Nearing completion! And the hand sewing continues...Jump pleat at hemline sewn with a running-stitch and lining attached at zipper area with a fell-stitch. Waistline area has been basted to secure lining to the skirt in preparation of finishing techniques of the contour waist design of this skirt. 🙂 #handsewing #handsewn #fashionsewing #tartanskirt #blackwatchtartan #sewover50 #miniskirt #sewcialists #slowfashion #coutureskirt #couturesewing #couturesewingtechniques #susankhaljecouture
A fabulous book!!! Just got it yesterday! #sewing #couturesewing #diorbook #sewover50 #sewcialists #sewingtechniques
Moving forward...may as well follow through with posting the rest of the progress on this couture skirt. Here the inside of this skirt, seams catch-stitched to the underlining with the hemline secured. The catch-stitching here is doing double duty as I’ve kept these stitches close together and spaced at 3/8” apart so that they also will help keep the tartan from fraying too much. #blackwatchtartan #tartanskirt #blackwatchplaid #coutureskirt #handsewing #handsewn #sewover50 #susankhaljecouture #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #miniskirt #fashionsewing #slowfashion #slowsewing #couture #couturesewingtechniques #couturesewing
Hand picked zipper on Black Watch tartan skirt. I only needed to redo each side once! Very very happy with the result. Hand sewing rules!!!😀 PS: @carikim No jelly beans were harmed during the sewing of this zipper.😄#couturesewing #sewover50 #blackwatchtartan #tartan #tartanskirt #sewcialists #handsewing #sewapril2019 #plaidskirt #patternmatching #slowfashion #slowsewing
De-basting with Jazz & jelly beans! Why not make a pleasure task even more pleasurable! 😀 #couturesewing #tartanskirt #tartan #blackwatchtartan #handsewing #coutureskirt #jazz #jazzmasters #jellybeans #jellybelly
So excited to find this pattern in my mail today!!! Thanks to @abbymats for bringing this vintage 60’s design to my attention. 🙂 I found only one pattern available and it’s in my size! Now this will be a long project, to be sure. A fitted toile is in order for this detailed gem! I absolutely love the military flare of this dress design..... #couture #couturedress #Fabiani #voguecouturierdesign #vintagefashion #voguepatterns #albertofabiani #couturesewing
