Hush-A-Bye jersey camisole, v.2

2025-Feb-12, Wednesday 12:00 am
Base layers. Not the cold weather kind, but the kind that protect you from your clothes, and your clothes from you. Made from a, well, slippy-er, fabric, this could be part of a slip. But as it is, it's just a camisole. Perfect for under tops like shirts, where unruly buttons might cause embarrassment. To reduce a certain degree of clinging, and nuisance bodily fluids. And foiling transparency. But not something I would consider wearing on its own.

The Secrets of Sewing Lingerie; Hush-A-Bye jersey vest and shorts

2024-Aug-21, Wednesday 12:15 pm
The Secrets of Sewing Lingerie by Katherine Sheers and Laura Stanford, is lovely little book with a luxurious feel. It goes over the small details often overlooked on how to sew, and decorate, delicate undergarments. To this end it includes a selection of patterns, that come on folded paper, as a pull-out from the book.

Butterick 6031, view b, camisole

2023-May-16, Tuesday 06:45 pm
Butterick's 6031 is a camisole and slip pattern that is no longer available. I made this, from a kit, as part of a sew-along some time ago. But first I made a test version without all the lace. I realised, while sewing the Ruth top, that if I make a habit of more delicate tops that I'll either need to start lining them all, or make a few camisoles. So I dug out this pattern, intending to make the camisole version in basic knit, no lace.

V-neck camisole, made from measurements

2011-Nov-30, Wednesday 01:11 pm
Went to Craft Night at tog on Tuesday (15th), and actually had a productive evening! I did have to hog a large table, but other than using the floor there isn't any other way to cut out large pattern pieces. In that sew-along news I have all the underlining pieces cut out! Woo! But. I've decided that the fashion fabric, the second one, the purple crepe, is too shiny for this style of dress. *sigh* So I'm again at a standstill until I can find a fabric I'm happy with.

But that's okay, because in the meantime I've wandered off into a short little project; making a camisole.
( Trials and tribulations of construction )

But, for now, Ta-da, done!
