"I like contouring because it’s easy and it can save you a whole load of construction trouble if you do it right. I’ve had times when I haven’t contoured and I’m left with a whole load of excess fabric that I can’t get rid of, rendering the garment unwearable and it’s annoying! This tutorial will probably make a lot more sense if you watch my more in-depth tutorial on contouring! It’s not a prerequisite, but it will help."

When I don't know what to sew, apparently I sew jeans and jackets. I liked my first version of KS 3558 so much, I knew I would make it again eventually. Sewing this jacket was pretty quick. I didn't bother to bind the facing and hem edges as I did on the first. Denim is my comfort food for fabric. There's no question about right/wrong sides, presses very nicely, and is just easy to sew. What's not to love? =) Due to fluctuations in my weight, I added 3/8" to the front vertical seams for extra width. I could probably take the upper shoulder and waist in a bit. I started to doubt whether including the back pleats was a good idea. Trunk junk and pleats are normally never a good mix. It looks like a little shelf back there. Pressing the pleats definitely helped; wearing it for a full day will tell the true tale. The above picture shows how it rests on my backside. Yeah. Methinks this will be the one and only pleated peplum version. =) I added sleeve heads for cap support and taped the lapel roll line. I forgot to take pictures of the roll line, though. I contemplated topstitching the pleats. By the time I thought this was a good idea, I had already completed the back and I wasn't going to pick all of that apart. I can see this little jacket paired with quite a few skirts I already own. I might make this pattern one more time before retiring it for a while. I'd like a long-sleeved version for fall. I'll get pictures of me wearing the jacket soon. Up next: I'm working on four projects at the moment: New Look 6472 (two skirts) and Simplicity 2614 (tie-neck tops). I'll probably finish the skirts first - despite knowing that I really need shirts. Until next time, peace! L

Below is a tutorial on how to shirr with elastic thread. Before we begin, I must mention that this is a compilation of shirring techniques which I have learned from 3 specific resources: Portabellopixie, Craftstylish, and Heather Ross's book Weekend Sewing. And away we go....... Supplies ~ 1 spool of elastic thread ~ matching thread (must match your fabric) ~ fabric (i used Robert Kaufman's Kona Cotton Celery) ~ 1/4" elastic (optional) Instructions 1. Finish the upper raw edge of the bodice. I like to finish it by making a casing for a 1/4" elastic band. If you have 2 separate pieces (bodice and skirt) sewn together, you can turn the seam allowance into a casing for an additional band of elastic at the waist line. Simply finish the raw edge of the seam allowance and sew the edge of the SA to the bodice. After I have shirred the fabric, I then thread the elastic through the casing. This helps maintain and reinforce the shape of the garment. For now, just make the casing or finish the raw edges. You may want to mark your shirring lines on the fabric before you begin. Its recommended to mark every 1/4" to 1/2". I use my sewing foot to mark it (eyeball it), which works just fine for me and eliminates a step. If you are going to mark your fabric, mark the right side of the garment (visible side of the garment). Also, use tailors chalk, disappearing fabric ink, or some sort of erasable mark. 2. Wind the bobbin by hand with the elastic thread. It is very important not to stretch the elastic thread as you wind it. This is why you must do it by hand. There can not be any tension in the elastic thread. 3. Insert your bobbin into your sewing machine as you normally would. 4. Pull up the elastic thread as you normally would for regular bobbin thread. 5. I like to shirr with my walking foot. If you do not have a walking foot, then a regular foot will be just fine. With the right side of your garment facing up (elastic thread should be on the side that will not be visible on the completed garment), begin to take a few stitches, then back stitch to secure your thread. Stitch from one end to the other. 7. When you get to the end of your first row of stitches, back stitch and clip the threads. Turn the garment and begin sewing your next row the same way you did the first row. Another option (which is quicker) is when you get to the end of your first row of stitches, lift the presser foot, move the fabric over so that the needle is positioned over the next row. Lower the presser foot and needle. Pivot the fabric. Begin sewing the next row of stitches. Always back stitch when you come to the end of the elastic thread and make sure you have enough thread to complete a row. You may notice your first couple of rows don't gather as much as you'd like. Don't worry. As you continue to stitch more rows, your garment will gather more. 8. When you have completed shirring/smocking your garment, spray it with water. You will see your garment gather up nice and tight. Press your garment gently. Do not smooth the iron over the garment. Lightly press the gathers. 9. Thread your elastic through the casing/casings. 10. Stitch the elastic band ends to the garment. That's it! You're a shirr genius! Happy Creating =) Jamie Update: The Honey Girl Dress/Top sewing pattern (shown above) is available at Phat Fabric. Here's the link.
