I'm a 20-something who just graduated from FIT NYC with a BFA in fashion design (specialized in intimate apparel). I will be bringing you thrift hauls, sewing, and up-cycling tutorials! I have a passion for reviving second-hand clothing. Let's make garments with a deeper sense of well-being!
Such a fantastic tutorial and the pattern is very beginner friendly! I sew a lot but have always been scared to line things. This was my first time and I cant begin to tell you how proud the end product made me feel! thank you again x
I love the sheen on the silk! Btw for other folks reading -- if you're doing this project please mind your mordants: cellulose (plant based, cottons, rayon etc) fabrics are generally a bit trickier to bind colors with. Ppl generally use just alum but I didn't find it satisfactory for my fabrics so I use alum acetate (1:1 mix of potassium alum sulfate & alum then chalking) rather than the lengthier tannin process that most ppl recommend. Protein based fabrics like 100% natural silk or wool are easier to color with. Also rather than boiling iron pellets you can opt to bulk buy additives like ferrous sulphate powder (darkening agent) or chalk (makes your colors more vivid), they're relatively cheap
