[V1847 take 2]
Feeling like you’re having a déjà vu? Yes, this one might look familiar to you. I made this pattern a few years ago, last time in sweater form, this time in gabardine.
The fabric is one I got from my mum’s fabric supply, I have no idea where it comes from but I love the colour. I think it was deadstock fabric from a Belgian fashion brand but it must be at least 30 years old. Who cares, I’m happy I can give it new life…
This pattern is quite simple really and the sleeves are amazing, we love a dramatic sleeve!
Can’t wait to wear it for as long as winter lasts here in Dubai, spring will be there before we know it!
Have a great week ahead!
Fabric: deadstock
Pattern: vogue 1847

First sewing project of the year done ❤ She's not perfect but I've been wanting a white mini skirt for awhile now and I've been playing with the #simplicitypatterns #8093 pattern so reusing the waistband pattern for this skirt was perfect.
Is the skirt too short, yes. Will I ever learn? No and I do not wish to ✨️
✅ I completed another sewing bucket list item with this barn jacket pattern from Butterick. This is #b7016 and it’s a family pattern with both youth and adult sizes in the packet. I chose the size small and shortened the bodice pattern pieces by 2.5”. I need to remember to shorten the sleeves as well because they came up super long. 🙃
This pattern does not come with a lining, but the chunky corduroy which is from the Eddie Bauer line at joann_stores was a little thin for what I wanted, so I decided to challenge myself with figuring it out all by myself. I picked a pretty blue flannel from my stash and found some lining fabric for the sleeves that I had thrifted a while back. I took a lot of cues from a RTW jacket I had with a lining and realized that I needed to take into account the need for ease and movement. Needless to say, I figured out all of the math and it worked! I can’t believe I did that all on my own! It’s such a cozy warm coat and perfect for the weather we’re having right now!
The collar fabric is a gorgeous navy corduroy on top and a vegan leather underneath, both from califabrics
And, of course, my favorite sarahhearts label in the back ☀️ 🌊

Simplicity S8014
simplicity_creative_group #S8014 is my go to shirt dress pattern. While I will make every shirt dress pattern this is the one I always go back to.
It was perfect for this stretch viscose from formerlatterfabrics. The print is very busy and large scale so the pattern allowed the print to shine without competing with the pattern lines.
I made a size 10 with no adjustments except cutting the skirt length between View A & B to work with the fabric width. I also cut the back skirt on the fold and 2 yokes for a burrito finished yoke. I finished this with pigeonwishes.shops buttons.
Every time I wear a shirt dress I am reminded why I love them so much! Do you have a style that you always go back to?

We have a #vintage #reproduction #sewingpattern today. Made from fabric I scored at a bayareasewists swap that I believe handmademillennial brought! This is #vogue #vp955 .
Check out this head to toe vintage outfit by Amy of maisondomino. She used vintage patterns #M7935 for the pants and S8469 for the blazer!
Here’s what she said about her recent make:
“I made another suit!! It’s about time, too. I picked up this suiting fabric over two years ago with the intention of making a full suit with it and it took me the better part of those two years to find patterns that would do it justice. I knew I wanted to make an oversized double breasted blazer, and also wanted it to lean a little on the vintage side of things. So I sought out men’s vintage blazer patterns and found a boy’s one that was in my size! I used a vintage trouser pattern that I have used before and attempted to make the leg silhouette a little slimmer.”
〰Fabric: Italian Black and White Windowpane Check Stretch Wool Suiting from moodfabrics
Bravo Amy!

Why are Christmas trees bad at sewing ?

I had so much fun participating in the #SewcretKristmas challenge. Each sewist was paired with a Secret Santa who created a mood board of inspiration for us to sew.
britasews created an amazing mood board for me just from the post here on my feed. She nailed it, she totally gets me 🥰😎😉
unsewcial Thank You ✂️🪡🧵for putting this all together. This time of year I usually struggle with creating and this challenge pushed me and I’m thankful for the experience!

Check out Lorina of @sew_lorina in this beautiful purple coat that she made with Vogue pattern #V8884. Here’s what she said about her recent make:
“Purple is not a trending color or an ordinary choice for a fall coat, but it is my favorite color!
I started this coat at our sewing retreat to finish it this weekend. It’s Vogue 8884 and it’s a great classic lined coat with a few different options. I chose view A and made it in a melton wool I had purchased from Melanated Fabrics some time ago. Lined in a charmeuse satin it’s a great weight for fall or Spring.
The coat is a great fit with the only adjustments made were to the sleeves that I added approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch to as they are rather slim. The hems are hand sewn so between the buttons and sleeve and main hem it’s a bit of time. I really love the outcome so I definitely want to make another.”
Bravo Lorina!

We love this jacket by @caitlin_anne13. She used Burda pattern #BUR5941 to make the look!
Here’s what she said about making her very first jacket:
“I recently got back into sewing and made my first jacket! I was inspired by the quilted jackets I’d seen at LoveShackFancy and Selkie. I thought this style of jacket was so cute, but I didn’t want to spend $100s on one, so I made my own!
For being the first jacket I’ve made, I’m really happy with how it turned out and I can’t wait to keep making more projects 🎀💖”
Bravo Caitlin! 🪡

This is my first official attempt at sewing knits (in freaking velvet, no less). It’s a mashup of New Look 6838 view A and Mood Sewciety’s Tacca dress. I’ve wanted to make the latter for ages now, despite it being intended for woven fabrics. Naturally I had to make some changes to make this work: I initially cut size 4 but ended up taking it in by 1.5” on the side seams and 1/2” from the centre back seam. I also added 3” to the length (honestly after wearing it out I should’ve added even more 😬) and took 3” off from the streamer. In a rare move I eschewed pockets (they were not included in the original pattern anyway) due to the weight of the fabric and to maintain a more fitted silhouette.
▪️
As for the bodice, I originally cut a small but will likely size down for future versions. The neckline was gaping so I added some bilateral darts before finishing it. I took 2” from the centre back seam, sewed XS sleeves with a 3/4” seam allowance, and shortened the sleeves by 2”. I also cut it off at my natural waist so I could attach it to the skirt.

Holiday season 2024 has officially started. Kicking off the season with my boo’s company party and it was such a fun night.
I found this fabric during my October trip to the LA fabric mart and while I was initially drawn to the black face side of the fabric, it was the back red side that really sold me. I am a sucker for a beautiful red and the black and green tones on the back side were so inspiring to me. I did struggle with what pattern to make and almost made another Sweetheart Flounce dress by Pattern Establishment but finally pivoted to this Vogue pattern. I love the skirt on this pattern but the top has failed me twice so I tossed the top I made and used the ByHandLondon Kim bodice pattern which fit like a dream. I kept the Vogue skirt and everything worked out. I am so pleased with this dress and wish I had events to wear it to on the daily.
