My Bucolic Life

Hello! Welcome to another episode in Making the Cardigan Jacket!! This time I am working that side front are that is eased into the shape of a dart... It's a little complicated to explain, but a lot easier to see on video. After that the front and side fronts are sewn together and pressed and ready for the next process.

Hello! This is the beginning of a series where I am going to show how to make this pattern in the non-couture way. Yes, I will be making it up in the Claire Shaffer method. But first, instead of a second plain mock up, I am going to make up this jacket as a trial run with fabrics, trims, linings, etc. Just to make sure it is right. The finished product should be a nice, ready to wear out cardigan jacket. So many steps though. A lot of the steps I will demonstrate in this series will carry over to the final Claire Shaffer version, so in that way, it is a chance to polish those skills before the final fabric is cut. Anyhow, I hope that you find this series interesting! ~Marie These are links to the amazon pages that list the following items I regularly use.

Hello! Welcome to Part 1 of this dress project. I'm using a sheer blue polyester fabric, and lining it with a bemburg rayon. For what looks like it should be a simple dress with no closures, the lining procedure is very tricky. It does have some fabulous full sleeves though! I did find a new stay tape though and show you the etsy shop where I purchased it. This part focuses on pattern alteration, cutting out and general construction. I hope you like it!

Hello! This is the very first part of my Vogue 8804- Couture Cardigan Jacket project. I will show you how and why I am altering the pattern to work for my daughter and also show my techniques for making a mock-up that she can try on. I should be able to see her on camera to see if anything else needs to be adjusted in the pattern before I get started with the final version.

Hello! This pencil skirt pattern is a classic shape with double darts on both sides of front and back. I am making the view with the little pleated fan type kick vent.

Hello! This pencil skirt pattern is a classic shape with double darts on both sides of front and back. I am making the view with the little pleated fan type kick vent. In this episode I am putting in a lapped zipper in the back, which is different than what the pattern calls for, but I like it better. I am also assembling the rest of the skirt. ~Marie These are links to the amazon pages that list the following items I regularly use.

Hello! This pencil skirt pattern is a classic shape with double darts on both sides of front and back. I am making the view with the little pleated fan type kick vent. This skirt pattern is also going to serve as the basic fitted skirt pattern that I will be using to make the couture skirt so it is important that I get it fitted correctly at this stage. I am making adjustments for a petite size, shortening both the overall length and the dart length, as well as giving you an idea of how I try to make a quick fitting mock up to use when sizing a skirt for someone else.

Hello! This is just a quick walk around my sewing room. Looking at my things and a little on how I organize and such. Not terribly dramatic but it gives you a better layout of my room. Hope you like it! ~Marie

Welcome to the final part of this epic adventure :) The shorts are underlined with a center back zipper. I changed around the order of construction, again, to put the zipper in earlier, but the pattern is cute.

Hello! Welcome to Part 2~ In this episode I am creating a Bathing suit out of lightweight cotton canvas. That sounds like a mistake, but it actually turned out pretty cute. I added rigilene boning in key parts to offer the support that was needed and adjusted the size, but other than that it was just following the pattern with some added tips and tricks along the way.

Hello! Just a little "staff meeting" type thingy. Changing my format and trying to improve things... Thanks! Marie

Hello! This pattern is so much fun! I am dividing the project into two separate videos, so here is the first. This beach cover-up is great. I encountered a sleeve that I chose to cut larger (to fit my arms) and showed a different way to adjust the pattern to make it fit. I also came across a mistake in the facing shoulder and had to make a choice how to go from there. I also lined the large pockets and stabilized the top to make it more secure. But, I think it turned out great. I hope you like it. Stay tuned for the Bathing Suit!!! ~Marie

Hello! Welcome to my journey loving, then not, then loving again the crinkle rayon I chose to make this great dress. I love the finished dress. SO SWOOSHY! It involved a strategy of stabilizing seam allowances in the bodice pieces, an invisible zipper placement with waist matching point, rows of pleated type tucks, a lot of gathering with my super thread and a rolled hem with a rolled hem foot. I hope you like it too! Thanks for watching :) ~Marie These are links to the amazon pages that list the following items I regularly use.

Hello! In this video I am putting a new lining into a vintage leather jacket. I am also replacing the pockets, and patching and mending a tear in the fur collar. Of course, every jacket is different, but the basic steps can be generally applied when you are working to reline leather. I hope it is helpful :) ~Marie

Hello! To finally wrap "top off" little retro outfit, I am quickly putting together a pillbox hat. I am making it with materials left over from the jacket and dress, and a cardboard box, but it turned out sweet. It goes together pretty quickly, and I hope you like it!

Hello! If you are seeing this video it is a miracle... So many technical difficulties... Anyhow, this jacket is sewn as a companion to my previous plaid retro styled dress using Butterick 6871 (also stay tuned for a hat video, hopefully). This jacket used an unorthodox fabric for the body, a polyester ultra suede type from the home dec aisle. I ended up creating custom shoulder pads... but alas the video became corrupted and unusable... also I used shoulder cap padding to round out the sleeve head, and lots of bias tape. And finally topping it out by sewing in a gold chain at the hem. Anyhow, it does look cute paired up with the intended dress and I will be showing you that in the next hat video too, hopefully. Sometimes technology seems to be laughing hysterically at me. ~Marie These are links to the amazon pages that list the following items I regularly use.

Hello! This time I am doing something a little different, of course, and sewing a cute retro styled dress. I am making it up in a plaid fabric, so that means a lot of matching. Also, putting in an invisible zipper, while matching plaids successfully feels pretty good. There is some pattern modification to make sleeves that seem too narrow, and also adding a little extra ease into the hip area.
