A red short skirt

From Patrones 279 is a lovely short skirt pattern from Designer Drykorn :

  






a lined skirt with :

- separately belt
- pleat in the midle (frontpiece)
- and a zip at the side.

















Here are the instructions ... in spanish :-(

I can't spanisch but it seemed not too difficult to put the pieces together...

I bought for a long time one meter red fabric ... perfect for this skirt!

It's a light wool fabric with 4% elasthan.

 

 I found in Cologne (in Germany) in a little but wonderful shop named "Plissée Becker" these unique buttons!!!

 

and here are the shoes who go fortuitous with the skirt! :-)

 

Skirt finished!

belt details:
Top-stitch on the belt pieces and on the loops

Skirt on me!

and here with the shoes :-)

At first I though I would make the skirt longer but I finally cut it like the pattern ... 

so... a little bit sexy :-)

The GDR Dress

This sewing- issue named PRAMO

is coming from the German Democratic Republic

from 1967!



I found in love with this dress and I must sew it!





Only too pieces :
one front and one back piece

but not so many instructions :-)

        and not very distinctives pattern!!! :-(






                              

                                  







But it wasn't too difficult to put the 2 pieces together :-)

I bought a heavy satin cotton fabric in an old rose color for a long time.
Perfect for this dress from the sixties.

I cut a front and back facing with the same fabric.
Neckline and armhole fit very good.

I used an unvisible zipper.







I made only one modification:

I must sew 2 darts at the back because it was too wide!
Ok, I have a hollow back that's why I must reduce the volume of the babric at the back.

The sixties necklines are often starting very high.
It looks very pretty but it's not so much confortable :-(

We are no longer accustomed with these necklines.

           




I 'm not yet tanned ...
but I'm on holiday next week :-)



but I already love it!!!

Patrones 292!

I began last summer a long dress , I bought fabric for a trench coat and for a blouse.
All of these projects from Patrones 292

I moved for about 2 months and I could not find again this revue!
I searched all around but.. no issue 292 in the flat :-(
I have a subscription by Patrones and I found all the issues... but not this only one :-(

But I had luck, I found the issue on the web :
