Dan sedamnaesti.
Kupila sam ovu prelepu šantung svilu na popusti, pošto je ostalo samo malo materijala - oko 1.20m (širine 1.40m). Od kako sam uzela tkaninu, znala sam da hoću haljinu da napravim od nje, ali sam bila ograničena količinom materijala, pa sam napravila još jednu Bordeaux haljinu. Kako nisam imala dovoljno materijala za opšivke okovratnika, iskoristila sam ostatke satena koje sam imala kod sebe. Haljina je ispala i s naličja jako lepa i zanimljiva. Dodatke za šavove sam takođe paspulirala koso sečenim trakama od satena.
Ova haljina je objavljena u Sew News časopisu. Kroj za haljinu, u veličini 38-40 možete skinuti sa Download taba bloga.
Podsetnik za ubuduće: nosi češće crvene haljine, dobićeš mnoštvo komplimenata od ljudi! ;-).
Day seventeen.
I bought this gorgeous shantung silk on a discount, since it was a leftover, around 1.20m long (1.40m wide). I knew I wanted to make a dress out it, but I was restricted by the amount of fabric. So, I decided to make another variation of the Bordeaux dress. I didn’t have enough fabric for neckline yoke facings, so I used leftovers of some satin I had in my stash. It made the inside of the dress so pretty and interesting. Also, I finished the seam allowances using the Hongkong finish technique, using self made bias strips.
The dress was featured in the Sew News magazine. Also, you can download the pattern for the dress from the Download tab.
A note to myself: wear red dresses more frequently - you'll get a lot of positive feedback from people in the street!
