A gaping neckline can be a real pain in your finished dress. So here is how you can fix it: Before you start sewing your pattern you must do this important step - MAKE A TOILE/MUSLIN FIRST of the bodice or dress to nut out any fitting problems. That way there will be no tears at the end and another outfit thrown in the corner because it doesn't fit. Ok, so you've made your Toile - now is the time to try it on and see what fitting problems you have with your pattern. The problem I see for this Toile is the gaping front neckline and also the fitting at the bust. But for this lesson I'll just address the gaping front neckline. All a gaping neckline means is that the across chest is too big for you. So the across chest needs to be taken in. Step 1 pin in the excess fabric at the neckline making sure that you continue this down to nothing. It will end up looking like a dart and it should finish around just above the bust. If it goes lower than the bust almost to the waist - then your problem is that you have chosen a size too big for you. Step 2 Now to transfer that amount of excess to your pattern. Measure down to the point where the excess fabric dart finishes. Mark that on your pattern and square a line out to finish at the seam. Step 3 Now draw a line up to the neckline - say half way between the CF and the shoulder. Measure how much needs to be taken out of the pattern and halve it. Mark that amount on the pattern to the right of the first line at the neckline and draw a line back down to the first point. Step 4 Now fold the dart in and secure with tape. This is the time now to redraw the neckline if it needs it. The same amount of excess needs to also be taken out of the front neck facing. And that's it ladies - I hope this has helped one aspect of making an outfit fit your properly. And now you are ready to make a gorgeous new outfit for yourself.

Hallo ihr Lieben, das Desaster mit dem nicht-gelungenen Taschenbeutel konnte ich doch nicht so im Raum stehen lassen. Sowas nagt . . . Nachdem wir Sonntag kurzentschlossen noch beim großen Schweden waren, hab ich mir von dort noch Stoff mitgebracht. Der ist ja nicht so dünn und eigentlich eher so wie Canvas oder Dekostoff und damit kann man doch wirklich gut Beutel nähen. Nachdem das letzte Schnittmuster mir für eine Beuteltasche nicht wirklich gefiel hab ich den super Tipp bekommen mal nach Hippietaschen zu suchen. Danke nochmal an dieser Stelle. Dabei bin ich dann auch fündig geworden. Das SM muss man sich zwar selber malen und ist nicht zum Ausdrucken, das ist bei den Angaben der Maße und mit Abzählen der Kästchen aber nicht weiter schwierig. Jetzt gefällt der Beutel mir auch richtig gut wobei ich selber trotzdem kein Beutel-Träger werden werde.komischer Satz, oder? kleine Innentasche für`s Handy o.ä. Schlüsselwiederfinder ist in einem Krimskrams-Beutel bestimmt hilfreich Nun bin ich froh, mich nochmal dran gesetzt zuhaben und sagen kann: ich kann Beutel verlinkt bei Nähfrosch TT-Taschen Montagsfreuden Beutel statt Tüte
Spring has sprung and I have been sitting in my sun-drenched craft room over the weekend bathing in the warmth and fragrance of 1kg's worth of Yorkshire-grown dried lavender from Lavenderworld and making a ridiculous amount of lavender pouches. Here are a few to give you the idea: I really like how they turned out so I made a tutorial showing you how to make them too... Lavender Pyramid Tutorial To make one of these little guys you need two squares of fabric, a piece of ribbon and a handful of dried lavender. (My squares are around 8cm x 8cm and my ribbon is also 8cm long.) Start by placing a fabric square right side up on your work surface. Fold your ribbon piece in half and pin it diagonally to the top left corner of the fabric piece. Make sure your pin isn't too close to the corner so you don't damage your needle when sewing around later... Place the second fabric square right side down on top of the first square and pin the right hand edge of this sandwich. Take the sandwich to your sewing machine and run a straight stitch from the bottom left corner up, across, and down to the bottom right corner. (I line up the edge of my presser foot with the fabric edge as my seam allowance.) You've sewn three sides, make sure you leave the bottom side open for now. Clip the corners and if you want to be extra secure then run a zig zag stitch around as well to fix those raw edges. Now open out the bottom and match the seams. Remove your ribbon pin from inside and use it to pin the opening in place. Sew in a little way in from either corner leaving a small opening in the middle. Flip the whole thing right side out. Poke out the corners for a crisp finish. Turn opening edges under. Fashion a cone from a square piece of paper and tape in place. Use it to fill the pouch with lavender. When it's full, hand sew the opening closed with a whipstitch. Admire your little pyramid... And make some more: Put them in your drawers, wardrobe, bathroom, work desk, car or under your pillow. Anywhere! Or carry one in your handbag to help you de-stress on your way to and from work. They are so soothing and really do help you to relax and unwind. If you like the idea but don't have time to make these yourself then I have lots of little trios of lavender pyramids available in both my Etsy and Folksy shops. They make beautiful little gifts, perhaps for Mother's Day or as a non-chocolatey Easter treat alternative? Hope you liked this tutorial! Love Leanne xx Chi Chi Dee Handmade
