#MMMAY!# Day 6: Modified MariaDenmark Laura Lounge Trousers - with zippered patch pocket and hem cuffs. More details about the modifications and the day on the blog

 

Monday was work-at-Mariadenmark-day so I was at the computer doing patternmaking stuff all morning, then at the post office and then had lunch with my husband at a café. Then I went home and the sun was out and it was lovely (20 degrees C (68 F)) so I went to work in the garden.

I had planned to do some sewing later, but instead we made a bonfire to get rid of all the twigs and ended up cooking dinner on the bonfire.

My college patternmaking textbook, bodice slopers, and Cal Patch's new book.

last night, after a particularly annoying day at work, I did a little patternmaking therapy and wig experimentation.

 

I came up with a decent pattern for a t-shirt, socks, and this little ruffle dress.

 

The wig is more "hacked" than "made" but it came out nice and snug, so I will probably do a tutorial in the future. it is really hard to find nice 3/4 wigs that are not too poofy.

 

She's wearing mame's shoes (made by Min Lee) which are too big for her but are the best I have at the moment. Plus she seems to really like sparkly things.

 

She'll get her face this weekend! Yay!

Center front and back hem are 3 inches longer than the side to give a more of a shirt look.

Description:

If you love to sew, but are frustrated by the patterns you

find in stores, this is the class for you. Here you will learn the basic principles of flat patternmaking, and start having fun designing the clothes you picture in your mind! You will draft patterns for a t-shirt and an A-line skirt (like those in the photos above) based on your own measurements. Then we will manipulate these patterns into other style variations. We will also cover how to 'rub off' a pattern from a pre-existing garment. Basic sewing experience is helpful to benefit from this class.

I used David P. Coffin's book Shirtmaking and Shannon Gifford's Threads 139 article to draft the placket
