  Any chance the sewing machine in that pic is an old Jones? The box looks exactly the same as mine! :)

  You have some gorgeous creations! Thanks for sharing!

  Having looked through all your creations and besides admiring them, I couldn’t stop noting that you have something in common with Isabelle Huppert.. :)

  thanks for the comment on my wedding dress! i’m so happy with how it’s turned out. actually, the pattern isn’t very hard to start with, it’s the details that make it look complicated.

  I hope you are having much fun with your new machine. Congratulations. I’d rather have a new machine than a car or TV. Nehmah

  Oh and thanks for the comment on the jersey dress too. Good advice; I will definitely use it and do most of the pattern-free stuff with jersey for now! : )

  Thanks! This was my first attempt at working with stripes and it actually turned out pretty well for the most part. By the way I really love all of your creations, they are all so classic and beautiful!

  Hi there, thanks for the compliment! Yep I drafted the dress myself using the drafts of my ‘Denim Pleated Skirt’ I made last spring combining it with the bust and waist lines from a friend’s dress, comparing it with JJ’s bodice and Elaine’s "coffee date dress’’, divided the front part to accommodate button strip and Nancy’s collar and yoke, half appropriation really…

  Hey, thanks for you comment on the scalloped skirt. I have to admit that this creation was quite the experiment. I started by sewing the scalloped edges onto two layers of fabric and then turning them out, but it didn’t quite give me the shape I was thinking of. So instead I put strips of fusible interfacing on the backs of the strips of cotton and then cut out the scalloped edges. Like I said, it’s experimental and I was playing around with various ideas so we’ll see how it holds up and maybe I can come up with another method for a future skirt.

  Thank you very much for your nice comment. It was not so difficult to change the pattern, I only added the sleeves to a jumperskirt pattern. I sewd a lot of Lolita dresses in the past. Mostly I use patterns from the Gosu Rori (I can´t believe I fit in Japanese sizes). Natron&Soda is a great resource for patterns. I never really used one, but it is also a good inspiration.

  Hi Lauriana!
  Thank you so much. Yes, I drafted the kimono sleeves in one with the bodice, on a 90 degree angle to the CF, which gives a surprisingly free range of movement. I can easily raise my arms straight to the sky, even with a very fitted bodice, which was a problem for me with set-in sleeves. Many kimono sleeves are drafted maybe 60 degrees to the CF, and then you get the armraising problem. My word of advice: round off the part where the sleeve meets the bodice, similar to the underarm on this Burda shirt, except not as baggy. If you round the corner sufficiently, it can substitute the gusset, at least a little. It’s much faster to sew than a gusset.

  The only downside to the 90 degree sleeves is that you get a lot of wrinkles at the underarm area, because the extra fabric has to go somewhere. I don’t mind that look at all, though.

  Anyway, my compliments on your style!It is goth-ish without looking contrived, something I strived to do for five years before I gave up. And your drafting skills must be great. Especially your skirts seem to drape very well. Do you have a secret to that?

  Just wanted to say how much I love your designs. I love the mix of classic, retro and edgy. I find myself drawn to exactly the same silhouettes most of the time and love to mix them together on occasion. I find myself being inspired by your entire collection here. I’m only just starting to make clothes
  (I made quilts up till now) and find this site and people like you to be a huge relief, inspiration and ego boost all in one!

  Hi there, thanks for the comment on the plaid pants. About the rivets, we conveniently have a leather hole punch, which worked perfectly to make holes in the right spot. Insert the rivet and then there were two pieces of metal, one for the bottom and one for the top to hammer at. lol, I found the rivets a lot more fun to insert than adding belt loops, those are tedious.
