Simplicity 4177 Chiffon Peasant Top

ポリエステルのシフォン生地でトップス作ってみた。
おぉ、これはトップもスカートも自作ですよ。

 シフォンは非常に取り扱いが難しかったです。
しわ加工されているので、すぐに伸びてしまって余計。
こうしてみると、やっぱり私の頭って、肩幅ぐらいあるよね。

仕事上がりなので、スカートに座りじわがしっかり出来ておりますが。

 タックは結構均等に入ったと思います。

 型紙はシンプリシティ４１７７。右列トップのピンク色の絵の奴ね。

I made a Simplicity 4177 peasant top.
I made a view E with front tucks and waist strap.

Since the pattern has a lot of design ease, I cut a straight size 8, though I'm supposed to be 12 according to my size.

The fabric is an aqua color poly crinkled chiffon.
This was my very first chiffon project. In a  way, the crinkle texture helped to keep grain line straight, but I had to be very careful not to stretch it.
The cut pieces did not stay in one shape so I spray starched all the pieces, which helped a lot.
I also used my fancy sewing machine's fancy integrated walking foot feature and used microtex needle, which also worked really well.

I should have used french seam to make the inside cleaner since the fabric is very sheer, but I wasn't sure about the size and did not want to unpick the french seam so the edges were just serged, which I actually did before sewing the seams.

It was a good good project to learn how to handle chiffon since the pattern is very simple.
I think this will also look good with seersucker fabric in summer, too.
I somehow twisted the elastic around the neck inside the casing, but I do not want to unpick this chiffon fabric so the elastic will have to stay twisted.

Skirt is New Look 6843, by the way. Yey for hand-made garment for both top and bottom.
Just disregard the wrinkles. It was after a full day of work.
