<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">To start you off, I have had the slip that inspired this design for over ten years. It came to me via my dad via Bunny Bilson, a little tiny lady who lived in the White Mountains and at one point in time formed a sweet friendship with my--at the time--teenaged father. She was a ridiculously bad ass woman under five feet tall. After she died in 1993 my dad bought her house and everything inside of it--which is what she had wanted-- and all of her clothing became mine. Most of the textiles deteriorated at a single finger tip tough, but a few pieces had held up to the tests of mothballs and time quite well. Here is the story of one of the tougher items in the bunch.</span></div>

Created July 2019</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After painstakingly seam ripping this prized slip into pieces I preserved them in the form of a paper pattern. I kept this unadjusted version so I have the ability to exactly replicate the original if if I want to (it makes me feel just a little less heart broken about ripping apart the real thing). But now comes the fun part: designing and creating the dress <i>inspired</i> by this slip, not just recreating the slip. </div>

You rip apart the muslin, seam ripping all seams being sure not the stretch anything knit or tear anything woven. Muslins should come apart pretty easily as they should mostly be sewn with a basting stitch.</div>

I chose a dusky purplish-gray silk that I fund at Kats Exclusive Fabric located in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Kat's is one of my all time favorite fabric stores. From the outside it looks small, but oddly intimidating as you have to ring a doorbell and it always looks closed. But their selection is insanely gorgeous, and the store is bigger than it looks boasting three stories of textiles.</div>

I have found that the absolute key to creating even and smoothly rounded scalloping is a metal Varied Curve Form ruler, or a metal French Curve. Plastic is not as helpful because you can't press them--something I will explain later. This is not a crucial tool, but I highly recommend it, especially for the perfectionists among us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you do not have one of these rulers, find a traceable object that has the size curve you desire. Spools of thread, mugs, bowls, and jars all work well for tracing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, MAKE A PLAN.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When deciding what size scallop you'd like to create, be sure to measure the distance you'll be scalloping so that the scallops fit exactly into the desired space, and you don't end up with a half scallop, or a tiny scallop, at the end. Then use your ruler to trace a row of even curves along the edge of the fabric you would like to scallop. Your chalk marks should be on the wrong side of your material, and your fabric should be folded right sides together. For the purposes of this post I'm going to assuming we are scalloping a hem, though neck lines and cut-outs look gorgeous scalloped as well. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The smaller scallops you choose, the more difficult they will be to execute, to keep curved, and to keep even. Mark the intersection of each curve. This must be at least 1 inch below the edge of your fabric, or else your scallops won't be connected. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, you want to stitch along you chalked line using a straight and short stitch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do not stitch above the marked intersections. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When sewing scallops and other small curves--such a pater-pan collar--you want to shorten your stitch length. I generally use a length of 0.5, but you may want to adjust this depending on what fabric you are using. As you sew, be sure you are pivoting at the point where each curve intersects. With your needle in the down position (so it will hold your project in place and keep your line of stitching unbroken) lift your presser foot and rotate the fabric in order to follow your chalked line. Put the presser foot back down and sew the next curve, repeating the pivot at every intersection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now snip the excess fabric. Cut about 1/4" below stitching.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, make a tiny little snip directly at the crest of the point, creating a notch when the fabric is splayed. Be sure not to snip you seam. Also notch around the seam allowance of each curve. This allows the scallop to lay flat when turned right-side-out. Because the curve around the seam allowance contains more fabric than the curve of the the stitching, without the notches the seam allowance will be forced to bunch in order to fit into the curve of the stitches. This would cause bumps and small flat areas in your scallops.</div>

Next, turn all of your scallops right side out. You'll end up with a somewhat messy looking string of scallops that looks something like this:</div>

Now begins the finicky annoying part that is infinitely helped by your metal ruler: Flattening your scallops exactly on the seam. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
UGH.</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Begin by making sure each crest is fully turned out. Here is where my technique deviates from others'. If I have trouble turning out a certain corner, I take my seam ripper and rip out one single stitch around the crest of the intersection (the spot where you pivoted). As you attempt to turn your scallops, you will be able to <i>see</i> which stitches are preventing the fabric from laying flat. That's the one you want to rip out. This instantly allows the crest to lay flat when turned out. KEEP IN MIND that if you use this technique, you must top stitch your scallops to finish your project, otherwise your seam may pull out.<br />
<br />
Here is a scallop that needs to be seam ripped:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Now take your curved ruler and use it to push the curve out evenly. Use a steam iron to press flat <i>while the ruler is still in the scallop. </i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The hoodie is made from a heavy gray knit that I've been saving for the right project. I lined the hood with this beautiful calico from the Buttercream collection. I found it at the Jo-Anne's in Portland, and since I am ever the sucker for florals, I bought a few yards in a couple of colors. </div>

Right from the very beginning, the booty shorts and ladies' boxer briefs were my top sellers. Good for everything from sleeping to wearing underneath a dress to avoid bearing your unders during wind or cartwheel season, they are also cute, and quick to make. </div>

This allows for an adjustable rise--meaning that depending on how you fold 'em, they can sit low around your hips or high up towards your belly button. It also makes them easy to fit, a factor that becomes especially important when buying clothes online. Because the shorts don't have any added elastic band in the waist, they won't cut into the fleshier parts of the hips. Still snug and firm around the waist, the fold-over waist band adjusts to fit just right. </div>

This waistband allows for some of the same flexibility the fold-over waistband does, also adding an extra little flare. While the drawstring shorts can't be adjusted in terms of the rise, custom changes can easily be made to the design for those who want higher waisted shorts. </div>

I sew my own cording for the drawstring shorts, so not only will the cord match and look just right, but it will give and stretch just like the rest of the shorts do.</div>

These are very different from the booty shorts. They have a completely different design, shape, feel, and look. These shorts are excellent loungewear, great for the gym or for yoga, wonderful under skirts and dresses, and great simply on their own. Originally, I designed these shorts by special request on Etsy. A women had written to me requesting a pair of sleep shorts that would "hold" her thighs. She was six months pregnant and terribly uncomfortable at night. She had always been one to sleep naked or in her husband's boxers, which no longer fit her. And the naked thing, she said, was more uncomfortable feeling than any clothing. The buyer requested that there be no seam running through the crotch (at least, not one in line with the butt crack) as well as a sturdy fit that would feel secure and not bunchy. </div>

The result was my Ladies' Boxer Briefs, A.K.A. The <i>Cup Your Bum and Hold Your Thighs</i> shorts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are hands down my top selling item and receive nothing but rave reviews. Here's what I did: I moved the crotch seam to the sides of the legs, and added a square panel into the crotch so that the shorts are virtually wedgie proof. Because there is no seam in the crotch, they can be worn with or without underwear. The inseam is just about 6" in length, though, this can easily be shortened or lengthened by request.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These shorts have a basic design similar to the classic booty shorts with a few crucial changes that create an adorable elastic bloomer. These shorts have a basic waistband--meaning, it's not a fold-over and it's not drawstring. Instead the same soft jersey that composes the body of the shorts extends up into a fold. Depending on the sturdiness of the fabric you choose, I do sometimes add a very soft and giving elastic into the waistband for extra elasticity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next feature of these shorts lots of loose gathered fabric around the booty, sides of the legs and front, creating a loose feel and that bloomery poof we all love so much. The hems of each leg are gathered into a soft jersey band, completing the bloomer shape. These shorts are particularly nice for yoga and lounging in my opinion. Because of the loose fit of the material--not to mention the wonderful stretch--they allow for a superb range of movement, yet because the hems fit snugly around the thigh, they stay in place and hide your unders and don't ride up.</div>

I scored this pretty pink floral material at a thrift store a few months ago. It was the first time I'd been into <a href="http://www.ccmaine.org/thrift-store" target="_blank">Threads of Hope</a>, and they had some siqq shit for a fabric hungry seamstress. What better way to kill the 15 minutes I had before my psychiatry appointment? If I can't have NYC's Garment District at my finger tips anymore, at least I can thrift me some good textiles here and there.</div>

The floral is slinky and hard to keep folded, which, as any good textile hoarder knows is the most obnoxious quality a fabric can have. After it slithered off my fabric shelf and onto the floor for just about the millionth time I decided it was time to get it off my shelf. </div>

I had been desperately wanting to put a few new summer designs in my Etsy shop, so I made this flouncy little number. (Skirt is available <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/464297185/pink-and-red-floral-summer-skirt?ref=shop_home_feat_1" target="_blank">here</a> in sizes XS-3XL). </div>

I'm keeping one for myself, because this is going to be the summer of wearing things I don't usually wear. This means, I'm coming for you, dresses! I'm coming for you skirts and above all, I'm coming for you, not-wearing-the-same-thing-everyday. Summer is busy for me, and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/garbedgeclothes" target="_blank">Garbedge Clothes</a> is seriously still lacking in debuting summer items. So here. Here is a very simple summery skirt that I made just for you (anybody, really). But mostly just for you. </div>

Ahh, this button-down is a favorite baby in my shop. The beige silk came from <a href="http://bandjfabrics.com/" target="_blank">B&J Fabric</a> in NYC's garment district. It's one of my favorite places to browse, particularly for denim, but the place is pretty pricey and not for the faint of wallet. I had the buttons covered at a little place on 36th and the floral silk for the collar came from <a href="http://www.moodfabrics.com/?gclid=Cj0KEQiAlISlBRDHpIekkMGiiskBEiQAh-0KQBIqwO3yNYCXZciOHB0aCKsw-3cOArHDoJ_eGCWvPikaAuKc8P8HAQ" target="_blank">Mood</a>.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hella pretty, but so daunting. Right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's actually really not that difficult to accomplish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All you need is paper and pen, some writing implement that won't stain your fabric (tailor's chalk, chako pen, fabric marker etc.) a round object like the bottom of a bottle or bowl, a bottle cap, the base of a spool of thread--depending on the size of your desired scallop (and of course, if you have a French Curve that's ideal, but tracing a round object is a bit more accessible) and last of all you need a sewing machine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use your French Curve or round object to make yourself a paper template. If you are altering a preexisting garment, you'll want to add a strip of fabric rather than folding the hem. This way, you avoid shortening the length of your garment. If you are altering a pattern, simply lengthen your pattern's hem. Whichever method you choose, be sure that fabric is arranged with right sides together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lay your template with the curved edges at the bottom of your hem and trace all the way around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEf0yYNROmuriDB4uabXkLABsup_aMuMyXU8jN8oSkRzr4wkHtaZaJb5vTfyEoOly-vfeou_BPJcdIPo9OlWqiPTB257RSCWpWDfeg0v2cc0aYmOlmjJuSZm0ZLLnS5lUY8ow7V1zovEj0/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEf0yYNROmuriDB4uabXkLABsup_aMuMyXU8jN8oSkRzr4wkHtaZaJb5vTfyEoOly-vfeou_BPJcdIPo9OlWqiPTB257RSCWpWDfeg0v2cc0aYmOlmjJuSZm0ZLLnS5lUY8ow7V1zovEj0/s1600/photo+1.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stitch over the lines using a smaller stitch length than you would usually. I use 1.8 generally. It makes easing around the curves oh so much easier. At the point between scallops, left the presser foot (making sure the needle is down) and reposition the fabric so that your scallops are crisp and defined. Trim around your stitching leaving about 1/8 allowance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now turn your scalloping right side out. It'll look a little messy, and the scallops won't be rounded. Don't worry, use a point turner or other implement to push your scallops into their rounded positing. Be sure to iron them flat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your last task is to use a straight stitch (at a normal length) to stitch around the open edge of your scallops. If you would prefer to avoid this seam--though I think it's pretty--you can serge the upper edge of your scallop panel rather than folding it, which will leave you with a finished edge that you don't need to address.</div>
