Nykyisin tuntuu silt\u00e4, ett\u00e4 kaikissa projekteissani kest\u00e4\u00e4 ihan j\u00e4rjett\u00f6m\u00e4n kauan. Niinkuin nyt t\u00e4m\u00e4kin mekko. En edes ihan tarkkaan muista koska aloin ommella sit\u00e4. Se oli joskus syksyll\u00e4 tahi talvella. Sitten se j\u00e4i keskener\u00e4isten kasaan odottamaan ett\u00e4 jaksan kaavoittaa siihen hihat ja viimeistell\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4ntien. Nyt alkoi kaapista vaatteet loppumaan kun en ole ehtinyt pest\u00e4 pyykki\u00e4, joten aattelin ett\u00e4 no ei kai siin\u00e4 kauaa mene kun kietasen ne hihat kasaan. Meni yksi ilta. Piirsin hihat suoraan kankaalle ilman kaavaa, leikkasin ne ja kapeat kaitaleet rannekkeiksi, sek\u00e4 vinokaitaletta p\u00e4\u00e4ntien huolitteluun. Tadah! Yli puolen vuoden projekti on saatu p\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6kseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensimm\u00e4isell\u00e4 k\u00e4ytt\u00f6kerralla tuntui kuin olisin ollut pukeutunut y\u00f6paitaan, mutta totuin uuteen ilmeeseen melko pian. Mekko sai vaikutteita 1800-1900-lukujen taitteen reformityylist\u00e4 ja kotimekoista eik\u00e4 siin\u00e4 ole vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6ll\u00e4 muotolaskoksia tai vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6nauhaa. V\u00e4ljyys kootaan vy\u00f6ll\u00e4. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 hetkell\u00e4 minulla on kaksi varteenotettavaa vy\u00f6-vaihtoehtoa, molemmat nahkakurssilla itse tekem\u00e4ni historialliseen tyyliin sopivat. Pitk\u00e4 kapea keskiaikatyylinen vy\u00f6 on suosikkini koska sit\u00e4 voi helposti s\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4 lennosta. Uusin tulokas on vihre\u00e4 muotoiltu 1900-luvun alun tyylinen vy\u00f6. Parin p\u00e4iv\u00e4n k\u00e4yt\u00f6n j\u00e4lkeen olen kuitenkin todennut ett\u00e4 mekossa on vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6ll\u00e4 niin paljon v\u00e4ljyytt\u00e4, ett\u00e4 jonkinlainen huomaamaton kiristysnauha vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6n sis\u00e4puolella voisi olla paikallaan. Kujan sis\u00e4\u00e4n pujotettavalla kiristysnauhalla v\u00e4ljyyden saisi koottua vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6lle tasaisemmin, eik\u00e4 sit\u00e4 tarvitsisi p\u00e4iv\u00e4n aikana jatkuvasti s\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4. Todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti lis\u00e4\u00e4n sellaisen jossain vaiheessa. S\u00e4\u00e4dett\u00e4v\u00e4 vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6, olisi my\u00f6s luultavasti monik\u00e4ytt\u00f6isempi, jos haluan joskus k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 mekkoa ilman vy\u00f6t\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 on ensimm\u00e4inen valmiiksi tekem\u00e4ni uusi vaate sen j\u00e4lkeen kun aloitin Vintage-kapselivaatekaapin kokoamisen. T\u00e4h\u00e4n menness\u00e4 olen k\u00e4ynyt l\u00e4pi l\u00e4hinn\u00e4 lipaston, jossa s\u00e4ilyt\u00e4n alusvaatteita ja muita pienempi\u00e4 vaatekappaleita. Projekti etenee pikkuhiljaa. <\/p>\n\n\n

Nowadays, it seems that all my projects take an absurdly long time. Like this dress. I can’t even remember exactly when I started sewing it. It was sometime in the Autumn or Winter. Then it just sat in a pile of unfinished pieces, waiting for me to draft the sleeve pattern and finish the neckline. Now I was running out of clothes in the closet since I haven’t had time to do laundry, so I figured it wouldn’t take long to wrap up the sleeves. It took me one evening. I drew the sleeves directly on the fabric without a pattern, cut them and the narrow strip of fabric for cuffs, and a bias tape for the neckline. Tadah! Project for more than six months long is now completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time I used it, I felt like wearing a nightgown, but I got used to the new look pretty quickly. The dress was inspired by turn of 1800-1900’s reform-style and house dresses and has no darts or waistband at the waist. The loose fit is gathered with a belt. At the moment I have two belt options, both in the historical style, which I made myself in a leather crafting class. The long narrow medieval-style belt is my favourite because it can be easily adjusted on the fly. The latest arrival is a green shaped early 1900’s style belt. However, after a few days of wearing the dress, I’ve realised that there is so much extra fabric at the waist that some kind of discreet drawstring on the inside of the waist could be in order. With a drawstring inside, the looseness would be more evenly distributed around the waist, rather than having to constantly adjust it during the day. I will probably add drawstring later on. Adjustable waist would probably be more practical, in case I want to use the dress without a belt at some point,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first new piece of clothing I have finished since I started the vintage capsule wardrobe project. So far I have just gone through drawer where I keep my underwear and other smaller pieces of clothing. Project will proceed bit by bit. <\/p>\n\n\n

I use this longer than long belt a lot. It’s comfortable to wear and easy to adjust seamlessly, because it doesn’t have holes. Adjustment is done with a knot. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Pahoittelut taas tuhnuisista kuvista, kello oli jo l\u00e4hemm\u00e4s puolen y\u00f6n kun p\u00e4\u00e4sin kuvaamaan, eik\u00e4 tuo puhelimeni kamera edelleenk\u00e4\u00e4n oikein p\u00e4rj\u00e4\u00e4 h\u00e4m\u00e4r\u00e4ss\u00e4. Napit ovat helmi\u00e4ist\u00e4. \/
Apologies for blurry photos again. It was closer to midnight when I was able to take the photos. And my phone’s camera still doesn’t handle the dusk very well. Buttons are mother-of-pearl.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Vihre\u00e4n vy\u00f6n tein kev\u00e4\u00e4n nahkaty\u00f6kurssilla. Se on kasviparkittua nahkaa jota voi v\u00e4rj\u00e4t\u00e4 mieleisekseen. Sekoitin kirkkaanvihre\u00e4\u00e4n v\u00e4riin v\u00e4h\u00e4n mustaa jotta saisin s\u00e4vyn l\u00e4helle vihreit\u00e4 edwardiaanisen tyylin kenki\u00e4ni. Close enough. \/
I made this green belt on the leather crafting workshop in the spring. It is made of vegetable tanned leather, which you can stain what ever colour you like. I mixed little bit of black with bright green, to get the tone close to my green edwardian shoes. Close enough. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Belt is attached at the back with ribbon, because I didn’t want to add any bulky buckles and ribbon is adjustable. Option for adjustments is important for someone like me who has stomach problems. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n
