Scraptastic ! #6

Well well well … what are you doing here you? The #Scraptastic things are not for kids generally ???

NO MY DEAR !!!! This time, it’s just for me… and it’s so cool. : D

I didn’t have much left from this denim, let’s say a little less than a meter. It’s funny but in terms of Scraptastic Sewing, I am much less inspired when I still have a lot of scraps. So I stayed a moment to observe my lay plan, trying to find inspiration for children, when BAM, the idea: and if for once you tried to squeeze in something for you? Won’t the Deer and Doe Chataigne pieces enter perfectly on it ?

BINGOOO! It was time to try the scalloped hem version, with the regular waist.

Could someone tell me why I didn’t sew this one before ? This detail is so cute, and not complicated to sew. You just have to take your time.

For the size, I sewed a 40, and as for my previous versions (number 1) (number 2), the fit is good. Except at the back curve.

Look at that gulf. ^^ Need to fix this for the next one. I also lengthened the short of 2cms.

Still the concealed zipper on the side (which isn’t invisible at all when I wear the short, we agree: D), and small flowers for the lining.

PHOTOBOMBING !!!! ❤ ❤ ❤

Conclusion: I’m not wearing my previous versions very often, and it is a pity. When we took the pictures for the Pyjashort, I was worried about the outcome, and in the end I find it unfortunate not to dare more this garment, which suits me pretty good. So this scalloped hem Chataigne, that I intend to wear, winter and summer. I just have to learn to combine top and low garments : I’m so bad at this.

Let’s skik to the Ondée scraps ?

I didn’t have much left from this tubular jersey, but just enough to make me a panty. To do so, I opted for the Jalie 3242. This pattern has many qualities:

  • its incredible number of options: for only € 8 (PDF) you can sew panties for you, your daughter, choose between a high or low waist. You can sew a string. You can sew for your man, your son, briefs, boxers … or even … a jock. (Do not ask me what that is.) (I think it’s a string for man but I’m not sure.) (Note that this could make a great Christmas gift) (HONEY JUST KIDDING! )
  • extent of sizes. It starts at 12 months for children, to 13 years. Same in women: 34 to 52.
  • its “layers” option for the PDF. In other words: You can print only the pattern you want, in the size you are concerned, or even multiple sizes if you are between different sizes. And that’s just great.

Here, then, I chose the low waist panty, size T for the waist, size X for the hips. And then you’ll have to believe me (my husband said no to panty pictures 😀 ): it fits me like a glove. I’m SUPER HAPPY of it.

For the elastic, I opted for an elastic with lace on the edge (found at Bensimon, a wholesaler in Marseilles). And I added a little detail too cute …

… A bobbin thread button! Isn’t it cute? This is my sister in law who offered me a whole lot a long time ago, and I’m glad I found a project to use them. Seamstress panty! : D

Conclusion : I’m really glad to have invested in this pattern, which I feel will be my best friend for using knit scraps. Thank you Jalie for this great pattern !

Have a nice weekend Girls, take care. ❤

    I had exactly the same problem with my myrna too and it came out too big. I also skipped the keyhole but at least we know better for next time. It still looks lovely though.
