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.
A bit of a stash busting project but I love how they've turned out. Intend to wear with tights and Docs! www.ooobop.com

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.

View B from Lisette lawn. Nothing fancy, but I can rarely find tops like this in ready-to-wear that fit well (too little in the shoulder-and-boobage department to hold it up). I took about 1.5 inches out of the middle of the pattern, my first major pattern adjustment....and I'm pretty happy with it!
Oops...fabric is Lisette cotton lawn from JoAnn's (I can't remember if it has a name--blue with white/green dots).

Found this vintage sewing book "Simplicity Sewing Book" (1967) at Thrift Store.
I don't sew garment, but it is fun to read!! Maybe one day, I am confident enough, I'll give it a try.
I've had a personal blog for nearly 2 decades www.dianeschuller.com
and now I'm considering the possibility of letting it go. But something in me is so reluctant to cut the ties. Indecision and, one of those rare times in my life, I'm having a difficult time making a decision.

Merci Bruno ! Ca faisait longtemps que je ne t'avais pas eu en prof. :)
