How is March almost over already?! I’ve been doing a lot of sewing this year, but only for pattern development and I am I SO missing doing recreational sewing right now as the seasons are changing and I’m battling to get dressed in the morning. I dropped my patterns off at the grader this week and, because I SO needed a palate cleaner before embarking upon digitizing it and compiling the instructions, I finally sewed up the #petiteschosespattern by @atelierscammit and @petites_choses__ which I’ve been dreaming about for months. I didn’t have chance / inclination to get fabric for this project so I just improvised with what I had in my stash. The fabric does not do the details of this pattern justice. It is so beautifully drafted (and finished), and I can’t wait to find some time to make more of these! #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewists #makeitsewcial #imakemyownclothes #capetownsews #makeyourstash

I always so enjoy Tori of @thedoingthingsblog and her recreations of Pinterest inspiration photos, so I was so excited when she did one using #thestellantee !! I love her look even more than her inspiration ❤️ . . . #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #freesewingpattern #indiepatterns #handmadewardrobe #sewingwithknits #makeitsewcial #sewinginspiration

I’ve been feeling overwhelmed the past few weeks, finding it really difficult to get back into juggling work, parenting and side hustling. I kind of avoid my phone when I feel this way in an attempt to avert anxiety. But, when Beth of @sewdiyblog made (and wrote such a sweet review about) a pair of #thecalyerpants , I couldn’t let it go undocumented in my feed! . . . #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #sewists #handmadefashion #indiepatterns #handmadeclothing #makeitsewcial

Depressed to be back at work and not sewing / working on patterns / engaging on IG. At least I have these beautiful #thestellantee versions popping up in my feed to brighten up my day! Thank you @twodogs_and_a_sewingmachine @havinsewmuchfun @s.is.for.sew @okpatterns @kirrily_b for sharing your beautiful makes 😍 . . . . #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewingbasics #indiepatterns #sewists #sewcialistsofinstagram #freesewingpattern

Today is the day that I’ve decided to FINALLY release this pattern. I keep trying to make peace with imperfection but damn, it gets me every time!!! Struggles with imperfection aside, I do love this patten - simple t-shirt that it is, and hope that you do too. I don’t remember having even a fraction of this apprehension when I released the (effectively) instruction-free and not-at-all pattern tested Orla dress 😂... ignorance is bliss I guess. Shout out to @soapandchalk @kirrily_b and @anna.zoe.sewing for helping me out with testing 😘. Oh and also it’s free. You definitely do not need to subscribe to a mailing list or follow me or anything like that, but if you’re someone who does like to share your makes then please tag the pattern if you’re comfortable with doing so. I’m feeling even more inarticulate than usual today so that’s it 🙂✌🏽 . . . #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #sewcialistsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #indiepatterns #capetownsews #sewist #imakemyownclothes #memadeeveryday #makeitsewcial #frenchnavypatterns

Joining in with @whatkatiesews in her #dresslikeacrayon 🖍 hashtag (even though I feel like perhaps #dresslikearomanycream may have been a more appropriate description of today’s ensemble 🙃) I LOVE seeing all the inspiration of head-to-toe one colour outfits on this hashtag because I’ve totally been doing this for the past year or so - sewing tops and bottoms in the same fabric. I find that it allows me to look (or at least feel) put-togetherish for work while still feeling like myself by wearing the silhouettes and styles that I normally would. It also makes getting dressed in the morning much easier, for me anyway. Top is hacked off #theadeliadress by @the.hemming and pants are my summer staple #thecalyerpants . . . . #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #sewcialistsofinstagram #indiepatterns #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #imakemyownclothes #sewingisselfcare #capetownsews
