Just back from a work trip. Got to wear a #weekendSewingClub creation… a cut-and-shut of a Burda magazine skirt, with the top half of a dress from another issue.

It’s shorter than I planned, to eke it out of a shortish length of this lovely, light grey and sky-blue check wool.

I like it in its own right, but it’s actually the wearable-muslin for the midi-length version I have planned for THE MOST decadent fabric I have ever bought… dark grey SCABAL herringbone.

Me, wearing a light grey dress (just above the knee, sleeveless, high-necked and very fitted) and bright red shoes.
Pile of wool fabric: dark, slatey-blue-toned grey, very fine, dense herringbone, with the woven selvedge and a label declaring it SCABAL super 120s and cashmere.

#weekendSewingClub

I’ve made a start on the floral satin dress, but I’ve been taking it slow with long sleeps between, because I’m starting my new (old?) job tomorrow, so energy-budgets are tight! Mostly I’ve been cutting out, interfacing, stay-stitching the fluttery, fluid viscose, and (thankfully not many) darts.

Here’s the pattern photo, and the bodice front, to give you a flavour of how the floral will look.

#weekendSewingClub catch-up

The shirt dress has buttons. Oh Lord, I ballsed up the buttonholes, especially on the cuffs, but who ever looks at those?

The picture of me wearing it is a better colour representation of this GLORIOUS fabric: looks nice, but it feels even more incredible.

Bit short. Probably one for opaque tights IRL. But I do like it.

Not at the #sewing stages this weekend, but I am finally tackling this blazer dress… with a few edits:

1. I’m going to have to split it with a waist seam. My hip measurement is a clear THREE dress sizes bigger than my waist measurement, which is way more than I want to grade out on the side seam. Cutting skirt and bodice separately let’s me distribute the difference across those twin front and back darts.

Pattern technical drawings, emphasing details such as the notched collar rather low on the chest, and paired waist darts (8 total).

I can't believe that I've made it to day 8 with no repeats but it's been a busy sewing year. This was the second dress I made at #dressmaking classes in #ViệtNam with #BaliBatik. It was a clone of the earlier dress and I especially like the back darts. And of course, #ItHasPockets! Sadly, the batik is shredding in a big way with multiple small holes and bigger rips so it will probably only be worn at home until it's indecent for eve that.

#WeekendSewingClub finale… oh, alright, I like it more than I expected. A few harder-edged accessories and I’ll even probably wear it.

Really impressed myself with the fitting of the wrap-front. That’s the first time I’ve managed one with no trace of gaping (stay-stitching is a revelation)

Also, the inside is almost better than the outside… my grandma would’ve approved!

Inside back of the floral dress, hanging against the wall. Most of what you see is plain black lining, with a slight sheen, but the waistband is the same fabric as the outside, so there’s a little spray of pale pink flowers.
