A mix of the latest pattern I’ve done, July23.

I have more energy after approxy 6pm mostly and therefor I’ll start with my projects later in a Day. For the last day’s I’ve started on “finding the right pattern”. You who sew probobly understand what I mean. For the rest of you, when you buy an old pattern you get a sheet of all the different parts in one sheet and then the challenge is to find all the parts. You’ll see in the end of this blog what I mean.

The first pattern here is; Linen pants in sand color.

Linen patns, my leg lenght (91cm or 35 ⁡³/₆₄ inch).

I measuredd my waist, cut a 10cm wide waist, fold it and sewed it and then I thought how cool it would be to sew a more fancy fabric on the inside. Both for fun and for comfty.

Fancy fabric on the inside of the waist.

I thought the same thing for the pockets.

The same fancy fabric on the inside of the pockets.

So I will sew pants in linen in my lenght 🀩. My legs are tall, cause I am 6″2’1 or 189cm. (My torso is quite tall to for my hight, which will be interesting when I start to sew more fitable dresses ^^haha^^.) My innerseam on pants are 91cm or 35 ⁡³/₆₄ inch = tall woman ;-). I got a par of linen pants years ago but they ar ea bit wide in the waist… and this summer I got linen fabric from a girlfriend and yes there we are. πŸ™‚

The 2nd pattern & the 2nd dress here is: “fancy dress” the white curtain.

To find the right pattern isn’t easy…
But I did it 😍 Do you see the lines I filled in? That’s the pattern.

Creative July 2019

July has nearly past.

A quite efficient month when it comes to sewing and redesign.

 

In the beginning of this month I sewed this toilet map that I use for my medication I need to have close for all kind of reasons, I did it by night just because I can, was awake and it’s Summer. πŸ˜‰ The fabric was once a rain jacket, and now re-designed. It works perfect for it’s use!

This is my tunic (below) that before was a dress, long enough for me but I didn’t like the end of it so I cut it off and hand sewed the edges but after that I bought silk-needles for sewing machine I managed to sew it better and it looks even better now. I’m happy I managed to get over my *hate off silk.

 

Here, below, is two sewing-projects that I nearly just started. To the left, African cotton fabric that was a tunic and that I want to become Summer pants. To the right, also a tunic before with pattern I have sewn on to become shorts. Fabric linen. we’ll see how that goes in the end.

 

This is an other silk top project that I started last Summer and I just had to pack it away in last August-18 not really finish. And this July I finished it, by taking up old stitches, sew again, made it fit and shorten it. Now I’m happy with it and can pick up other projects that need to be fixed before I start to work in the middle of August-19. πŸ™‚ (picture below)

 

In August it will hopefully be some more projects that has been on pause for a while, I can’t wait to start. I’m so thankful for chilly days like today and I’m hoping for some more. Warm day’s means less work for me, so like today when we have +18C I would have been sewing but not today… Maybe tomorrow.
