https://sewingjapanese.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/join-the-metric-measurement-cult
Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. Join the Metric Measurement Cult. July 24, 2015. July 26, 2015. Japan, like most of the world, uses the metric system. So for sewing patterns, you get seam allowances of 1 cm instead of 3/8 inch. That’s nice. Can do. It’s part of the whole cult experience. I called it an inch and got on with my life. Remember, the Doomsday Clock is ticking ticking ticking. Japanese sewing pattern books. Then Straight-cut Tiered Skirt Is for You!

Rotary Cutting Joy | Sewing Japanese
https://sewingjapanese.wordpress.com/2015/07/26/rotary-cutting-joy
Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. July 26, 2015. I am so glad I busted out the quilting rotary cutter and rulers for my Straight-cut Tiered Skirt. I am getting the “straight-cut” happy vibe from “Happy Homemade Sew Chic” (or maybe that’s just the Kool-Aid talking)…. Anyway, straight cut pattern pieces may leave you with boxy garments, but there’s no arguing with efficiency. I cut this skirt out in less than an hour. Happy Homemade Sew Chic. For indulging my fads.

Love Math? Then Straight-cut Tiered Skirt Is for You! | Sewing Japanese
https://sewingjapanese.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/love-math-then-straight-cut-tiered-skirt-is-for-you
Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. Then Straight-cut Tiered Skirt Is for You! July 20, 2015. The Straight-cut Tiered Skirt pattern in Happy Homemade Sew Chic is not really a pattern at all. It’s more like a set of blueprints to build a skirt:. There are NO pattern pieces. Basically, you measure out and cut a bunch of rectangles according to specific mathematical measurements, sew them together, just so and…. voila! Tier B is 8 or 8.25 inches (20 or 21 cm). Enter ...

Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. Just Ain’t Fitting. August 11, 2015. August 11, 2015. To make the Straight-cut Tiered Skirt from Happy Homemade Sew Chic all floaty and cute, you not only cut and sew three tiers of skirts. You also. The tiers to varying degrees as you assemble the skirt. Sounds easy, eh? That’s what we call putting 10 pounds of shit into a 5-pound bag. So, it’s off to the store for some heavy-duty thread to make those gathers. Dammit. I am impr...

Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. Revenge of the Fugly Pants. June 2, 2016. I think my misbegotten pants must have heard I was trashing them on Thursday blog, because they got their revenge. While I was zipping up the pants after a bathroom break, the zipper made a break for it:. Did I mention I was at work? I held up the pants, saying a thank you for the long blouse I was wearing, walked to my desk and fished out a safety pin. The Last of Me-Made May. A lot of ...

Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. Damn You, Skirt! August 15, 2015. August 16, 2015. I’m beginning to think the Straight-cut Tiered Skirt. Is cursed. Actually, I know it is. I am just trying at this point to ward off superstition. Can’t belong to. Cults at the same time. I spent an eternity picking out all the gathering threads. Then I cut down the big bottom tier to the size of the underskirt and stated to sew. I felt so happy, finally moving forward! You are c...

Tier Time | Sewing Japanese
https://sewingjapanese.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/tier-time
Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. August 6, 2015. I haven’t seen this many tiers on anything since I went to my cousin’s big fat Italian wedding a few years ago. The skirt goes together like a building schematic more than like a piece of clothing. The underskirt holds some of the tiers. The whole thing rolls up into a waistband. Time to get building! Happy Homemade Sew Chic. Japanese sewing pattern books. I Could Use a Serger Right Now.

Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. I Could Use a Serger Right Now. August 10, 2015. August 10, 2015. The Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult doesn’t own a serger, sad to say. We get by just fine with a Sears brand sewing machine from a garage sale. Yep. Sigh Still, here are the tiers, all assembled and ready for the next step:. At the top is the over skirt, made of cotton lawn, and then baby tier, mama tier and daddy tier at the bottom.

No Spun Polyester! Ever! | Sewing Japanese
https://sewingjapanese.wordpress.com/2015/07/19/no-spun-polyester-ever
Exploring the Japanese Hippie Doomsday Cult look with Japanese sewing books. July 19, 2015. July 19, 2015. Happy Homemade Sew Chic includes only one skirt pattern, which seems odd to me, since skirts are so easy to make. Anyway, what the book lacks in volume it more than makes up for in interest. Anyone seen a skirt like this, on anyone, ever? It’s called Straight-cut Tiered Skirt. And it’s fascinating. Here’s the pattern description:. 8220;Three-tiered frill, appears difficult. I bought 3.5 yards (3...
