And it's actually reasonable, because after all the things Bohdanka's been through in her version, a remaining wing would really make it an awful ending...Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-62767519274703239982010-06-09T12:50:37.868+02:002010-06-09T12:50:37.868+02:00Hm, maybe that was the original version and Němcov...Hm, maybe that was the original version and Němcová smoothed it out to have a really happy ending. :-) I personally think she smoothed out a lot of things. ;-)Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-60473652342431447322010-06-08T23:07:23.045+02:002010-06-08T23:07:23.045+02:00Well, I know the story about those seven brothers ...Well, I know the story about those seven brothers - ravens differently... I always thought that the youngest brother had an entire wing instead of his arm! Who would be bothered with few feathers, you know, think of a wing...! :) Great story, and someone made a great song out of it... can´t remember who.<br />Jana T.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-85287276123502661202010-06-07T21:04:16.671+02:002010-06-07T21:04:16.671+02:00Yes, that's what I'm hoping, too!
The per...Yes, that's what I'm hoping, too!<br /><br />The period technique, from what I could gather, were flat-felled seams. But I was afraid it'd be more trouble to make - especially considering I have never made them yet!Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-41197043547378260452010-06-07T02:07:43.403+02:002010-06-07T02:07:43.403+02:00It's looking good!

And I wouldn't worry about the French seams...it'll probably help it to hold up better too, besides looking more finished!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-25117136269604867172010-06-06T16:59:36.781+02:002010-06-06T16:59:36.781+02:00Gore is a piece of fabric - usually triangular - s...Gore is a piece of fabric - usually triangular - sewn between two other pieces of fabric to add width to the garment.<br />It's also used for pieced skirts - 4-gored skirt, 6-gored skirt, 8-gored skirt, 12-gored skirt...<br />French seam is this: http://www.burdastyle.com/techniques/sew-french-seams-and-why-bother<br /><br />The tale is similar, but not the same. In Němcová's version, the brothers turned into ravens even before their sister was born, because they kept disturbing their mother when she was baking bread. Their sister went to save them, but finding them was not enough: she had to seed flax, harvest it, make into fabric and sew seven shirts out of it, all this without speaking a word. (That means, for years probably!) It got even more complicated, but I don't want to make this comment too long. :-)Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-14637652670728794962010-06-06T15:27:21.456+02:002010-06-06T15:27:21.456+02:00I know this much (show thumb and index finger 1/2&...I know this much (show thumb and index finger 1/2" apart) about sewing. What's a gore? What's a French seam?<br /><br />I googled "seven ravens". Is this the same that the Brothers Grimm collected? <br /><br />Looking good! I picked up some $1/yd cottons that I want to make a summer dress or two from. Gonna take inspiration from you!Mama Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534245701379707268noreply@blogger.com
