Making the grey top

Step 1

Cut out the lining and sewed it together. I used a linen tabelcloth as lining and didn't add any seam allowances to the top and bottom edge.

Klippte ut fodret och sydde ihop det. Jag använde en linneduk som foder och la inte till några sömsmåner till över- och nederkanten.

The lining of the grey top

This is what the inside looks like.

Step 2

Sewed the plastic things (what are they called in English?) onto the seams of the lining, and also to the sides of the back opening.

Sydde fast plastfjädrarna på fodrets sömmar, och dessutom längs ryggöppningens sidor.

The seams of the lining

The plastic things are behind the seams.

Step 3

Sewed the hooks and eyes to the sides of the back opening by hand.

Sydde fast hyskorna och hakarna runt ryggöppningen för hand.

The back closing

Closes with hooks and eyes at the back.

Step 4

Cut out bias strips from the lining fabric and sewed them to the top and bottom edge of the lining bodice.

Klippte ut snedremsor från fodertyget och sydde fast dem längs över- och nederkanten av foderlivet.

Step 5

Cut out the outer fabric and sewed it together. This time with seam allowances added to all sides.

Klippte ut yttertyget och sydde ihop det. Den här gången med sömsmåner tillagda på alla sidor.

The outside of the grey top

The outside.

Step 6

Pinned the outer fabric and the lining together. Folded the seam allowances of the outer fabric over and sewed it all together by hand. All done.

Nålade ihop yttertyget och fodret. Vek in yttertygets sömsmåner och sydde ihop allt för hand. Allt klart.

Handsewned stitches

The lining and outer fabric was handsewned together.

Of course I have to wear the stuff I've just made.

Självklart måste jag använda det jag just har gjort.

Grey topp

The same fabric as for the Weavezine skirt.

Orange dress

The orange fabric is indescribably beautiful.

Orange dress and grey top

I had planned to use a fabric for the dress that matched the grey better, but in a way I think this looks much cooler.

Reversible belt

The belt can be reversed.

Beige dress

Just a relatively fast project.

Dress with belt

The dress and the belt together.

A finished garment

Top made from handwoven fabric on dressform

It's much prettier in real life.

Not the only thing I've finished during the last few days, but definitively the one I like the best. The fabric is the leftovers from the skirt that can be seen in Weavezine.

Inte det enda som jag har gjort färdigt under de senaste dagarna, men helt klart den jag gillar mest. Tyget är spillet från kjolen som kan ses i Weavezine.
