Mandarin. Another type of neck.

Publicada el 10 de abril de 2019 por AbelisDesigner

You’re tired of always seeing the same collars on shirts and dresses. They are always Peter’s neck pan or without collars. And let’s be honest, those collars are cute but if your style is romantic or sweet. But the mandarin neck is another form of neckline.

It is time to learn how to make other collars that favor more and serve different styles. This neck in concrete is very easy to make and it looks very nice. It conceals the neck and stylizes it.

Video tutorial to make mandarin neckline

In the video I show you the process to make this type of neck. I did not interline it because I did not want to but if you do it you will be more armed and more showy.

This is the last tutorial that I will upload sewing at the moment. In my Youtube Channel you have all the tutorials that are available. And if you join them all you will have a full video of how to make the dress Byzantium

Make gathered sleeves fast without despairing.

We all love those gathered sleeves that we see in romantic and period dresses, but we do not know how to make them without dying in the attempt.

Well, it’s not as difficult as it seems. There are several methods that can be followed to gather them. From passing a basting, pulling and gathering (it is easiest if the fabric is thin) to make the folds to the size that we want (for the most perfectionists).

I use a method that has worked well for me and is easy. In the sleeve hem I put an elastic band the size of my wrist. When sewing the rubber the sleeve is already puckered by itself and I can put the sleeve by the arm without having to make an opening.

If you are new, this mode will be very easy for you because it does not require having very advanced sewing skills. And if you already have more knowledge is a quick method to have them ready in a moment.

If you want you can use this method to do it in sleeves that are big or to gather the sleeves of shirts and dresses that you want. You just have to undo the hem of the sleeve a bit and sew the rubber.

Well, I do not roll up anymore and I leave the video so you can see how it is done.

And if you like the puckered sleeves I have several patterns with these sleeves so you can put into practice what you have learned in the video.

Dresses with gathered sleeves

The St. Petersburg dress for those who have more knowledge of sewing as it has several pieces to join.

Byzantium is another of the dresses for puckered sleeves. In fact it is the one you have in the video.

And one last example, the forest dress. A dress type 20s with low waist with steering wheel and peter pan collar.

If you want you can have one of my patterns for free. It has gathered sleeves so you can start with it.

How to sew sleeves

Publicada el 17 de febrero de 2019 por AbelisDesigner

Sewing sleeves, that great enemy.

Hello! How many of us have been afraid to face sewing sleeves? Until recently I only made summer clothes without sleeves.

But I lost the fear of sewing sleeves thanks to a teacher who taught me a super easy method to sew them. And today I want to share it with you.

Translation

The sleeves go straight with the curve of the front and back.
Follow the curve.
We will move the fabric with the needle inserted in it to be able to turn the fabric above and create the shape.

This way of doing it is the one that I use for everything. It is easier to turn around and sew it. And if you have to fix something, it’s better to remove it.

You can use it with any type of sleeve or garment, you just have to remember to leave the sides without sewing and open the garment well. And the shoulder seams must be open. In the previous post you have what it means.

It is a curve seam, you must pay attention to go turning without moving and give the necessary pickets. Of this I will speak to you in next post.

And the next post will not be about sewing. I have a new call to be a tester of summer patterns. If you are interested do not miss the March 1 post where I explain everything you need to know to try the patterns.

And put into practice what you have learned in the videos

How to pass the patterns to fabric

Publicada el 27 de enero de 2019 por AbelisDesigner

Hello!!! Here come the sewing tutorial videos, and the first is How to pass the patterns to fabric.

The first thing to say is that I do not have a professional camera or a sewing workshop where to work, so I apologize for the poor quality of the video and for seeing me on the floor.

In this videotutorial we will see how to pass the patterns to the fabric and cut the pieces. My employers go without margins and in most cases, unless I put the instructions usually go without them.

Video pass the patterns to the fabric

In the video, you have the steps that are going to be followed. They are the same ones that I use in the instructions so if you buy a pattern in the store and you get lost in one of the steps you just have to follow the video.

It is a very simple and easy step to follow. First thing is to know how to differentiate the edge of the fabric. Fold leaving the selvedges together and put the pieces that go to spine (in the fold of the cloth) the first ones.

A TIP: do not lift the fabric to put the safety pins. The fabric would move and it would not be the same.

The video is in spanish, but here I leave you the instructions translate them:

The patterns are placed on the back of the fabric, with the rights faced. We bend in a longitudinal direction, joining the selvedges of the fabric.
We hold the pieces with pins. The first one that we will place on the spine. It will be done by matching the fold line with the fold or spine of the fabric.
Draw the patterns with soap or roller and make the seam allowance to the entire contour (1.5cm).

And that’s all for this week. Do you follow other ways of doing it? Do you use a soap or a roller?

Sewing tutorial videos

Hello! I will be uploading videos of sewing tutorials to help you follow more easily the instructions of the patterns.

With these sewing tutorials with instructions of the steps in the video (only in Spanish), you will follow the instructions of my patterns more easily.

Most of the steps coincide in all the sewing tutorials, so it will always be the same video. I’ll be making videos as something new comes out that does not appear in the previous sewing tutorials.

Why video sewing tutorials?

Because videos are easier to follow and even if you do not speak the language in which the instructions are written, you can follow them without problems.

You will have them all in the blog so you do not miss any of them and always have them on hand. And for the new employers, I will put the links in the instructions so that you can go directly from there.

For those who are already made you only have to search here in the blog. With the search bar that is on the home page, with what you are looking for, Ready!

In the next week, we will start with the most basic and most important step of all. And what is also common to all:

How to pass the patterns to fabric

And every week (whenever possible) I’ll upload a new sewing tutorial on the blog.
