Currently I’m into shirt making.. I delayed bringing my
ideas come to life for some time, and now I can’t stop.. I looked through shirt
patterns in recent Burda magazines trying to find basic patterns which would be
easy to adjust to two of my favorite techniques in fabric manipulation –
pin tucks and scallops.. Pattern #110 from Burda 07/2012 cought my eye.. Simple
shirt with classic collar and ¾ sleeves.. To be honest, I wanted my first make with
this pattern to be from this fabric.. That changed while I was tracing pattern
pieces on paper.. While I was doing that, I remembered that I had a few large
leftover pieces of blue lightweight cotton fabric.. Perfect opportunity to try
to make a shirt with pin tucks and at the same time try this shirt pattern..
Yoke parts of the shirt were perfect for making horizontal
pin tucks.. I had a lot of practice with sewing this kind of straight lines last
summer, and it was nice to do it again.. Cotton fabric which I used is very
friendly with this technique.. Everything ends up neatly.. I didn’t make any
other changes to the pattern.. It’s needless to say I love the outcome..
its gorgeous, envious of your even pin-tucks, I was trying some of the summer in linen and lost patience!
ReplyDeletethanks :) for sewing pin tuck one must have patience and practice.. and good fabric selection :) this narrow pin tucks I make only with lightweight cotton fabric.. the wider ones I can make with rayon..
