    After recently binging "The Queen's Gambit", I had a MIGHTY NEED to make myself a couple new pinafores. I decided to try a couple different styles and some fabric I recently picked up from the thrift store (opted for the NOT earth-toned ones... I know, who am I, right?) Anywho I hope you enjoy!
    I love you all!!

      Helpful hinty: I have a couple dozen pinafores that I wear every day over shirt/blouse and cape dresses and kirtles, and all of them are open-backed. Take a look at Amish designs. Those open backs can save you up to a yard of fabric when you’re piecing from remnants and castoff textiles. 😉
      These were marvy, by the by. You’re hilariously entertaining.

      😉Inherited three sewing machines, but still do seams by hand.
      Last time I used a machine was 7th grade sewing class. Needless to say I retain little from those days -- except the😨horror of trying to understand pattern instructions & how to measure something.
      Two things that might be simple for the average bear🐻, but are still torturously difficult tasks to me.
      🤔 Imagine being a straight "A" perfectionist who loves to 📚read about almost any subject who could not show mastery over those two skills. Let me tell you, I shed a lot of tears💧having a highly skilled seamstress mother & wood-working craftsman for a father.
      Luckily, I haven't let my "handicap" stop me tinkering at either thing. Found ways to work around my short-comings. When it comes to handy skills, just adjusted my bar to "good enough." Progress over perfection!✌😊🤙

      She is talking about typical fashion CZcamsr's, who do large hauls of off Wish and such websites all the time, just to create content.
      Of course, depending on where they buy from, they probably also just send lots of it back. But it still kinda promotes the 'quantity over quality' mindset, of course and triggers people's 'I wanna have that, too!' reflex.

    More unsolicited sewing advice: when making a multi-gored skirt and it appears as if the waist might be too tight because you don’t have enough fabric for another full panel, try cutting 2 (or more) strategically placed panels with wider-than-usual seam allowances, so you have a bit extra already in place to enlarge the circumference of the waistband.

    • @pricklypear7516
      @pricklypear7516 Před 3 lety +55

      A traditional pinafore usually has pockets. The garment is, after all, utilitarian in nature. One nifty design feature has a side opening such that the left pocket conceals the opening. The pocket pouch is only sewn halfway up its outside edge and the remaining sides neatly turned and hemmed. As the waistband is opened, the pocket sides "gape" to allow enough room to get it on and then folds neatly back in on itself. Anything to avoid having to put in a zipper, plus it's more authentic! I learned this trick from a child's pattern, Simplicity 9282, but it can be made to work with any waist-banded skirt.

    9 year old me is screaming inside over the mismatched directional plaid. Once you've been taught to match patterns, anything off is like an itch you can't scratch. I will say though, this is one of the few none matching choices I can tell myself to chill over a argue that it's a design choice to have the front focal panel be different.
    I really appreciate that you're willing to share your journey learning to sew as an adult. My Mom was adamant that we learned, as well as things like basic plumbing home repairs and car maintenance, but I know most of the kids I grew up with didn't get half as much teaching on those formerly considered "basic life skills". Now most of those kids may have gotten better paying jobs right out of college, but this year has really turned the tables on the structure our system of valuing certain types of knowledge over others, and hopefully created opportunities to bring people together (through zoom calls! NOBODY GO TO IN PERSON GATHERINGS RIGHT NOW, PLEASE!).
