My newest make! I used #aksamantha for the lovely wrap bodice and I drafted the midi skirt with side slits. I went with my own skirt instead of the Samantha dress pattern because I really wanted to sew with this beautiful stretch velvet that I had in my stash. The velvet is quite thin and with those gorgeous textured vertical lines, I thought a straight skirt would work better for this particular fabric. I like how it turned out. And aren't those sleeve bow ties super cute?! @akpatterns #sewistsofinstagram #diyfashion #handmadewardrobe #sewcialist #instasew #instasewing #stretchvelvetdress #dressmakersofinstagram #sewing #imakemyownclothes #patternhack #selfishsewing #memadeeveryday #sewinghack #samanthadress #samanthadressmonth

My #ddagave is on the blog! I’m in love with @deer_and_doe_patterns new asymmetrical wrap skirt and the fact that it is reversible (for Version A) - 2 skirts in 1, what’s not to like?! And it’s a perfect pattern to use some smaller pieces of fabric I had in my stash (1/2 yard per side). One one side, I used a geometric piqué (I tried to carefully match the pattern at the asymmetric line). On the other side, I used two shades of faux suede to emphasize the asymmetric panels. **details are on the blog (link in bio)** #agaveskirt #deeranddoepatterns #reversibleskirt #indiesewing #indiesewingpatterns #makemystash #sewcialists #slowfashion #sewingblogger #sewingblog #sewistsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #cousumain #diyfashion #jeportecequejecouds #instasew #memadewardrobe

It’s still chilly for my newest make, but I wanna wear my boilersuit in Tencel twill so bad that I’ll take the goosebumps 🙈 #jpreadytosew #readytosew #boilersuit #boilersuitsyou #handmadewardrobe #sewistofinstagram #sewist #jecouds #jeportecequejecouds #handmadefashion #slowfashion #makersmovement #sewcialists #madewithmood #isew #sewinglove #tenceltwill #springsewing #sewingforspring #diyfashion #diywardrobe

The zero-waste jacket pattern by @elbe_textiles is amazing (Tutorial is on Elbe Textiles’ blog). To make mine, I used my linen and denim off-cuts and scraps. I enjoyed playing with the different sizes, shapes and colours. Plus in the process, I significantly reduced my fabric scrap basket. I even used the selvage to make the vertical stripes at the front which is one of my favourite details of the garment. Here, I’m pairing it with my #gingerjeans & crop #nikkotop 💙💙 .... #zerowastepattern #elbetextiles #slowfashion #sewingwithscraps #consciousfashion #slowfashionmovement #sustainablesewing #handmadeclothing #handmadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #useyourscraps #isewmyownclothes #fabricremnants #patchworkclothing

It's #shirtmonth! I made this Saraste Shirt Dress from the book #breakingthepattern by @namedclothing in a gorgeous floral rayon from @mapetitemercerie 🌿🌼🌸 Saraste is a semi-fitted shirt dress with a gathered skirt. I chose to make the long sleeve w/cuff version. Some sewing details and adjustments: I cut a size 2. I shortened the bodice and the sleeves by 1 inch. I also took in 1 inch at the sides. I'm happy how the fit turned out. I was afraid the busy floral would mute the beautiful lines of the pattern so I sewed piping to the princess seams and the collar. This floral rayon was awesome to sew with and came right on time for #sewingfloralfebruary and #sewingpatternsandprints organized by the lovely @voiceofacreative @sewn_on_the_tyne & @purplesewingcloud 🌸🌼🌿 #sewing #Isew #sewcialists #diyfashion #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #sewinglove #indiesewing #sarasteshirtdress #sarasteshirt #namedclothingpatterns #breakingthepatternbook #mapetitemercerie #handmadeclothing #sewingismysuperpower #slowfashion #dressmakersofinstagram
