In the wardrobe / Red corduroy trousers
« on: August 21, 2023, 13:40:02 PM »
I am slowly working on these and have mentioned them in the Sewing Club but didn't start a thread here, I am using McCalls 6901 which I have used many times. So now the leg seams are tacked ready for a check of the fit, my weight and body shape (tummy) have been fluctuating lately but I am sure they will be ok as there is a bit of stretch in the fabric. Lovely bright red corduroy.

In the wardrobe / Summer dress New Look 6341 View C

I cut this out a few weeks ago  but have made a start on the bodice and lining. The cotton lawn is really light and summery.

Fun with Fabric / Summer fabrics
« on: March 12, 2023, 11:13:09 AM »
Both my parcels came yesterday, the spriggy cotton lawn for a summer dress and black floral jersey for a top from Croft Mill and the other two jersey fabrics from Minerva for a top and pyjamas maybe.

In the wardrobe / Chambray skirt Vogue 8750
« on: February 16, 2023, 11:38:00 AM »
I got this skirt cut out this morning with a lot of huffing and puffing and juggling of pattern pieces but it is done.  My back is protesting so I'll have a walk round the block in a while. The fabric is a lilac chambray which feels  really summery, I am making view E.

In the wardrobe / Another easy A line skirt
« on: January 06, 2023, 10:23:46 AM »
Waiting for the lining to be delivered. This is the wool mix tweed fabric, I have just cut a length off for a matching scarf and have frayed the edges to make a fringe.  Bits all over the floor now!

Finally I have ordered some fabric for a dressing gown, it is a cotton, viscose and polyester jacquard, royal blue ground with large gold, pink, blue and green leaves, rather showy but what the heck   0_0

I have used this kimono style pattern before and it is an easy make. It'll be a Christmas present to me from me.

In the wardrobe / Royal blue A line skirt
« on: September 29, 2022, 14:21:02 PM »
Making progress with this corduroy skirt, just the hems to do. Here is a photo of a rather ordinary skirt but I like plain unfussy clothes. It is a lovely rich colour.

In the wardrobe / Purple wool crepe skirt Vogue 1703
« on: September 17, 2022, 16:34:29 PM »
I cut out this skirt today and found some suitable thread but will need to get a dark purple zip.

I made a toile earlier this year in cotton lawn and it looked OK, the fabric was a bit too lightweight, the wool crepe will be better.

In the wardrobe / Purple raglan sleeved tunic
« on: August 29, 2022, 11:04:07 AM »
I've made a start and the tunic sits well on  Mimi's shoulders and bust, I'm going to add a roll/cowl neck and I have slimmed down the side seams. This is the neck pinned in place.

Fun with Fabric / Tencel sweater knit
« on: August 14, 2022, 11:50:50 AM »
I have ordered some mauve Tencel sweater knit to make a raglan sleeved tunic style top with McCalls 7122. I haven't sewn with this fabric before. Are there any peculiarities about how it behaves? Thanks in advance for any advice.

In the wardrobe / Grey needlecord trousers
« on: August 03, 2022, 14:31:22 PM »
I cut out the trousers this morning and have used a contrast cotton lawn for the pocket and the waist facing. I used good old favourite McCalls 6901 but I prefer a centre back zip to a fly front and waist facing rather than a waistband.

I need to get some grey thread but I have probably got a suitable zip somewhere.

In the wardrobe / Cream top in Sienna crepe
« on: June 07, 2022, 16:22:54 PM »
The fabric arrived yesterday! Good service from Minerva and Royal Mail.
Cut this top out using  New Look 6483 View A  it is a simple semi fitted top. The crepe was so slippery to handle, I'm afraid the air was blue at times  :D.  I'll do french seams to make it neat. I've ordered some beige habotai lining for the gold skirt and also some purple for the wool crepe I bought to make the Vogue 1703 skirt.

Cut out this easy make this morning, the lawn is really fine and silk like, using New Look 6053.

In the wardrobe / Pyjamas for me
« on: May 11, 2022, 15:30:08 PM »
This is the cotton jersey fabric for the pyjama top and I have some pink jersey on its way from Minerva for the bottoms. An easy make so no furrowed brows.
