I made a pair Emily Culottes for myself last week for the Style Maker Fabrics Spring Canvas Blog Tour. I didn’t get to put any pockets in, because I couldn’t decide the type of pockets to add. But I really miss having some pockets to put my hands and my things in. Luckily, it’s not too late to add them […]

Today we'll be working on both sets of pockets – the inseam yoke pockets and the patch pockets. The post is divided up into two parts to make it more digestible, starting with the yoke pockets. There is a lot of topstitching in this post so if you're not feeling confident about that, check out yesterday's blog post, Our Top Tips for Professional Topstitching! With that, let's dive in. Inseam Yoke Pockets To begin, fold the top pocket flap up and out of the way. Pin to the yoke so that it doesn't get in the way of your stitching in the next step. Align the two layers of buttonhole openings to form one buttonhole, then stitch around it in a square approximately 1/8

I have been admiring the strong and beautiful back welt pockets that store-bought trousers/slacks have. They are different from the (single) welt pocket that you find in the front. They are also different from what we usually see in sewing tutorials. What’s different about them? They are attached to the waistband in the back and […]

One of my favorite authors is Edgar Allen Poe. As often as I have read his work, I still keep a dictionary near by as there are so many words that he uses that are sadly, no longer a part of, at least the common day English language. Language was used to create subtle differences. The same can be said for sewing techniques. It's easy enough to pleat a full skirt, or just gather it up, but what about cartridge pleating? Cartridge pleating can become a design detail, or it can be used as it was traditionally. Below you see cartridge pleating as a design detail. Here you see cartridge pleating used to control the fullness over the shoulder. You can see cartridge pleats used in graduation gowns and choir robes. The picture below is a great example of how the pleats allow for the fullness, but also keeps the fullness from rising up as it would in traditional gathering. Below is a different take on a pleating detail that I thought was rather interesting. I think this is a Chanel garment. I love the tiny sequins between each pleat. Although this is not a vintage garment, it's a great example of how cartridge pleats were used in skirts to control the gathering. This is a vintage garment. The cartridge pleating gives a very fitted look to the top of the sleeve before it explodes. You've seen this example before in a pocket inspiration post. A little difficult to wear something this large on the hips, but interesting nonetheless. I thought this example was especially pretty. Cartridge pleats used to create cuffs. Totally avant-garde. Here are a couple of examples from my own wardrobe. A little dress with a 1920's vibe. Rather than cartridge pleat the fullness, I did a number of gathering rows. This is a much simpler way of achieving basically the same effect. The sleeves on this suede jacket are done in the traditional cartridge pleating manner. Here you can see all the tiny little tucks. If you would like to give cartridge pleating a try, I found this website, http://historicalsewing.com/how-to-sew-cartridge-pleats The explanation is the best that I could find. This is a great tutorial especially if you think that you might want to do a period costume at some point. And finally, this is not cartridge pleating, but when I was searching for examples, I came across this jacket and I thought the design lines were just so pretty. Thought you might like to see it too :) Have a wonderful week! Rhonda

Well, Monday morning has slid into Monday afternoon. So sorry, I should have had myself a little more together this morning. An early morning appointment had me out of the house before I was able to finish my post. This past weekend I was in St. Louis and saw the production of The Magic Flute for which Issac Mizrahi designed the costumes and directed the opera. I was able to find lots of info, so I'll do a separate post about the production. Needless to say, it was absolutely delightful and the costumes were fabulous. I've been doing a little research on pocket inspiration and thought I would share a few ideas with you. Anything that adds a little unexpected twist to a garment is pure delight for me and pockets are the perfect place to add unexpected interest. Like the pleated and molded pocket below. An unexpected round breast pocket. Pretty ruffle detail that floats into the pocket. This is a great pocket. It seems to float in space. A must try. Don't worry, when I do, I'll share the process!! Vintage garments are always a great source for pocket inspiration. I love how the zipper has become a decorative detail on this pocket. The pockets become the focal point on this very simple dress. Without the arrow heads, the pockets could be lost. Beautiful tulip design highlighted with bias trim. The binding forms a bow. A double row of lips accents this welt pocket. And finally, such a pretty design from Jeanne Lanvin. Princess line seams are the perfect place to add pockets and show off a design. Hope your week is off to a great start. I have a lot to share with you this week, so I'll be back soon!! Rhonda
