Simple Updates for My Summer Wardrobe

June 29, 2019 By Chie

Do you wear jewelry when you sew? 

AU-Rate gold ring lingerie sewing

It might seem strange but I purposefully keep my hands decorated while sewing. Unless I am dealing with delicate lace, where there is a possibility of damaging the fabric, I ornament my hands with the rings while sewing. It helps keep me motivated while sewing. There is a special connection between a seamstress and their hands so placing added emphasis on the main tools of my trade, my hands, is really helpful. also, when working on a piece one needs to keep in mind that they are creating something of beauty. how better to do that than to keep that one part of yourself that you focus on while sewing, beautiful?

Over the past few years, I’ve collected rings and bracelets. Although I love big statement pieces, for daily wear, My bread and butter staple is stacking multiple delicate gold pieces. If you choose a 14k or vermeil option, they won’t tarnish like gold plated pieces. I recently added this heart shaped eternity ring to my gold ring collection.

My Shibuito Mode, Kimono dress fashion show was last week and I will be posting some photos soon, but in having finished that big time and energy event, I decided to take a few days to work on a few things for myself. Lingerie, yay! I’ve attempted to sew bras in the past (here and here), but this is my first attempt at panties! Odd considering how much I sew that I’ve not spent more time on this kind of thing…But, as it turns out panties are quick and fun. The stretch stripe fabric was a left over from a kit I bought at Merckwaedigh. I just took sample patterns from what I already own, but I’ve seen great options online that are downloadable at Orange Lingerie.
