French Navy Forsythe

October 14, 2018October 3, 2018 SuzannaLeave a comment

Another Black Friday grab, the Forsythe from French Navy has been on my radar for a while now.  I have always wanted this pattern, but never felt I had the right fabric for it.  So I re-purposed some Jersey stripe from Girl Charlee that was originally intended for my grunge dress that has failed to… Continue reading French Navy Forsythe

Yet Another Kielo: Basic Black Version.

October 10, 2018September 30, 2018 SuzannaLeave a comment

Yes the title says it all, another Kielo make!  Named clothing are my go to pattern company, and my amount of Kielo’s are second to the amount of Inari’s I have (but no where near in number as I am Inari OBSESSED!) There was a lot of inspiration on the Instagram from a few different… Continue reading Yet Another Kielo: Basic Black Version.

Me Made: Oversized Smock Dress

October 7, 2018September 30, 2018 SuzannaLeave a comment

I always like finding out how other sewers work, how they went through the thought process that bought them to a certain garment. Its a bit of a riddle like what came first, the chicken or the egg?  Was it the pattern or was it the fabric.  Usually with myself, it is the pattern leads… Continue reading Me Made: Oversized Smock Dress

Ready to Sew are one of my favourite pattern companies, including my recent purchase I have Seven of their patterns, and the Jude I have made a ridiculous amount of times. My latest purchase was with the release of the Jack cardigan.  Oh what a perfect little cardi it is!  I was so happy with… Continue reading Ready to Sew: Jamie x2

I AM Hermes – Stripped 90’s Wonder

April 17, 2018 SuzannaLeave a comment

One thing I have loved seeing in my fashion travels is open long stripped shirts, worn over matching trouser.  Oversized striped pant suits are amazing, don’t let anyone convince you otherwise!   I have no source material on this obsession, but I think its coming from the 90’s Hip hop world of female artists.  I cant… Continue reading I AM Hermes – Stripped 90’s Wonder

Hack: Inari to Basic Tee

March 27, 2018March 27, 2018 SuzannaLeave a comment

Inari by named clothing, to me, is one of the best patterns ever. Not only do you get such a simple, sleek dress and top, but you can also hack this pattern every which way. If you want to introduce someone to sewing, this is that pattern. Not only is it quick and easy, but… Continue reading Hack: Inari to Basic Tee

If you sew you know! Little pots and tins are the difference between mayhem in a sewing basket or peace and tranquility. Thanks #paperchase sale! #sewist #sew #sewersgottasew #sewersofinstagram #sewing #sewingkit #organising #stationary
Time for some real talk here sewers: Recently I have barely sewn. And today I decided to tackle my sewing section #mariekondo style. Honestly it is so refreshing and I am feeling a new lease of life sewing. I now have a massive bag of fabric to destash (either Ebay or on here) of stuff I know I will never wear or get round to making! I have streamlined my stash to a small bundle that I am now genuinely excited about taking into my wardrobe. Also pictured above is a box of scraps I collected thinking I will someday make use off. It's now been organised and a lot has been removed. I dont feel guilty for getting rid of it... basically it was clogging the creative process. I think as a sewer I held myself to a high standard of doing something better, of recycling and helping by doing my part... what I was actually doing is holding onto unnecessary junk and getting bogged down by it. I see a lot of things on here where people show the sheer size of their stash, I have often joked about it myself and thought that's just what sewers do. What I am suggesting it that you look at your own stuff with fresh eyes and maybe streamline it, or make the promise not to by more fabric till you use one from the stash... or something simple like finishing a project before completing a new one. I think sometimes we are our own worst enemies, we justify behaviours and then wonder why we cant move on creatively. I am not moaning about the sewing community, just I have learnt something valuable about myself today and would really like to represent a more minimalist ideal in our community that seems to be absent and not as celebrated Happy sewing guys x x x #sew #sewing #sewist #sewersofinstagram #sewersgottasew #destash #fabricstash #fabric #cleanout #minimalism #declutter

Why buy a dress when you can copy it and have fun decoding the pattern! . Bear with me guys as i have a bad back at the moment and sewing is sloooowwww. About a month of not doing much and then thinking i can cut a pattern on pain killers... only to make it worse after. Urgh. This seems okay and i think i can get away with cutting it on a table as apposed to the floor. Wish me luck and hopefully i will have some new clothes soon... 🤞🏻 . #sewing #sewer #sewersofinstagram #sewingpattern #selfdrafted #copycat #copycatpattern #memadepatterns #memade #diy #diyfashion #diywardrobe #memadewardrobe #plussize #fatsew #fatfashion
