Catalog Sunday
This Sunday I have pages from a Butterick embroidery catalog. I'm thinking its mid 30s.
No specific date.
Bathing suit Conclusion: I'm ready for fun in the sun!
Good morning everyone! As I head out for Viva today, I wanted to show you all the final of the swim suit! I Even had time to make a little cover up and the hat.
Bathing Suit Pt 4: Constructing a real suit.
After two mock ups I'm finally starting on the real suit and I'm excited!
Viva is just under two weeks away, and I gotta look the part!
I picked a middle range stiff woven cotton for the suit mainly because of how the fabric handles. It's not too heavy, but has a great pattern to hide any flaws I may make.
Also, because this is a non stretch suit, I wanted the fabric to be sturdy and hold up after many launders.
Bathing Suit pt 3: My second muslin
Good morning lovely people!
This weekend has been full of sewing for me. I just got into a zone on my baiting suit sew-along.
As you recall, the first mock up was quite successful, but it did have some minor fit issues. The waist was too large, and I blame that in part to my resistance to do princess seamed garments. I just know that they require so much fitting on my end until I'm happy with it that I don't bother. That and I think they make me look bad, but I digress.
NVL Fun in the Sun swim suit sew-along!
Get ready! It's time to prepare for fun and sun this summer and what better way to do that than to have a sew-along! I'm going to be making the super cute repro I recently listed in my store and I welcome you to join me.
For this sew along, I'm going to make the suit as is as a mock up just to figure out everything, then go into altering it and grading. I've started a pintrest board where I'll list a lot of progress pictures.
Banners galore!!
There is still plenty of time to grab this pattern and join in.
Yay sewing!!!
