Project Details
Pattern: Simplicity 4112, View B
Fabric: Polka dot georgette (100% silk)
Notions: Five 3/8" buttons; 1/4" bias tape
I decided to do this very popular Builty by Wendy shirt is a sheer. I too had avoided sheers for quite sometime and decided to take on the challenge. This is a very simple pattern and if it had been sewn in a fabric with more body, it could have been completed in probably an afternoon. Since I sewed this in the sheer, I decided to take my time.
I gave most of the construction details in my previous post, but there was one other thing that I didn't include. The additional things I did was a bias-bound armscye. Since I used french seams, I decided that this was the best method for finishing the set-in sleeve seam allowance without resorting to serging, which would have looked unattractive from the right side of this sheer blouse. I did this by sewing the sleeve to the garment and wrapping a bias strip around the seam allowance. The front facing is done by turning back the the CF edge three times for a "self-interfacing" effect. Since my fabric was so sheer, I really feel that I could have used some interfacing right there.
I like the fact that this top is very cute and trendy and I love the mandarin collar. I decided to layer mine over a black cami. It can be worn untucked with the sash or tucked without it.
The first item of clothing I've made for myself since O level Fashion and Fabrics in 1984.
I used the mini dress length (view a, b) and the longer sleeves (view c). I also added pleats at the elbow.
I made a uk size 14 which is actually a bit big for me. I had a lot of spare material at the selvedge so I think I'll get a size 12 out of that with shorter sleeves and bit of bodgery!

I had one of the preschool teachers photograph me at pickup today! The comments from the other parents were making me laugh.

Fabric: Dotted Swiss from Joann

I should have lined the skirt, and it's pretty wrinkled...but all in all I loved this pattern. The pockets are awesome. They were a bit confusing for me to attach to the bodice, but after studying the drawing for a minute I figured it out.
Sorry about the bad quality photo. It was 1 am and you know how that goes.
