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!

Turquoise Dress, or When You Can See a Sea Wave Sea :-)
I was interested pretty long why the colour is called "sea wave" if the sea is mostly either grey and green, or blue and grey, or dark blue... And I hadn't seen the sea of such a colour until was about 18-20. At that time on some reason I lived at the seaside city and promenading along the coast on cold overcast days was much more fun for me than on sunny ones.
For sewing the dress #114 from Burda 11/2015 (lucky issue for me, by the way, I've already made three models from it and am planning a couple more) I used dense knits of dark sea wave hue.
It is quick and simple sewing. It would have taken me just several hours to make the dress, if on unknown reason I hadn't felt an urge to line it up. It is not necessary to do at all.
Stitch the ends of the facing to the shoulder seam allowance. Then turn it to the wrong side, fold by the shoulder line seam and stitch the facing to the end.
Turn the detail out out. As it well-seen here I didn't sew the facing completely because I was going to sew the lining to its outer edge. If you are not going to do that, before sewing the facing this edge must be processed in any way you like.
I like the jersey outfits with prolonged sleeves because of nice draping at the bottom. To form it the sleeve shouldn't be too wide at the hem. So I narrowed it for 1 cm from both sides. But in ready dress the effect of such draping is not noticeable so if I could predict that, I would have lengthened the sleeve for a couple more centimetres.
