folding them up and hand stitching the top edge (I didn't want any top stitching to show).<br />

I added a lining using the same (but shorter) pattern out of a lightweight white cotton and inserted an invisible zipper. Hand stitching the hem took awhile because of the rounded edge of the skirt, but I enjoyed several Olympic track events and some swimming.<br />

A striped <a href="http://blog.mariadenmark.com/?p=875" target="_blank">Kirsten kimono t-shirt</a> for the summer! This is a simple free pattern from <a href="http://blog.mariadenmark.com/" target="_blank">Maria Denmark</a>, and I am so in love with this shirt! We've had some very humid days this past week and this shirt was very light and super cool to wear.<br />

The pattern consists of a front and a back. That's it! Unless you decide to bind the neckline (which I did not) so it went together very fast. I used my double needle to top stitch the hem, sleeve and neck lines for a nice simple finish.<br />

Check out <a href="http://scruffybadgertime.co.uk/2012/07/another-kimono-t-shirt/" target="_blank">Scruffy Badger</a>'s site to find many versions of this shirt. I especially love the birds-on-a-line version. I hope to get a chance to make a few more, but first I need to go in search of some knits. I am thinking I may try to add thick sleeve bindings on my next one...not sure how that would turn out on a kimono style shirt...<br />

I fell in love with this material as soon as I saw it. And it's quilting cotton. (Tilly has a great post on sewing with quilting cotton, <a href="http://www.tillyandthebuttons.com/2012/07/sewing-clothing-with-quilting-cotton.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I loved the colours, the stripes and even the price. Until the clerk cut the fabric and gave me the bill... um... definitely more than I was planning to spend per yard. The fabric was not labeled clearly enough... the real price was hidden beneath the fabric in the bolt. I loved it anyways, but the pressure was now on to make a great dress!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3hZrqAeNpBg/UALf6lnh20I/AAAAAAAAAPk/83cxUean3wg/s1600/IMG_2278.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3hZrqAeNpBg/UALf6lnh20I/AAAAAAAAAPk/83cxUean3wg/s400/IMG_2278.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So I started with sketches. I couldn't figure out how I wanted the stripes to lie originally, and I also had to figure out how cutting the pattern out would affect the way the stripes matched up later. <br />
Stripes are not easy to sew with. Surprise! Oh, didn't you know? Matching the stripes on the circle skirt wasn't too bad, it's when it came time to add darts to the bodice that I was the most concerned. Thankfully, with a very helping mother to help with fit, we were able to puzzle out this dress.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The pattern was adapted from one my sister passed down to me from a beautiful dress she made herself for a wedding! It must be that kind of dress. I love the full circle skirt; it's so much fun to dance in and twirl in, but watch out for those breezes!<br />

I added a keyhole to the back of the bodice with a button made by my sister. I really wanted to find a way to display the button, and as long as I wear my hair up, I think I've been successful. It's a wooden button cut from a branch from an old walnut tree from my Grandmother's backyard. Even more special.<br />

Well, after all the worry about fit and stripes, the only concern I had on the days I wore the dress were... wrinkles. Darn. Cotton wrinkles when you sit on it.<br />

Easy-peasy! I just tried the pants on, marked them and then cut at the desired length.<br />

I did add slits on each leg just about 2 inches long to add extra movement to the legs. I seem ripped up to where I wanted and then pinned the new hem in place to hold it. I did reinforce the bottom of the seem on the side leg just to prevent any unwanted seem ripping. I used a golden heavy weight jean thread to top stitch the cuffs and the slits like traditional jeans. I used bright red thread to top stitch the top of the slits to add a colour top stitching detail which copies a similar original detail on the bum pockets.<br />

A fairly easy upcycling project for a new pair of pants and I've already gotten a lot of wear out of them. Maybe one day I'll share my rediculous jean collection with you...and no...they are not found in my wardrobe. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657251674185084637.post-33238869933234113722012-06-12T10:02:00.000-04:002012-07-03T20:42:24.451-04:00In the mean time...I promise I'm alive still. I have just started back at school and I am learning a balance between school, rest and sewing. As much as I love my craft times, I don't find starting new projects a relaxing activity. I enjoy the process, but I've learned that it's better to start something new with a fresh set of eyes and a brain free of <a href="http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/robnroll/robnroll0905/robnroll090500015/4792745-symbolic-picture-for-gobbledygook.jpg" target="_blank">gobbledygook </a>so I can properly understand the instructions.<br />
That all said, I do have a few projects on the go, and two new remnant bin finds for future <a href="http://sewsquirrel.blogspot.ca/2012/04/using-up-old-scraps.html">Sorbettos</a>, or variations there of.<br />

Well, one of them. I have made a few, but sadly, forgotten to take
photos before giving them away. This one I made using lots of scraps
from my quilting fabrics, remnant bin finds and some really fun prints
that were a birthday present. I did buy the bright blue and the orange
striped cotton to bring the whole blanket together.<br />

Instead of traditional quilting, intricate hand-sewn (or machine) patterns, or even my usual machine sewn rows, I decided to hand quilt the outlines of the small animals across the blanket. It worked out very nicely, and was a great lap project for a few long car rides in the passenger seat. Hopefully the young gift-recipient will enjoy the blanket just as much as I enjoyed making it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657251674185084637.post-47432766470523091282012-05-14T19:58:00.000-04:002012-07-03T20:40:24.171-04:00My very own Darling...I have been slowly been making a sleevless version of the <a href="http://megannielsen.com/collections/sewing-patterns/products/darling-ranges-dress-sewing-pattern">Darling Ranges</a> dress...and tada...here it is!

I had every intention of altering the pattern for this version so that the neck line didn't dip so low, but I guess I was too excited and I forgot until after the whole front was traced and cut. Next time...<br />

I made buttons holes for only the top 4 buttons (I figured this out by using my <a href="http://sewsquirrel.blogspot.ca/2012/04/best-gifts-are-handmade.html" target="_blank">brown D.R.</a> dress and checking which buttons I had left undone the last time I had worn it), saving lots of time and sanity. I also attached all of the buttons by machine...I forget where I read about it...but wow... Great tip!<br />

And because I thought it would be fun, the hem is finished with lace on
the inside of the skirt. :) Next up... I have some jeans I am going to
try to refashion and fit.<br />

But first...a hilarious shot of me trying to spread some dandelion seeds. Harhar.<br />

I decided to give the v-neck a try; still working on getting the stretch just right...the neck band is a little bit floppy. I really wanted all the bands (neck, waist and arms) to have opposing stripes, so I cut them against the stretch of the fabric...and the waist band is the only one that is a tad bit tight. I even stitched in a ribbon on the inside back neck seem to help distinguish the back from the front (though with a v-neck it isn't as hard to do). Same sizing as my <a href="http://sewsquirrel.blogspot.ca/2012/04/shirt-to-make-my-sister-jealous.html">earlier Renfrew</a> top.<br />

Tres excitant! My first one was made from a self-drafted pattern I copied from a favourite shirt: and the pattern worked out great. The problem was I didn't know yet that the stretchy part of the material needed to stretch horizontally to help when putting on the shirt, but even more importantly (as I have learned) so it doesn't sag off your shoulders.<br />

This was a shirt I made in one day too! The <a href="http://www.sewaholicpatterns.com/product/1201-renfrew-top">Renfrew </a>top from <a href="http://sewaholic.net/">Sewaholic</a>. Everything, from pattern tracing, to cutting, sewing, unpicking, and sewing again. Amazing. I even used my twin needle for the first time (that took a lot of practicing to get the stitches and tension to work out correctly).<br />

I still find knit material challenging. I had to weigh down the fabric with anything heavy I could grab my hands on and I'm still perfecting the neck band and stretching it.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

I made a few changes to the pattern, the first was shortening the <span style="font-size: 85%;">3/4</span> length sleeves by <span style="font-size: 130%;">1</span> <span style="font-size: 85%;">3/4</span> inches and the second was not basting the neck, arm and waist bands before attaching them. I couldn't figure out how to baste them and still keep them stretchy enough to fit the main torso of the top. Oh, and I used a size 4 arms, size 6 at the top of the front, and size 2 everywhere else. I feel pretty happy with the fit.<br />

It's made from an old button-up blouse of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">her's</span> that she never wore because she says she didn't like the fit. So she saved the material and I snatched it up for this project. I inserted an invisible zipper on the side (I find my <a href="http://sewsquirrel.blogspot.ca/2012/04/using-up-old-scraps.html">blue-plaid <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Sorbetto</span></a> is tricky enough to put on without)...and even though it's bright pink...you can't see it! :) The back of the top has an inverted pleat (opposite from the front).<br />

I was able to make this <a href="http://www.coletterie.com/colette-patterns-news/free-pattern-to-download-the-sorbetto-top">Sorbetto </a>from a blue plaid shirting cotton (I think). It's very thin, so I doubled the bias tape (bright!) on the bottom. My muslin was too short, so I added a strip on the bottom with the plaid on the bias. That's my favourite part actually. I also lowered the bust darts, which were too high to start. I followed a <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/techniques/moving-a-bust-dart">tutorial </a>on BurdaStyle for this, but only lowered them on the final version...oops...too low now. I cut out a size 4 on top and tappered down to a 0 on the bottom (!). I find it very hard to believe that that is a true size 0.<br />

I had to cut down the amount of fabric at the waist because I didn't have enough. My pleats are just smaller. Though I've played with invisible zippers lots, this was my fisrt 'real' zipper. Easy-peasy. (But I've learned backwards, right?). Any ideas on how to get the pleasts to fall more naturally?<br />

I say that in quotations because I have yet to hem it. The thing is... it's not my favourite. Why did I ever think wearing anything in a stretchy polyester would be my thing?<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nieJKNKNtGI/T4RdFximJLI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9x21W5fVZc0/s1600/IMG_2326.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729806979701286066" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nieJKNKNtGI/T4RdFximJLI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9x21W5fVZc0/s320/IMG_2326.JPG" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="240" /></a>Though sewing this top was very straight forward, there are a few things I have done wrong.<br />
<br />
Firstly, I have made the wrong size; I'm pretty sure about this. There is too much fabric around the waist and the back, even for a tucked in top: I like things more closely fitted. I still have no idea if I should be attempting an FBA on some patterns. It seems like a lot of work.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9hlRpL328A8/T4RemwNUDjI/AAAAAAAAAIk/_EXa1TTAgAQ/s1600/IMG_2322.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729808645790895666" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9hlRpL328A8/T4RemwNUDjI/AAAAAAAAAIk/_EXa1TTAgAQ/s200/IMG_2322.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 150px;" /></a></div>
Secondly: wrong choice of material. Even though I was trying to upcycle an old dress...the lining was a lining for a reason. It's stretchy, thick, and does not iron flat. Actually, none of seems are flat. Lesson learned. Choose cottons. I like cottons.<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">

Third: there are too many ruffles for me. I should've listened to my sister...but the other tops I've seen look so great. Well, maybe I'll try the bell sleeve next time.<br />

It's like having an expert right there teaching you, and then I can read all the comments and prepare myself for mishaps before they happen. (And I like that a lot...as a newish clothing sewer I pick out a lot of stitches). I am surprised at how quickly this top is coming together.<br /><br />Oh, and I do realize that the actual sew-along happened awhile ago, but I can still follow along, right? :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657251674185084637.post-89467409696189828402012-03-11T19:07:00.016-04:002012-07-03T20:31:48.700-04:00It all started with a jacket...I am a fan of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upcycling"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">up-cycling</span></a>. Sometimes it works, sometimes I learn and sometimes, if I'm lucky, I'll gain a 'new' piece of clothing. Well it was the jacket that got me started on all of this. I wanted a nice jacket to wear, but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">being</span> a saver I went and searched the racks at the thrift store. I found this:<br />

Slippery little buggers.<br />

The fabric I chose is the bright red and yellow floral print (my partner says it reminds him of <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_BdvTvMU4Ig/Tb8tV393npI/AAAAAAAAALc/vhHq7UsSI1s/s1600/fresh+prince.jpg">Fresh Prince</a>). I just think the plain grey jacket needs a little <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">pizazz</span>. :)<br />

I was able to machine sew the whole jacket in except the sides, which I hand stitched. With all this warm weather I've been able to wear the jacket all winter, it's a bit snug, so I can't wear any thick sweatshirts underneath. The hood is still lined with the old lining, I'm not sure <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">whether</span> to replace it. And how about those buttons, replacing them might be tricky. Ideas?<br />
