$100 Hart's Fabric Giveaway!
Great news, readers! Hart's Fabric is offering one lucky reader a $100 gift card (with shipping included, no less). They have a lovely selection of garment fabrics online. All you need to do to enter is leave a comment saying which fabric you'd like to use for your next apparel project.
Here, I'll go first!
How about some floral silk knit for a drapey bow-neck top?
Or maybe a 50s-style suit in some iris-colored Shetland wool?
Ooh, or even a cute little dress or pajamas in this tea-cup print linen.
Isn't this fun? Okay, it's your turn! All countries are eligible. Please just make sure I'm somehow able to find your e-mail address (either by linking to your profile or by leaving it in your comment). I'll choose a winner at the end of the day on Wednesday.
Good luck, my dears!

Ooh! What a fabulous giveaway! I've been wanting to stitch a suit with vintage flair, so I'm crushing on the Grey Fashion and Apparel Fabric Wool and Silk Blend . It's incredibly yummy-looking. I can envision a fitted suit paired with stilettos. ☺ Happy Friday!ReplyDelete
I'd stock up on their awesome selection of interlock... especially the stripes!ReplyDelete

A pretty voile like this oneReplyDelete
Mirce75 at googlemail dot com
I've been hooked on geometric prints for everything from home dec to fashion fabric... So it'd probably be the Digital Printed Geometric Silk Satin or Geometric Abstract Sheer Fabric Magenta and Cream!ReplyDelete
I've been bookmarking fabrics on Hart's all week, what a timely give away!

I actually made a big Harts fabric order a few weeks back and got some lovely skils and rayons, but now I've realized I need lining fabric! So I'd love to be able to stock up on some rayon lining, or maybe even silk...http://www.hartsfabric.com/habutai-silk-fabric61025.html.
Happy Friday, everyone!
ive never made clothing before and i just oogle your blog with envy lol. ive just stuff for around the house - so i think i might start with a maxi dress (easy right?) maybe from this material:ReplyDelete
if the fabric is free i shouldnt be afraid to try making clothes :)
I'd love to make a jumper for my granddaughter from the black and white dot corduroy. -- KarenReplyDelete
I would get this: http://www.hartsfabric.com/denyse-schmidt-voile-fabric-free-spirit60160.htmlReplyDelete
It is an awesome fabric that I bought two yards of in July but then ruined when washing with another newly picked up fabric. I would love to make a flowy dress from it!
Thanks for this lovely giveaway.
I prefer Floral silk knit.

That iris wool would be a fabulous winter coat, maybe a swing coat as that is what has been tugging at me lately. Would love to win the prize.ReplyDelete
What a marvelous treat on a snowy December morning! After a cold walk this is a particularly alluring giveaway. Thanks so much for your blog!ReplyDelete

OOOOH--very lovely fabric! I already bookmarked the page for future drooling. I like the Armani wool-silk blend suiting fabric. I can see a Kim-Novak-in-Vertigo suit out of that. Loverly!ReplyDelete
valeriec AT inlandwireless DOT com
I love their selection of printed jerseys! I'd choose the Tan and Green Feather Jersey (but it's out of stock).ReplyDelete
sbeaubien (at) gmail . com
Oh, I can envision a lovely shirtdress with the Nani Iro Molly Cloth in Blue Floral. Something with a gathered waist, set in seam pockets, and a sweet little Peter Pan Color to set it off. And buttons in the mustard color.ReplyDelete
Here's hoping! Thank you!
I like this beautiful & vibrant plaid for a pencil skirt: http://www.hartsfabric.com/wool-shetland-harvest-plaid-64573.htmlReplyDelete

The orange small ikat upholstery fabric would make an adorable pencil skirt or bolero, but I also LOVE the hanging dot floral pattern on pique. I have a cord dress I've wanted to make a copy of in other fabrics and this would be perfect!ReplyDelete
ammullins AT hotmail DOT com
Raw silk to line my next coat, which will be made from a length of English houndstooth given to me by a friend. I saw a great '40s pattern online but didn't want to spend $150 for something I can drape myself, based on a pattern I already have.ReplyDelete
I'm totally in lust over the bubblegum pink shetland wool actually! All those shetland wools put me in their thrall...ReplyDelete
absolutely love the tea cup fabric. since I collect tea ephemera it would be perfect for aprons, accessories etc. you can find me at email@example.com or on my blog.ReplyDelete
Oh how lovely it would be to win this giveaway! I love the fabrics, but some of my favorites are the Rayon Challis Fabric Fashion Black and White Floral, Sheer Polka Dot Chiffon Fabric Turquoise and the Sheer Polka Dot Chiffon Fabric Navy. Those would make lovely dresses or loose fitted blouses :)ReplyDelete

I love the orange anthology woodgrain fabric. But, there were many fun choices.ReplyDelete
I would love the Charcoal Shetland Wool fabric. I am pregnant, and I think a cape made of this with a pink silk lining (I already have the silk - a beautiful dusty rose) would be just fabulous for the winter months!ReplyDelete
I think the "Valori Wells Dandelion Voile Cherry" would look great as a colette meringue skirt.ReplyDelete
I need jeans, so the USA Made Dark Indigo Denim is my choice.ReplyDelete
And thanks for pointing Hart's out! I've not heard of them before.

I think it'd have to be some voile for some tops (jasmine and truffle by Colette spring to mind) so The Anna Marie Horner loulouthi Triflora voile in mermaid or maybe The blueberry diamond chevron? But then the Nano Iro floral is beautiful too!ReplyDelete
Awesome giveaway.I've never heard of Harts fabrics will have to go take a look at it.ReplyDelete
How fun! I'm really in love with this gold silk/cotton sateen--would make a beautiful, early 60s inspired dress! http://www.hartsfabric.com/silk-cotton-gold-37961.htmlReplyDelete

Wow! What a great giveaway! I just bought your Sew Retro Craftsy course and I've been looking for some suitable fabric. I'd probably get the Metallic Rose Brocade (http://www.hartsfabric.com/metalic-rose-brocade-64004.html) and shimmy and shine my way into the New Year! Thanks for the offer and for a new fabric website to ogle at!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 9, 2011 at 7:58 AM
That's really easy for me to answer! I'd use some of their skull and crossbones microfleece as a lining on my next make - Sewaholic's Minoru jacket. Thanks so much for this giveaway! didyoumakethat at fastmail dot fmReplyDelete
I'll support my homeland with the 'Liberty of London Carnation Lawn Fabric'ReplyDelete
and fend off the winter blues by making a lovely 50's style garden party swing dress, for when the sun returns!
I would choose the "Beige Nani Iro Abstract Specks Double Gauze Fabric" to make something from my new Nani Iro book. Hopefully not too late for summer here in Melbourne :)ReplyDelete
Oh, what a great giveaway. I would get either some of the solid flannel in something neutral like Cornsilk or bamboo jersey in white to dye with low-water immersion and make myself some really funky pajamas.ReplyDelete
darcy91 at gmail dot com
the tree of life bird print is so pretty anf flannel too, perfect for a winter tunic or skirt.ReplyDelete
I would love to use the Ikat Challis in blue for a skirt!ReplyDelete
mikaea (at) gmail (dot) com
I am dying to make a whole slew of Jasmine blouses from the Colette Pattern fall line in Liberty of London Lawn - any print. Every print. I want them all.ReplyDelete
I actually have a strange need for a bunch of gold lame for a secret project! So glad to see Hart's has some!ReplyDelete
A sheath dress (eg. the Colette Pastille) in crimson silk/cotton sateen? YUM!ReplyDelete
(In the very unlikely event that I win, please leave a comment on my blog at http://patchworkdreams.wordpress.com and I will email you.)
I would love to try the Bamboo Spandex in Forest Green. I have some lovely draped patterns that I think this would be great for. Plus I love the eco factor.ReplyDelete
I have been lusting over that linen forever!ReplyDelete

Thanks for the fabulous blog and giveaway! It was hard deciding on something as they have an awesome collection of fabrics I can't get at home! I Love the Joel Dewberry Heirloom Voile Tile Flourish in the beautiful Orange (my new infatuation colour - and christmas tree colour!) But some of the other comments choices have me salivating! I hope I win!ReplyDelete
what lovelies to choose from! I think I could probably get enough for 2 small projects with a gift of that size! The first I found was the "Yarn-Dyed Cotton Shirting Fabric Plaid Purple" which would make a nice new shirt for my husband. As for me I couldn't decide between a new little black dress made of the "Black Cotton Dotted Swiss" or some of the "Designer Maroon Plaid Fashion and Apparel Fabric Cotton Blend" for a shirtwaist dress.ReplyDelete
kbroadd1 -at- gmail -dot- com
Some of that yummy cotton/silk, it would be tough to pick a color!ReplyDelete
Oh, it would have to be the Brown Lion Fleece Fabric! Warm, for the cold weather, and way way mor efunky than anything sold here in the UK!ReplyDelete
tinabearhouse at gmail.com
hmmm...probably a cotton sateen in two different colors to make a holiday colorblock dress.ReplyDelete
Oooh! Just the perfect giveaway. I have a really hard time choosing with such a huge selection - I'm so jealous of you americans with so many great fabrics to choose from.ReplyDelete
The voiles would be lovely for a blouse, I'm tempted by the red virgin wool for a nice coat, but with a new job in a nice office I have to go with the solid red interlock (http://www.hartsfabric.com/red-cotton-interlock-64591.html) which would turn into a hot-hot wiggle office dress a'la Joan from Mad Men.
Tough choice! I like this for spring: http://www.hartsfabric.com/cotton-lawn-fabric-floral61420.html , but I've been dying to make a 50s-style shirt dress warm enough for winter, so maybe some brown wool would be more practical...ReplyDelete
sewsweetstitches_on_etsy at yahoo
I'd really like to incorporate something like this: http://www.hartsfabric.com/velvateen-fabric59335.htmlReplyDelete
in my daughters Christmas dress I haven't decided what it will look like yet. firstname.lastname@example.com

angualupin [at] gmail [dot] com
Ohhh they have Anna Maria Horner's velveteen! I'd get some of that, or maybe a whole passel of notions(can't ever have enough needles and thread!).ReplyDelete

Or maybe I'd get some of their linen-poly knits, but they don't have striped linen knits unfortunately. I've been looking for a striped linen-knit forever!ReplyDelete

Oh geeze, how to choose, how to choose? So many pretty fabrics...A cute little tunic out of the Sweatshirt Knit Fabric Metallic Houndstooth Burgandy or Cotton Hemp Organic Sweater Knit Fabric Spice.

Definitely something silk! I've always wanted to sew with it but can't really afford it. I'd love to make the Colette Patterns Jasmine blouse of out the Floral Dots Silk Satin (http://www.hartsfabric.com/floral-silk-satin-fabric55468.html) or the Sheer Tree Shadows Silk Chiffon (http://www.hartsfabric.com/tree-shadows-silk-64155.html). But they have so many lovely fabrics it would be hard to decide!ReplyDelete

This giveaway is awesome! I love Hart's Fabric. There are so many great fabrics to choose from, but right now I'm thinking I'd like to make a summer dress from the Nani Iro floral double gauze.ReplyDelete

Oooooh... too many wonderful fabrics to choose from. What a fantastic giveaway!ReplyDelete
I love the "Hemp Organic Cotton Denim Wave Fabric" and could imagine a beautiful shift dress and blazer in it, but then a new cheery summer dress (to wear out on top of long sleeves) from the "Floral Nani Iro Double Gauze Cotton Fabric" might be in order. Oh, but the RED VIRGIN WOOL: I have wanted a red wool coat since I was little girl. That would have to be it.
What a fantastic online store - thanks for introducing us Gertie!
I would make a circle skirt out of the beautiful red hemp wool plaid. With a lovely matching blouse.ReplyDelete
Oh, this IS a good giveaway! I'd love to win!ReplyDelete

Silk. Definitely silk! It looks like a gorgeous piece of fabric.ReplyDelete
LOVING the herringbone silk suiting!ReplyDelete
I'm eyeing a thick wool like the Shetland - only in grey, to coodinate with more things - to make a warm (yet stylish) 60s-style skirt for the cold winter ahead!ReplyDelete
its all about the knit jersey for me for an off the shoulder drapy comfy shirt! thanksReplyDelete

I love Hart's! I lived near the store when I first started to sew and I wish I still did. I'm in love with rayon challis lately and would pick up some yardage like this great print: http://www.hartsfabric.com/crosshatch-rayon-challis-64567.htmlReplyDelete

Wow, so many lovely fabrics!!! Hard to choose. The silks, linens and wools are beautiful. Thank you for introducing me to this lovely store. :)ReplyDelete
Sewaholic posted about what comes first, the pattern or the fabric. I found an example of fabric I would purchase without a plan and spend the next 3 years finding the "perfect" pattern for it, playing with the petals every time I looked through my stash. http://www.hartsfabric.com/petal-chiffon-grey-64839.htmlReplyDelete
In a better planning light... I would make this into a dress. http://www.hartsfabric.com/stretch-jersey-knit-fabric61657.html

I've been wanting to make a winter coat that I can proudly wear to work. At the same time, I saw and fell in love with their "Blue Chevron Silk Chiffon Fabric". It would make a lovely 70's tunic.ReplyDelete
How exciting!ReplyDelete
I love Harts and have had my eye on the Tree People Silk Georgette for some time now. It's strangely beautiful!
I don't even have to shop the whole website--I want that Shetland wool!! I'm starting a new job, and could use the mojo of a new suit I've made myself. I work in the arts, so no one would even blink at a vivid purple suit.ReplyDelete
Wow, what an incredibly tough choice! I'm tempted by all of those lovely cotton prints, although they may have to wait for spring... same goes for the bamboo rayon striped jersey... I'd have to go with the black&white polka dot corduroy. Or the grey&white pin dot flannel for a pair of jammies? I hate decisions...ReplyDelete

I can NOT decide...I might makd a pretty summer dress out of double gauze, or slim pants from ponte knot, or a cute skirt from ruffle fabric. Lovely giveaway!ReplyDelete

I would make Violette Field Threads Vivienne Skirt with Hart's Hemp Organic Cotton Denim Wave Fabric and the Off White Cotton Pearl Eyelet Fashion Fabric for the inset ruffles.

Oh my goodness. I would love to give a cute little vintage dress pattern the Green Forest Hills Cotton Voile Fabric by Anna Maria Horner or even the Retro Cotton Lawn Fabric Yellow Floral. That might be nice for the Bombshell dress from your class! Oh! The ideas are just rolling in now! Fun!ReplyDelete
Cute! Lovely giveaway.ReplyDelete
OOh, lots to tempt a fabricoholic!ReplyDelete
I think the red/navy rayon floral is cool, but i can't tell from the description if it's a knit or a woven. If a woven, I'd get it and make a 30s-style dress.
Or a shift-style blouse from the black/white polka dot silk cotton lawn....
and what about the pleated Burda sew-along pleated skirt in the Echino viewfinder linen print!
Also love the vintage tablecloths!
Oh boy - It would be fun to try and decide how to spend $100 at Hart's. I'm up for the challenge!ReplyDelete
I would love to use any of the knits to make dresses or shirts for my youngest daughter. I love knits!ReplyDelete

All jewelry pieces on the site are designed and made in South Korea. They are hypoallergenic, nickel and lead free. However, in certain cases, skin sensitivities are dependent upon the individual. We do suggest taking precaution for anyone with certain allergies or high skin sensitivities to fashion jewelry metals.
Our jewelry products are made from metal materials including brass, 925 Sterling Silver, 14K plated and Stainless Silver. All metals in fashion jewelry eventually risk tarnishing over time with the exception of pure Gold and Silver fine jewelry since different metals react and oxidizes at different rates when exposed to air, moisture and sunlight. 925 Sterling Silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver with the remainder a mix of metals, like copper (most common). Pure Silver is generally a weaker metal on its own, and therefore is generally, not the preferred material for delicate jewelry designs, but it is a preferred choice due to its natural aesthetic appearance, and the purity of metal allows for higher tolerance to skin allergies and sensitivities. On the contrary to popular belief, Sterling Silver is also not resistant to tarnishing. The rate of tarnish depends on many factors, and if jewelry is generously cared for, it can last for years. We do recommend choosing Stainless Steel as an alternative for tarnishing concerns, as Stainless Steel material is durable and stronger than most metals and more tarnish resistant, ie to liquids. In caring for fashion jewelry, we recommend here certain guidelines & tips to maintain longevity and shine for years. In terms of color tarnishing rate on plated metals:
- To minimize tarnishing of jewelry, keep items stored in an airtight closed container (or separate air-sealed bags) when jewelry is not being worn. Small ziplock bags are great, but make sure to compress out most of the air before sealing it, as metals oxidizes with air.
- Jewelry should often remain dry as much as possible. Avoid frequent contact with direct sunlight exposure, humidity, liquids and chemical products such as perfume, lotions, detergents, etc.
- To restore shine, use a lint-free soft polishing cloth to gently rub jewelry pieces. We do not recommend using chemical-based jewelry cleaners, as they may be harmful to the environment and could cause skin irritation, nonetheless product damage, especially on plated items.
- To resist tarnishing, you may prefer to look into specialized jewelry protective sprays to coat the surface of your item. However, this is not 100% foolproof method, so please use with precaution.
The following is a recommended guideline for product care on general surfaces. Always test a small area beforehand. Most materials can be gently laundered or wipe down with a soft cleaning cloth.
- Using a clean, soft cloth and gentle mild soap or detergent with lukewarm water, dip cloth into solution and wipe down surfaces regularly.
- Rinse cloth clean with water and wipe down any remaining detergent residue on surface.
- Use another clean, soft dry cloth to dry.
- For stains, use a couple drops of mild, gentle detergent directly onto the stain for spot cleaning. Using your fingers, rub over the stain until it fades. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping the remainder of the residue with a dry clean cloth.
- Use a dry cloth to remove any surface dust and dirt. With another clean soft cloth, apply a quality leather cleaner and gently rub in circular motion over surface. Remove any remaining residue after surface is clean.
- Tip: For quick cleaning, you may use mild disinfectant or leather cleaning wipes to run over surfaces.
- Handwash canvas or fabric materials using a gentle, mild detergent and lukewarm water. Otherwise, follow care instructions for machine wash if there is no special features on the fabric. For stain removal, pre-treat the mark with detergent / stain remover prior wash.
- Lay flat to dry (recommended). Do not bleach or dryclean.

Leona on her birthday. Piggy macarons for Pigged-Out, hehe geddit?! I'd seen the sweet piggy buns from Chef's Gallery but hadn't seen it done on a macaron yet. As per usual, things did not go to plan. I thought it would be so simple. My first attempt was over before it even started, so there was no way I'd be able to give them to her in person. Then I was hoping to get them done in time to post them up on my blog on Sunday for her actual birthday...but I ended up with horrible cracked piggy macaron faces. Poor mutilated piggies. I gave it one more go and enough of them were decent (though you can still see some cracks). Make them at your own risk! I think the cracking tends to happen if you don't let the surface of the macaron dry enough before piping on the nose and ears, and if you use your finger to mess around with it like I did.
Piggy Macarons
(makes approximately 10-15 fairly large macarons)
100g aged egg whites (you can use fresh eggs too, just make sure they are room temperature. I always use fresh these days, and zap it in the microwave on defrost for 10 seconds)
110g almond meal, dried in a cool (100 degrees C) oven for 5 minutes and sifted
200g icing sugar
50g caster sugar
Optional: 1 tsp powdered egg whites (available from The Essential Ingredient)
Vanilla butter icing:
100g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
200g icing sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
To decorate: liquid black food colouring (available from the supermarket) or edible ink pens
Line two baking sheets with baking paper. Place icing sugar in food processor and pulse for a minute to remove any lumps. Stir in almond meal and pulse a few times to combine. Place in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and egg white powder in a medium mixing bowl until the egg white powder dissolves and it reaches soft peaks. With the mixer on high speed, gradually add sugar and beat until it reaches stiff peaks.
Add meringue (and powdered food colouring) to your dry mixture and mix, quickly at first to break down the bubbles in the egg white, then fold carefully as the dry mixture becomes incorporated and it starts to become shiny again. Take care not to overmix, the mixture should flow like lava and a streak of mixture spread over the surface of the rest of the mixture should disappear after about 30 seconds. Place in a piping bag and pipe rounds of about 4cm diameter on lined baking sheets or silicon baking mats, leaving a small amount of mixture leftover in the piping bag for decorating your piggy faces (around 1/4 cup) Gently rap your baking sheets on your bench top to remove any extra bubbles from your piped shells.
Preheat your oven to 140-150 degrees C (temperature varies depending on your oven) and dry piped macaron shells on bench for a further 30 mins to an hour. Place on top of an overturned roasting tray or another baking sheet if they are not professional grade. Bake for 13-15 minutes, depending on the size of your shells. Remove from the oven and cool on the tray for a few minutes, then gently remove from the sheet and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
P.S. I think I should mention something about Tumblr. I am incredibly flattered whenever I get any link backs due to people sharing my photos on Tumblr, though sometimes I do think that the way that some people credit their sources on there is questionable (especially when they copy and paste my recipes without including a text link *cough*). But others do it properly and have lovely pages like Just Be Splendid. As a way of saying hi to all those people on Tumblr who are sharing my photos, I just started one myself: http://raspberricupcakes.tumblr.com/ There's not much there at the moment, at some point I might start putting photos up there. And maybe if you plan on sharing one of my posts on Tumblr you can let me know and I will reblog it. Share the love ;)

Next Up in VoNBBS: The Raglan Sleeve Coat!
Project #9 will be the Raglan-Sleeve Coat, a roomy swing coat. I started by making a muslin. I thought I would need extra room since my pattern is intended for a 32" to 34" bust. But no! It fits perfectly. It's not really much to see yet, is it?
I've also been gathering my supplies. I'm making it in a pretty blue wool/angora coating from Paron's. It will have a caramel-colored charmeuse lining with big white polka dots. And the icing on the cake? A removable faux fur collar. I can't wait to cozy up in it this fall!
P.S. Also on the interwebs today: check out my interview with Alison Reid, author of Stitch Magic--the book that inspired my STC Craft Stitch-Along!
56 comments:
I'm so glad you're returning to the VoNBBS projects (I've missed them; though I completely understand why they got pushed to the side! ;)! Hooray! The coat is beautiful; I've been itching to make a similar style jacket for this winter, but have some other things to make before I dive into coats/jackets (since I already have too many!). The wool you chose is gorgeous, and I can't wait to see the project as it takes shape. :) What sort of buttons have you picked out?ReplyDelete
I'm sure your coat will be sublime... but I HATE, yes HATE raglan sleeves! I have a weakness for vintage coats, especially children's coats (with many patterns in my collection), but i steer clear of raglan sleeved coats. Looking forward to seeing your coat though :)ReplyDelete
- StephanieSeptember 12, 2011 at 10:45 AM
Yeaaa! I originally came across your blog when I did a Google search for sheath dresses and your beautiful red VoNBBS number came up =D Raglan sleeves aren't flattering on me, unfortunately, but I can't wait to see how yours came out, especially with those fabulous fabrics!ReplyDelete
Whoopa, it's back! Great. :-) Lovely fabrics.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2011 at 10:49 AM
Excited to see you back on the VoNBBS projects! I am about ready to start the Lady Grey sew-a-long from last year...better late than never!ReplyDelete
Where did you get the faux fur & charmeuse? I haven't come across anything like that in Midtown?
welcome back, gertie! how great that you've finished your book--which we're all so excited about--and already have new things to share. you're incredible!ReplyDelete
i love a swing coat, and have considered one for myself. i'm so looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Gertie, you're so timely! The latest THREADS magazine touted a raglan-sleeve swing coat.ReplyDelete
I've been thinking of sewing this up for my momma for Christmas. :) I look forward to seeing how yours comes together!
Hi Gertie!ReplyDelete
Any chance you could post a bound buttonhole tutorial using the method you went over in class with us last month?
(from your Sunday class)

Oh, that is going to be one beautiful coat. I can just see it on you.ReplyDelete
Nice! The colors are going to be so beautiful and I love the idea of a faux fur collar. I have some soft fluffy gray fur-like fabric, bought with that idea in mind, but to justify it I'd have to be planning a winter visit to anywhere but here.ReplyDelete
I'm making V1137 (the vintage reproduction) which has a similar silhouette to yours but with kimono sleeves instead of raglan. It's cut out but has to wait for me to finish a couple of dresses.
I look forward to seeing yours as it develops.
It's the perfect color! The lining and the fur are to die for. So glad you are back to VoNBBS, and better than ever!ReplyDelete
Oooh, I am so excited about seeing this! I just bought the exact same pattern and can't wait to try making one as well, although I find the thought of making a coat a little daunting still.ReplyDelete
Your fabrics are stunning and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished coat.
Gertie, I love the fabrics you are using!! I'm dying to see this coat when its finished. The lining fabric is to die for.ReplyDelete
May one substitute real fur? (I confine my use of faux fur to stuffed animals.) Where I come from, a dead coyote is a good coyote.ReplyDelete
Oh good heavens, that is going to be gorgeous! I love the polka dot fabric.ReplyDelete
I love the faux fur! I think it's great that it nowadays can look so fabulous! Good luck!ReplyDelete
YAY !! so glad you're returning to the VoNBBS projects - I cant wait to see what you stitch up next ! xxReplyDelete
Anon, the faux fur is from NY Elegant Fabrics. Printed charmeuse can be found pretty much anywhere in the garment district. Mine is from Chic Fabrics.ReplyDelete
Solange, haha. That's like asking if you can use turkey as a substitute for tofurky. In other words, yes. :)
Jen, I'm going to do a bound buttonhole tutorial this week. But it will be for the patch method, which is my new fave.
You colourchoises are nothing short of delicious.ReplyDelete
That coat will be wonderful, I´m sure
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I love the lining fabric. I ALWAYS enjoy a special lining. It's just like some delicious secret known only by me.ReplyDelete
Wow! I can already tell that it's going to be just divine! I love all of your fabrics!ReplyDelete
I am another person glad to see the VoNBBS projects returning. I totally understand why they went to the side and every post in between, but it's nice to see them back. I do love your fabric selection. I look forward to seeing it come together.ReplyDelete
Drooling over your fabrics.....ReplyDelete
Wow that will be one amazing coat judging by the fabric you chose!ReplyDelete
Love that VoNBBS is back!
Hooray! I've loved your other projects but I'm SO EXCITED to see more VoNBSS! I'm another raglan-avoider (looks great on other people, not on me) but I love this style of coat and I really love the fabric you chose!ReplyDelete
Really glad you're getting back to the VoNBBS - love this style of coat and the fabrics you've chosen.ReplyDelete
Yay for the sewing projects! Love the fabrics you've chosen - sooooo swoonsome. You'll look like you're straight out of a Douglas Sirk movie...ReplyDelete
This is going to be utterly stunning! I cannot wait to see how it turns out, I'm so glad you've started up with VoNBBS again, i've missed hearing about those projects. Although of course I know you had good reason to do so, and I cannot wait until your book comes out :)ReplyDelete
Glad you're returning to the projects... but what happened to the little girls' dress? Granted, it's a basic dress that anyone who sews could replicate with any period yoke dress pattern....ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2011 at 3:42 PM
Hi I know this doesn't have to do with your post but I just saw something about your husbands book! The Hunger Games Official Page on Facebook book just posted this "Hey everyone! Jeff Hirsch's new book THE ELEVENTH PLAGUE is now available and is an amazing read! Suzanne Collins raved: "The Eleventh Plague hits disturbingly close to home… An excellent, taut debut novel.""ReplyDelete
Yay, VoNBBS! Your coat fabrics look gorgeous, and remind me of my grandma (in a GOOD way)! I'm really excited for this coat.ReplyDelete
This is so very exciting, I can't wait to see your coat take shape. I love your fabric choices too! I hope to be able to make a coat one day but I've just started to learn to make clothes so maybe for next winter!ReplyDelete
OMG! I'm dieing over the poka dots!ReplyDelete
I LOVE that colour scheme - it's going to be fabulous and I echo the readers who are glad to see you return to these patterns. It's a bit like fantasy sewing.ReplyDelete
You picked the most beautiful fabric and colours! I can't wait to read and see how it turns out.ReplyDelete
I love beautiful coats and this one looks divine. I love coats from that era in fashion. Can't wait to see it progress.ReplyDelete
I have a muslin question, Gertie. It looks like your muslin is in fairly lightweight fabric. Some people say that your muslin has to be a similar weight as your fashion fabric. What do you think?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Ooh, I'm very excited to see this. The colors are wonderful together, and the lining is fantastic. Several years ago, I saw a coat with a fantastic printed lining. I swore then that I'd never use plain lining again! I only recently discovered your blog, so this will be the first time I've gotten a preview then seen the final project. Looking forward to it.ReplyDelete
I LOVE this coat pattern, and the fabric you chose is beautiful!ReplyDelete
Those are very pretty fabrics. I'd be interested in how you are doing the removable fur collar. Will it be kind of a collar cozy for the wool collar?ReplyDelete
8 out of 14 isn't bad. Your attention span must be loads better than mine. ;) Can't wait to see the coat.ReplyDelete
Love your fabric choices, can't wait to see the finished coat. xReplyDelete
I'm really happy that you're going back to VoNBBS! I've enjoyed everything else you've talked about, but I loved hearing the unfolding story of better sewing! Looking forward to hearing all about the coat and the gown...ReplyDelete
I'm envious of your coat colors. I love bright colored coats, they help to keep the drab winter blues at bay. So far, it looks fab!ReplyDelete
Love the combination of the fabrics you've picked out! Can't wait to see the finished result :)ReplyDelete
I absolutely LOVE the combination of fabrics you've chosen for this project. They are gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
I look forward to following the creation of this great garment - I think I may have fabric envy!
- AnonymousSeptember 14, 2011 at 6:24 AM
How exciting! This line of projects is indeed what got me reading your blog, and I've hung on in hopes you'd stick to your guns (and for all the interesting tidbits in between). Congrats on the book. I assume this return to your lost prodigy means it's finished. Cheers!ReplyDelete
I love this project-- I am considering making a new winter coat for myself this winter. I love the fur collar, I am in love with this look for fall. I think I may just copy you! Now to decide on a color for my coat...pick a pattern...etc, etc.ReplyDelete

This is going to look amazing! The colour is so nice, can't wait to see how it turns out!ReplyDelete

Back in the day, a coat meant much more then than it seems to today. There was an art to putting it on, wearing it, taking it off. Also the sweet mystery of what was under the coat. The anticipation of the reveal. A new dress or an old favorite? So many good memories seeing my parents friends & family walking form the curb to the front door wearing beautiful coats, gloves & hats. Gertie, can't wait to see your creation, it will be one of the best with those wonderful fabrics.ReplyDelete
That color was beautiful :)ReplyDelete
I cant wait to see the end result, exciting!ReplyDelete
Will you be doing any specific shoulder padding to your raglan shoulders to maintain the rounded shaped?ReplyDelete
I was just given about 50 + (I lost count) vintage patterns from Vogue to patterns I never heard of before! I can't wait to begin my journey into creating so many fashions! I am almost done your Burda Bombshell dress then I will be hitting the vintage look! Soooo Excited!!ReplyDelete
I love that coat! I'm especially drawn to the short yellow version. And, I was just given my grandmothers sewing stash which includes fur collars she would save and re use. Hmmm... Maybe with the popularity of your blog, vogue would think about re-issuing some of the patterns featured in this book.ReplyDelete

EBC Exercise 01 Start Here
Embedded Linux Class by Mark A. Yoder
There are four major things that need to be done to have the BeagleBoard ready to run for class:
- Get your Beagle Hardware together
- Update the OS on your Beagle
- Set up a host computer, running Linux for code development
- Clone the course git repository on both the Beagle and the host
The Hardware
Here's the hardware you will need and where you get it.
You may have, or will have to buy
We are using the BeagleBone Black this year. Since it's only $45 I'll have you buy your your own. There's a few other things you will need to get before the first day of class.
- BeagleBone Black. See http://beagleboard.org/ for suggestions of where to buy the Black.
- USB keyboard and mouse
- HDMI display
- At least three 4G micro SD cardz. I suggest you have 3 or 4 cards since it's easy to mess up one and it takes some 10 minutes to reload it.
- micro SD card reader/writer
- Powered USB hub, at least 4 ports. The Black has only one USB so this will allow you to plug in the keyboard, mouse, web cam, etc.
- Embedded Linux Primer The bookstore will have this.
- Bad to the Bone Don't by this yet, I think I can get you a free copy.
What you buy from the Instrument Room
- 5V power supply
- Proto Plate with full sized breadboard
- various input devices, sensors, displays, etc.
Updating the Beagle OS
Once you have all your hardware together go ahead and explore the Bone. It should work right out of the box. After you have explored a while, update the image on the Bone so you are running the most current image. Go to EBC Exercise 03 Installing a Beagle OS to learn how to flash your SD card with a fresh OS.
The Linux host computer
The above will get you ready for about the first 4 weeks of class. Around week 5 we'll start looking at the kernel and will need to cross compile. Once we start moving into Kernel development we will need a host computer. Since we are doing Linux development, it's generally agree the host should be running Linux. I suggest you run Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS). The Rose Linux Users Group LUG has instructions on where to get a local copy so you don't have to download some 700M.
There are three options as to how to run Linux.
- Native install ([1])
- Install in a virtual machine. I've been running Virtual Box recently and it seems to work find. You can also try VMware Player.
- Run in the cloud
The Ubuntu site gives good instructions for a native install. I've had good success with running both VMware and Virtual Box, though my installation instructions are a bit dated. (Feel free to update them if they need it.)
I've been testing out the "Cloud" approach and it looks like it will work too. If you want to try the cloud, let me known and I'll ask CSSE to set up a machine for you.
Kernel Development
Once you have Linux running somewhere, you need to install the kernel development tools. Go to EBC Exercise 08 Installing Development Tools to see all the steps you need. Once set up, go back to EBC Exercise 05 Getting Exercise Support Materials to clone the class repository on your host.
Now that you have all these pieces in place you are ready to work with a very power embedded processor.
The class git repository
Once you have an up to date OS running on your Beagle, go to EBC Exercise 05 Getting Exercise Support Materials to learn how to clone the class git repository. Once cloned it's a single command to get the latest materials on your Beagle (or host computer for that matter).

NFL draft consultant: Manti Te'o's draft stock could plummet
Here's the real story: Manti Te'o's stock in the NFL draft already was sinking.
Blame his performance in the BCS title game, not any hoax or conspiracy, for that.
Still, the uncertainty surrounding Notre Dame's All-American linebacker could further hurt his draft stock, NFL draft consultant Gil Brandt said.
Brandt called the story "something I have never witnessed" in his half-century in pro football.
"I think some teams will say it isn't worth the problem" to draft Te'o, said Brandt, who has the linebacker rated 19th overall in the first round.
The former Dallas Cowboys general manager added Thursday that Te'o's stock had plummeted after a poor performance in the BCS championship game.
"I don't think anybody considered him to be a top-five pick before all this happened," Brandt said. "In that game against Alabama, this was like a guy who was the best shooter in the world in basketball and here comes a game and he can't even hit the backboard. His play in that game was absolutely horrible. He missed on run blitzes; guys ran over him ..."
Te'o would hardly be the first player to see his draft stock sink because of off-field issues. Last year, North Alabama cornerback Janoris Jenkins fell to the second round after multiple run-ins with the law related to marijuana got him dismissed from Florida.
Warren Sapp in 1995 and Randy Moss in 1998 slid because of character concerns; both are now considered potential Hall of Famers.
Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery said "it's no different what the red flags are."
"You've got to identify them," he said. "You've got to research it and then you decide what impact that has on the total person in terms of his ability to play football and to manage his life."
Oakland Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie agreed.
"It makes you go and get all the answers, cross your Ts and dot your Is and make sure," he said. "With any player, you have to make sure what you're getting from a character standpoint other than his ability, his talents. Try to get to know the guy. So, yes, it will weigh in heavily."
David Schwab, a senior executive at sports management firm Octagon, considered Te'o perhaps the most marketable player coming into this year's draft. As the face of a Notre Dame team that returned to national relevance, the Heisman Trophy runner-up had the name recognition of few college stars.
"Compassionate" and "heartwarming" were some of the adjectives Schwab would have used to describe his image.
Now, that persona will depend on the details that emerge about the story of a girlfriend who didn't exist.
"If he truly had nothing to do with it, I think the long-term damage is zero," said Schwab, who specializes in matching companies to celebrities.
In the short term, it's unlikely to see Te'o promoting any products, because a public appearance would turn into an impromptu news conference about the hoax. If uncertainty lingers about exactly what happened, Schwab said, many companies may hesitate to sign him.
But even if Te'o is implicated in the hoax, he could still eventually turn into a sponsor's dream if he blossoms as an NFL star.
"If you perform on the field, you quickly become marketable," Schwab said.
Look no further than Ray Lewis, the Baltimore Ravens linebacker who was charged with murder in 2000. The charges were dropped after Lewis agreed to testify against two other men and he subsequently pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice. This week he's a beloved figure heading into the AFC championship with retirement looming.
Teams may be less likely to take a risk on Te'o in the draft if they don't believe he can become a dominant player.
Brandt noted how the inside linebacker position doesn't carry as much importance in the NFL as it once did. In the last 10 years, only four inside linebackers were taken in the first round, although one of them was perennial All-Pro Patrick Willis of San Francisco.
"I think it would be different if it was a quarterback who would change the game," he said. "But linebackers are a piece to the puzzle; they don't solve the puzzle. Other than Ray Lewis, I don't know of any linebacker you say, 'We've got to have this guy.'
"(Inside) linebackers are not as important as they used to be. We're down to one or two first-round linebackers now."
Brandt wondered how Te'o could be so effective during the season, including seven interceptions -- "unheard of, like hitting .450 in baseball" -- and then so unproductive in the championship game.
"Between now and 97 days from now when the draft comes, there'll be a lot of people investigating just what took place," he said.

Dissonant, jangly, raw, powerful. This is the sound of Teepee, and it's one of the most captivating sounds on Miami's fascinating aural landscape. Those seeking rock 'n' roll roots, postpunk attitude, and experimental noise will find something to dance to in this primal yet melodic project. Teepee is led by mastermind Erix S. Laurent and fleshed out by Andrew McLees and Dion Keith Kerr IV, a trio that just wrapped up a nationwide tour with stops in North Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York. Locally, Teepee makes regular waves at clubs such as Bardot and Churchill's. Listen to the ten-track album Distant Love or: Time Never Meant Anything, and Never Will and you might think you've fallen into the glory days of the dark and driving '80s, à la Jesus and the Mary Chain. But this big sound settles nicely into the modern scene as a break from the pop-saturated situation. If rock 'n' roll and analog instrumentation stand a chance of revival, Teepee might just be pointing the way.
While most 20-year-olds are stuck in school or working their way through some shitty desk job, Kairo Gudino stalks record stores and thrift shops as he builds an unstoppable brand. He possesses the kind of talent that makes people give artists everything they need — money, food, plane tickets, a place to stay — just so the magic can keep flowing. You might have seen him on fliers as Chalk.; playing shows at Bardot, Purdy Lounge, the Vagabond; and holding down a residency at Blackbird Ordinary's weekly Tuesday ladies' night. Sometimes he works with Metro Zu and the Raider Klan, and sometimes he even gets on a microphone. But he really shines when he sits behind his laptop. That's all he needs. This sleeper star has enough old-school house, funk, disco, hip-hop, and rock records to fill a boutique. He's prolific, constantly working on six or seven songs a month. His style is smooth, reminiscent of the golden age of soulful house, as if the aura of the '90s era into which he was born tattooed itself on his brain. He might not be the hottest name on the local scene, but that won't last for long. Some of the biggest acts on the underground vibe scene are talking about him and playing his tracks at festivals and clubs the world over. Don't be surprised when you can't escape Chalk. Just remember, you heard it here first.
Xela Zaid has been lurking on the Miami music scene longer than some regular local musicians have been on Earth. More important, in that time his music has grown ever more subversively brilliant, finding an increasingly vital, comfortable niche in Dade's noise underground. Lest you accuse Zaid of diving off some musical deep end, he's maintained a characteristic sound that has never strayed far from his distinctive style. From writing catchy songs in his early years (before he decided to spell his name backward) to his current experiments in ambient dissonance, Zaid remains an original. He's never been one to take any instrument at face value; early experiments included shoving a mike into the sound hole of an acoustic guitar and inventing a unique tuning for the instrument. His strums conjure the aural illusion of a spectral bassist accompanying his hushed, raspy voice. His mid-'90s CD, Motorama, released under the moniker "Ho Chi Minh," remains one of the indie masterpieces that most people have never heard. His even lesser-known followup, 2001's Summerwood, proved he was no flash in the pan. The dude should have become a household name by the time this millennium arrived, but those planets never aligned — or maybe he was ahead of his time. Zaid continued his evolution through a few noteworthy EPs. Nowadays, you might hear him twiddling knobs on a small transistor radio hooked up to a pitch shifter while exploring a new form of ambient music on the back patio of Churchill's, his preferred venue. Few musicians on Miami's scene are as devoted to the journey of music on as pure a level.
If you're privileged (ahem, old) enough to remember the heyday of 94.9 Zeta and the radio station's catchy rock rotation, you'll appreciate the driving force that is Day Music Died. The men behind the alt-rock-meets-jazz band have been rocking the scene for more than ten years. Gabriel Fernandez (vocals), Tony Guilarte (rhythm guitar), David Alvarez (lead guitar), Eddie Planas (bass), Nick Lebess (drums), and Humberto Casanova (keyboard/sax) recently released their second studio album, Elephant in the Room, a followup to 2005's The Cardboard Score. DMD's sound ranges from songs such as "Maybe," a haunting melody with something hidden —"I'd like to forget the past/'cause maybe you would stay/maybe you would stay if you knew" — to the catchy, driving, yet honest chorus of "Rid of Me." Catch the Miami six-piece live, and it's clear these guys aren't lying when they say they're together not only for the love of music but also the chemistry and brotherhood they feel onstage.
R&B, for cool kids at least, has been out in the cold for years, looking in from the outside as hipsters embraced every genre from roots country to cumbia to metal. Now, finally, R&B looks ready to re-enter the fold of what's cool, relevant, and fresh, as artists such as Frank Ocean and Abel Tesfaye not only receive wide-spread accolades from music critics but also sell tons of records and concert tickets. Growing in that same vein is Miami's own Steven A. Clark, who imbues his soulful songs with a distinct gravity. Somehow he doesn't lose the airy elegance and grace from note to note that's always been characteristic of the best R&B songs, from Seal's classics to Ocean's modern odes to smoothness. Clark's body of work — a debut EP, Stripes, and the follow-up LP, Fornication Under Consent of the King — showcases a diverse sense of style and a keen sense of musicianship that become all the more palpable when you take into account that nearly every one of the songs, which can all be downloaded at Clark's website, was not only written but also produced by this silky-voiced, provocative singer-songwriter. Listen to tracks such as "F.U.C.K. Pt. 1" and "The Haunting" and it's tough to argue the point that R&B is damn cool again. Even better, thanks to Clark, Miami has its very own contribution to the world of grooving seduction and lyrical lovemaking.
Who would have thought the once-bratty Johnny Rotten (né John Lydon) of the pioneering mid-'70s UK punk band the Sex Pistols would front a follow-up group that would still have any sort of creative verve in the following millennium? Yet when Public Image Ltd took the stage at Miami's Grand Central last October, they put on a brilliant, vital show with musicianship and social consciousness to boot that would shame most hipster acts of today. Many a young musician could learn something from PiL. For aged punks/postpunkers, the talent onstage was consistently impressive, and — in an even rarer move for Miami shows — they started right on time. Guitarist Lu Edmonds occasionally played an electric saz (a Middle Eastern stringed instrument) and shone during songs that never lost their unrelenting groove. Lydon's voice shifted and morphed from warbles to buzz-saw growls and barks across many a meandering song, including back-catalogue highlights such as "This Is Not a Love Song" and "U.S.L.S. 1" to brand-new numbers like "Reggie Song." The audience, which ranged from late-'70s punks to kids who grew up in the '90s MTV alternative nation, mostly nodded along, though an even older crowd managed to pogo for a few minutes at a time. Aging legs in the crowd or not, PiL barreled through a two-hour set as a brilliantly preserved relic with nothing to prove. They were skilled, mature musicians putting on an earnest show for a crowd more interested in the music than making an appearance on the scene. In the Magic City, that's a rare achievement indeed.
Have you seen that new video for that Kodiak Fur song "Lips"? It's crazy. There's this superhot blond chick. She's like a hooker or something. She goes over to this dude's hotel room and strips down to her lingerie. Then she leans over the guy and just starts sucking. I mean, this chick is like a human Dyson vacuum. She doesn't let up. She's slurping up every last drop, and then when she's done, she licks her lips to make sure she's got it all. Wait, Mom, ew. I'm not talking about a porno. Why would I tell you about that? It's like some artsy music video for a promising local electro-dream-pop quartet. She's not sucking, you know — she's like some demon sucking the life force out of this dude's mouth. They barely even touch. It's like some special effects. You used to drag me to all those French films at the art-house cinema when I was a kid, so I just wanted to get your opinion on what you thought it, you know, meant. Never mind!
Some bars are dubbed "dives" based solely on cheap prices and low lighting. But others earn their cred based on more fundamental assets: a perpetual cloud of cigarette smoke, well-worn pool tables, deep-fried foodstuffs, and a colorful cast of constantly inebriated characters. Little Hoolie's has earned its stripes the real way — through years of doling out stiff drinks to thirsty boozers from Kendall and South Miami. Roll up to the strip mall and easily snag a spot in the ample parking lot. Drink a cheap pitcher or two and take the stage for a round of karaoke without fear of ridicule. Play a game of pool with a wannabe hustler. Nosh on the famous Hoolie's Blue Balls, fried ham-and-Swiss-stuffed chicken ($7.95). Happy hour starts at 11 a.m. weekdays, so you've got a whopping nine hours to get your discounted-drink on. Plus you can score $9 domestic pitchers when the Dolphins, Hurricanes, Marlins, and white-hot Heat are playing. It's a southern comfort zone all its own.
Magnum is like that old friend who, no matter how many years pass between visits, always stays awesomely, delightfully, perfectly the same. This piano bar seems to be an anomaly — in the best way possible — in a city obsessed with what's new and on trend. Why shouldn't Magnum be comfortable sticking to what it knows: belting out classic tunes and whipping up stiff drinks. There is no fuss here. You won't find "expert mixologists" or the city's hottest DJ. Instead, the dark ambiance begs you to cozy up to the bar and order a classic dirty martini. (There isn't a cocktail menu here, so don't bother asking for one.) And calling this place a "gay bar" does a disservice to the eclectic clientele that visits the lounge week after week seeking live music, amazing fried chicken, and fantastic drinks. Magnum isn't a gay bar; it's a bar that just happens to be gay. And once this city's obsession with the cocktail tomfoolery ends, Magnum will be there to welcome you back with a drink and a song. Just be sure to tip your bartender and piano man.

Plexiglas is actually nothing more than a brand name for acrylic glass. We also know something similar from paper tissues (i.e.Tempo). In principle, it is a transparent plastic that is quite resistant. The fact that it is lighter and less fragile than real glass results in numerous applications. We now print this acrylic completely with the chosen motifs and then white sealed so that it is opaque. These plates are great for photo printing. Since they are translucent, you can even use them for lamp construction. To make them even more durable, like our acrylic glass plates in the dimensions 30 * 20 cm and 40 * 30 cm, we coat them with real glass. As a result, they can also be used e.g. in the kitchen or outside use. Upon special request, any other dimensions and motifs are possible. Note, however, the minimum size of 10 * 10 cm and the maximum 198 * 148 cm. Larger dimensions must then be produced in several plates.
