My second pair of #robertscollectiondungarees in a crisp chambray/linen blend. I fiddled a lot with the legs and, in retrospect, think I should have sized down as the bib is a little gapey. I didn’t feel like doing all that unpicking so, inspired by @thesaraproject_ and her glorious striped version, i pieced together what few scraps I had and made a belt to cinch them in a little. I guess only time will tell if I actually end up using the belt or not. The fit may not be perfect but they sure are comfy! . . . . #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #sewcialistsofinstagram #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewingaddict #indiepatterns #makeitsewcial

#Persephone pants #5 and I feel like I’ve finally nailed the fit! I sized down from my actual size after seeing that @sewliberated did so to great effect. I had some wedgie issues initially (I know that it’s a thing nowadays but I don’t think I can confidently rock the wedgie) but I managed to resolve them by increasing the width of the crotch seam. I love all my Persephone’s, but these are by far my favourite. Now I’ve just gotta figure out how to keep those hems off the floor in public toilets (I’m currently tucking into my socks but summer is around the corner). OCD problems 🤣. So much love for this pattern @annaallenclothing !!! . . . #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #memadeeveryday #handmadewardrobe #imakemyclothes #makersmovement #sewist #instasew #sewingaddict

I’ve been pretty absent on instagram since releasing my pattern but that doesn’t mean that i haven’t been sewing. Quite the contrary actually, I’ve been sewing up a storm but it’s mostly been basics that I was in dire need of. I have been crushing on @_ym.sews_ numerous pairs of #robertscollection dungarees for ages but was always so busy with my pattern that I didn’t have time to make them...until now. Wearing a very wearable muslin in lightweight rayon/linen blend. I do have a few minor fit issues to resolve but am really excited to make my next pair. This pattern is the bomb! @marillawalker . . . . #sewcialists #memadeeveryday #handmadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #indiepatterns #imakemyclothes #makersmovement #sewingaddict

I’m a day or 2 behind (it’s hard to tell with time zones and instagram algorithms confusing chronology)on this one for #sewphotohop . I made the #silviacoatigan this winter after realizing in memademay that I did not have much handmade (or otherwise) outerwear. It’s the only thing I’ve made for myself in months, excluding pattern samples. I was #sewinspired by @kylieandthemachine and her gorgeous green version as well as one posted by the always stylish @anna.zoe.sewing . I was kind of surprised by minimal instructions but not too bothered as it was quite a quick and easy sew. It’s definitely going to be a seasonal favorite @houseofpinheiro houseofpinheiro . . . . #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #imakemyclothes #slowfashion #sewistsofinstagram #imakefashion #sewingaddict #capetownsews

and so, without any further ado I finally present the #morningsidedress and #morningsideshirt pattern. I’ve been sitting on this release for a few days, honestly just terrified to share it. I’ve put so much work into it and putting it out there makes me feel really vulnerable somehow. I have really loved and lived in multiple versions of this dress over the years and I hope that a few of you guys find the same faithful friend in these garments. Huge shout out to my testers (and new Instagram friends) I COULD not have done this without you all ❤️ . . . . . #sewcialists #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #indiepatterns #makeitsewcial #capetownsews #imakemyclothes #slowfashion #gingerjeans

Can I cheat and combine day 2 and day 3 of #sewphotohop ? My #WIP for the past 7 months has been my new pattern, i take my laptop everywhere with me and steal 10 mins here or there before work or on my lunch break. Any sewing I’ve been doing has been versions of this dress and (short sleeved!) shirt and this has been a cold winter!! I’m definitely an all in one girl in summer and I live in dresses most of the time. I’m looking forward to wearing my many new versions of the #morningsidedress this summer as well as loads of other dress and jumpsuit patterns that I’m itching to sew! @houseofpinheiro . . . . #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #indiepatterns #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewingaddict
