Finishing the yellow Burda coat (Made Up, part two)

by fabrickated | posted in: Tips and Techniques, WIP (work in progress) | 22

On Wednesday I covered the construction of a collarless, open coat (what could be easier?) for my daughter Esme. The post drew lots of positive comments – thank you! It is interesting how yellow seems to be a colour that … Continued

I approached this project with trepidation. I have already written about the hazards of sewing for those you love. This project started a year or two ago when I bought Esme a nice yellow summer coat from Zara. It got … Continued

Topstitching the yellow summer jacket (Vogue 7133)

by fabrickated | posted in: Finished projects, WIP (work in progress) | 25

Once my Vogue 7133 jacket was lined and had bias strips attached at the hems, and the hemming was complete, I thought about topstitching. It’s been fairly long project and there is a sense of “oh no, another stage to complete”. Karen … Continued

Vogue 7133 – 1967 Kimono-sleeved jacket

by fabrickated | posted in: WIP (work in progress) | 6

Turns out this “simple” yellow jacket is quite a time consuming job. Pattern I am using a 1967 Vogue pattern. It’s not a “designer” pattern, but clearly around that time many designers were using the kimono sleeve. And the dress … Continued

You may remember I am supposed to be making a yellow summer coat for my daughter, based on this one, from Zara. The trouble is, while I have made up a passable pattern, I have not made the coat. All … Continued

When I saw this lovely dress in the Evening Standard I wondered if it might be by Christopher Bailey. Although I assume the writing said Summer I thought it might say Prorsum – you may as well put your brand … Continued

Copying a Zara coat for Esme

Esme has a much-loved yellow, summer coat. I bought for about £60 in Zara, a shop that usually stocks more a good range of yellow items. In fact if you like yellow it is the shop to shop in. I … Continued

Previously I wrote about my sewing plans for the rest of the year. I considered Wendy Mak’s 30 piece wardrobe plan. Before I set out my own thinking I also had a look at what Dr Elizabeth (ejvc on Artisan’s Square) … Continued

The people of Thailand, living in a monarchy where democracy is yet underdeveloped, used to express their political views by donning a T-shirt. I won’t go into the meaning of this gesture, except to say it is very powerful. The … Continued

Beetle cushions for Gus

by fabrickated | posted in: Fabric printing | 4

I don’t like buying Christmas presents. I find it stressful, and I hate being under pressure to buy. So generally I give my children money and try to make something small, as an expression of my love, as well. Last … Continued
