Tip for September: Marking Things

For transferring pattern markings onto your fabric, chalk is still my preferred option. It comes out easily with a light brushing and is available in a variety of colours and forms: square, triangular, small rectangles, wooden pencils that can be sharpened and clutch-type pencils.

There's a special chalk for more delicate fabrics which disappears with steam pressing.

There are also no-trace marker pens where the marks disappear soon after being exposed to the air – this does mean you have to work quickly! but check you're not using the ones that only come out with washing or worse, don’t come out at all!

Whenever possible mark on the wrong side of the fabric. ... See MoreSee Less

Made Vintage - Midriff Blouse

My latest make is a one-off piece based on a vintage pattern – a midriff-length top with low ‘V’ front neckline. I've made it in pale lemon silk*. It has a pointed collar with a really lovely cross-over back neck detail. The front extensions fasten into a knot below the bust. Kimono ¾ length sleeves have three darts at the elbow. There are bust to waist front darts, a centre back seam and darts into the back waist.

To fit bust 86cm (34”). The finished back length is 37cm (14½”)

If you’re interested in purchasing this one-off, drop me an email: info@the-sewing-room-malvern.co.uk

*The irregularities and ‘slubs’ in the 100% silk fabric are part of its natural character. ... See MoreSee Less
