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!

Asymmetric Dress, or Following the Spring
On unknown reason I am sure if this project had been made in autumn, as it meant to be at first, the colour would speak autumn language but as it is made in spring, as my projects live on their own will and have own division on seasons, I only can say that this colour is spring itself:-))
Невідомо чому, але я впевнена, що якби цю сукню було пошито восени, як це і мало бути, то її колір розмовляв би виключно мовою осені, але оскільки її пошито навесні, бо мої проекти живуть власним життям і мають власний розподіл на пори року, я можу сказати, що цей колір - то сама весна:-))
The chosen pattern is dress #110 from Burda 12/2015. I can't say I liked it from the first sight but when starting thinking over the outfit for this coral knits, I decided it was the best choice.
The pattern is for tall girls so the first changes concerned the drafts.. They had to be decreased for 2 cm along the pointed lines of all the details .
Next tip is about the pleats. It often happens when wearing clothes with pleats, the pleats are unpicking at the ends so to avoid that I make a couple of stitches athwart the pleat's.
But my main doubt before the sewing was if the fabric is not too dense and thick for this pattern. So after stitching the pleats I steamed them at first separately, then all together to make all those layers of the fabric thinner. I was afraid the ready seams would be rough or bulging.
Then I thought that the first pleats' allowance (both of the bodice and the skirt) mustn't be included into the seams. So when joining details 7 and 8, I stitched them in two steps. At first from the mark 1 to the mark 2, then I omitted the rest of the pleat and stitched the seam to the end.
Obviously when joining the front parts of the skirt, the pleat was also out of the seam.
One more thing must be done neatly not to look rough in the ready item. I mean the pressing of all the chaos got after sewing all the front details together:-)
