The lost art of tailoring

While browsing Victoria blog (tenthousandsewinghours.blogspot.com). I ran across an article about gentleman Jim. He is a master tailor currently located in savanna Georgia. While browsing I am certainly excited about picking up some of his fabulous tips. He happens to be doing a give away for a two disk set of his tailoring techniques DVD. You have to check it out. Follow the link to gentleman Jim. http://finetailoringbyjim.blogspot.com/

Vogue 1245

Vogue 1245 is my latest project. In a nutshell this is a time consuming blouse. Although flattering on , its very time consuming.   There is a lot of narrow hemming and French seams. The ties take forever and honestly there are no shortcuts. I tried. I made the blouse out of chiffon I had in my stash. There is a very slight sheen almost like silk. It's very pretty. I lined it with grey georgette. Makes for a nice blouse.
