#sideseam

[badassindistress]

The rain is already washing the snow away so I will not be emerging from my lair for the rest of the day. Instead I'll be tailoring this dress my sister handed down to me to fit me. To do:

Ironing

Seamripping and lowering the hem

Taking in the seams at the back

Adding pockets to the sideseams

Maybe changing the neckline? We'll see how I feel

Let's see if I can make this a one day project!

On pair #3 now, and I must say: these pants are unique, as they have no outer sideseam. So the obvious solution is patch pockets!

But now I'm debating whether I want them on the outside or the inside...

Here's an idea of what it'd look like either way:

(And yeah, ideally, I'd have the pocket flaps either way, too; but I can omit them if they don't work out)

THE BLACK ESSENTIALS

Picture 1:

I've bought a beautiful blue velvet for the overdress. The underdress will be made from the leftover blue damask I used for my Ophelia gown. For the big sleeves I've found this off white fabric with silver. It's a bit too flashy for our liking (see left lower picture), so I'm going to tone it down by covering it with two layers of tulle (see left upper picture).

Picture 2:

I've been working on the damask undergown and it's now halfway finished. Most of the time was taken up by hand embroidering the flowers on the upper sleeves and the decorative trims which I forgot to photograph 😄.

Picture 3:

The underdress fits! Like mine I've made it shorter to save on fabric. The hand embroidered and beaded trims for the sleeves are also done. They just need to be pressed before I can sew them on the sleeves.

Picture 4:

And we have sleeves!!! They are still quite large for my daughter, but we've decided on this length keeping in mind that she'll probably grow a lot in the coming year.

The sleeves are made of a silvery white brocade with two layers of tulle over it to tone down the flashy silver pattern. The inside of the sleeves is still quite flashy and the brocade fabric wants to curl outside. So if I have time I may line the sleeves with either an offwhite taffeta or white cotton (depending on the amount I have of either in my stash). This will hopefully decrease the curling, but will at least tone down the fabric. But first I'm going to make the blue velvet overdress.

Picture 5:

I've started working on the overdress. It's just a simple two panel dress with a train in the back. Not visible in the picture, but I've sewn two ties in the sideseams. This dress is intentionally a bit too wide and too long for my daughter (It's more my size than hers) so she can grow into it.

I'm also planning the decoration of the neckline. I have a white/silver trim that matches the sleeve fabric, but it's not easy to curve it along the neckline without lots of pleats. It's looking a bit messy with all the pleats to be honest. I may just only use the small outer silver trims and embroider swirls between those.

Picture 6:

I don't think I've shared the pictures of the finished Arwen Requim dress for my daughter yet. Here it is, beautifully lit by the evening light.

one more thing before i make myself eat and do work. but if you're buying clothes at The Store and you want to check fiber content. it is clearly listed on the white shiny tag often sewn into the sideseam around waist level on shirts and in similarly unobtrusive places on other garments. it will list the percentage of each type of fiber on it. it will not say the weave. your t-shirt will say "100% cotton" or "60% cotton/40% recycled polyester" or something like that. and it won't say it's a jersey knit because virtually ALL the fucking t-shirts are jersey knits. you will not find a t-shirt at the store that is NOT a jersey knit. but you will find them with different fiber contents. clearly listed! on the white tag.

Today I worked on my painting some more!

Here's a picture of my assistant, Miss Pumpernickel. She's a very good helper

Also, I worked on the sideseams for this skirt/gown I've been working on. I've been dragging my feet for about a week on it, because I wanted to hand sew a French seam so that I was kind of pattern matching. In order to get the fullest, longest, skirt I could- I had to flip the weave for the back of the skirt. So the yellow lines meet, but the pattern is reversed in the back.

I had kind of wanted to finish this dress in a month but I shouldn't rush it just to be done.

I also made some hella grilled cheese sandwiches!

Chemise Sewalong 2025 - Step 4: Closing the sideseams.

Fold the whole chemise in half inside out so the sleeves are folded double and the gusset triangles are neatly on top of each other.

You can use a running backstitch for the long part of the sleeves and body. That’s one backstitch and then picking up a few running stitches on your needle before pulling the needle through. This is a lot quicker.

Tl:dr – sew sleeve and gusset and body sideseam.

Sewing machine: Sew the side, serge or zigzag any parts that aren’t selvedge and haven’t been serged already.

I'm kind of new to sewing, are there any rules about which direction we need to cut the fabric in for the 2025 chemise?

Good question! That's frequently the case, but not for this project because it's all squares, so everything is already on the straight grain (=following the weave of the fabric).

The only thing I recommend is to cut the body pieces as I put it in my cutting diagram, so the sideseams fall on the selvedges, the finished edges of the fabric. That saves a couple of hours of finishing 😄
