Round Twisted Cowl Scarf Tutorial

With such a long descriptive title I'm sure you can already guess the steps!



When I introduced the awesome cowl pants I promised a tute for the scarf...









See this post for the blanket stitch tute

( Simona the dummy posing in front of the shelves to show you I've cleaned them:D Isn't she such a doll?!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I made a pair of pants and a scarf out of 3 m of this fabric and these were the only pieces left. I love it when patterns are economical  and respect the fabric! I wish it was possible for more patterns, coz how many times do you really get to use the fabric scraps unless you've turned that into a science?:))

Anyways, even with so little amount left I thought of making a scrunchie! I know à° _à° ... you'll say... ◔_◔ scrunchie... 

In my defense, I didn't make scrunchies when it was "their time". So now I was feeling an acute scrunchie-making deficiency. I had to make a scrunchie. Love it‼♫♪

    Thanks for the tute Magda! I will try it once the winter arrives! Scraps are never to be thrown off,isn't it, now another reason for us to hoard them !!!

    Lakshmi YSW! Scraps are always an imagination test, so I kinda love them:)) (not that a scrunchie is the most imaginative thing, ..but anyways...:D)

    Hehe, the miniature purple cowl looks so funny perched on the mannequin like that!
    Thank you for the tutorial, your scarf looks just wonderful on you! I love the rich fabric! We call that an infinity scarf here, because it looks just like the symbol for infinity, and also because it only has one side once the twist has been put in. Like a moebius strip.

The Story Of The Exuberance Necklace

By
Once upon a time... after the big bang anyways... there was a sketch of a top for which I wanted to use  contrasting colors. Or maybe I bought the fabrics and then made this sketch... in any case, mesmerized by these iridescent shades of purple and green I took 2 m of each - let's call them gred and purpink. But the flow of this silk cotton and the idea of my top didn't really get along or I lost enthusiasm somewhere along the way, anyways after some time I was left with 2 m in bits and pieces of purpink and of course gred.

The contrast inspired me however to try something twisted both literally and figuratively- and it implied thick cotton fusible canvas and machine embroidery on the edge- which seemed like a tough task for my sewing machine from the very beginning but it wasn't enough for me to give up:D. In the virtual museum of the exuberance necklace this would be Exuberance Neanderthalensis ---------->








Each side was made out of 2 pieces so next I made a compact d…

First Time Cowl Pants

By
Alright, time to prove I learn new things! And I can get so excited!!


When I first saw this kind of pants on Lakshmi's blog I instantly realized their awesomeness so...here we are!:))


Super good news: She wrote a tutorial about how to make these, so go on, make a fab pair for yourself! It's not complicated and her instructions are all you need, I swear! Err ... and the usual: fabric, a sewing machine, elastic for waist ...

I bought 3m of this lovely fabric...



...but ending up having enough for a scarf too which bring us to another good news:) : I'll write a simple tute for this simple scarf this week!

Other details:
I added a stitch on the sides of the waist piece, along the side seam, using matching thread on top and elastic thread for the bobbin. I inserted 1 inch wide elastic for the waist band. The leg opening doesn't have bias strip - I just overlocked, folded and stitched. To get the top of the leg piece match the width of the waist piece I had to partially juxta…

Wrinkled Embroidered Floral Top

By
After coming back from my vacation I felt that my every day wardrobe needs refreshing. But from thinking to doing something about it - there's a long way! I had the floral fabric for a while now. Deciding about the design is always the hardest part.

The premise was to make something simple but somehow that never happens:)) For years I just left these fabrics aside because I didn't get any inspiration for that simple design that is complicated enough to please me:))
 I started working on this "tunic-like top" having something completely different in mind. Most of my designs imply asymmetry - that's not news anymore, is it?:)) That's what makes it click for me and I feel my best creations will always have an asymmetrical cut or detail.
Other features of this top: a small cream bow on one shoulder, sleeves with ties and slits on each side.



The treatment of the cream fabric is similar up to a point to what happens to my wrinkled necklaces and definitel…
