True Bias

The Dani pattern features a pair of trousers and shorts with a stylish elasticated paperbag waist, inseam and rear pockets and cuff. The shorts have a 3in inseam while the trousers hit the ankle with a 27½in inseam. Make both with a zip fly and two buttons at the waist, or with a full elastic waistband for an easy pull on fit. This pattern comes in sizes 0-18 and 14-32. Another pattern to look out for is the Zoey Tank/Dress. This fitted knit tank top and dress has a soft front V-neck and low scooped back neckline that skims the ankle. The armholes and necklines are finished with 5/8in wide bands and this fit and flare dress you can make with centre-front and back seams to give it extra shape. The tank top has a cropped length hitting around the natural waist or end around the hipline. This printed pattern is available in size 0-18.

The inseam is moved forward to give a comfortable and well-fitting trouser for every occasion.

The Cannes Wide-Legged Trousers are classic high-waisted, pleated-front, ultra-wide-legged trousers with a zipper fly, slanted pockets, back darts for shaping, belt loops, and sash. These look good on all body shapes, and can be worn from day to night with glamour and elegance. Sew them in a drapey fabric so they billow and move with you.

The Santa Rosa Top + Dress is a sophisticated pattern with a band collar, pop-over button placket, and dolman sleeves. It’s cut loose with dropped shoulders and a centre-back box pleat. Make the top with cut-on dolman short sleeves, and the dress with a self tie, curved shirttail hem, and long sleeves with classic cuffs.

The Sintra Halter Top + Dress has an elegant halter with a rounded neckband and gathered front. This is a statement piece that can be worn alone or under a blazer. It closes with a simple button and buttonhole at the back. Make a classic seamless-front top, or sew with a peekaboo V-slit neckline or flowy above-the-knee dress silhouette, the choice is yours!

MAKING THE Sadie Trousers from Style Arc!

By Jacqui Smith

My fabric choice

Bengaline has a long history and was originally made from silk and cotton, nowadays it tends to be a rayon (plant-based cellulose) blended with elastane. It’s generally a mid-weight fabric with a lot of stretch but also it has great recovery making it the perfect fabric for trousers, where you want some stretch, but also a fabric that gives more of a tailored and smart appearance.

One key factor to note with Bengaline is that the stretch runs along the length of the fabric rather than across. This means that you’ll need to cut your pattern pieces out differently to the layout shown on the instructions you are using. As the fabric I used here is 150cm wide and it takes 1.5m so this wasn’t difficult. Simply fold the fabric in half along the selvedge so that you have a folded selvedge along both short sides and the two raw edges matching along the opposite side to the fold. Then simply proceed with the layout shown in the pattern, this way the stretch will run around your body.

I pre-washed the fabric, but found it was worth overlocking or zigzag stitching along the raw edges before I did this, as the fabric does have a tendency to fray.

My pattern choice

I wanted a smart but comfortable pair of trousers for the summer that could be worn with lots of different tops and shoes. For this reason, I chose the Sadie trouser pattern from Style Arc, as this has exactly the same elasticated waist as I already have on some RTW trousers that I really like!

This design has exposed elastic around most of the waist, apart from the very front, so you will need to choose a matching or contrasting elastic with a nice finish. As with most Style Arc patterns the instructions are fairly minimal. This is not a problem apart from the finishing of the waist elastic. If you need help with this, there are a couple of detailed instructions on the internet plus Style Arc is always happy to help and send more information or images if you need them. They are adding more detailed instructions to their newer patterns and working on revisions to the older ones as well.

The big advantage I find with their patterns is the fit and these were no exception. The trousers fitted very well with no adjustments apart from reducing the length of elastic used for the waist. As the fabric has quite a lot of stretch, I also continued the elastic through the waistband at the front of the trousers, as this gave that section more stability. I also omitted the small splits at the bottom of the legs.

I think I may have found a new favourite fabric, and it’s Bengaline!

Summary

These turned out exactly as I had hoped! I know that I will wear them throughout the summer. They are so comfortable and definitely secret PJ’s!

EDITORS NOTES

THE PATTERN:

These are a great pull on trouser with a flat front and interestingly shaped pockets. The elastic is a feature and comes from the front panel and continues across the back. The ankle length leg has a very wearable and sophisticated tapered leg with a hem split. The top of the elastic sits on the natural waist.

Other fabric suggestions include silk, linen, crepe or any light weight woven fabric. This pattern comes in sizes 4-16 and 18-30. To view this pattern and others from Style Arc – click here

THE FABRIC:

Jacqui chose the navy tile print Bengaline from Modelo’s Tiaret collection, which is made from 73% Viscose, 23% Polyester and 4% Elastane and is perfect for garments that need a little stretch. It comes in 7 plain colours and 4 print designs. To view the full range of Bengaline from Modelo – click here

WELL-FITTING TROUSERS

Julie Bonnar from The Pattern Pages discusses things to consider when making your first pair of trousers

Evaluate your wardrobe

Have a look through your wardrobe to see what trouser styles you tend to like wearing, and evaluate what it is that you really like about them and what you don’t! This will help you choose the right pattern for you!

Take accurate body measurements

Using a measuring tape, measure the following:

Outside leg – Measure from the start of the waist down the outside of the hip to your ankle.

Inside leg – Measure the inside of the leg extending the tape from the groin to your ankle.

Hip – Measure the widest point of your hips.

Thigh – Measure the circumference at the widest point of your thigh.

Ankle – Measure around your ankle but allowing room to get your foot through.

Groin – Measure the distance from the waistband at the front to back waistband, following the groin line.

Choosing a simple pattern

Start by getting to grips with a simple trouser pattern, perhaps without a zipper or a more flowy style that doesn’t require as much fitting to begin with.

Make a toile

If there was a time when skipping making a toile was possiblethis really isn’t it! Make sure the fabric you choose is the same or similar in weight and stretch to the fabric that you are intending to sew with so that any fitting and alteration issues can be sorted out at this stage. Don’t stress the flaws in your toile, this is why you’re creating one in the first place!

TIP : Don’t worry about facings etc on a toile

Fitting

This is probably the thing that sewers dread the most. The key is reading the wrinkles and finding a solution for any drag lines. Go easy on yourself as even your favourite trousers will have wrinkles and pull-lines! The goal is to have the least wrinkles when standing!

Adjustments

Remember that most of us will need some sort of adjustment. Make any adjustments slowly and one by one. This way, you can tell which adjustment has worked and avoid making things worse with another adjustment.

Start by making your first toile straight based on your measurements on the pattern and see how it fits. Stand in front of a full-length mirror with your feet hip-width apart. Are the side seams in line with your legs? Does the waistband sit where it’s most comfortable?

Look at the front to see if there are any drag lines along the following areas - tummy, crotch, thighs or knees? Does anything feel too tight or uncomfortable - these are areas that you might like to adjust.

LOOKING FOR TIPS ON ADJUSTMENTS & FITS:

I recommend visiting the blogs and websites of pattern company designers. For example, here’s a link to Closet Core Patterns

Fabric choice

Select a fabric that’s easy to sew for your first pair of trousers but avoid slippery fabrics like satin and fabrics that are harder to manipulate like faux leather. Choose a fabric that is easy to work with like cotton, viscose or linen.

The most common adjustments and fixes:

Waistline - Does it gape away at the back? You will need to do a swayback adjustment.

Is it too tight on the waist? You’ll need to remove the darts. Bottom - Are they too tight on the bottom and gaping at centre back? A seam method adjustment may be necessary. Are they loose around the bottom? You will need to do a fisheye dart or full tummy adjustment.

Crotch - Are they pulling at the crotch? You will need to lower or raise this area.

Are there any tight horizontal lines? You will need to let out the side seams a little.

Thigh - Are they pulling tight around the crotch or loose on the thigh? You will need to add more width or take away from the front of the trouser.

Leg - Is it tight across your leg? Then a full calf adjustment is required.

Sewing tips

Grainlines - Make sure you cut your fabric/pattern on the grainline to avoid any twists in the fabric. Cut your pattern and seam allowances accurately too.

Tiny adjustments - Trousers don’t have much ease so even a small 5mm adjustment can have a big effect on how the garment fits.

Creasing - Always pay extra attention to pressing and creasing your trousers for best results.

Dip dye

THE TREND

Dip-dye comprises of the same multi-tone colour story but unlike tie-dye is more muted and toned down in its colour palette.

THE FABRIC

Most dip-dye and tie-dye fabrics are now dyed with fibre-reactive dyes, which work best on cellulose natural fibre such as cotton, hemp, rayon, double gauze and linen. Rachel Pinheiro used the traditional navy double gauze from the Sibu collection to make this slip dress from Friday Pattern Company for us. This Oeko-tex certified double gauze fabric is available in these colourways –navy, ochre, tan/mustard and rust.

MEET

MÖNSTERFABRIKEN

We chat to Sara Hallander, the designer behind this Swedish pattern company

Tell us a little about Mönsterfabriken?

We are a small Swedish sewing pattern company based in Stockholm. It all came about from a combination of the joy of sewing, as well as many years as an experienced pattern maker.

My drive is in the details, I always end up making patterns with some little extra detail, but it’s really important to me that the garment’s design stands the test of time so that sewers will make the patterns over and over again!

The name Mönsterfabriken might seem a bit odd to everyone who isn’t from Sweden but in Swedish it means the Pattern Factory!

What makes your sewing patterns different from other brands, and are your designs influenced by where you live?

I like to think Mönsterfabriken provides a different kind of style than what’s already available on the market.

I want the clothes to be feminine but also very practical, and that challenge the sewist!

Our primary focus is on the fit, together with making patterns easy to follow and alter. The designs are definitely influenced by Scandinavian style, with clean, stylish line and not so much fuss!

How many patterns do you have so far, and how often do you release new patterns?

At present, I have 20 patterns with three of them recently released a couple of weeks ago. The most recent ones are Ada Coat, Polly Waistcoat and Lizzie Wrap skirt. I try to release new patterns two to three times a year so I guess, the next time will be at the beginning of the autumn.

Tell us about your pattern sizing and how you grade for an inclusive range?

We have a slightly different approach when naming the sizes. I think in general it’s so hard to tell your true size when using the regular sizes such as S, M and L or equivalent.

Every brand has their own way of deciding what ‘size M’ should be and it’s rarely the same as another designer’s. Therefore, we use a different standard that’s designed by the EU to be a new ISO standard, where you use primary and secondary measurements to decide your size. For example for a top – you just measure your chest, which is the primary measurement for a top, and then the sizes are named after that. If your chest measurement is 88cm then your size is called 88. For a bottom, you would need your seat measurement and if the measurement is 98cm then your size is named 98!

The secondary measurement might in this case be the waist or the inseam to give you a clearer idea if you need to make any alterations for the garment to fit you perfectly. This is nothing

new since you always need to measure your body when choosing your size if you are sewing clothes.

To me when making clothes for yourself, it’s all about your body and nothing about standard sizes! The larger size range is adapted to a slightly curvier body than the smaller since a larger body shape doesn’t have the same shape as the smaller. Apart from being two different base patterns for the two size ranges, the grading is adapted to how the body changes with the sizes.

What do you love the most about sewing your clothes?

I think the best thing about sewing my own clothes is all the choices you have! When I create a pattern, I start with an idea of what it should look like with a particular fabric in mind. As the idea develops, I always end up with so many more ideas of fabric combinations and possible areas of use! My own personal list of sewing projects is endless!

What’s next for Mönsterfabriken? Do you have any new patterns in the pipeline?

As I have just released three new patterns last month, at the moment, I’m in the design phase for the next upcoming patterns I hope to have them ready for sewers soon after the summer!
