It’s been a couple years since I sewed my best guy a new shirt, and he outgrew his last one, so this went to the top of my sewing queue. I love collaborating with him to choose a fabric and style. The bold colors suit his personality perfectly 💙 I used Simplicity #s8180 and loved working with this pattern! It includes both adult and kids sizes for this shirt (as well as a long sleeve version, boxer shorts, and a tie!) so it was a really versatile purchase. #sewingforkids #sewistsofinstgram #thanksimadeit

It’s a beautiful bluey Christmas 🎄🐶🩵 I love how happy we are as a family. I’m honestly so lucky to have such perfect guys who let me rope them into my sewing adventures. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect family, can’t wait to see what 2025 brings our way ❤️ Patterns: @simplicitymccallsaustralia Dress- Newlook #n6692 Shirt- simplicity #s8180 Shorts- simplicity #s9758 Dog scarves- Spoonflower’s free pattern Fabric: bluey and family Christmas bauble cotton from @spotlightstores … #christmas #christmasdress #simplicity #simplicitypatterns #simplicity8180 #simplicity9758 #memade #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #itswhatyoumakeit #bluey #blueychristmas #sew #sewing #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #sewists #sewcute #newlookpatterns #newlook6692 #goldenretriever #goldenretrievers #goldenretrieversofinstagram #goldenretrieverlovers #couplegoals #familygoals

When you don't really care about baseball but you do love your baseball-fan family and you have a skill and some time on your hands, well, ya know, custom made merch happens. The fabrics are #fleishmanfabricsfinds from @fleishmansupplies and the patterns are a hacked @simplicity_creative_group #s8099 and a #s8180 that I have ISSUES with and a @gertie18 #charmpatterns #picnicblouse and a @ohmeohmysewing #wrapupromper and the game itself is something that happened while I chased my niece around the children's play area. Go Phillies! #gophillies

Im obsessed with how vibrant and beautiful this fabric is!

I tend to avoid garments with buttons. Buttons intimidate me and never come out right. BUT for this little boy shirt, I persevered! I used painters tape to hold the buttons in place as I machine stitched them. . . #sewinghack #buttonsewinghack #painterstape #ihatebuttons #diyfashion #handmade #sew #sewing #s8180

First matching family outfit for 2025 💚🩵 We are starting off strong with a classic Australian vibe with the bin chickens. Mitchell of course picked out this fabric. I think you can tell when Mitchell picks out fabric because he likes the vibrant fun character fabrics whereas I’m more of a blue pink floral person 😂 I originally bought this fabric just for Mitchell but there was some leftovers so we jumped on the bin chicken wagon. This whole set was made out of 5m of the main fabric with some strategic cutting. How many fun outfits will I manage to make this year with Mitchell’s fabric influence?

✨ Holiday sewing ✨ Another shirt that I made for my husband A linen shirt in a colour that he picked @simplicitymccallsuk #s8180 I omitted the top button with the loop otherwise easy pattern to follow. I've made it for him before and will likely make it again 😎 Buttons were a charity shop find 👌🏻 and go well with this shirt #sewist #sewityourself #sewistsofinstagram #simplicitypatterns #simplicitycreativegroup #menssewing #menssewingpatterns #holidaysewing #sewinggifts

I told myself I wasn’t going to make any of this years Christmas gifts, but then I found this Harry Potter printed cotton at @spotlight and simply couldn’t resist a pyjama set for my best friend! Shorts: #foxieboxies by @bygraciesteel - this is such a fun, easy make with a super cute result Shirt: men’s #s8180 for an oversized look

Happy FriYAY Folks!!!! . Today you get to meet 26bydayana’s number one behind the scene fan. Hubby has supported all my sewing endeavors, small or big he is there cheering me on. As much as I said that I would not get into menswear making him a matching set was definitely in the cards and boy he loves it and that my friends was the goal. . This was his Father’s Day gift and we used it for this year’s anniversary pics and GOSHHH I love how they turned out💚 (check out yesterday’s reel) the scenery was matching the print and the model delivered!! I used a simplicity pattern to create this look; cut a size small, no modification was needed for neither pieces and that’s always a plus in my book. As a personal preference I added jaw strings to the shorts and cut out at the sleeves as a design detail and I opted for snaps closure instead of buttons. .

Mitchell’s first outfit for 2025 🎉💚🩵 He picked this fabric out last year and asked for a set but of course I was busy making myself stuff that I had it in the corner being neglected. The start of this year is all about finishing already cut up projects though so that I can focus on new ones and create some space in the cupboard. I am also in the process of making myself a little something out of the leftover material. Soon to be 2 precut projects complete leaving 10 left which I think is a good effort for the start of January. P.s I have also made the dogs cute little scarves so they can match us too.

This fabric is just so cute how could I say no?

One done! Slooooowly making my way through Viva sewing, with about three different projects going on at once. It took me forever to pick out buttons, and this sat unfinished for weeks. But it’s done now and it’s so nice to have one thing accomplished! I love making the matchy matchy outfits best! Both fabrics are vintage barkcloth I picked up from local antique stores. My top is a pattern from @bexthefemme who is amazing and has graded some beautiful vintage patterns to fit larger busts-literally a sewing life saver 🥰 and the men’s shirt is my trusty @simplicity_creative_group #s8180 that I use for everything for the guys. I also made a matching hair flower to complete the look! Now on to the next project…or three…

Another year, another set of matching Easter outfits. Son: #s8180 by @simplicity_creative_group, size L. Regularly size 8. I had to adjust the button placket a little to account for the collar spacing. No other mods. Daughter: #llkquincy by @littlelizardking, size 10. Regularly size 10/12. This fits well, though a size 12 would’ve been fine. Bottom tier is lengthened a few inches to her preferred length. Husband: #s8753 by @simplicity_creative_group, size 40, view C. Sleeve seam taken up 1.25” at shoulder seam, graded to nothing at pit. Removed excess fabric at sleeve from front and back bodice pieces but should’ve only done it from the front. Sleeve shortened to his preference. Next time I will add width to the sleeve cap so I can do an ease gather to help point the sleeve down. Will share details of my #validress on the next post. //Fabric: I used 12 yards of this @robertkaufman cotton lawn for all four pieces. 9yds came from @madewithharmony, but my daughter’s dress used close to 5 yards, perhaps more. And I knew there would not be enough left over for the other three pieces. I panic searched the internet to find more since Harmony was now out of stock, and fortunately found more yardage at @fabric_and_frolic. Another bonus is I received this fabric so quickly, really helping to relieve my stress of finishing in time. #madewithharmony #sewing #thanksimadeit #sewist #sewsewsew #memade #memadewardrobe #llkpatterns #littlelizardking #simplicitypatterns

I’m just happy how these two pieces came out! They are honestly priceless to me because the amount of love that are in them. Max was so excited to wear his shirt he literally couldn’t stop running around in it!! Details: The bodice of my dress is Bow Strap Circle Dress by @celineborthayre and this pattern is sooo good. I made the size 6 in her extended bust and I was amazed by the fitting. It’s fits just right for me and doesn’t squeeze my chest which happens sometimes. The original pattern calls for boning as well to give more support. But I used a very structured fabric for my lining which held the dress up really well. I also didn’t go as accurate as the inspiration picture, because I kind of ran out of fabric because I decided to make the dress to a midi length which I know I will wear a lot more. For the skirt is I used the Capulet skirt pattern pieces and extended them by 15 inches. Max’s shirt was @simplicity_creative_group #s8180 in the smallest size. It fit him just right now and he looks so handsome in it!! Overall I’m so happy how this dress and shirt came out. I’m so excited to wear them out together with Max!! #sewing #diyfashion #handmadeclothing #diysewing #sewistsofinstagram #sewsewsew #handmadefashion #memade #handmadedress

My boys birthday shirts 🥰 I can't take credit entirely for making these as I had a very clever helper. He cut out the pockets and sewed the spider man one on, (we pattern matched - woo) he sewed the hems and made the buttonholes. Definitely a team effort. The messy pocket with the no6 was all me 🫢 I think it's cute and there's nothing wrong with something homemade- looking homemade. I tried to use my machine to free motion embroider it but it was too hard, so I went with a regular old zig zag stitch on some interfaced fabric, cut it out and sewed it onto the pocket. He picked his own fabric and buttons, he did a smashing job as they go together so well 👏 Fabric and buttons @hobbycrafthq Pattern #s8180 mens and boys @simplicitymccallsuk The only thing I changed is the top button had a loop closure. I just sewed the button on 🤷🏻‍♀️ don't think it makes too much of a difference #sewistsofinstagram #sewityourself #sewing #imadethis #memadeeveryday #hobbycraft #fabric #simplicity #shirtpattern

Matchy-matchy! Well we tried to go to Golden Tiki but really just ended up with this picture 😂 An opportunity to wear the outfits I made for us! I used vintage barkcloth and my top is another @bexthefemme pattern, while the mister has on my trusty @simplicity_creative_group #s8180 🍹We ended up back at the Orleans and made some new friends too! Now off to bed to be ready for another day of fun. Goodnight! *Hair flower: made by me/ purse: great-grandma’s collection

Finished a shirt for my brother. It is #s8180 from @simplicity_creative_group. The fabric is from @spoonflower

#memademay2024 • Day 23 Had lunch out at #northsidesocial ~ and Brad was in full Vivmom clothes so he had to be featured today😃 His shorts are #kwiksew4045 in a heavier striped cotton with 3% elastane, and his #linen shirt is simplicity8180 👕 I am wearing my old favorite #jamesperse pants with #simplicity9334 ~ in a nonstretch crepe-de-chine(ish) fabric. The shoulders have elastic, and even though I didn’t love sewing the top, I reach for it often. It’s one of those!😆 #memademay #s9334 #kwiksewpatterns #s8180

First tick on my #make9 grid! A shirt for my little trainspotter The pattern is simplicity #s8180 boys medium. I made one modification to add the back facing because I didn’t like the collar construction in the pattern instructions. I added poppers instead of buttons because he #hatesbuttons The fabric was found in a charity shop and gifted to me by the lovely @lourichardsartist and family. It had been home sewn into a quilt and pillow cover - so I still have plenty left 😃🚂 He loves it 😁 2024:6

Let’s see if this “3 hour make” really is 3 hours. . . #s8180 #simplicitypatterns #simplicity8180 #3hourmake

Making matching family outfits for Easter is a labor of love and will not happen any other time of year. I bought this fabric in January thinking I’d get these done far in advance so that I wouldn’t be up till midnight the night before Easter finishing them. And I wasn’t up till midnight! I was up much later. Whoops. Worth it? Yep. Will I do it again next year? You can bet your bottom Easter egg I will. Deets in comments since I wrote too much. #patinablouse #fridaypatterncompany #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe

It’s possible I love shirtmaking even more than dressmaking. Look at that pattern matching on the pocket 💦

Yay for matching outfits! Only one of them threw a fit beforehand and could only be bribed with Kinder eggs. Can you guess which one? Finished their candy corn matching outfits early enough so they could actually wear them this month, so I accomplished something 🎃 yay!

A summer shirt for the vehicle lover! Size M. #simplicitypatterns #simplicity8180 #s8180 Fabric is a race car cotton panel set from @caboodletextiles #caboodletextiles 🏎️

Finished a couple of button ups for the boys. I think it’s safe to say that Theo is the biggest fan of the new shirts. He is so cute! #simplicity8180 #sewingforkids #buttonupshirt #s8180

Third year of matching Easter outfits. It gets harder each year as my kids have more opinions on what they will actually wear. //Fabric: @robertkaufman cotton lawn from @madewithharmony. Every year I get a little bit more to accommodate growing kids, so I got 8 yards this year. I only have a few scraps left (last picture). //Patterns: Husband: #s8753 by @simplicity_creative_group, size 38, view C. I used his body measurements and also measured a shirt with a fit he likes to confirm with the finished garment measurements. This is my first time with this pattern and I just went straight to the good fabric without making a toile. And, fortunately, the fit it pretty good. I brought up the shoulders 1/4”. I may grade up a size in the chest next time as there’s some pulling in the back. I also made it short sleeves to his preference. They flare out some, which isn’t great, but I’m not sure if that’s from the fabric or if I need to take in the sleeve width next time. Honestly, this shirt is in my top 3 things I’m most proud of making. The pattern has a fancy collar that includes collar stays. I appreciate all the views and the slim fit is great. Daughter: #m7799 by @mccallpatterncompany, size 10, view C. She picked out the pattern and view. She’s a size 10 in RTW clothes and this fits her well. Son: #s8180 #r11169 by Simplicity, size boy’s M. I’ve made this pattern for my son many times and it’s a great, basic button up pattern for him. No frills. There are no mods, though I could’ve shortened the sleeves. I figured he’d just grow into it better as the size smalls that I’ve made are snug on him now. Me: Mashup with #mwraida sleeves, #PoppyBowDress bodice, and #mwzamora skirt. I’ll post with more details tomorrow. #madewithharmony #thanksimadeit #memadeeveryday #sewsewsew #sewistsofinstagram #matchingfamilyoutfits
