Moulds are used: Vogue in 2752 (see details in previous articles, where I showed the cast and set the pants) Photos of me to use the jacket (click here). Description: semi-jacket just really interlinings, shoulder pads lead, has a daughter line, stand up collar, wide sleeves to ¾ and compression springs. I found a very beautiful model, with some oriental inspiration.
Changes: There were two things I did different from the instructions: buckram also visible to the front (not sure why, were the only piece that did not lead stabilizer) and slightly modified the position of the pressure springs, adding one above (the original only takes two springs at the waist). By the way, I used the stabilizer was thermo-adhesive mesh thin, a very flexible and light stabilizer. The intention was that the jacket does not get too structured. Oh, and also added a chain to hang.
Conclusion: A project with many parts and labor to unite, but in my opinion it was worth the work (as a result of long hours sewing got a good back pain). Together with his pants, and chic as a fact, but these pieces can also use separately, in less formal groups. I liked to see the jacket with belt, but can also be used simply, or even a tone voile scarf tied behind dark salmon (here reminiscent of Angelina Jolie in the movie "The Tourist"). To use my photos are already on the jacket Tany et la Mode (click here). Take care!
Pattern: Vogue 2752 (pattern details are published on my previous post) Were Outfit pictures published here. Description (from the pattern envelope): Semi-fitted, fully interfaced, lined jacket has shoulder pads, princess seams, raised neckline, back collar, three-quarter length sleeves and snap closures ball. In my opinion this is a beautiful and interesting pattern.
Alterations: none to the pattern but I diverged from the Instructions on two points: I interfaced Also facing the front (I do not know why, but this is in the Instructions Which is the only piece not interfaced, it did not make sense to me, so I interfaced it as well). Also I changed the placement of the pressure snaps and added another one just above the two That Are Placed at waist level. By the way, I used thin knit fusible interfacing, The Same I usually use for blouses and silk fabrics. The goal was and Stability Providing some structure to the fabric without the stiffening jacket. Oh, and I Also added a hanging chain to loop back the collar facing.
Conclusion: It was a work intensive project but the end result was worth it (I ended up HAVING Also some back pain in consequence of spending too many hours in a row ... it was just sewing a busy weekend after all, * smile *). Wearing the suit to complete the office is Perhaps too much, but Both jacket and pants will get plenty of wear separates the! I really love the jacket with the belt, but it works Also single. Also Could I wear it with a dark belt of the salmon voile scarf, tied on the back (channeling Angelina Jolie in The Tourist, she wears the most amazing wardrobe in That movie, do not you think?). Pictures of me wearing the jacket are Already up (click here). Have a wonderful day!
Salmon pink flared pants (V2752)
Description: Pants with mouth-to-bell long enough in the original have a very marked waist with interior view and close to the invisible hand. I cut the size 12, but extending slightly at the waist.
Changes: When you look at the views from the waist I found abnormally curved, a sign that the waist would be very close in relation to the hip. I decided to replace the views by a narrow waist, with two points to tie.
The production went smoothly only by changing the process of making the waistband. The finishing of the margins were made with cuts and dices (less the seam of the hook, the point where I prefer to use the edges edging sewing machine, because the skirt is round and is more difficult to obtain precise curves with cut-and dices). You can see the hems sewn by hand in the following photo:
Conclusion: Muto satisfied with the result and I think that the change in waist gave a more modern touch! Then I try to make the jacket in the same fabric to keep the whole fact! When you can post pictures on my blog the wardrobe!)Thank you all for visiting!
Falda Portefeuille
Description: long skirt cut "envelope" of round, fully lined and slightly raised waist-adjusted clips. The edges of the front, side seams and waist are adorned with handmade consecutive points. Mold used: template designed and tested by the methods of traditional haute couture, made by Paco Peralta. The template is available for sale here)
Fabric: Linen dark turquoise (1.8 m) and blue lining.Before showing the details, I want to thank the warm praise for the exhibition Couture et Tricot, which I believe was a success. This exhibition was born in the context of an initiative of the office of communication and image of the PT Innovation, which aims to disseminate and promote the hobbies of its employees. Most of the exhibits were shown here, including Orwell's coat (black and white) has been extensively documented, was the debut of this blog project. The sewing machine was loaned to help create a singing style sewing workshop, I believe it was the perfect prop. To all, THANK YOU! Continuing with the skirt, the seemingly simple model contains very elaborate detail, both in court as in the making. I cut the size M and the only change I made was omitting the center back seam, cutting back into the fold (discounting the values included in the mold seam). The template contains spare parts for the lining and views, and everything fits perfectly. I chose to completely close the lining and sewing it to the hem. The preparation is not complicated, here's a summary of the steps I followed: 1 - Treating fabrics by washing them in a program very slight and passing the steam iron to shrink the shrink who have 2 - copy the template and cut pieces of fabric and lining (should always check the measurements of our body with the mold, if necessary to make a model of evidence) 3 - Cut and apply the iron interlinings (thinnest mesh gusset for "underlining" that is, slight strengthening of the front and back, which helps stabilize and reduce wrinkle fabric, woven interlining slightly stronger for the sights and views of the waist edges of the front) 4 - Skip all the markings of the template for the pieces of cloth fabric with basting 5 - Start making sewing clamps in both pieces of fabric as the lining, lay the iron clamps to the center (you can tack the clamps and the side seams of the skirt panels for an initial test, before sewing the machine) 6 - Sew the side seams (in the cloth of her skirt, in rags and in view of the lining of the waist); based values for the back seam on the skirt, forward the views of the waist, taking care to scale the margins sewing; iron open the side seams of the liner) 7 - Sew the edges of the front view of the liner, with attention to the bottom corner, which should contain a fold of the surplus liner, lay the liner towards the margins 8 - Sew the lining to the waist views / views of the edges, so complete is the inner layer of the skirt 9 - Coser points accrued by hand with twine line along the side seam of the skirt (the outer layer of finish) 10 - Attach the skirt to the lining / seen only by the waist seam, finished in the corner (not the values of cross stitching side). Becoming the margins of sight towards the waist, climbing close to the seam stitching and side view 11 - Turn off the lining, right against right and close the seams of the front edges. Climb the edges and do not forget to hit along the edges rounded; unite the end of the view from the rim to the edge of the back hem of the skirt (attention, you need to trim the corners and iron the seams open to reduce the volume of these seams ) 12 - Turn everything to the right, tack and lay the iron and hem the edges ago 13 - Sew the hem of the skirt back to the hand, also hand-sew the hem of the skirt lining to the hem of her skirt, thus completely closing the liner 14 - point run with twine Sew along the edge of the front and waist 15 - Feather spring pressure and apply it to the waistband in the front center line 16 - Sew the hooks right on the edge of the front and placing the edge of the skirt, so as not to be visible More pictures of the skirt:
The brackets and the spring pressure lined:
Conclusion: It was a great pleasure to complete another piece based on a template Paco. I'm sincere, I do not usually wear skirts this long, but I loved this particular one and I think it suits me very well (show here). As already pointed out in his article, Paco was inspired by some models of vintage Yves Saint Laurent when he created this model and later found that the house Yves Saint Laurent, probably inspired by the same models in their past, recreated the same lines (see examples here and here). I think the skirts of this kind will see a lot, especially the next season, basing myself in the most recent readings of the upcoming trends for this outcome. I hope you enjoyed this adventure but sewing!
Tomato red sailor pants
We've been wanting this type pants for a long time and finally found the combination model-tissue color that matched my vision. To see me using the pants, click here. Original model: Journal Patrones No 289, model 33 - Trousers sailor style wide-waist rise, front buttoned, strip tie back, pockets put into the seams and hems stitched, and in my interpretation also stitch the waist high in the same way that the sheaths, and added side panels (by necessity and not by choice).
Cut Size: Size 42 (between 40 and 44 of the magazine) (equivalent to 38 of Burda)
Changes: This model did not go well at first. Too confident in the table of measures and early experiences withPatrones pants, I was not measuring the mold. The truth is that the pants had almost finished when the evidence and came to the sad conclusion that I could not shake. The first thing that crossed my mind was forthe pants again, maybe buy some at a shop (he had seen a similar sale). Then I thought I'd make them again,extending the mold. I was trying to get the same tissue, but had exhausted ... finally decided to break up the pants of each side and sew strips of fabric that had just left (I had to cut the strips across the width of the fabric, since little was left). Of course it was not a simple task: I had to unpick the stitching the waistband, pockets, and side seams, but in the end could make the pants and serve resulted. The cops just took stabilizeron top, with a width of twice the view of the waistband, so they are sewn to the side seams of the trousersand the sights in one seam. The pockets had to be almost completely redone. He gave me a lot of work, but I think it was worth, and like most of these lines of pants that I saw in the store.
details:
Front and back:
The button openings are perhaps the most challenging part of this project. The method reminded me of the construction of an opening sleeve quickened, except here the living is much higher. The mold has a sort of clamp where it will remain open. Reinforced stitching with a machine before cutting the opening and reinforced with a square of the vertex stabilizer, the rest follow the methodology explained in the instructions. I had no time to document the process and do not advise this model for beginners.
Conclusion: A model not easy, that made me go round to the head and almost quit when I discovered that the size was not correct ... But with some perseverance overcome this obstacle and I was very pleased with the outcome. With my lack of time it took me almost three weeks to have these pants ready ... Things should improve in terms of time there to the middle of next week, since it'll take a few days away. Later photos show you in the pants on my other blog I can see me using the pants here. Take care!See you guys next time, thanks for visiting!
