Wilder Gown

After a 3 month hiatus, I'm back on the blog to share a cute mini gown named "Wilder" that I just finished.

Hello!

Hi, I’m Emmanuelle. I’m a French Canadian seamstress currently living in Madison, WI. I love sewing, fitting, designing fabric prints or hunting down the grooviest 1960’s florals. (I’m a bit of fabric nerd!) The purpose of this blog is to document my personal sewing journey. Hope you like it!

I’m back at the sewing machine and I made a #solinatop to go with my #mndawn! I finished the high waist, wide leg pants last spring just before finding out I was pregnant. So I only got a couple of wears out of them before they no longer fit. Now that my waist has shrunk a little, I’m so happy to get these out of the closet again. For sizing reference, I cut a size 2 at the time which matched exactly my pre-pregnancy waist and hip measurements. I shortened the leg by 1 1/2 inch. I decided to make a matching Solina top from #breakingthepattern with the cotton twill I had left over from the pants. I love how this medium weight fabric enhances the structured look. About the waist ties, does it look weird to knot them at the back instead of at the front like they’re supposed to (see picture 2)? I kind of like both… Having completed this top makes me so happy. Obviously, time is limited since we welcomed our little boy in December. So finding 20 min here and there to stitch a few seams feels great! ✂️✂️✂️ Top: @namedclothing Solina Top Pants: @megannielsenpatterns Dawn Jeans Fabric: Cotton Twill ✂️✂️✂️ #slowsewing #sewtwistsandties #sewingcommunity #breakingthepatternbook #namedclothing #megannielsonpatterns #indiepattern #sewingindie #sewing #dressmaking #handmadewardrobe #ilovetosew #sewistsofinstagram #sewingpants #pantssewing #sewcialists #madisonsews #wisconsinsews #sewyourbooks #slowfashion #slowfashion2020 #momssewatnight #momswhosew #memadeoutfit #makeyourownfashion #sewingjourney #sewersofinstagram

10 days already since we welcomed our little Jules, time flies! 💙👶🏻💙 I’m slowly starting to think about what to make for this new postpartum/breastfeeding phase 🤔 In the meantime, my #evidress (which I’m wearing in the second picture) has been working pretty well!

Today on my blog (link in bio), I look back and see which “pregnancy” and “pre-pregnancy” makes I wore the most over the past 9 months. Hint: this #ddgivre which I made more than 2 years ago (so not the maternity version of the pattern) is in the top 5 😉 . . #sewingcommunity #sewingblogger #sewingbloggersofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #pregnancysewing #maternitysewing #sewcialists #slowsewing #slowfashion #makeitsewcial #memadeeveryday #deeranddoe #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #memadewardrobe #imakemyownclothes #sewingforthebump

I’ve made a few basics to stay comfy (as possible) during my last weeks (or days 😅) of pregnancy & this #mandyboattee is one of my favourites! . 🌿Using one of my floral designs printed on @spoonflower Organic Cotton Knit! . #spoonflowerfabric #maternitysewing #pregnancysewing #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #sewingcommunity #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #madisonsews #indiesewing

Here it is! McCall’s M7995 in a gorgeous tulle fabric courtesy of Minerva, featuring embroidered flowers AND sequins! Got to be one of the fanciest fabrics I’ve ever sewed with. Thanks Minerva! M7995 is a loose-fitting short dress that comes with the whole kit and caboodle: optional flounces, ruffles and a large side bow collar. The kind of dress that makes me wanna dance. I cut a size Small for the top of the dress and a size Medium for the bottom for my growing belly. Though at 35 weeks pregnant, my intention for this dress is mainly postpartum use… In fact, I don’t even have a holiday party to attend this year, I just couldn’t resist a little #sewfrosting 😉. . . Fabric: Embroidered Tulle from @minervadotcom + black bemberg rayon + burgundy stretchy satin fabric for the contrast collar and flounces. Pattern: #M7995 @mccallpatterncompany . . . 🇫🇷 Elle est là: McCall’s M7995 dans un superbe tulle brodé ET pailleté offert par Minerva ! Un vrai luxe de coudre avec ce tissu. Merci Minerva ! Une robe courte et ample qui sort l’artillerie lourde: en option, des volants de toutes sortes et un col à gros noeud. Le type de robe qui me donne envie danser. J’ai coupé un Small pour le haut et un Medium pour le bas, l’histoire d’y caser mon ventre qui continue de s’arrondir. Bien qu’à 35 semaines de grossesse, j’ai plutôt l’intention de porter cette robe postpartum… En réalité, aucune fête de fin d’année de prévu, je ne pouvais juste pas résister à l’appel du #sewfrosting2019 #sewingcommunity #sewistsofinstagram #sewersgonnasew #sewingblogger #sewingisfun #sewingfashion #Madisonsews #diyfashion #instacouture #cousumain #sewing #handmadewardrobe #sewfrostingnotcake #holidaysewing #sewcialistsofinstagram #mccallspatterns #sewersofinstagram #ilovesewing #wisconsinsews #madisonsews #jeportecequejecouds #sewsewsew #coutureaddict #sewingaddict #cousette #pregnancysewing #maternitysewing #35weekspregnant
