Missoni ニットワンピ + ボレロ / Missoni Knit Dress + Bolero

冬服一号です！先日買ったミッソーニでギャザーたっ～ぷりのワンピースが完成。当初、六枚はぎのフレアギャザーを考えてましたが、柄合わせが出来ないし生地的にハサミを入れすぎるのも不安で・・・。結局両脇も輪で裾幅分全てギャザーにしてみたら生地の重さとニットの編み目の粗さもあって私好みのボリュームになりました。黒の身頃はウールニットで以前作ったニットスーツとおなじ生地。お揃いのボレロも可愛いでしょ。次回はソフィアで買ったドルガバを検討中。

Hello readers! I'm happy to be able to post this Missoni dress cos I've been busy with my work and I'm always eager to make my clothes. So I quickly made this ensemble up. Do you see how much I added gather to this skirt? It's quite a lot. Cos the bottom width (f+b) is 220cm and this skirt doesn't even have side seams. The body and bolero is wool knit. This is the same fabric as Hand stitched knit suit I made before. Ok, I will get started next one soon. It will be with D&G, I think. Thank you for stopping by!

 

ちっちゃな針山 / Mini Mini Pincushion

生徒さんお手製のちっちゃな針山を頂きました。土台の部分は何とペットボトルのキャップだそうです。飾りに鈴までつけちゃうなんて！ほんと、ちっちゃくって可愛いですね。そこでひらめいたのが、針山リング！1cm幅のゴムを輪にして縫いつけちゃいました。机の上の針山にいちいち手をもってくのが煩わしいと思うのは私だけ？この針山リング、使ってみたら大きな指輪をはめてる位の感じだから使えそうかも。でも何か笑える・・・。

I got really cute pincushions from my mom's student in her sewing class! She made many of these for us and her classmates. A plastic bottle cap is used for the base, and Chilimen fabric is used for the cushion. (Chilimen is one of Japanese traditional fabric and often used for Kimono.) When I was taking pictures of these, a good (or maybe silly) idea came into my mind. The photo on the bottom, that is it! It's a pincushion ring! Funny? The part of the ring is just a elastic tape. I tired it on anyway but it didn't disturb hand work so much. I think it's useful. You want one?
