I’m so sorry for not posting in a while. This is my last week of freedom before school starts, so I’ve been sewing like a mad woman. I’ve been working on a bunch of stuff for my Etsy shop that’ll be opening on September 13th…why September 13th you ask? Because it was the first day that popped into my head. Haha. I’m really excited about it!
I made this dress yesterday out of cream jersey knit that I got at Wal-mart for just a $1 a yard!! I was so happy, I’m in love with knits…although my sewing machine isn’t too keen on them. The dress is shred in the middle and has an open lace back, but you can’t really tell in the photos. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. I had a lot of fun with this photo shoot! The woods felt so magical and pretty….it was like I was in Neverland….but that feeling quickly went away once I thought I saw a snake….shivers. Haha. Hope you have a great day. I will be posting more often - I promise.

Hey Esther,
ReplyDeletenice blog! My name is Jo and I work in the fashion industry here in the U.K. I'm predominantly obsessed with the technical issue of fashion: patterning, construction, technical drawing and the like...you say in this entry about loving jersey but your machine hating it- there can be ways to trick a domestic machine into sewing stretch fabrics such as sewing with an only very slightly offset zig zag or purchasing a silicone tape which is placed on each seam's sewing line to keep the fabric to the correct measurement and preventing stretch/shrinkage. you could also try sewing through tissue paper which is a trick we use to tame all sorts of tricky fabrics such as georgette and jersey. Can you see how the side seam in pic 4 the side seam is puckering: this method would help avoid this. You can also buy a thread that stretches. Your other option is to construct the garment entirely on an overlocker (or is it called a serger in the U.S?) This does make unpicking mistakes a little lengthier and as it trims the seam allowance as it sews it can add an element of danger to construction-fine if you want to make the garment smaller but disastrous if you want to go out again: but hey! live life on the edge! (I avoid this problem in my personal sewing by giving myself a bigger seam allowance, sewing side seam, trying on for fit and then resewing if required.)
Anyway this advice in no way detracts from my initial comment of "wonderful blog" and keep up the good work and is more indicative of my anal attention to garment construction.
Best regards,
Jo
all gorgeous!!! x
