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

Thanks @pinkcoatclub and @theunfinishedseamstress for hosting #brightsewing 💛💜💚 seeing everyone’s beautiful and colourful makes certainly brightened my January. Here’s one of my favourite makes from last summer: a tie front jumpsuit #m7789 in a gorgeous geometric cotton lawn. 📷 Amazing pics @crimsonsunstudios ... #sewcialists #sewing #handmadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #mccallspatterns #diyfashion #jecoudsdoncjesuis #jeportecequejecouds #instasew #instasewing #passioncouture #cousette

My #jackiedress in gold knit is completed and it feels great to finally wear it. This knit dress is so comfy! Based on my measurements, I initially made a size 4 but I probably should have sized it down as I ended up removing quite a bit all over the bodice to make it more snug. I also shortened the back bodice and the sleeves. I kept the skirt’s original length (Version 2) which is supposed to fall just below the knee but looks more midi on me! ✨ #victorypatterns #sewing #sewinglove #golddress #knitdress #indiesewing #sewistsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #imadethis #jackiedresspattern #sewingismysuperpower #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #slowfashion #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #sewcialists
