Kuumus tähendab õmblust/Hot weather means sewing

Selle 30 kraadise kuumaga ma lihtsalt ei suuda kududa. Võtab igalt poolt sügelema - nii palav on ju!!! Aga tänu sellele olen jällegi õmmelnud. Pükse. Kaks paar sama mustri järgi - ühed lühemad kui teised.

Õmblemisega pole ma muidu eriti tegelenud. Ma olen ikka algaja õmbleja. Aga kuna ma kududa praegu lihtsalt ei suuda, siis otsustasin, et tuleb hakata õmblema. Indu sain verypurpleperson.com'ist. Et õmblemine polegi midagi rasket, peab lihtsalt rohkem harjutama ja küll siis tulevad oskused ka. Kõigega on ju nii. Harjutama peab.

Ostsin siis endale mõnusat puuvillast kangast. Üks tükk oli ka mingi elastaani vm veniva sisaldusega. Ja muidugi alustasin ma sellest viimasest. Sest venivat on ju palju keerulisem õmmelda. Raske õppustel, kerge lahingus, õigus?! Ja sain tehtud siis sellised püksid.

Ülevalt laia kummiga. Ääred kanditud sama kangaga. Kuna ma masinaga ei suutnud seda teha nii, et ta ka ilusasti jääks siis tuli see töö teha käsitsi. Ja kui kellegil on häid nippe, kuidas sellist asja veniva kangaga teha siis väga tahaks kuulda ja õppida.

Teised pükste puhul kasutasin sama mustrit. Muster ise pärit Burdast 5/10. Pikemate pükste puhul lisasin ka peitetaskud või mis iganes neid kutsutakse. Ja see oli mul esimene taskute tegemine. :) Õnnelik olen, et polnudki tegelikult midagi keerulist - no seda tüüpi taskud. Need on puuvillased põlvpüksid. Saab nii lühemalt kui pikemalt kanda, sest äärte keeramiseks on ruumi küll.

Ravelry's midagi uut ka. Selle lõpetasin enne päris suurt kuumust ära.

Since it's 30 degrees Celcius here there is no way I'm knitting. It's just impossible for me this moment. So I took sewing machine out and started sewing. I haven't do that a lot. So I'm just a novice in that area. But after looking verypurpleperson blog I thought it wouldn't be bad to try. She makes sewing look so easy thing to do. (Those floral cotton pants are SO influenced by her latest floral fabrics projects). And I thought it's all about practice - just must practice and then comes the skills. Like with everything.

So I bought few nice cotton fabrics and also one smaller batch of some elastane containing fabric with pretty butterflies on it. And so I started sewing of course with that butterfly fabric 'cos it's so much more difficult (for me at least) to sew elastic than a cotton fabric. And they say what's difficult in training is easy in battle. And it was so. After sewing with cotton it was real easy. Actually even with butterfly fabric the most difficult thing was attaching the bindings. And I must admit that I had to do that by hand. 'Cos it was just impossible job for me. So if anyones has any great ideas how to attach elastic binding to an elastsic fabric then please do tell me Your tricks. I'd love to learn them.

For both pants I used same pattern. Ones are just shorter. For kneehight I added also side seam pockets and since it was my very first time to use pockets like that then I was happy to find out that they very easy to make. Sure will use them later on. As also the pattern. Real nice fit and easy to sew. It was from Burda 5/10.

Little something in ravelry also. (Even though I said I don't knit with this heat. And I don't any more. Just finished this one. )
