burdastyle coat 116|SEW WITH ME!| BurdaStyle coat 08/2016 #116

In this video, part 1, I talk about my fabric choice and also give a step-by-step breakdown for sewing the outer coat up until the attachment of the facing.

About BurdaStyle coat 116:
“This multi-faceted classic includes a full-length shawl collar and deep set-in sleeves. It is a great choice for every closet. The open front comes together with the tying belt that allows it to be worn close to the body, loosely drawn or fully open.”

Hope you’ll like the video and are encouraged to sew your own!

MADE | BurdaStyle Parka 09/2012 #129

By

BurdaStyle Parka 09 2012 129 by Vivat VeritasMy new parka is ready for just in time for the coming cold! I’ve been wanting to make a parka since I realized I did not have a single item in Khaki color in my closet. I was deciding between this military jacket and BurdaStyle 09/2012 #129, but finally decided to go for the version with a hood.

Guess what, how much it cost to make this parka? 700 yen! That’s about 5 USD in today’s conversion. I bought 4 meters of khaki fabric, 2 meters of knit for lining, and 1 meter for sleeve lining all at Nippori Tomato. I had interface and buttons already. The material was cheap, but it took me about 10 hours to finish. BurdaStyle is notorious for confusing sewing instructions and this parka was no exception, unfortunately. Many of the instructions didn’t make sense. So, I had to use my gut instinct. I do not recommend this pattern for a sewing beginner. It has details like bellows pocket, fly front and button holes.

Size: I cut the smallest size, size 36.
Modifications: I read on BurdaStyle member project that she slimmed the sleeves a bit so I did the same. I took in about 10cm all around arm. I am glad I did this since even after the modification, the parka has plenty of room for laying.
What I love: The pockets. They are great. They fit a wallet, water bottle, iPhone, snacks… so many things. If I don’t feel like carrying my purse, I can just go out with this Parka.
What I would change: I found the elbow patch kind of unnecessary. If I were to do it, I might do it in leather or some other fabric with different texture.

I also hated the back vent. It’s slightly curved and it looks weird. The back hem itself has a slanted design, which I am not a huge fan of. I would modify it to have the straight hem.

I have something to say about the hood too. It is way too big to be functional. It covers your entire face so you can’t see what’s in front of you! I would definitely make it smaller next time.
Some fun variation ideas: Add some fur around the edge of the hood for some winter proof variation? Or use some kind of fluffy fabric for lining (except for sleeves). It might also be nice to add some breast pockets for additional details. Finally, replace the buttons with zipper.

Next up… I’m making a blue lace dress to wear to my friend’s wedding!

Mend & Make FABULOUS Book Feature

Mend and Make FABKOUS Book Feature1

About a year ago, I contributed some photos of my peplum top to a book editor to be included in the upcoming book. Recently, I found out that it was included in the book, Mend and Make FABULOUS, written by Denise Wild of The Sewing Studio and BurdaStyle.

Here is a summary of the book:

Not only does it show you how to mend rips and make essential alterations, it gives you a host of techniques for “glamming” up your clothes, whether that tired little item at the back of your wardrobe or that vintage find that might have lost its lustre! Full of easy-to-follow instructions as well as stunning examples from all the other sewing mavens out there who are turning drab into fab! Published byInterweave in the North America and Search Press in the UK. 

– from Rotovision Blog

Denise Wild著、Mend and Make FABULOUSという本のカバーに私の作ったぺプラムトップの写真が採用されました♪
この本は、ソーイングやDIY好きの人のための本ですが、タイトルは訳すと、「繕って素敵なものに作り変えよう」みたいな感じかな？
英語のみで、アマゾンで購入できます。

写真を提供したのをすっかり忘れていて（笑）、今日採用されてしかも本も発売されていると聞いて、嬉しかったです。
