London border print tunic. Earlier this year I was influenced by a MacCulloch and Wallis. Email purchasing almost instantaneously their London Border print cotton poplin. The pattern is Butterick B6172. View B. I made my usual changes for a full bust and forward shoulder. These labels are the perfect design for me....

Creates Sew Slow: October 2016
https://createssoslow.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 October 2016. So nearly four years after starting this blog I am writing my first post. I have just attended my second Design Outside the Lines retreat in Ashland, Oregon, USA with Diane Ericson and guest teacher Marla Kazell. This has provided sufficient impetus for me to finish setting up my blog and write something. Is this the start of something or a one hit wonder? Only time will tell. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Creates Sew Slow: 2016 sewing retrospective - knit tops
https://createssoslow.blogspot.com/2017/01/2016-sewing-retrospective-knit-tops.html
Sunday, 1 January 2017. 2016 sewing retrospective - knit tops. Some of these were made for our trip back to the UK in May and I had the foolish idea that pictures could be taken of them out in the wild but it never happened. Others went to the States in October but still no pictures. Shirt tail hem variation. And here are the other versions. Long sleeve pattern variation. Original pattern in a Liberty cotton jersey. Not enough fabric - add a sleeve cuff. Left over red ponte with sleeve cuff. And a couple...

Creates Sew Slow: 2016 sewing retrospective - woven tops
https://createssoslow.blogspot.com/2017/01/2016-sewing-retrospective-woven-tops.html
Saturday, 7 January 2017. 2016 sewing retrospective - woven tops. In doing these sewing retrospective posts as well as being surprised by how much I managed to sew last year I also noticed just how little sewing from years past is visible in my wardrobe. But those garments that are still in my wardrobe have been repeated or will be repeated in 2017. So on to the woven tops. Swirler top by Starfish. This top is a modification to the Starfish Swirler dress from the book Home Sewn. For these garments I lowe...

Creates Sew Slow: 2016 sewing retrospective - dresses
https://createssoslow.blogspot.com/2017/01/2016-sewing-retrospective-dresses.html
Tuesday, 3 January 2017. 2016 sewing retrospective - dresses. I am just discovering dresses as an alternative to a skirt and top. The proportions of my tops are very rarely right for my skirt so a dress is an easier option. Most of my tops are bought or made to go with trousers so are often too long to wear with a knee length skirt. First is a knit dress using a self-assembled pattern from Silhouette Patterns. The second version is a Liberty Lantana an 80/20 cotton-wool blend and the pattern is a huge fa...

Creates Sew Slow: Vogue 1250 Meandering Chrysanthemums
https://createssoslow.blogspot.com/2017/01/vogue-1250-meandering-chrysanthemums.html
Saturday, 14 January 2017. Vogue 1250 Meandering Chrysanthemums. The first garment of 2017 - presenting Vogue 1250, the ubiquitous DKNY knit dress made and loved by sewers around the world. This is a re-make that went together much more easily than the original and without reference to the pattern instructions which seem to have absconded with the pixies. For some reason the bra shows in the photos but it doesn't in real life. A Liberty of London print this time purchased from Shaukat. So it fell just be...

Sewing, knitting and making Journal. A New Denim Moss Etc. Flat Bias Faced Necklines →. Making Stuff & The Great Closet Cleanout of 2015. July 29, 2015. As I mentioned in my previous post, I cleaned out a pretty hefty chunk of my wardrobe over the previous weekend. Living in a 500sq ft space with another person, I try to keep my possessions semi-pared down, but occasionally things start to build up, and usually, those things are clothes. I asked on Instagram. With the into-mind workbook. Phew, a bit of a...
