Month: January 2015

First Bra Experience

January 30, 2015 Elena KnitsBra, Craftsy, Gerry, Lingerie, Sewing

One of the things I wanted to dip my feet into this year was bra making. The most popular bra patterns differ from the kinds of bra that I’m used to wearing, but I wanted to approach this like I did with shirt making: just an exercise to learn new …

Completed: Margot Pajama Bottoms

January 27, 2015 Elena KnitsFinished object, Gerry, rock'n'roll, rockabilly, Sewing, Socks

I bought this cotton flannel sheet in Retales Lidia by the kilo. I don’t remember the price, but it was ridiculously cheap and I still have tons left. First I wanted to make the Tofino pants, but I was not 100% convinced about the leg width and I wanted a …

Completed: Another 40s Style Blouse

January 25, 2015 Elena Knits1940s, Finished object, Gerry, rock'n'roll, rockabilly, Sewing, Tiki, Vintage

I promise that this is the last 40s style blouse that I’m making for a while, but I just needed to get it out of my system. I’m going to try a different pattern next time, but even if I don’t, I think I’m ready to attend the next rockabilly …

Petticoat Resources

January 21, 2015 Elena KnitsSewing, Vintage

One of the things that I would like to make one day is a petticoat. If I haven’t made it before it’s because I don’t think it will get a lot of wear. I spend most of my days at home and I’m not attending a lot of parties right …

Slow January

January 19, 2015 Elena KnitsGerry, Health, Knitting, Sewing, Thoughts, TV shows

Just twenty days have passed since the month started but it feels to me like a month and a half at least. After the Christmas frenzy and all the doctor appointments before that (including a gastroscopy that never happened), these days it seems that I just work, sew, knit and …

Completed: A Tiki Blouse in January

January 17, 2015 Elena KnitsFinished object, Gerry, Sewing, Tiki

And I don’t live in the Southern Hemisphere. It means how much I long for warmer weather, refreshing cocktails (those will not happen, I know) and the much expected tiki party. It’s Gertie’s 40s style blouse again made with some fabric that I bought this Christmas by the kilo at …

Sewing plans: pants

January 14, 2015 Elena Knitspants, planning, Sewing

One of the things I want to do this year is sewing pants again. I love my three Thurlow trousers I made in past years, but I want a different style this time. I’ve mentioned in my Top 5 of 2014 post that I will sew more things that are …

Completed: Monsters Blouse

January 12, 2015 Elena Knitsbowie, Finished object, rock'n'roll, rockabilly, Sewing, Vintage

One of the things that I’ve missed this year was going to a couple of rockabilly festivals. It’s difficult to attend this kind of events when you have food issues, but as soon as I get better, I’ll definitely go… and wear this blouse. It’s Gertie’s 40s style blouse again. …

January 5, 2015 Elena KnitsFinished object, Gerry, Review, Sewing

You probably know Thread Theory as a independent company designing sewing patterns for men. Well, to celebrate their second anniversary they have released a pattern for us, women: The Camas Blouse. On the original picture it appears as a loose top, so to make it more my style, I’ve made …
