Scooby Doo and the Case of the Ripply Zipper - Hollyburn Skirt Redux

This past week I completed my 3rd and 4th Hollyburn skirt.  Pics of #3 coming soon - this is #4.  As per usual, I made a size 6, version B, etc. etc.

My fabric is a green plaid that I bought from Gorgeous Fabrics:
It is actually green and brown, not black.  A poly/acetate/acrylic novelty tweed.
If it looks familiar its because I made my mom a StyleArc Gabby jacket with the same fabric.  Other than matching the plaids while cutting, this was simple as usual.  With regard to the plaids, I decided to cut it on the bias instead of the straight grain, thinking (1) if I mismatched at all, it would be slightly less noticeable and (2) it might be more visually interesting.  The plaid matching went well:
I invite you to judge my plaid matching.
And the rest of the skirt turned out cute.  I should wear this on St. Patrick's Day.

I happened to have lime green lace hem tape in my stash. I love it when a plan comes together.
The color looks more true in this photo.
Gotta have my pockets.  My plaids did not match at the side seams. I pick the battles I can win.
However I think I might have figured out the problem with the ripply zipper in my second Colette Ginger skirt.  The same thing happened on this one! It's not terribly obvious:
How about this picture? Can you see my wavy butt?! Tim says just to tell people its my tail.
My theory is that its a result of cutting these on the bias. The only skirts I've had this issue with are the two that were cut on the bias. Different patterns, different fabric, but same problem.  Even my first few awkward attempts at zippers weren't wavy.  So, I know that you let a dress/skirt hang for 24 hours before hemming to avoid negative effects of a bias cut, but I've never heard of doing this for zippers.  Even the Colette patten instructions for Version 3, which is meant to be bias cut, do not suggest hanging it before installing zipper. Maybe I'm wrong and its just a coincidence and sometimes I suck at zipper installation?  But I just made a Hollyburn three days ago and did not have this problem. So next time I cut a bias skirt I will let it hang before installing the zipper.
I still love the skirt, and the zipper issue reminds of something a colleague of my Dad's used to say: "Didn't see it, can't prove it!"  It's in the back, I can't see it, so I'm going to pretend it never happened!

Thinking about the wonky zipper.....

What wonky zipper?

A Carhartt-inspired jacket : (modified) McCalls 7638

Image
We recently received a catalog in the mail that contained a selection of Carhartt jackets, among other items.  Tim liked the look of this one: a sort of classic, basic mens' work jacket: So of course he asked if I could make him one!  He has a couple of handmade coats (a faux shearling from a few years ago and a Goldstream peacoat I made in early 2018) but wanted something a little more casual for everyday - but also warm enough for Syracuse winters. I found my fabrics first: Carhartt Expedition canvas from The Rain Shed with a faux shearling lining (from my stash, originally from Mood Fabrics.) For extra warmth, I tried something new: interlining the shearling with Thinsulate! I ordered a swatch set from the Rain Shed and chose CS100. The website information claims that "the Polyolefin microfibers trap body head and keep you warm even in damp conditions because its fibers absorb less than 1% of their weight in water." OK then! I couldn't really find a

Carhartt Canvas

Image
A version of this post originally appeared on the Cali & Co blog   I was beyond excited when I saw that Ron had listed Carhartt canvas in some 20 (20!!) colors on the Cali Fabrics site.  If you aren’t familiar with the brand, Carhartt is known for high-quality, premium-yet-affordable workwear in sturdy fabrics like denim and duck (aka, canvas). You may have seen their recent feature in Threads magazine, with a tutorial for the Detroit cuff. I knew this would be fantastic quality canvas and Cali Fabrics has it at a great price and it’s 69” wide! So, the fabric: the description online is very accurate. It is a 12 oz. heavyweight but it has a softer hand than you would expect – it isn’t stiff.  I washed it in cold water and tumble dried on low – this fabric really responds to a hot steamy iron especially when it is just a bit damp.  I recommend serging or pinking the edges pre-wash because it will fray a bit. The color didn’t fade or bleed at all and was very satur

Boss Blazer - Pagoda Shoulder Jasika!

Image
Looks like it’s time for what has become my annual blog post! I thought I’d share some details of my pagoda shoulder blazer.  A little history? Pierre Cardin is the inventor of the pagoda shoulder. The name refers to the cornices of Chinese towers. Cardin created new shoulder silhouette that dipped from the collar along the shoulder line, before rising again several inches from the edge. They became popular in styles for both men and women. Pierre Cardin himself was known for wearing the bold shoulders throughout the 1980s.   Pagoda shoulders later became a signature for Alexander McQueen, particularly in his menswear, but they were more subtle than the Cardin style.   Today the pagoda shoulder may be most commonly associated with Balmain, who often uses a highly exaggerated and sculptural version of the design.   Which brings us to my jacket – the fabric is Balmain deadstock from Selvedge and Bolts, so I thought I would do something with some Balmain flair. I started with the Jasika
