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!

3/4 Sleeve Tunic, or East Trace II
Imagination is a strange thing... for example, when learning at school I couldn't imagine what is electromagnetic induction, and I don't believe in any paranormal phenomena because I am sure that if something is impossible to explain, it means it was not studied enough yet. However, I can imagine easily that the things can live their own life... Of course, most likely we endow them with our own unconscious will... Well, what I am talking about.. all that is about the fabrics and other materials for handmade creativity and their wish to become useful things:-)
Дивна річ уява... я, наприклад, навчаючись в школі, не могла уявити, що таке електромагнітна індукція, або, скажімо, не вірю в жодні паранормальні явища, бо вважаю, що якщо якійсь факт не можна пояснити, це означає, що його просто ще не достатньо вивчили. Натомість, мені легко уявити, що речі можуть жити власним життям... Хоча, звісно, ми їх наділяємо власною волею, просто вона не свідома... То про що ж це я... так це я про тканини та інші матеріали для творчості і їхнє бажання ставати прикладними речами:-)
So, the pattern #107/108 from the special for me Burda 4/2016. I made something between two models. The tunic was cut for all the length I could afford on the fabric (and it is 10 cm shorter than the dress but much longer than the tunic in the magazine). I also added a collar and made the cuffs on the sleeves.
There is nothing complex in the sewing. As my fabric very colourful, I even had an idea to refuse from the plackets and just to process the neck hole with the facing. But then changed my mind. I don't rememeber when made such a placket last time so decided to have some practice to refresh the skill. Besides, the brightness of the material lets hide the fails of this work:-)
Then the plackets must be joined. At this step it is worthy to check the length of the ready slit. I shortened mine for 2 cm.
After the plackets turned out and stitched. The short cut must be done in the corners to the very end of the seam to arrange neatly the short edge of the placket on the wrong side. Then stitch it right from one corner to the other.
Then the short edge can be processed either with bias binding (if you want haute couture) or overlocked (as I did) :-)
As usual, at first I sewed the inner collar to the wrong side of the neck hole, then outer collar to the right side of the neck hole. I always work in this way to avoid hand stitching as more as possible (for the plackets it is the same). But nobody obliged to follow this way and can just follow the instruction.
The side slits are made like in this shirt.
