I stumbled across this illustration - a Coke ad from 1957 - and thought it would be neat to attempt to get a thread going on illustrations of Ivy clothes...
Happy Tuesday everyone! I finished my household chores (vacuum, laundry, vessel in sink) and finally thought I should share my first attempt of sewing Shirt. I was thrilled when I decide to make shirt and very happy the way it turned out, better than what I thought. After sewing my clothes for so long, I was always scared to try boy's shirt. But I couldn't believe how quickly I could sew this little man's shirt! Joining collar to back bodice was a little tricky; otherwise the whole shirt was faster to sew. I made my pattern from one of his shirts; it had 3pattern pieces- front and back bodice and the sleeve which made it easier to sew. Oh and I can’t forget to mention the trial and error during the process. I traced the pattern on the fabric. However it hit me at a somewhat awkward shoulder line. I decided that it was one of place that in need of altering and corrected few measurements around shoulder and collar. I love this checked fabric from my stash laying there for long. I gave my best shot; and now ready to wear in public. I love the finished creation; it was not bad for first attempt. After a lovely weekend we were on our way back home. It was beautiful sunny afternoon I took these photos inside the car. Aryan was busy playing with his puppies. Anyway Aryan loved his full hand shirt! Isn't he looks cute. So what was your first attempt sewing project? Did it turn out better than what you thought?

A cloth study I did to try and make some photo real clothes after checking out Paul Liaw's Marvelous Designer tutorial. I tried to do as much as possible in Marvelous to see how far I could take it before moving to Zbrush. This was also my first real attempt at Substance Painter. A special thanks to Surface Mimic for the fine detail displacement maps. http://www.surfacemimic.com/gallery/
Is it just me or do you trust the stitches more on RTW garments than something you make your self? How many times have you laid flat on your bed, sucking in your tummy in an attempt to fasten your favourite trousers? I used to do, but since making most of my clothes there's no…
26) THE LILAC DREAM GOWN "I attempt to make clothes that men would fall in love with." I love this get-up so much that I created an extra post for this little gem alone which it so richly deserves in my opinion. I think that the Lilac Dream Gown is an appropriate name for this sublime dress…

The current menswear obsession of not looking obsessed with our clothes - sprezzatura - is not a new thing. The attempt to be intentionally nonchalant has been with us for decades, as this 1940 Stetson ad proves: Seventy-five years ago, as the 1930s and the "golden age of menswear" were coming to an end, guys were already concerned…

This little doll is made from a wooden clothes peg and was inspired by the beautiful Pomona dolls of the 1920s and 1930s. It took a bit of experimenting to get used to handling my knife and the wood - my first attempt ended in an amputated foot. I sawed the clothes peg to the length I wanted and carved out the legs and feet with a craft knife. The arms are cut from a very thin scrap of pine and attached with shortened sewing pins. The finished doll is 7cm or 2 3/4 inches tall.
On Monday I told you that I'd become fascinated by Kibbe bodytypes and wanted to try sewing some clothes inspired by the suggestions for Gamines. Well, here you are, a very basic first attempt! Two sweatshirts! Here are the factors that make these appropriate for the gamine body type: high neckline fitted at shoulders and…
