O primeiro projeto para a KCWC está pronto!
Usei um molde de vestido trapézio que já tinha usado aqui mas desta vez juntei uma gola e um bolso.
A decisão da posição do bolso foi difícil. Estive indecisa entre manter o vestido clássico com dois bolsos de chapa na frente ou optar por uma solução menos convencional com um só bolso lateral do género dos que têm as calças cargo. Ganhou a segunda!
Usei uma fazenda de lã cor-de-rosa para o corpo do vestido e um algodão Liberty of London de flores para gola. O forro foi feito em cetim da mesma cor.
Foi a primeira vez que usei cetim. Pensei que fosse um tecido mais difícil de trabalhar porque tem um ar muito escorregadio. Afinal não foi assim tão complicado.
Foi também a primeira vez que usei entretela numa peça de roupa. Usei uma relativamente fina e autocolante e também foi bastante fácil de aplicar. Foi divertido usar o ferro de engomar para colar a entretela ao tecido.
Claro que não demorou uma hora a fazer... Deu trabalho mas fiquei contente com o resultado. E a Inês já tem um vestido quentinho e arranjadinho para este Inverno.
My first project for KCWC is complete!
I used a A-line dress pattern that I had previously used here but this time added a peter pan collar and a pocket.
Deciding where to apply the pockets was difficult. I was torn between keeping the classic dress with two patch pockets on the front or go for a less conventional design with one side pocket like those the cargo pants have. The side pocket won!
I used a pink wool fabric for the body of the dress and a bit of flowered Liberty of London cotton for the peter pan collar. The liner was made in pink satin.
It was the first time I used satin. I thought it was a fabric that was hard to work with because it seems very slick. After all it was not that complicated.
It was also the first time I worked with an interfacing on a garment. I used a relatively lightweight and Iron-on adhesive one and was very easy to apply. It was fun to use the iron to glue the interfacing to the fabric.
Of course the dress did not take one hour to sew ... It took a lot of work but I was happy with the result. And Ines already has a warm and fancy dress for this winter.
