I visited Barcelona in April, and spent some time on fabric shopping. I want to share addresses of the stores. Both of them are located at the same street, close to each other. There's another store on the opposite side of the street, but I bought nothing there.</div>

<br />
Here is a little summary of 2014, the year I joined RTW fast and sew my clothes instead of buying them. I managed to sew 15 garments for myself, 9 of them are dresses. 10 projects are made in knits, which means that I conquered my fear of knits forever.<br />
New techniques I learned:<br />
- baby hems,<br />
- hand rolled hem,<br />
- coverstiching - I bought coverstitch, which was a splurge, because I already owned a serger, but it took my sewing to next level,<br />
- setting sleeves flat, <br />
- full bust adjustment (for my sister)<br />
<br />
Sewing goals for 2015:<br />
- sew work appropriate wardrobe - during 2014 I sew mostly casual wardrobe, now I need some more office clothes,<br />
- sew more separates - including shirts,<br />
- sew more Burda patterns - in 2014 I sew only 3 garments. Burda is consistent with sizing, and I have a lot of experience in adjusting patterns to fit me.<br />
- sew some loungewear (tunics, robe),attagirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15336888217116156200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887642858457678789.post-8395708500806841332014-12-30T18:49:00.000+01:002015-01-03T21:29:51.185+01:00Parisienne dressThat's my last sewing project this year - dress from Burda 08-2009 model 128, so called Parisienne dress. It's the second time I sew with this pattern, this time in ponte knit.<br />
I made the same alterations as before. I added waist seam at the back to make fitting easier. I removed 1,5 cm from waist area, make narrower shoulders and shorten skirt. I did swayback adjustment. All seams were sewn with sewing machine and finished with serger, hems were simply turned down and coverstichted.<br />

This year I planned my holiday sewing in advance. The first thing I sew is silk top, which was meant to be worn during office holiday party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had very little yardage of silk satin in deep teal colour (this thing was quite expensive, <u>s</u>o I bought only 75 cm). It's been in my stash since January, and almost became one of "too good to use it" fabrics. But finally I dared to cut into this precious fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used New Look 6895 which I sew <a href="http://attagirl-pl.blogspot.com/2013/06/top-jak-z-massimo-dutti.html" target="_blank">last year</a>. Due to very limited yardage I only managed to cut cap sleeves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cut size 8 at shoulders and added 1.5 cm in side seams.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I put a lot of effort into this project. I made muslin (which I rarely do) before cut into the fabric. I did French seams. I learned new technique of hemming - so called baby hem (very neat finish indeed). But I'm somehow disappointed with the results, because silk satin wrinkles madly! I'll probably wear it under the jacket, where wrinkles will not be visible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

This is the third time I sew a garment using Butterick 5873. My sister really liked my <a href="http://attagirl-pl.blogspot.com/2014/12/wool-dress.html" target="_blank">wool dress</a>, and asked me to sew the one for her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the first time I did full bust adjustment (FBA) for the pattern. After reading several tutorials, I managed to do it myself. It was a bit tricky to figure out how to do it on wrap dress. I cut the pattern and make alterations on the bodice, and then adjusted skirt. I added 5 cm on each side of the bodice It ended up with extra 5 cm at the waist, but it was exactly what I needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm very glad with results.</div>

In order to keep the record I will try post them before year end.<br />
So I'm starting with the dress I made for little Gosia, my friend's daughter. I used New Look 6061. I cut the smallest size, but it turned out to be too big, so I don't have photos on the model. The fabric is cotton corduroy with cute flower print.<br />

I wanted casual or rather sporty dress for a long time. But I could not find the right pattern. I visualised dress with hood and kangaroo pockets. When I saw this sweatshirt knit online I instantly knew that it will be perfect for my project. All I needed was to create the pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a base I took Mc Calls 6612. The perfect hood and pocket I found in Burda 11-2007-118.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As in previous versions of this pattern, I added back darts. All hems (including hood) are coverstiched.</div>

It has been no sewing in my life recently, but I have few pieces I haven't blogged about. One of them is pencil skirt for summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used the same pattern as for <a href="http://attagirl-pl.blogspot.com/2014/04/silk-pencil-skirt.html" target="_blank">silk skirt</a> I sewed earlier this year (from Burda 08-2007). The fabric is cotton-lycra twill I bought online at NATAN store. I like the colour combination very much.</div>

I didn't have any specific pattern in mind, but I wanted to make a dress from it. Unfortunately, each time I tried to find pattern, it turned out, that I don't have enough fabric. Luckily, the next time I visited that shop, I managed to buy additional yardage.<br />
<br />
I decided to make maxi dress with McCall's 6700.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRMpnWzcndIf0gQmZqZHGbS9k2DzdiE94i4lXrvzpKV69cVwdxVsQjS_uvkJnD7f-e3dkvcxihCPzfXyZOUfR6pfz05t5mHVGCqr-pJlkg0OUykcdzAVEhUPvF6dbC20s7jgtNwXwrw5g/s1600/M6700.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRMpnWzcndIf0gQmZqZHGbS9k2DzdiE94i4lXrvzpKV69cVwdxVsQjS_uvkJnD7f-e3dkvcxihCPzfXyZOUfR6pfz05t5mHVGCqr-pJlkg0OUykcdzAVEhUPvF6dbC20s7jgtNwXwrw5g/s1600/M6700.gif" height="190" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cut size 10, and I did not make any alteration apart from 1.5 cm short waist adjustment. Next time I should lenghten bodice front (circa 2.5 cm at center front, tapering to nothing at side seams).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The neckline is cut very low, and gaping a bit, I could have overlap front pieces by few more centimetres (I think I might rip waist seam and correct it, because it's annoying).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to stabilise neckline I fused a strip of knit interfacing. Then I finished it with coverstich. To make shoulder gathers I stitched clear elastic over shoulder seam (it looks more like RTW clothes)</div>

It's such any easy and stylish dress.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="prbig">Here is my review:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="prbig"><b> Pattern Description: </b>
Close-fitting, above mid-knee length dress has mock wrap front, gathered
at left side, collar, collar band, raglan sleeve, side zipper and
stitched hems. I made view B with short sleeves but without sash.<br /><br /><b>Pattern Sizing:</b> I cut bodice 10, and graded to 12 at waist and hips.<br /><br /><b>Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?</b> Yes<br /><br /><b>Were the instructions easy to follow?</b>
Yes, there were fairly easy. Although I changed order of construction,
first sew attached sleeves to the bodice, then serged side seams. I also
used coverstich machine to finish hems<br /><br /><b>What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?</b> I like the silhouette of the dress, which is very slimming. I like side gathers. No dislikes<br /><br /><b>Fabric Used:</b> Raoyn lycra knit. I think it was perfect fabric-pattern combination, the knit has just enough weight for gathers.<br /><br /><b>Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:</b> My usual alteration ie removing 1.5 cm from waist area. I also took in 1 cm at sleeves seam.<br /><br /><b>Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?</b> I might sew view A with longer sleeves for fall.<br /><br /><b>Conclusion: </b>
I wonder why this pattern is not very popular at PR. For me it's a
winner, the best summer dress! It's comfortable to wear, yet stylish. </span></span><br />

Have you ever sew something you did not like? Not because of fit, but because it does not fit your style. It happened to me with this cadigan. The pattern is McCall's 6844, the one with many positive reviews on Pattern Review.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3dMVNO8O97SEjHqoobxyoInyOZ7L23odeCRi_I1ZfdqkRi9H0YagtdX_BuaXgrUSaRnqyHVOyJuWSxgQbsK9dVUJEEobzaaerYeHTsv6ALU5JUqUy3EyIDYIZJcUER0MgXY41LinSpfA/s1600/M6844.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3dMVNO8O97SEjHqoobxyoInyOZ7L23odeCRi_I1ZfdqkRi9H0YagtdX_BuaXgrUSaRnqyHVOyJuWSxgQbsK9dVUJEEobzaaerYeHTsv6ALU5JUqUy3EyIDYIZJcUER0MgXY41LinSpfA/s1600/M6844.jpg" height="320" width="303" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So why it did not work for me? Firstly, I cut it too short. I did short waist alteration and removed 2.5 cm, but forgot to add the same amount to the length.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly - wrong fabric choce. I chose thin cotton knit in light grey colour, which would be more suitable for sweatshirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No photo on me this time.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It looks more like loungewear. However the pattern itself is ok, and I might sew it sometime, only with different fabric. It will look great in lightweight wool knit.<br />

Here is the second version of Vogue 8724, made for my sister. This time I used size D cup for bodice. It was almost OK, but if sew this dress next time, I will do FBA. I cut size 14, but added 1.5cm to side seams (next time add 2 cm). The construction was the same as for the dress I made for myself.</div>

This is a dress I made 3 times in a row. I didn't planned it, it just happened. I sew one dress for myself. When I showed finished garment to my sisters, both of them requested that I sew one for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pattern is Vogue 8724. The pattern is rated easy, which is very true. It comes with separate bodice pieces for A,B,C and D bra cups. I used B-cup for myself, and D-cup for my sisters' dresses.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cut size 12 and graded to 14 at waist and hips. Grading was not necessary, as I ended taking side seams in. I did my usual short waist alteration (1.5 cm) and shortened skirt by 5 cm.</div>

I have worn this dress few times during May and it's definitely a winner. I'm thinking of tweaking the pattern a bit, and sewing tunic with flared skirt. If I figure out how to add sleeves, it will be great dress for coller weather.attagirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15336888217116156200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887642858457678789.post-29401308992976520132014-05-20T22:02:00.000+02:002014-05-20T22:02:43.391+02:00Vogue 1250 revisited<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I ordered 1m of this rayon knit for summer top. When fabric arrived, it was so generously cut, that I managed to sew a dress from it. I took Vogue 1250, the pattern I used last year for my first <a href="http://attagirl-pl.blogspot.com/2013/07/vogue-1250-czyli-sukienka-idealna.html" target="_blank">knit project. </a>The only difference was that I shortened skirt by 4 cm due to shortage of fabric. (Note to myself - don't do it again. Skirt is a bit too short for my taste).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was quick and easy project. I started on Friday evening and finished on Sunday morning, so that I could wear it to my mom's birthday party.</div>

I bought this silk fabric online at bargain price with the idea of using it as lining. When it arrived, it turned out to be so beautiful, so I wanted to sew skirt with it. At first I wanted to sew pleated skirt, but that fabric doesn't holds pleats well. So I decided to make pencil skirt instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I took pattern from Burda 08/2007, the one I used before. There was nothing difficult about construction, but fabric was tricky to handle. That is why I spent on it more time, than I usually do on basic skirt, and it's the only garment finished in April.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Firstly, when I basted the skirt and tried it on, it clinged to my bare legs, because of static. It was impossible to check the fit. I washed the fabric in fabric softener and it solved the problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then I had no idea how to hem the skirt. I searched over internet, and suggested method for hemming silk is so called baby-hem. I was afraid it wouldn't work on skirt with back vent. I tried to use seam-a-steam, and I almost ruined the garment. I need to cut off few centimetres. Eventually I turned the hem under and stitched.</div>

I recently learned the concept of "capsule wardrobe". Basically, it's an idea of creating the collection of essential items of clothing that will not go out of fashion and then update with seasonal pieces. Those basis items should be interchengable in order to maximise the number of outfits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started my capsule wardrobe with a skirt. I bought the lightweight wool during my trip to Warszaw in January, and thought it would make great skirt for transitional season. The pattern is good old Simplicity 2451.</div>

I was making the skirt for the third time, so all alterations had been done previously. I lenghten back darts. I also lined the skirt using the same pattern as for fashion fabric.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wrap dress czyli sukienka kopertowa. Ten fason nie jest chyba teraz popularny, a szkoda, bo sukienki kopertowe uszyte z dzianiny są wygodne w noszeniu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wybrałam wykrój Butterick 5454, dość popularny w świecie anglosaskim, ma kilkanaście recenzji na stronie <a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/" target="_blank">Pattern Review</a>. Dużą zaletą wykroju jest to, że wymaga tylko 1,8m dzianiny, zwykle zużycie materiału na kopertówki to około 2,5m. Ja zużyłam 2m, ze względu na duży wzór, który chciałam dopasować.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sukienka szyła się lekko, łatwo i przyjemnie. Do wykroju wprowadziłam kilka poprawek, m.in. skróciłam górę sukienki o 1,5cm, wydłużyłam dół o 3 cm i zwęziłam pasek.</div>

<i>Here is my pattern review for Butterick 5454 wrap dress.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="prbig"><b>Pattern Description: </b>Close fitting dress, has wrap fronts, front tucks, front and back pleats, self ties<br /><br /><b>Pattern Sizing:</b>8-14. I cut 12 and was OK for me.<br /><br /><b>Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?</b>Yes<br /><br /><b>Were the instructions easy to follow?</b>There were OK. The only issue I had that I couldn't figure out how to attach ties, so I did it my way.<br /><br /><b>What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?</b>
I like the front tucks, even though in my printed fabric they are not
very noticeable. Bodice front lies flat and is not gaping. I don't like
the ties because the add bulk in waist area.<br /><br /><b>Fabric Used:</b>Rayon lycra knit<br /><br /><b>Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:</b>
I shortened the bodice by 1.5cm (but please bear in mind that I'm short
waisted and usually need to shorten by 2.5cm). I lenghten the skirt by 3
cm (for me it was too short as drafted). I used binding for front/back
necline. I topstiched hem with twinneedle.<br /><br /><b>Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?</b>
I'm not sure if I would sew it again, because I have many other
patterns to sew. But I recommend it to others because it easy pattern.<br /><br /><b>Conclusion: </b> It was my first wrap dress, and I'm note sure if the style works for me. Maybe I need to wear it few times and get used to it.</span></span></i><br />

W swoich zapasach znalazłam tkaninę w groszki, najprawdopodobniej elanobawełnę, którą kiedyś kupiłam bez specjalnego pomysłu na wykorzystanie. Ale właśnie nadszedł jej czas. Ponieważ materiał jest dość przezroczysty, wszyłam podszewkę z cienkiego batystu bawełnianego.<br />

Dziś pierwsza rzecz, którą w tym roku uszyłam dla siebie. Jest to kolejny projekt z wykorzystaniem wykroju McCall's 6612, tym razem w postaci ciepłego sweterka z dużym golfem. Szyłam go w zasadzie tak samo, jak <a href="http://attagirl-pl.blogspot.com/2013/12/panterka.html" target="_blank">sukienkę w panterkę</a>. Jedyne zmiany, jakie wprowadziłam tym razem, to podniesienie linii podkroju szyi o 2,5 cm i zwężenie golfu po 4 cm z każdej strony. Myślę, że golf lepiej się układa przy mniejszym dekolcie.<br />
Dzianinę kupiłam w sklepie stacjonarnym w Białymstoku. Jest to mieszanka akrylu i poliamidu z małym dodatkiem wełny.<br />

<i>Today I present constume of a fairy I sew for my second niece.I used the same pattern as for <a href="http://attagirl-pl.blogspot.com/2012/12/kostium-dzwoneczka.html" target="_blank">Tinkerbell costume</a></i> <i>from the last season, Simplicity 2559. I must admit that cost of pattern has amortised :)</i><br />
<i>I used the same poly satin and organza as in previous project.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Uszyty w poprzednim sezonie kostium Dzwoneczka okazał się wielkim sukcesem. Ania nosiła go nie tylko podczas imprezy choinkowej w przedszkolu, ale przez cały rok. W tym roku zdecydowałam się na uszycie kostiumu księżniczki.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wybrałam wykrój nr 2817 firmy Simplicity.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sukienkę uszyłam z różowej satyny z lycrą oraz połyskliwej organzy. Satyna okazała się dość łatwa w szyciu, natomiast organza wprost przeciwnie. Gdybym nie miała overlocka, pewnie nie poradziłabym sobie z tą tkaniną.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Skroiłam rozmiar 5, (odpowiadający wzrostowi 112 cm (Ania ma 108 cm). Wykrój okazał się za duży, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">widać amerykańskie dzieci są większe. </span>Musiałam zwężać w szwach bocznych, a także środek przodu. Zmniejszyłam równie z dekolt, był zdecydowanie za głęboki.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tinkerbell costume I sew last year turned out to be great success. Ania was wearing it many times, not only for the event at kindergarten.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This year I decided to make her Princess dress based on Simplicity pattern 2817.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I cut size 5 but it turned out to be far too big. I needed to take in side seams and center front seam as well. I also raised neckline.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I sew the costume with poly satin and sparkling organza. While I didn't find it difficult to sew satin, it was a nightmare to work with organza. Luckily I was able to sew it with serger. </span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Góra sukienki jest podszyta podszewką. Użyłam do tego cienkiego bawełnianego batystu.</span></div>
