Tutorial: She Carries Flowers. Hi all! I am participating Purse week over at Lemon Squeezy Home today, I hope you will enjoy my tutorial. :) I talked to you about my love of basket style handbags before, well, here’s where it all started. I was at Joann's one day and saw some woolen tweed fabric. There is something about the fabric, as I was touching it, I started thinking of what I could make with this... When I held one corner of the fabric sideways, the herringbone pattern on the fabric reminded me of a basket. Then an idea popped in my head to make a "flower basket" inspired bag for the upcoming seasons.
Yap, it might sound funny to you but that's how my brain works. :) I will share the tutorial with you today. {You will need} Wool, or wool like tweed fabric 1/2"yd100 cotton fabric for lining 1ydFusible fleece enough to put them on the back of the liningFusible interfacing (thick) 2 pieces of 2 1/2" x 19 1/2"Matching threadMagnet closure For flowers on the bag...you will need various fabrics, wools and buttons 1. 2. My vintage pattern stash. Sew a Full, Gathered Skirt. A lot of you went gaga over this taffeta skirt from Vogue's New Book for Better Sewing. Well, do I have a secret for you! This type of skirt is easy to replicate, no scrounging around for a vintage pattern required. This is part one of two in this tutorial. In this installment, you'll learn to make your own simple pattern for this skirt.This is a basic dirndl style skirt. Basically, that means that the pattern is composed of two rectangles: one for the skirt body, and one for the waistband.
First, you need a big rectangle for the skirt front and back. The skirt pattern piece will be 40" wide. Second, you need a long, skinny rectangle piece for the waistband. You want your waistband length to be your waist measurement plus one inch of ease. Now for the width, which will be 1-1/4" finished. So. Those are your two pattern pieces! My only disclaimer is that the measurements I'm using here were developed on my body. Westminster Fabrics.
