SIMISỌLÁ-mekko

SIMISỌLÁ-dress

English under read more!

Sain eilen valmiiksi mun kesämekkoprojektin! Kyllä, nyt on marraskuu, mutta koska tykkään että mun vaatteet on käytettävissä ympäri vuoden, tein siitä sen kokoisen että alle saa hyvin laitettua tarvittaessa pitkähihaisen paidan. Oon hirmu tyytyväinen siihen miten hyvä tästä tuli, tuntuu että tää on 100% mua niin mallin kuin värinsä puolesta!

Alkuperäinen malli SIMISỌLÁ on julkaistu Tauko-lehden numerossa 8 / 2023 ja sen on suunnitellut Tammy Silver. Muokkasin sitä jonkun verran ittelleni sopivaksi, koska halusin symmetrisen pääntien ja käytin mekon ylä- ja alaosassa keskenään eri kokoja. Yhden rintamuotolaskoksen sijasta käytin kahta laskosta, toinen suunnattuna sivusaumaan ja toinen vyötärösaumaan. Vyötärö on myöskin vähän alkuperäistä korkeampi, koska laskin väärin kuinka monta senttiä laskoksiin oli mennyt ja huomasin virheen vasta kun olin jo leikannut kappaleet. Onneks ero oli vain 4cm ja nykyinen vyötärölinja istuu mulle hyvin.

Ohjeet oli hyvät ja selkeät ja poikkesin niistä ainoastaan yhdessä kohtaa kun helmasin peplumin ennen kuin kiinnitin sen hameeseen. Itse lehti sekä kaava-arkki olivat laadukasta paperia ja kaava-arkin merkinnät näkyi hyvin koska yhdellä puolella ei ollut älyttömän paljon kaavoja, joten siitä oli mukava kopioida.

Materiaalilöpinä: Päällikangas on 100% puuvillaa (menekki 2.8m ennen 5% kutistumaa, pakan leveys 1.4m) ja koko mekko peplum-helmaa lukuun ottamatta on vuorattu puuvillapopliinilla (97% puuvillaa ja 3% elastaania, menekki 2.15m ennen 5% kutistumaa, pakan leveys 1.4m). Lisäksi käytin n. 5 metriä 20mm vinonauhaa, 200m ompelulankaa ja n. metrin kuminauhaa.

Nyt voin olla ihana keltanen valopilkku syksyn harmauden ja talven synkkyyden keskellä <3

The summer dress (linked post in Finnish) is finished! Despite it being November I'll be able to wear it because I made the dress with wintertime in mind, which means the dress has enough ease to fit a long-sleeved shirt underneath. I'm very happy with how it turned out and I feel like the dress is 100% me!

The original pattern SIMISỌLÁ was published in Tauko magazine issue 8 / 2023 and it is designed by Tammy Silver. I had to edit the pattern somewhat for fit and because I wanted a symmetric necline. The bodice and dress are of different sizes to fit me properly. For the bust, I used two darts instead of the single dart in the pattern. The waistline is also higher than in the pattern, because I made a calculation error when making the side seam dart larger, and did not realise until after cutting the pattern pieces. Luckily the difference is only 4cm and the waisline looks good on me.

The instructions provided with the pattern were clear and I only stayed from them once when I hemmed the peplum before sewing it onto the dress. The magazine and pattern sheet were of good quality paper. Markings on the pattern sheet were comfortable to trace because they were clear and not too many patterns were crammed on one sheet.

Materials: The fashion fabric is 100% cotton (metrage 2.8m before 5% shrinkage, fabric width 1.4m) and the whole dress apart from the peplum hem is flatlined with a cotton poplin (97% cotton, 3% elastane, metrage 2.15m before 5% shrinkage, fabric width 1.4m). In addition to the fabrics I used approximately 5m of 20mm bias tape, 200m of thread and around a meter of elastic band.

I bought two Ruth Rendell novels from a charity shop. I’ve just finished one and loved it very much.

Don’t you love it when you discover an author you’ve never read before?

"Lying on the pavement, where someone had discarded it, was an ES 461, the highly colored questionnaire form. It was open at page three and when Wexford bent to pick it up he saw the egregious question four: 'If you have not worked for the past twelve months, how have you spent your time?' had been answered. Carefully printed in the allotted space was a single word, 'Wanking.'"

THE MESSAGE The song is about a lady who is enjoying her youthful age and does not want to commit to any serious relationship or marriage. The background of the song has Simi sing from the perspective of a lady who has just been proposed to by her lover. Unknown to this lover of hers, she was not into the relationship for a lifelong commitment in marriage. She was just into the relationship for sex and a little level of companionship. In other words they were more of friends with benefits than lovers. Opening up the song with a mixture of soul and ballad music; she sings by asking her supposed friend with benefits why he is getting too serious with the relationship. According to her they already had the conversation of whether they are going to get serious or not with their relationship goals. In a refrain, she tells him not to mess up the friendship that they have by asking for more in the form of marriage or a serious relationship. She tells him that she is not ready to get into such seriousness in her life- highlighting that she might be ready in 2021. In a pre-chorus, she explains in details why she cannot get into such commitments. Simi sing that that she might disappoint him if she allows herself to get into something serious with him. According to her she just wants to enjoy life and the moment; but laments that the friendship she has with this fellow is no longer beneficial because he want more. She opens up the chorus by explaining that this friend of hers said he wants to be her lover and companion forever. She finishes off by stating emphatically that she does not have room for love or relationship as they speak.
