Dolce and Gabbana Eyelet-lace stretch satin trouser style.

Hello

I think is very clear that I am NOT a designer but a Sewer. I love sewing and if I like a piece of clothing I will do my best to make it.

When I saw this trousers from Dolce and Gabbana they screamed to me: Sexy and daring. I said to myself, I am going to make it.



I did start my SEW-search with the eyelet ribbon, I found it but not with the same eyelet distance. The another option was to make it myself, and then it will take forever. I decided to buy the one I found. 

Black stretch satin, good quality, made in Italy. Very happy. 

I bought meters and meters of black cord.

I did have black thread, zipper and fasteners. 

I made a cigarette pants with a stretch fabric and from it I made the pattern marking where the eyelet ribbon was going to be placed. 

Parts 1 and 2
Part 3
Part 4

My first issue was that the distance between eyelets in the tape is 2.5cm. It was not easy to place both side of the eyelet tape and make it fit with the cord.  

I realized that I should stretch a bit Parts 1 and 2 of the trouser.






Before completing the cord placement I sew the opening in the bottom back of the leg. Then the fly front zipper.

Suddenly the process stop because 10 meters of Eyelet tape was not enough, so I bought more and shipping takes time. 

When I was threading the cord at the bottom back of the leg I realized that it was done wrongly. I did have to look at the Pictures few times, then redo it.

This has been a cool Project to sew. I am suprised of myself. Every Project teachs me something. Give me more confident. Practice, practice and practice. 

It takes time because if you want a good result it's important to make a toile, take into consideration the small details and when you feel satisfied with the toile look and fit it's just a matter of taking the fashion fabric, cut and sew. 

I have finally been able to finish this sewing Project and here are the Pictures:

My TIBI Skirt version

Image
Hello Everyone.! As the title says this sewing project was inspired by the Silk faille skirt from TIBI. This skirt was a boom between bloggers, in colours red and lime green,  but when I checked the website of TIBI you also can find it in black.  I did'nt have Silk faille fabric but I remember that I did have taffeta which I bought long time ago. So, I decided to sew my own version. The pictures were took at my work place and there was so much wind, it was crazy, but here it is my Tibi skirt version           I dont know how Silk faille fabric behave but I can say that Taffeta is not the best option, it gets wrinkle very easy and you must use something under to avoid static electricity. And as I said the wind was crazy....       See you until my next article.

My Roland Mouret Neon Green Betley Top version

Image
Hei In my fabrics stash I did have some pieces of neon green crepe fabric. I love that color, and I did really want to do a Top with it. So, I managed to do a Top based on the dress from Roland Mouret called Betley, but I didn't have enough fabric for me to  be able to make the front part  in one piece that's why you see the top front part made of two pieces sew together. (Picture 1), the original do not have it. Picture 1   Picture 2   I didn't want the front part to be open in the belly area. I did also a small change in the back.   It's done...!

My Roland Mouret Lush dress version

Image
Hello Long time without making a post. I was on holidays in the sunny Creta. A while ago I bought a medium cotton woven fabric. I dont know how to describe the colour it's like dark fuchsia but not even sure. I did find quite hard to get a nice thread that could match the color of the fabric and even a zipper, so I decided to use black thread for contrasting with the dark fuchsia. The fabric was prewashed, pressed, the grain was squared-off for every piece of the dress to be cut. I must say that this fabric felt heavy during the sewing process. But I managed. I am quite happy with the result. In a previous post I uploaded a picture of the making process of the RM lush dress. http://myfashionhobbie.blogspot.no/2014/07/what-am-i-doing-nowadays.html When I was satisfied with the fitting of the whole etoile, the next step was to cut the pieces in the cotton woven fabric. Pieces of the dress I ordered the RIRI zipper from USA, and when I came back from Greece I have
