Back in the 70s when I learned to sew there only were commercial patterns from the Big Companies.... and I taught myself to sew by sticking the pattern sheets up on my bedroom wall and following every step.... so it can be done to learn that "old fashioned" way!!! Love your daily blogs thank you 😊

Lol When your cat covered your face, it actually made me laugh out loud! 😆Pets are such great friends. I have the SHJ Box fabric as well Luan, and I have no idea if I'll ever use it. The colors go beautifully with your hair! It's such fab fabric though. When I use it, it will def be out of my comfort zone.😹 Honestly, I think the pressing the waist seam toward the bodice is one of those industry standards kind of thing. I think it's used more for when a bodice has a lining and you place the lining edge over the stitch line of the seam to then tack/sew it closed. ?? You press it wherever your heart desires Luan!

The fleur is lovely. Regarding the direction of ironing the seam allowance, if you press it towards the flat fabric of the body the gathers will hang more smoothly. If you iron towards the peplum the gathers will stick out more fuffily. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it well but the bulk of the seam allowance pressed down behind the gathers will puff out the peplum. Giver Tigger a big smoochy kiss from me!

@antoniaburlingame59212 ай бұрын
Hi Ruan. I'm liking your diary; thanks for taking us along. On the gathers, I think it's like in a quilt... the more seams there are on one side of the seam, the more the fabric wants to be pressed to the other side. It lays flatter because the more bulky side doesn't have to make a turn back around toward the gathers or extra seams. The fabric kind of thinks it's rude to make it gather and then turn around and be pressed back toward the gathers to make things puffier. The bows turned out great, Antonia

Hi Ruan, another lovely make. Bows look brill, it would be a no vote on black bows for me, but I guess you don’t know until you try it. Seam up or down - I think it’s to do with the hanging on the finished garment. Pressing up makes the frill flow in a natural straight line. Whereas pressing down the gathering comes out then falls over the seam. If that makes sense. It’s like having a hook at the top of rather than a straight falling line. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your tips on how you keep my over locker clean. I’ve also found a brilliant piece of kit …. the flash dust mops. They work like the microfibre cloths. I don’t use the wand, just the cloth that slides on to the wand. I fluff it out then role it up loosely. You have to be careful to avoid the fine little hook inside by the looper needles as the fine fibres of cloth can get caught. But it takes away all the very small dust fibres in one wipe. Takes away all the crud that builds up on the knife blades, and a wipe of the machine and it’s like new. I use it on my main sewing machine too! You can use one cloth over and over and the refill boxes come in 10’s. Happy days!!!

The reason the seam on the waist is sewn/pressed up is the lower bodice is usually flat , so tighter, it allows the extra fabric of the gathers to flow and not be restricted by a flat bodice. Hope that makes sense.

Love the Fleur & agree it gives a totally different look in viscose. Re the shoulder, I think you should wear it first & see what you think is a few days time. The dress you had on at the start looks lovely on you. I had the same fabric from SHJ box & it wouldn’t have been one I would have chosen either - however you have reignited my interest in it so will need to look some pattern options.

Thanks for another daily chat! 😁 To me, the challenge with SA is probably the difference in some of the terms, and minimal words. With commercial patterns, and after 30-ish years using them with great success, I just couldn't get them to fit anymore. Both have a lot of their general sewing information before the actual instructions start, and on the pattern pieces themselves rather than in the step-by-step. Have fun! 🥰 Yes!! Sewing up the bulky fabrics! 🤣🤣 That's exactly why the last fabric I picked up to cut was this huge pile of double gauze that is soon to be 2 sets of Agnes PJs and 2 pj shorts for the Granddaughters!

Apparently pressing upwards is so that you do not flatten the gathers and when you press the gathers you’ll just gently put the iron into the gathers. I DID NOT KNOW THAT. So thanks.. made me go and check
