BEAT THE SEAMS OF IRON

I love Google Translate.

A while back, another sewing blogger linked to Manequim’s collection of free patterns – really chic, really cute… one problem? They’re all in Portuguese! So I downloaded the pattern for this beauty : 

601_blusa-de-voal-de-sedaNow, for good old Google translate. I loved how back in Year 9, kids used to try and fool the foreign language teachers into thinking that they’d done awesome German/French/whathaveyou homework by writing it in English and then using google translate – except not only would Google translate use forms that they hadn’t even learn yet, it would use them incorrectly! Fun times to be had when marking that piece of work! I half want to give out homework just to see if anyone does it at my school, but it’s a Gymnasium, and they’re all clever enough and hard working enough to do it themselves! There goes my fun :(

But anyway, here’s what  google translate makes of the  instructions:

MOUNT
• Close the sides of the external and internal parts separately.
• Add the external and internal parts, right on right, with a seam by
edges of the armholes. Beat the seams of iron, turning the gaps on the inside parts
internal and secure with stitching different. Revire parts, inside on inside.
• Close the collar with a seam, holding the edges under, right on
right. Next, crease the collar along the length, leaving the
edges higher, right on right.
• Sew the edges of the larger collar, without closing the edges of the neckline assembly
front and back. Revire, inside on inside.
• Sew the right edge of the inside of the collar at the neckline of the right front
and back, matching the numbers mount.
• Put up the outside edge of the right of the neckline and secure with
different stitching.
• Put up the bottom edges (0.3 cm, approximately) for the reverse. Tap
iron. Put up the borders again and again secure with stitching.

Go on then! Get to it! BEAT THOSE SEAMS OF IRON DAMN YOU!
