About Me
- Oksana Starzhynska
- My blog's main subjects are sewing, the thing in which I am experienced the most, and beadwork, which is, in fact, pushed me into blogging. I am also engaged in knitting and crocheting. All together they are the set of skills which I use to make my wardrobe my whole life. These are not my only interests, I also like the English language (that's one of the reasons that my blog is bilingual), try to travel around my country and abroad (when can afford it), am interested in art (to the degree of a dilettante but nevertheless) and adore the people who can create anything beautiful or useful whatever it is :-) So welcome to a needlecrafter diary!

Trousers, or To Sew or not to Sew Is not the Question :-)
Festive time in Ukraine is not the best to sew fitting clothes. And it is better not to do that indeed. Despite the deep and firm belief that a couple of extra pounds doesn't make anybody a worse person there is one more even deeper persuasion that these pounds can make us less attractive. Besides, in my head I have a counter that converts all the extra pounds into the extra metres of fabric necessary for sewing clothes if the size gets bigger. And much more panic is provoked by the question how I'll be able to squeeze myself into all those dresses which had to be made two sizes more at once instead of accenting the figure, that can't be preserve anyway. I only wonder why having such ideas on the mind it never occurred just to eat less delicious festive food and move more... OK, let it be complex, so what? I guess when the person has only "first-rate... face, clothes, soul and thoughts" he risks to become tedious...:-)
Новорічно-різдвяне коло свят - не найкращий час шити прилягаючи речі. І насправді краще цього і не робити, бо незважаючи на наше щире і глибоке переконання в тому, що зайві кілограми не роблять нас поганою людиною, ще глибше у нас є ще твердіше переконання, що ця пара кілограмів може зробити нас менш привабливими. Крім того, у мене в голові стоїть такий лічильник, який всі додаткові кілограми конвертує у додаткові сантиметри тканини потрібні для пошиття одягу, якщо збільшується розмір. А ще більшу паніку викликає питання, як я влізу в оті всі сукні, які треба було одразу робити на два розміри більшими, а не підкреслювати якусь там фігуру, яку все одно не зберегти. При всьому цьому чомусь ніколи не спадає на думку просто менше їсти різних святкових смаколиків та більше рухатись... Ну і нехай це комплекс, адже коли у людини лише гарні "и лицо и одежда и душа и мысли" та жодних комплексів, вона ризикує стати нудною...:-)
Sewing a fly.
Sewing the top face (the right front).
The back centre seam.
After processing the top of the pants I made top stitching along the inner edge of the face by the waist line on the simple reason to prevent its scrolling while wearing the trousers.
The hem is sewed by slip stitch (three stitches in one cm).
As for my fastenig I chose hooks. The snaps could be used as well but I found the only one so the hooks won:-)
When I put the trousers on, my mum's first question was if I were able to sit... I could and very well! Despite its slim silhouette the outfit is pretty comfy. But probably because the fabric is thin I feel almost nude having them on so some day, I guess, the rest of the fabric yet will be spent for a jacket and not for the pants of other sizes:-)
