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!

Georgina Colour Buttoned Dress
Talks about suiting and non-suiting colours confuse me sometimes a lot. I agree that colours should match each other in the same outfit and overall but as for the certain palette every person must follow, I have doubts... To wear the same colours every day is boring and the simplest way to embellish everyday routine with diversity is to choose different colours for clothes. I like bright ones and I know either it is red or blue or purple - they suit me but if to read various bits of advice about my choice, they can in no way. And the proverb about different tastes doesn't work here because not to argue about tastes, the taste must be cultivated at first.
Я думаю, що прихильність до кольору - це як прихильність до аромату або до музики. Якщо він в гармонії з нашим станом душі, внутрішнім світом і настроєм, то він стає улюбленим і просто не може не личити. Якщо всередині нас щось змінюється, наша прихильність змінюється теж.
The change in the cutting concerns the front placket. I made it without interfacing but cut it in different way from the magazine's. From my previous posts it is known I prefer a single piece plackets but here it was not possible to make because of few front reliefs. So I drew three widths of the placket (3 cm x 3= 9 cm ) and added the seam allowances for the short sides and only for one long side. In this way one of the layers plays a part of interfacing but the placket saves its pliability and it almost doesn't gather in the seams when being sewed to the front.
Зміна в крої стосується планки переду. Я її зробила без прокладки, але кроїла в інший від журнального спосіб. З моїх попередніх дописів відомо, що мені подобаються цільнокроєні планки. Але тут таку не можна було зробити через рельєфи передньої частини. Отже я накреслила три ширини планки (3 см х 3= 9 см) і додала припуски на шви з коротких сторін і лише з однієї довгої. Таким чином один з шарів тканини слугує прокладкою, але при цьому планка зберігає пластичність і майже не збирається під час пришивання.
Then put the right side of the placket to the wrong side of the front and stitch along the centre. Then stitch the short sides. Bend the placket on the front and stitch it to the front.
The zest of the dress is its belt. Here I made it with the seam on the centre.
As my buckles' width is only 4 cm instead of 5, the belt is 4 cm width, too. And I top stitched it along the edges and twice more instead of triple.
Оскільки пряжки у мене завширшки 4 см замість 5, то і пояс - завширшки 4 см теж. І я відстрочила його вздовж краю по довгим сторонам і проклала дві оздоблювальні строчки замість трьох.
Despite pretty complex pattern the dress is worthy sewing. It has quite tight fitting but made from stretching material is comfortable enough. The dress is embellished with the beaded buttons. Almost all the seams of the dress are double top stitched.
