Lace Long Sleeve Flowy Blouse
I'm finally back to writing on this blog after being busy for two months, I still sew some small items and mend a few clothes but haven't sewn new clothes. Until two days before Valentine's arrived, I felt like I had to sew a new blouse to wear to dinner. The blouse had to be in the shade of pink, so I checked my stash and found 2 yards of lace fabric in fuchsia that I don't remember when I bought it. After I had the fabric, I started making the pattern (based on my previous self-drafted blouse pattern) I modified the pattern into a flowy blouse. The pattern was simple, a round neckline, gathered front and back yokes and gathered sleeves with elastic bands. Here is the pattern that I drafted, And after the pattern was done, I cut the fabric as usual. The sewing process was fun and turned out to be easier than I imagined. I sewed the neckline front and back yokes and then attached them to the gathered bodices as shown below. After that, I sewed the shoulder lines togeth
What a fantastic petticoat! Love all the detail you put into it and it is simply lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa :)
DeleteThat's a lovely little petticoat Hana. Perfect for finishing off full skirt dresses :)x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn :)
DeleteOh, what attention to detail Hana! A beautiful make...almost a shame to hide it under a dress or skirt! I tried to make a tulle petticoat but got pretty frustrated. I was trying gathers, but I think the pleating would be much better, even if you do have to use a lot of pins! Okay, you've inspired me to get busy on mine....Is the pattern in The Burda Vintage Book?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue. Well, here in China many girls using it on the top of their skirt/dress :) But I will never do that.
DeleteThe pattern based on BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage - Elizabeth Gathered Waist dress.
...hmmm...so you used the Elizabeth Gathered Waist Dress pattern {lovely pattern by the way} and added the tiers etc. Or does this pattern include a petticoat with it? Sorry for the questions. xo
DeleteThe petticoat based on the skirt of Elizabeth Gathered Waist dress. This is one of the variation based on that pattern. If you have the Burda Vintage Modern book, you will find the full instruction in the page 78. But I don't think the variation include when you buy pdf pattern.
DeleteHere what I did, I split the skirt pattern in two part, upper part 35 cm long and below part 20.5 cm long.
The upper part is the skirt of my petticoat, I cut 2 x on fold and below part is the ruffle, I cut 4 x on fold.
Then I sew the skirt pieces right side together and pleated the upper skirt and attached to the bias tape waist line.
After that I sew the four ruffles together, pleated and attached to the skirt bottom.
I hope my explanation will help :)
Got it!!! Thanks so much Hana!!!
