So what you you think? Is this style dated? It’s from 1994. I still really like it. This has been in my stash for maybe 10 years. Back in the 90′s I would have made it from slinky, fortunately today’s knits have the same great drape without slinky’s weight and tendency to [...]
This is the first Butterick pattern I’ve done in years, which is strange because when I was young Butterick was my favorite Big 4 line; they had really great fashion forward looks. If you don’t believe me just go onto any vintage pattern site and look at 60′s and 70′s Buttericks. [...] There was no way I could resist the new Hot Patterns Boudoir of Bliss collection. Trudy has definitely tapped into a pent up demand for lingerie patterns, which are woefully underrepresented in home sewing. I go to the lingerie section of the Big 4 every season only to see the same 5 patterns [...] copyright 2009 Lindsay T Sews Again When Lindsay blogged about these faux-tortoise giant snaps I fell in love! Then I noticed in the Latest 8/2009 Burda Style that they would be really great on jacket #119. So I called Pacific Trimming, emailed them the photo and they did an order. Its been about two years since I’ve [...] For some reason I’ve made plenty of Burda World of Fashion patterns over the years, but I have never made up one of their envelope patterns. Another thing I never realized until yesterday is that Jo-Ann’s discounts Burda 40% every day just like the Big 4.

So the machine is on its way to Neverett’s in Nashua NH and I’ll just have to get it back before I can finish my coat. But here [...] #gallery-1 { Today I put together a quick muslin for my trench coat; this is a 14 and the back and front bodice pieces were each narrowed 1/2 inch. McCall’s sloper seems to have the same wide back and shoulder as [...] I decided to go with a single layer layout, and when I do these I just sort of eyeball how I want the fabric pattern to look. I also do them right side up so I can get my head around how the fabric will look will look in the finished garment. The left side is a cut [...] Selvage Runs Left to Right Selvage Runs Top to Bottom After cleaning up my sewing room I wasn’t in the mood to cut out a new pattern, so I grabbed my Tried-N-True Hot Patterns Plain & Simple Shirtdress, which I’ll make up in the short sleeve version in this sunny designer cotton from [...] Last week at lunch I was in the Filene’s Basment store on Highland Ave, in Newton, Mass. and I bought this dress, it was one of those love-at-first-sight things. This store is a gold mine of designer fashions, although this $35 dress is by no means made from great materials, its got some good things going for [...] |
