Collar Snake Skin

The tutorial of the snake skin collar!

Snake Skin finished

The Snake Skin blouse is finished. The pattern is BWOF 2008/09 Nr. 107. I traced size 36. I cut the back piece whole although it is two separate pieces in the pattern and made a slit at the back. I will explain the technique I used on the other blouse made with the same pattern .







The collar doesn't photograph well so I made some extra detailed images of it:






The fabric is as you may remember a silk Crepe de Chine. I didn't use any interfacing on the ruffle, because I was afraid it may get too stiff. In the next post I will explain how I drafted the collar.

Update 2.0 being updated!

The blouses are done at the end, I will post on them with details later. I still have to sew some more stuff for the tomorrow deadline of the Tessuti blog award...










The snake blouse doesn't photograph so well - you just don't see the details. But I attached the collar and the sleeves and tomorrow I will probably finish it. It is getting there!

I cut today the same pattern for this:





I love this fabric soo much...

Small update...

I am sewing an hour per day, really slowly and carefully ( since I love that fabric) and this is how far I am now:





The original basic pattern is the Nr. 107 from BWOF 09/2008. This is what it looks like:



So far, so good...
