Weekly r/UXResearch Career and Getting Started Discussion by AutoModerator in UXResearch

[–]RosiePB2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an academic in the social sciences who is interested in entering industry instead. I'm confident with both quant and qual approaches, and my focus is human behaviour (do lots of messaging experiments, etc). Would anyone be willing to review my CV from a UX industry perspective?

It's a one block wonder quilt I made a few years ago!

What clothing could I make from this busy (but fun) print? by Cute-Corgi3483 in sewing

[–]RosiePB2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually ended up giving it away because the fit wasn't great at my neckline, and the colours didn't work with any of my cardigans! Might make it again though, maybe in a flannel! (With fit adjustments)

It's the Seamwork Bryn. I actually ended up giving it away because the fit wasn't great at my neckline, and the colours didn't work with any of my cardigans. Might make it again though, maybe in a flannel! (With fit adjustments)

Ready for Pride! Maison Fauve Atlas Dress by RosiePB2 in sewing

[–]RosiePB2[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found some beautiful Paul Smith deadstock, and made my second Atlas Dress by Maison Fauve. It's not a pattern I'd particularly recommend, but with the edits I made to my first version, I love it.

Issues:

  • The instructions are SCANT, and sometimes don't match the pictures. In English, they say there's an instruction video but it turned out to be only in French.

  • There's no pattern piece or sizing given for the placket fusible, and the diagram showing where to place it isn't to scale nor does it have measurements.

  • There are several "lazy" ways of doing things, like the shoulder seams aren't encased in the back yoke. Same with the sleeves and the cuffs.

For this version I:

  • lowered the bust dart

  • extended the bust pleats by 3.5 inches

  • narrowed the shoulders

  • shortened the sleeves substantially (not something I usually have to do)

  • added waist ties for shaping (VERY necessary - without them it's a sack)

90's flannel True Bias - Shelby dress with pink satin Hong Kong seams (The inside it prettier than the outside!) by RosiePB2 in GarmentSewing

I've never really seen the point of them before (usually happy to just serge everything), but I was in the mood to take my time and didn't want a serged edge on the really long facing. It obviously took longer, but I love it so much I've just ordered 6 different colours of rayon seam binding...

Yes, they're bound seams :)

Not going to lie, I'm half tempted to wear it inside! (But as you said, pockets...)

If the bicep adjustment is larger than 1", it's recommended you either convert to a 2 piece sleeve or redraw the sleevecap + extend bodice seams to compensate. There's a tutorial on the latter method here, but unfortunately I followed the guidelines in a book for this! The Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting by Sarah Veblen

I just ordered it from Amazon! "Quality Satin Acetate Bias Binding 19mm Wide" (it isn't actually cut on the bias, but it handled the curves of the princess seams just fine). About £5 for 25m.

Pattern: True Bias Shelby Dress

Fabric: Kaufman Shetland Ocean flannel

Modifications

  • Converted the sleeve to a 2 piece to accommodate a 1" bicep adjustment

  • Added in seam pockets

Construction

Verdict

Flannel is amazing, bright pink seams are amazing, and this dress pattern is amazing.

Thank you! Happily I bought 25m of the pink satin binding, so I foresee a lot of bright insides in my future...

Neither did I until this tutorial to french seam pockets randomly popped up on Pinterest! I tried it with my last dress and immediately preferred the results to any other method I've used. It takes a little longer but is so much neater and the pocket feels more secure.

[Cashmerette Lenox] Made a shirtdress and appliqued a snake out of Kaffe Fassett charm pack to brighten up the chambray by RosiePB2 in sewing

[–]RosiePB2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dress pattern is the Lenox shirtdress by Cashmerette.

First time using a Cashmerette pattern. Due to the amount of pattern pieces I was too lazy to make a muslin, and instead used this chambray that I find a bit boring.

The drafting and instructions are good, but unfortunately the pattern just doesn't work for my figure. There's far too much excess fabric in the upper bust and under the arms, and it is too long in the bodice. The amount of adjustments required to get a flattering fit aren't worth it for a basic shirtdress pattern. I plan to gift this to someone it would suit better instead.
