Big Blooms Organza Overdress: Inspired by Simplicity 8252

While hunting through my fabrics to make a dress for a wedding, I realized that I had a print and a silk organza that would work perfectly together as a dress and an overdress. Sheer overdresses, along with sheer skirts tied on almost as aprons, show up in the 1950s for evening wear. They allowed for a covered up during an era when the pinched waist of the hourglass and the long skirt were the fashion.

This over-dress was cut differently than the skirt of my dress, Butterick 6582, so I decided to cut my dress’s skirt pattern and simply adding 2 inches total at the side seams, and inch and a half at center front, and an inch in length at the hemline. While I tried to use this Simplicity pattern for the bodice, I realized I wanted flared, set-in sleeves, so I ended up drafting a pattern from a combination of bodices.

In working with silk organza, you definitely want a chalk powder marker, something so light that you can accidentally brush it away. I used the Chakoner which I picked up at the American Sewing Guild marketplace one year, but you can find it online at many places. Do NOT use a chalk pencil as the mark can be too solid and you will spend much time trying to brush it out. You can mark both pieces at the same time, although you may need to add chalking to the bottom piece.

Silk organza is sewn with a dry iron and dry cleaned in order to keep its crispiness. I actually washed this before I realized that was a mistake, but it remained relatively crispy all the same.  Because it is transparent, it has mass but seems to float.

Stay tuned for more pictures as the overdress progresses.

Stitch Ripper

The Stitch Ripper: Tips and Tricks for Successful Seam Removal

Whether you're a seasoned seamstress or just starting out, chances are you've had to remove a seam at some point in your sewing journey. While seam removal can be a frustrating and time-consuming task, it's an important skill to master in order to achieve professional-looking results. In this blog post, we'll share some tips and tricks for using a stitch ripper to remove seams with ease. What is a Stitch Ripper? A stitch ripper, also known as a seam ripper, is a small tool that is used to remove stitches from fabric. It consists of a handle and a sharp blade that is designed to cut through threads without damaging the fabric. Stitch rippers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all perform the same basic function of removing stitches. Tips and Tricks for Using a Stitch Ripper - Choose the Right Stitch Ripper When selecting a stitch ripper, it's important to choose one that is comfortable to hold and easy to use. Look for a ripper with a handle that fits your hand well, and a blade that is sharp enough to cut through stitches without damaging the fabric. Some stitch rippers even come with a small magnifying glass attached to the handle, which can be helpful when working with small or intricate stitches. - Use a Light Touch When using a stitch ripper, it's important to use a light touch to avoid damaging the fabric. Use the blade to cut through the stitches one by one, rather than trying to rip them out in one go. This will help you avoid cutting into the fabric or accidentally removing stitches that you want to keep. - Work from the Back Side When removing stitches from a seam, it's best to work from the back side of the fabric. This will help you avoid accidentally cutting into the fabric or leaving marks on the front side. Use the blade of the stitch ripper to gently cut through the stitches, pulling the thread out as you go. - Remove the Thread Completely When removing stitches, it's important to remove the thread completely, rather than just cutting it in half. Leaving a piece of thread in the fabric can cause puckering or distortion in the final product, so take the time to remove each stitch completely. - Don't be Afraid to Start Over If you're having trouble removing a seam, don't be afraid to start over. Sometimes it's easier to remove the entire seam and start fresh, rather than trying to salvage a damaged piece of fabric. Conclusion Using a stitch ripper to remove seams may not be the most exciting part of sewing, but it's an essential skill for achieving professional-looking results. By following these tips and tricks, you can use a stitch ripper with ease and confidence, and remove seams quickly and efficiently. So next time you need to remove a seam, grab your stitch ripper and get to work! Read the full article

How to sew faux leather tips

Faux leather, also called fake leather or Skai, is a fabric that imitates leather. It is a canvas on which is glued mainly PVC. A distinction is made between stiffer imitation leathers which are mainly used for creations intended for furnishing or softer imitation leathers which are intended for clothing. They usually contain extra elastane to gain flexibility. There is a wide choice and this fabric is particularly trendy. If at first glance, it may seem complicated to work, it is not once you know how to proceed. Discover all our advice if you want to sew imitation leather and integrate this material into your sewing projects. Its composition and maintenance Faux leather is an economical fabric, which has the advantage of not coming from the animal sector. It is obvious that it is a somewhat specific material, which is intended to imitate leather, but which has neither the properties nor the smell. For its manufacture, synthetic materials based on plastic are used. It is less resistant than leather and therefore has a shorter lifespan, but its price is also lower. To make the distinction between imitation leather and leather, it is enough to turn them over. The first has a woven canvas on its back, while of course there is nothing on the back of the leather, but it is sometimes hidden by a lining. The place of the imitation leather being coated, it is quite easy to maintain. It can be machine washed at low temperature. If the stain is localized, you can wash it with soapy water on a sponge or wipe. Never use bleach and be careful not to scrub too hard, you could damage your fabric. If you must iron it, do it inside out, making sure your iron is not too hot. How to cut faux leather? To proceed with the cutting of your imitation leather, nothing could be simpler. You can easily reproduce your pattern on the back thanks to the canvas side. You can trace it using tailor's chalk or a pen. There are some that are erased by the heat of the iron. Once the line has been drawn, you can proceed with the cut with your usual scissors or with a rotary cutter, if you have one, because you will gain in precision. In the latter case, be sure to use a cutting board. What to know before sewing imitation leather? imitation leather sample for sewing project To get started in sewing a faux leather pattern, you will need to use the right material. Indeed, it is a material that cannot be worked like other more basic fabrics. Only then will sewing it be easy. The necessary material for the sewing of the imitation leather To be able to sew imitation leather, you will need: Use pins. When preparing, preferably replace pins with fabric clips when combining two layers of fabric. Indeed, the pins will tend to mark the imitation leather. If you do not want to invest in additional equipment, you can replace the clips with paper clips or possibly clothespins, but these are more cumbersome and require more attention when stitching; Use a Teflon presser foot. It is thanks to this foot that your material will be able to move forward. To recognize it, it is the white presser foot. You can also use a roller foot or a double feed foot. If you use a conventional presser foot, the material will stick to it and you will not be able to sew. If you only plan to sew faux leather very occasionally, you may not want to invest in an extra presser foot. It is then possible to slip between your fabric and the presser foot a sheet of silk, baking paper or to stick masking tape or tape under your presser foot to prevent adhesion between the two materials; Choose a leather or jeans needle. The choice of needle is essential. For the size, it will be to choose according to the thickness of your fabric. If you want to work a very fine and stretchy imitation leather, then you will have to opt for a needle for stretchy or stretch fabric; Use a suitable yarn. Preferably choose a polyester thread that will be more resistant. How to sew faux leather with a sewing machine sewing faux leather with a sewing machine Rest assured, it is easier to sew imitation leather than to sew leather by machine. Once your sewing machine is equipped with the Teflon presser foot, the needle is changed and adapted to your fabric. You can start sewing your imitation leather. To do this, be sure to set your stitch to 3 or 4. This will be wide enough not to risk cutting your leatherette, but tight enough to allow you to obtain a solid seam. You can then prepare your seam using the darts, then sew as you would with any fabric. To open your seams, you can use your iron set to synthetic on the back of the fabric. If you have to iron the right side of your fabric, use a tea towel or any other piece of cotton between the iron and the imitation leather. While the fabric cools, you can use a weight to hold the seam open permanently. It is always preferable to carry out an ironing test on a scrap of fabric, to make sure that it supports the heat of your iron and to allow you to adapt if necessary. Very practical, the imitation leather does not fray, you will therefore be spared the realization of finishes for your borders. Finally, you will not need to own a sophisticated sewing machine to work this material. Using faux leather for your sewing projects As we have seen, imitation leather allows a wide variety of creations. Especially since there are different thicknesses, different colors, different textures, etc. Thus, you can use imitation leather for making clothes such as a skirt, pants, etc.. You can also use it to make accessories, for example, a handbag, a purse, a kit, jewelry, etc. The imitation leather does not fray, it can also be used to make small pieces representing shapes, for example a star, a cloud, etc., to sew or stick on a creation to personalize it.
