Syksyinen kellohame - A clock skirt for autumn


Ensimmäinen syksyvaatteeni on nyt valmis! Tein tämän kellohameen puuvillasta ja helmaan ompelin ohutta mustaa puuvillapitsinauhaa. Kesällä ompelin niinikään punaisen kellohameen, mutta siihen laitoin vyörärölle kuminauhan. Tässä hameessa sen sijaan on ihan vetoketju ja nappi.

Yritin monessa kohtaa mitata ja mallata, miltä leveys vyötäröllä tuntuu, mutta kaikesta huolimatta vyötärö jäi vähän väljäksi minun makuuni - ehkä se johtuu kankaasta, kun se antaa ihan himpun verran periksi. Minusta hame saisi tuntua vyötäröllä tosi napakalta, joten joudun varmaan lisäämään taakse pätkän kuminauhaa. Onkohan se hyvä idea vai olisiko jokin parempi keino napakoittaa hametta?

This clock skirt is for autumn! I used red cotton and in the hem there's black cotton lace ribbon. I sewed a clock skirt in summer and it had elastic band in the waist but this new skirt has a zipper and a button in the side seam.

I measured and tried the skirt on many times during the sewing but still the waist is not as tight as I wished - maybe it's because of the fabric as it stretches a bit. So I was thinking of adding a piece of elastic band in the back to make the skirt tighter in the waist, what do you think of that?

Have a nice weekend! :)

  2. Lovely skirt: I love red + black trim combo!
    I don't know if you have to add an elastic, is that so loose? Maybe when the weather will be colder you will like to put a shirt inside the skirt... and you'll fill the gap!

    1. Thanks. It just feels like it will stretch even more when I use it. So maybe I will add the elastic band. Hopefully it still looks good after that :)

  3. Hi Salla - You really did a nice job on this skirt. The black lace at the bottom is a very nice touch! It looks really good on you. I'm not sure about what the best option for the waist would be. I would really have to have it in front of me to figure that one out. I'm sure you'll come up with something good. Have a Sewtastic Friday Night!
