Do you remember back at school the smell of plastic yellow raincoats? I just had to look at them closer. One thing I discovered is that you can lightly iron this fabric on the wrong side as long as you use a cotton ironing cloth.

This will stop the plastic from melting. I did a spot of ironing on some of the seams but I used my ironing cloth and ironing ham.

I only ironed each seam for no more than 5 seconds.

That was enough time to avoid ruining the fabric. Later on I realised that using an iron-on interfacing was not going to work to reinforce the front seams for buttons and buttonholes.

I used a wide strip of black woven fabric from my stash to give the front of the raincoat stability. I mulled about this before I started working on this project.

If the fabric had only been plastic, I may have used bias tape to finish the seams. The other finish that I would have loved to use on this coat was topstitching.

What I am investigating at the moment is using a light-weight sealant on these seams and until I find a decent one, this will be a faux-raincoat.

This pattern has a hood option so I will make the hood later and attach it using buttons on the outside of the collarband. Especially when it might rain.

Once I figure out how to seal the seams this will be a cool looking faux raincoat. I know I have a time of Odicoat in my sewing room.

New Look has a few relaxed style jumpsuits and dresses and this cotton broadcloth really stood up to the test of being worn on a 45C afternoon here in Sydney.

As soon as I received this fabric I gave it a wash and within 30 minutes it was dry and it looked like it had been ironed too.

The fabric is black and grey so when I chose the buttons, I filtered the buttons to 2 hole. Minerva website gives you that search ability.

The pattern suggests 1.

The cool thing about these buttons is they have a greyness to them in the centre so I was really chuffed when I received these in my package for this month.

I always look forward to the packages that the team at Minerva sends me.

Now I already owned New Look because I collect jumpsuit patterns. You can use both sides and get more use out of the fabric. This print on one side of the fabric is further from the selvedge that the other side of the fabric.

I used this to my advantage. The skirt pattern used for this dress is the same front and back. Now I have a prominent backside so I need to lower the back skirt.

The front skirt was cut along the print that was close to the selvedge. The back skirt piece was cut along the print side that was further from the selvedge.

And voila. It does create a really neat little black day dress to wear wherever you need to be. Heels or flat shoes — this dress works well with both.

Yes it crushes and creases are easy to see in light colour fabric so the black base of this fabric is much handier for my liking.

If you are using a hot iron, use a pressing cloth to avoid iron on the grey print. The print will melt onto your iron so just be careful.

When I looked at the pattern drawings I wondered what was used at the waist. The waist has elastic in the seams. I used an elastic from a previous order to finish off the waistline.

The button loop finish is a fitting feature for this print. Did I say that the skirt has pockets?

This pattern was better that I expected. I hope everyone has a great Enter Style Arc Avery tunic top using two light weight knits.

I bought size 8 and I did no adjustments to this pattern. I chose these fabrics because their dark but the print is summer beach worthy.

We will be hitting the beach a few times this month so I chose this tropical print for the contrast. Travelling long distances is constrictive and I had to choose fabrics that breath well.

These knits do just that. Travelling long distances means I need styles that give me room to move but have some fit elements to them. I had fun trying to decide what floral motif would be placed centre front so of course, I chose the hibiscus flower.

The leaf prints look nicely balanced at the shoulders so I was really chuffed with this outcome. Style Arc has designed this tunic to be used for both knits and woven fabrics.

I ordered the zipper. This zipper is too pretty to leave it in my zipper stash.

I did need to use lots of pins to get the stitching right. Thanks Minerva for supplying me with the pattern and fabrics to make this top to celebrate Christmas in this year.

Earlier this year I met Camille of Camimade patterns. Cami was looking at gorgeous silks as we were fabric shopping and it was only after I started to follow her instagram account that I saw how lovely her designs were.

Then there was the call out to pattern test so I agreed to pattern test. What you can clearly see is the finishing details of the split sleeve.

During testing Cami made some adjustments to the pattern and it now fits together easily. I made both the feulliage shirt to go with the Ecorce pants.

She looks stunning in these pieces. The front vents in the shirt version I made are best left closed. Now I do with the front vents closed.

I added a strip of black powermesh to sew these vents shut.

These are super easy to wear and a bit bigger than I should wear because I lost some weight at the time. The winter weight loss was intentional.

Oh my goodness the back vent at the hem is awesome. Maybe because it makes these super easy to wear from a practical point of view.

This was a test version and I wear these pants for housework. The wearable toiles do get used. What I love about these trousers are the leg shaping.

The usual pattern adjustments I did make was to lower the back crotch and shorten the front crotch. Once I tried these on again after losing a few kilos, I unpicked the waistband and easily took out the fullness that I had gained during the Winter months.

The seamlines are great for sizing this pattern up or down. In this case I made New Look a couple more times after the initial denim jacket.

This African wax print was my next jacket. It matches with my workhorse Janome sewing machine. The deadstock fabric has very little weight so it needed to be lined.

Adjustments or tweaking the pattern to fit is my favourite part of creating clothes.

In real life clothes need to allow me to move around easily and not cling to me. It would be terrible if I made lots of adjustments; had a top fit me snuggly; and then when I get in the car to drive somewhere the fabric across the back of my shoulders rips.

Sewing should bring you joy and not rivers of tears.

Admittedly, my Spring sway back adjustment is always less than my Winter sway back adjustment. On this occasion, I took out 3cm along the centre back seam at the waist.

Then I added this amount at the centre back hem and graded this to 0 at the side seams. I love the dropped shoulder look that you see in fashion.

This adjustment is easy. I move the shoulder points forward by taking out 1. I love, love, love lined jackets. This jacket is very easy to line.
