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!

Fitted Blouse, or Breakfast in the Garden
It is the second project (after this dress) inspired by my parents' garden beauty and, if to be exact, the very time of first roses' blossoming, they are usually three during the season. This time also is perfect to start having meals outdoors especially in the morning at weekend when nobody is in hurry, the air is fresh and full of gentle warmth and while sitting at the table you enjoy the view of the splendid blossoming. Such moments are the best to remind myself one of my granddad's proverbs "As long as one is at the table as long he is in Paradise"...
Після цієї сукні це мій другий проект натхненний красою садочка моїх батьків і, якщо вже точно казати, винятковим часом першого цвітіння троянд, яких буває зазвичай три за сезон. Цей час також найкращий для перших сніданків на подвір'ї, особливо ранком вихідного дня, коли ніхто нікуди не поспішає , повітря свіже і наповнене лагідним теплом і, поки сидиш за столом, насолоджуєшся пишним цвітінням. В такі моменти завжди дуже доречно згадується одна з улюблених приказок мого дідуся " Скільки, стільки і в раю"...
The blouse #117 from Burda 9/2013. It rarely happens when I don't save fabric for the sewing but this time I used all the length suggested in the magazine because my fabric was 135 cm wide. It is not worth mentioning that I noticed it only when cutting :-)
Generally, the sewing was not very simple, I made mistakes and remade some details few times. So cannot give advises. Some tips... maybe.
I cut detail #11 as a single one to provide the fitting made the dart from the waist.
The bands are sewed to the sides so if they suddenly untie, like in my photo, the blouse stays where it is.
The collar is sewed as always, at first to the wrong side and then to the right side of the blouse. Both seams by the machine
I was surprised with too long sleeve's cup. I had to gather it by the sewing machine stitching, I do this very rarely. Maybe I was sleepy when traced the pattern and was wrong with the size.
