I then attached it. I found this method easier than ruffling and attaching at the same time, which is possible with the attachment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/3e91c71a-6f14-45ed-b776-70abdef66c75/BERNINA+RUFFLER+ATTACHEMENT+FOOT.jpg Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 4: THE SKIRT - Make it stand out The BERNINA ruffler attachment - looks complicated, but in my experience is quite easy to use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/895ef079-3e93-4361-84e7-7b63c7e6c699/WEDDING+SKRIT+LINING+BABY+HEM.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 4: THE SKIRT - Make it stand out The silk charmeuse lining layer was hemmed with a hemmer foot to create a delicate narrow hem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/f07d8e51-faba-4288-aac6-e19f5500765b/WEDDING+DRESS+ATTACHING+SKIRT+TO+BODICE.jpg Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 4: THE SKIRT - Make it stand out Time to put it all together! The layers of fabric on both the bodice and skirt, combined with the point of the Basque waist, made this a tricky task. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/af67baa2-4336-4b0d-a3f5-7a96d8be1571/INSIDE+BODICE+DETAIL+WEDDING+DRESS.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 4: THE SKIRT - Make it stand out The waistline seam contains all layers of the skirt, which are gathered, as well as all layers of the midriff pieces. To keep it as smooth and flat as possible, I covered the trimmed seam allowances in rayon seam binding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/552b666d-aae4-4ebd-a20f-b9636b7ba6a2/WEDDING+DRESS+LABEL.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 4: THE SKIRT - Make it stand out My custom label - this made the dress feel complete!

I’ll talk about my beading in a later post! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/3f0ddb2e-cccf-45fa-9c78-42e3a8a76b67/STRAPS+WEDDING+DRESS.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 3: BODICE FITTING - Make it stand out My straps are attached with a combination of hand and machine stitching, and they do not include elastic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/dcb66182-7d5e-4ac7-b2fc-6f168b5b69e4/WEDDING+DRESS+ARMSCYE+ADJUSTMENT.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 3: BODICE FITTING - Make it stand out While wearing the muslin, I scribbled the new shape onto the fabric. I then transferred this to my pattern tissue, and smoothed it out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/43975456-5d29-4f30-a390-4d5e97f1bc34/SPIRAL+STEEL+BONING.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 3: BODICE FITTING - Make it stand out I so enjoyed the feeling and effect of spiral steel boning that I put everything on hold and added it to other dresses in my closet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/441274d6-9fe1-4512-a85c-af9cff269b1f/INSIDE+BODICE+DETAIL+WEDDING+DRESS.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 3: BODICE FITTING - Make it stand out I took these photos to show where the boning is inside of the side seams, but let’s dive in and talk about everything inside my dress bodice: YES, IT’S WEIRD! I decided to assemble it like a theater costume, for easy alterations if I needed them. I could easily have made all seams full enclosed in the lining. Doing it this way gave me peace of mind that I could take in or let out the dress easily as the last minute if necessary. Seam allowances are enclosed in rayon seam binding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/24169e44-a72f-4da4-9519-7cea1340f772/INSIDE+BODICE+WEDDING+DRESS.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 3: BODICE FITTING - Make it stand out These photos were taken after the wedding. You can see how things have gotten a little roughed up inside - I catch stitched it so the seam binding could move without showing on the exterior of the dress, which is what happened. I added seam binding to the waist because the seam felt a little irritating against my skin, and the binding smoothed it out. Worked great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/197d9e99-feaf-4391-9715-0de45397ba80/WEDDING+DRESS+PRACTICE+DRESS+BLACK+LINEN.JPG Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 3: BODICE FITTING - Make it stand out My second practice dress - after trying this on, I knew I had my fit dialed in. So I moved on to my final dress, leaving this one unfinished. At some point, I will re-do this zipper and finish off the dress! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/7ac66442-67bf-4600-a3fb-3855a946bf12/WEDDING+DRESS+LAYERS+BASTED+TOGETHER+WITH+SILK+THREAD.jpg Blog - SEWING MY OWN WEDDING DRESS - PART 3: BODICE FITTING - Make it stand out Layers of fabric basted together with silk thread.

Below the roll line, padding stitches are more dense, and you can see how they are adding a rolled shape to the fabric. On the rest of the collar, they are more loose, and I made them more dense again at the collar points. When pressing, these stitches allow you to control and set the shape of your collar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/81650632-931a-437b-b5f8-c3ddc3356787/periwinkle+coat+pad+stitching+detail.jpg Blog - BASIC TAILORING - WHERE TO BEGIN WITH TAILORING YOUR COAT SEWING PROJECT - Make it stand out A detail of the pad stitching on the collar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/60e60160-fcba-4395-acd5-c478ec43b582/periwinkle+coat+pad+stitching+on+other+side.jpg Blog - BASIC TAILORING - WHERE TO BEGIN WITH TAILORING YOUR COAT SEWING PROJECT - Make it stand out Padding stitches attach the two layers of material (in this case wool coating and hair canvas), but should not be visible on the face of your fabric.

A sleeve head ensures that the seam allowances from your sleeve won’t create a lumpy surface on the exterior of your coat. They help fill the top edge of the sleeve, by the seam. Adding a sleeve head is an easy way to create a clean shoulder line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/999dbc7c-02bb-49b3-96d6-c4107205e585/periwinkle+coat+shell+inside+out.jpg Blog - BASIC TAILORING - WHERE TO BEGIN WITH TAILORING YOUR COAT SEWING PROJECT - Make it stand out There is a lot of time and hand sewing that goes into the guts of a coat!

Here I am walking over the Manhattan Bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/316337a1-3eb9-402d-bc2c-648059278ed1/B6720+fabric+detail+dior+boucle+wool+crop.jpg Blog - CLASSIC WOOL COAT - BUTTERICK B6720 PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out I love the contrast of matte, felted wool and shiny, wiggly viscose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/ad5ccec4-90b6-438f-b1f2-d6af8833f599/B6720+side+view+crop.jpg Blog - CLASSIC WOOL COAT - BUTTERICK B6720 PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/f0aed0b5-f63c-4971-a471-28926ace23f5/B6720+pocket+and+carriers+detail.JPG Blog - CLASSIC WOOL COAT - BUTTERICK B6720 PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out I added carriers (aka belt loops) and swapped the patch pockets for roomy in-seam pockets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/112732dd-c2e6-438d-97db-593e4f67c90f/B6720+front+lapels.jpg Blog - CLASSIC WOOL COAT - BUTTERICK B6720 PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out The collars are fully faced with a deep facing. When worn closed, this means you have four layers of fabric (plus interfacing) at center front - that makes the coat quite warm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/0ac3afdf-cf53-423c-937a-2c8a0a00710f/B6720+swing+tacks.jpg Blog - CLASSIC WOOL COAT - BUTTERICK B6720 PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Pattern includes clear instructions for this lovely swing tack, which holds the hem of your lining in place. It’s the same technique you see in hair wraps or some friendship bracelets. The hem of my coat was interfaced, serged, pressed up, and secured in place with a blind catch stitch. The lining was simply hemmed by machine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/7322fdc7-db51-40c2-bb5c-52bf5003c261/B6720+flat+piping+detail+crop.jpg Blog - CLASSIC WOOL COAT - BUTTERICK B6720 PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Here you can see how I sandwiched a colorful strip of bias cut fabric between the lining and the facing. This detail looks great when the coat is worn open, and is a fun thing to show off when someone can’t believe you sewed your own coat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/fb1709c2-8838-4ea1-8dc8-666818ea6b0b/B6720+back+crop.jpg Blog - CLASSIC WOOL COAT - BUTTERICK B6720 PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out The back of the coat. I did not have enough fabric to add a back vent - I just barely eked out the coat as it is. There is enough of an A-line shape to have walking ease, but a vent would allow more comfort when sitting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/9153be71-aaba-475a-a097-4ed793286013/B6720+front+standing.jpg Blog - CLASSIC WOOL COAT - BUTTERICK B6720 PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.burieddiamond.com/blog/2023/1/3/hncup0hzzyf02h8ivlx3m6t5viepd0 monthly 0.5 2024-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/a0c21356-86f5-45e3-8d70-4edf5e3b9199/blanca+3+2.jpg Blog - BLANCA FLIGHT SUIT - IN DEPTH SEWING PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/5cc02859-d90c-44e8-9751-02c6b33ffd7a/blanca+12+2.jpg Blog - BLANCA FLIGHT SUIT - IN DEPTH SEWING PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out My finished Black Flight Suit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/97021909-a807-4ec7-bcd5-042c48a4f2d7/blanca+back.+2.jpg Blog - BLANCA FLIGHT SUIT - IN DEPTH SEWING PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Hard to see any details in solid black, but I am really pleased with the fit of the pants portion of this jumpsuit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/470d842f-b306-4c13-900f-a3a7ad21d1c8/blanca+muslin.jpg Blog - BLANCA FLIGHT SUIT - IN DEPTH SEWING PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out You can see here that adding 1” to the bodice length was unnecessary - in fact it caused the whole bodice to push upwards towards my ears. This may have been fine in a drapey fabric like linen or rayon, but would not work in my 7oz denim. You can also see the shoulders are quite wide on me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/2dd45fc1-6145-46f4-bce8-0863e4b5eb94/blanca+7zipper+detail.jpg Blog - BLANCA FLIGHT SUIT - IN DEPTH SEWING PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Adding custom, shiny zipper pulls (sliders) and matching D rings elevated the whole look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/415e65f4-b89d-4d98-8f02-08e652ab8df0/blanca+back+waistband+detail.jpg Blog - BLANCA FLIGHT SUIT - IN DEPTH SEWING PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Here you can see the back pin tuck detail, the elasticated back waistband (usually hidden under the belt), and the way the pockets unfortunately buckle outwards as a result of the elastic. I may add a button at the center top of each pocket to hold things in place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/5e881d78-ace0-403a-ad41-09f692ccaac2/blanca+flight+suit+1.jpg Blog - BLANCA FLIGHT SUIT - IN DEPTH SEWING PATTERN REVIEW - Make it stand out Though a flight suit is a workwear classic, this version dresses up well! http://www.burieddiamond.com/blog/2022/11/29/zipper-shopping-guide-my-top-tips-for-online-zipper-shopping monthly 0.5 2025-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/8b45843f-dacb-41a4-832e-81e71c209f89/Custom+Zippers.jpg Blog - ZIPPER SHOPPING GUIDE - MY TOP TIPS FOR ONLINE ZIPPER SHOPPING - Make it stand out Customized zippers from Zippers & Thread. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/2029cb79-31ac-4192-8b30-8b6213e0929f/YKK+Zippers.jpg Blog - ZIPPER SHOPPING GUIDE - MY TOP TIPS FOR ONLINE ZIPPER SHOPPING - Make it stand out Classic YKK brass zippers with standard sliders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/5127f14f-681a-4cee-9e2d-8639ea26ce2c/zipper+slider+comparison.jpg Blog - ZIPPER SHOPPING GUIDE - MY TOP TIPS FOR ONLINE ZIPPER SHOPPING - Make it stand out A standard YKK zipper on the left, and the same kind of zipper on the right, but with an upgraded slider - elevates the whole look! http://www.burieddiamond.com/blog/2022/9/23/my-minimal-sewing-kit-what-i-packed-when-moving-abroad monthly 0.5 2024-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/52b0f179-8a90-4976-9b0b-56d0a9d2bc98/MMP+sewing+machine+Bernina+153QE.jpg Blog - MY MINIMAL SEWING KIT - WHAT I PACKED WHEN MOVING ABROAD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/20d8010f-0f64-4135-af81-7434b9399a50/TUTTO+SEWING+MACHINE+SUITCASE.jpg Blog - MY MINIMAL SEWING KIT - WHAT I PACKED WHEN MOVING ABROAD - Make it stand out My sewing machine suitcase is from Tutto and I love it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/a389f2f5-ed6d-4914-97ec-100720c93f4c/BERNINA+153QE+INSIDE+SUITCASE+2.jpg Blog - MY MINIMAL SEWING KIT - WHAT I PACKED WHEN MOVING ABROAD - Make it stand out My machine fits SNUGLY inside the case - it takes finesse to get it in there, but then I know it is safe even on a bumpy sidewalk.

I am not an expert on this! Jason has a degree in electrical engineering, so I had him take a look at things before bringing the machine to the UK. I have owned other sewing machines and overlockers, and this is the only one that has this capability - but its worth checking the back of your machine if you are moving abroad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/4adfb5d1-1779-4406-a3a6-d7fae3feac14/sewing+notions+kai+shears.jpg Blog - MY MINIMAL SEWING KIT - WHAT I PACKED WHEN MOVING ABROAD - Make it stand out My Kai 8” shears. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/82680a57-4b11-4c69-b375-7e3d78b87704/sewing+notions+kai+scissors.jpg Blog - MY MINIMAL SEWING KIT - WHAT I PACKED WHEN MOVING ABROAD - Make it stand out My beloved Kai 7150 scissors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/a5f4a1c0-f438-4d98-bc58-a4e7150d475e/sewing+notions+chisel+awl+seam+ripper.jpg Blog - MY MINIMAL SEWING KIT - WHAT I PACKED WHEN MOVING ABROAD - Make it stand out From top to bottom: buttonhole chisel, awl, seam ripper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/a3ab6792-9fdd-401d-986f-7c940d91bb00/sewing+notions+pins.jpg Blog - MY MINIMAL SEWING KIT - WHAT I PACKED WHEN MOVING ABROAD - Make it stand out I sewed in our bay window in Glasgow and Wow!

I added 1/2” seam allowances at first. After refining the patterns, I cut allowances down to 1/4”, which is all I need to serge the seams. I’d like to note: rubbing off a pattern from a RTW garment is NOT “self drafting”. Self drafting means you start with a set of measurements and drafting skills. Both are awesome methods! but they are very different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/2b8771ce-d728-4385-a150-8cb4e848b093/CAT+TOP+blog.jpg Blog - A WEEK OF KNITS Part 2 - Learnings from a Week of Sewing Simple Knit Garments - Make it stand out I kicked off my week of knits with this cat print cotton/lycra top.

THE ANXIETY OF THE UNFINISHED: Sewing UFOs, WIPs, Unfinished Sewing Projects - Make it stand out My most time consuming WIP is perhaps the most annoying one: I could just hem it and remove the trim and call it a day. But I want to remove the sleeves and re-make them in the blue print, and I need to complete about 8” of the hand sewn trim. Then I can hem it and be truly done with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1628248759280-8BUJXZVGM5B10WY3435A/corduroy+trousers+need+a+button.jpg Blog - THE ANXIETY OF THE UNFINISHED: Sewing UFOs, WIPs, Unfinished Sewing Projects - Make it stand out I bet I could finish these in 15 minutes: corduroy trousers from the Japanese pattern book “Big Clothes, Small Clothes”. They fit, they are well made. They need a button and buttonhole, and they are not my style. So I lost momentum and motivation. (Sorry about the lint.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1628248872576-LHIIVDB47LI42R3ONWUA/pajama+pants+hem+WIP.jpg Blog - THE ANXIETY OF THE UNFINISHED: Sewing UFOs, WIPs, Unfinished Sewing Projects - Make it stand out The only thing between me and wearing these pajama pants is winding a new bobbin and about 5 minutes of sewing. Shameful! lol https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1628249115696-8YPWVF4JHBELG88F4IMV/red+bandana+print+sundress+WIP.jpg Blog - THE ANXIETY OF THE UNFINISHED: Sewing UFOs, WIPs, Unfinished Sewing Projects - Make it stand out This dress has me so annoyed with myself. I should have made a muslin of the bodice - it has a poor fit at the moment. It’s also very difficult to get on and off, which is always a huge turn off for me. The skirt is great, and I bet I have enough scraps to make a totally different bodice if I can’t salvage this one. This WIP will be stuffed away for a few months, I’ve lost interest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1628249431439-9QOQFO051S3X0176POZ2/starry+night+victorian+ruffle+wip.jpg Blog - THE ANXIETY OF THE UNFINISHED: Sewing UFOs, WIPs, Unfinished Sewing Projects - Make it stand out I’ve been working on this dress steadily and luckily haven’t run into any major hiccups. The dress needs two hook & eyes sewn at the back neckline, and I am adding a slippery lining to the skirt.

Curating a Vintage Pattern Stash My main fabric & pattern stash is always on display. This is about half of my fabric, and I have 2 more boxes of patterns. Pattern storage boxes are from IKEA, purchased in 2009. Sadly, they no longer make this style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1607354303722-CT5IU10VXHGIGRIWZ22U/IMG_3659.jpg Blog - WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE PATTERNS? - I'll Tell Ya! Curating a Vintage Pattern Stash My vintage patterns are organized by brand, more contemporary patterns are organized by style (dresss, tops, coats, pants, etc.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1607618207288-T6I5RDPKZXN8FPIKQSQ4/butterick+6459+and+butterick+4397.jpg Blog - WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE PATTERNS? - I'll Tell Ya! Curating a Vintage Pattern Stash Butterick was the first brand I began collecting, and I have a real soft spot for their envelope illustrations, which I find to be fairly accurate representations of the patterns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1607354366034-HKUEQDPBHYAPMQHORF0Z/IMG_3668.jpg Blog - WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE PATTERNS? - I'll Tell Ya! Curating a Vintage Pattern Stash I have been stashing patterns for a long time. I bought both of these patterns when they were new releases. V1178 by Anna Sui is from 2010, but I sewed & reviewed it more recently. V8280 was printed in 2007, and I still have and wear the dress I sewed that year! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1607354583152-CIZIC2F3MPT8SVU7UPSV/IMG_3661.jpg Blog - WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE PATTERNS? - I'll Tell Ya!

Curating a Vintage Pattern Stash I love vintage Vogue patterns. I’ve muslined the dress on the left, but it needs adjustments (it’s designed to be worn with a bra from its era).

It will brush off easily after your pieces are assembled. I learned this trick the hard way. Here I am pointing to an area I needed to clip, but I don’t like how it isn’t neat and tidy. I am not sure how I could have done this differently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1572457446685-2Y1YWCX9Q3NBIDLZCVFD/shell+waist+stay+organza.jpg Blog - McCALLS 7848 - SEWING A COAT PART 3: SHELL CONSTRUCTION A peek at the organza selvedge I added to my waist seam to prevent stretching. You can also see that I didn’t think ahead to serge the seam allowances of my bodice. I zig zag stitched the bodice seam allowances after assmbling, because it was easier to get them under my sewing machine foot than shove them through my serger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1572457979974-VW6PLB82AEP52PO8NQ15/COAT+shoulder+armscye.jpg Blog - McCALLS 7848 - SEWING A COAT PART 3: SHELL CONSTRUCTION The sleeve eased into the armscye with no poufs or wrinkles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1572459565538-KC8MZX6LEHFVO12KZOP0/COAT+shoulder+pads.jpg Blog - McCALLS 7848 - SEWING A COAT PART 3: SHELL CONSTRUCTION I purchased 1/2” shoulder pads, but removed the basting that holds them together, to customize the height of the pads I will be using in my coat. Now that I know how shoulder pads are made, I can easily make my own for my next project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1572459258335-7NQQOKHJJTAH2CALU617/COAT+zipper.jpg Blog - McCALLS 7848 - SEWING A COAT PART 3: SHELL CONSTRUCTION I marked the 5/8” seam allowances with chalk on the face of my shell. This helped me place the zipper teeth just inside the seam allowance. Here you can also see how I clipped my seam allowances inside the collar. http://www.burieddiamond.com/blog/2019/10/22/mccalls-7848-part-2-pattern-alterations monthly 0.5 2024-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1572456633805-6ZF12T0RXYIRFWNLV8KN/COAT+PATTERN.jpg Blog - McCALLS 7848 - SEWING A COAT PART 2: PATTERN ALTERATIONS I love pattern tissue!

I like to use a highligher to outline each piece, in the size I am tracing. I trace onto medical supply tracing paper - it’s cheap and comes on a big roll. Be sure to mark notches, grainlines, and any other important notations. You will also need to add seam allowance! I added 1/2” allowances to my pieces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1569512283354-Y6G2CPQUWIP4BMEUW0FT/purple+jacket+marking+darts.jpg Blog - ULTRAVIOLET WOOL BOUCLE BURDA STYLE MAGAZINE ASYMMETRICAL CROPPED JACKET 09-2019-110A Sorry for the grainy pic, I’m always sewing after midnight.

MODIFIED LANDER PANTS IN DENIM For the cleanest results with top stitching, do not back stitch anywhere! Instead, pull the threads to the wrong side of the fabric/garment, and hand knot them. I like to then use a needle to bury them inside of seam allowance, for a clean finish. I did back stitch on the cuffs, which you can see here. http://www.burieddiamond.com/blog/2019/7/12/vintage-butterick-b4200-in-liberty-tana-cotton-lawn monthly 0.5 2024-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1562953191229-DXJB3Q2RFRY8YSJRSQKL/IMG_2477.jpg Blog - VINTAGE BUTTERICK #B4200 IN LIBERTY TANA COTTON LAWN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1562953390960-WYT1WG7OCDE8NN9SOUAM/IMG_2527.jpg Blog - VINTAGE BUTTERICK #B4200 IN LIBERTY TANA COTTON LAWN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1562953611287-Q9YJUUWRLVCPWB7H3RUS/photo1.jpg Blog - VINTAGE BUTTERICK #B4200 IN LIBERTY TANA COTTON LAWN Last year’s version of this dress - cheap & cheerful & worn to bits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53948037e4b0dd3db827adbb/1562954107019-84WNBC1FIAA4APEQHXHE/IMG_2749.jpg Blog - VINTAGE BUTTERICK #B4200 IN LIBERTY TANA COTTON LAWN The ruffle is folded in half so it has a clean top edge.
