Kicking off the Christmas period dressed like the fairy from the top of the tree! 🧚 I think I’ve got the hang of bodice alterations, I managed to combine a small bust and narrow shoulder adjustment and I’m pleased with the fit. The fabric doesn’t press well but it was only £2.50 a metre from @poundfabrics so overall I’m pleased with how it’s come out. I really liked the simplicity pattern 8292, especially as it includes plain sleeves as well as these lovely circular ones, but for some reason I just couldn’t get the back darts and seams to line up. Never mind though, I couldn’t see that once it was on (along with the patch I managed to scorch through the tea towel I was pressing with 😂) #simplicitypatterns #s8292 #ukteacherswhosew

Another me-made - the one that nearly got binned!!

Managed to finish dress today, I’m undecided about it 🤔, I like it, the style is nice, not over the moon with fabric but it was an experiment to try out pattern on fabric from stash! If I make it again I’d go with a plain fabric, I’d also make it a teeny-weeny bit bigger on body - I don’t think I’d be able to eat a meal with this one on!! 🤣#simplicity8292 #stitchersofinstagram #stitchersgonnastitch #sewerofinstagram #sewergonnasew #isew #isewpetite #isewpetiteclothes #isewpetiteforme #instasew #instasewing #instasewers #instasewist #sewingproject #sewingcommunity #sewingaddict #sewingismypassion #handmade #handmadeclothing #sewovet50 #s8292

I got my supplies for this season's wedding-guest dress! I've been so excited about this combination since I saw the beautiful bottle green version by @sodburysewing last summer! I'm usually a just-wing-it kind of sewist, but I'm gonna take this project nice and slow. I'm gonna trace the pattern, make a toile (maybe even two!) and really take my time to finish it well. ·⁠ Pattern:@simplicitycreativegroup #s8292⁠⠀ Fabric: Prada Satin Back Crepe purchased from @minervadotcom⁠ · · · ID: Simplicity pattern atop flowy, blue textured crepe fabric. ·⁠⠀ #WeddingGuestDress #TakingMyTime #SewingPlans #Maker #IMakeMyOwnClothers #MakersGonnaMake #MakersGonnaPlan #MakersGonnaShare #Sewist #SewistsOfInstagram #CurvySewing #BriBuildsAWardrobe

#ontheblog #linkinbio👆a very sensible version of @simplicitymccallsuk @simplicity_creative_group #s8292 swipe to see the first version I made a couple of years ago. This time I wanted a comfortable, well fitting and easy to wash and wear dress to wear for smart work situations. I suspect I will get lots of mileage out of this dress! #sewmanju #sewingblogger #sewing #imadethis #simplicity8292 #simplicitybyme #littleblackdress #officeoutfit #workoutfit #isew #maker #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #handmadewardrobe #imakemyownclothes #diyfashion #fortyplusstyle #cscmakes #sewingaddict #janomemakes fabric from @fabric_and_threads

Lizzie McGuire, you are an outfit repeater! Happy to have re-worn my @simplicity_creative_group #s8292 sheath dress with glittery topper (it's just a rectangle! As I told everyone who complimented me on it 😅) which I made last year to @atlantafrocktails And a huge thank you to @fabricdotcom for giving me a ticket!! (And to Laura from FDC for taking this photo). Part of my goal of creating a more couture wardrobe is to make pieces I'm happy to wear again and again so this dress does not disappoint✔️ Glasses are @franciskleinparis and are just the right amount of fabulous I needed to match this dress! #isewmyownclothes #reducereuserecycle #diyfashion #slowsewing #slowfashion #ethicalfashion #couturesewingtechniques #lovetosew #frocktails #atlantafrocktails #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #millennialsewing #msmakes #ncsews

@sew_many_bobbins posted “This was made during my “mother-of-bride” sewing fiasco!! 😫 I was trying every pattern, hacking patterns - basically in panic mode!!

So I made this dress last year #simplicity8292 and I’ve never had the occasion to wear it, going away next week & need some fancy frocks to wear - I’m undecided about this, it’s not my usual style - & it’s got a back zip which I struggle with!!😩#sewersgonnasew #sewersofinstagram #stitchersofinstagram #stitchersgonnastitch #sewsewsew #sewingpetite #sewingpetiteclothes #sewpetite #sewpetiteforme #petitesewing #petitesewers #petitesewist #petitesewistsofinstsgram #handmade #s8292

Going to try this one out - petite size - still trying to decide on a dress style for September wedding - using up fabric remnants trying out patterns is a good excuse to run down stash & buy more!!😉. #stitchersofinstagram #stitchersgonnastitch #sewistofinstagram #sewistgonnasew #sewersgonnasew #sewersgonnasew #sewpetite #sewpetitestyle #sewpetiteclothes #sewpetiteforme #isew #isewpetite #isewpetiteclothes #isewpetiteforme #instasew #instasewing #instasewers #instasewist #handmade #lovesewing #lovetosew #s8292

Almost one week until @atlantafrocktails but I'm not feeling the stress of finishing my dress, because I'm going to be wearing one I already made! Part of my goal of learning couture sewing is to make long lasting pieces for my wardrobe so I'm excited to wear one of the first pieces I put couture techniques into again. Plus the glittery overlay is perfect for dancing- when I'm wearing it, I can't stop from flapping my arms like wings 😂 Dress is @simplicity_creative_group #s8292 made from @emmaonesock matte crepe and the overlay is simply two rectangles of fabric from @fabricgodmother #isewmyownclothes #reducereuserecycle #outfitrepeater #slowsewing #slowfashion #diyfashion #lovetosew #couturesewingtechniques #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewersofinstagram #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #millennialsewing #msmakes #ncsews

Day 6 #MeMadeMay. Midi Length ✔️ Bold Yellow Color ✔️ Fun Sleeves ✔️ Sheath Style ✔️ This dress has everything I like in a dress, I guess that’s the beauty of making your own garments. You can make it however way you want it 😉 Fabric: Stretch Crepe from @fashion_fabrics_club Pattern: @simplicity_creative_group #s8292 #raliatoyinlola #rallyssewing #rallysdiys #memademay2019 #isew #sewistsofinstagram #sewersofinstagram #psimadethis #springsewing #sewingblogger #diy #diysewing #diyblogger #diyfashion #lookbook #wiw #styleblogger #bloggerstyle #whatiwore #photooftheday

Another wearable toile although when I remake it there will be some slight adjustments- I’m thinking princess seams and longer flutter sleeves like the Ro&Zo version / my remake will not be in plain fabric the green fabric was leftover fabric in my stash. The pattern is #m8119 & #s8292 - its another contender for the MOB outfit - need fabulous fabrics 🥰 #sewingjumpsuits #sewingproject #sewingpetiteclothes #sewingpetiteforme #petitesewistsofinstagram #petitesewers #simplicity8292 #mccallspatterns #simplicitypatterns# sewover50 #sewover60 #sewjumpsuites

Planning my #makenine2022 around patterns I already own and fabrics already in my stash! I had a little project planning paralysis so this was a good exercise and I'm really excited now. 1. Dress with sleeves based on #s8292 with basic bodice and #charmcircleskirt made out of @ikea duvet cover I got in the as is section. 2. Jeans from some @joann_stores denim, thinking about using #s8516 but may hold out until @helens__closet releases their new jeans pattern. 👀 3. Dress that is a hacked version of #m7920 with set in sleeves using @dearstellafab leaf print cotton. 4. Black shorts hacked from #m7626 and made with a cotton twill from @fabricdotcom 5. A cotton petticoat with #s8456 to wear with all my dresses and skirts! 6. @joann_stores Rainbow cotton gauze #winslowculottes inspired by the pair @ayellowkitchen made. 7. #m7952 but with a zipper in the back instead of buttons to make it more comfortable. Gonna use this adorable tablecloth I got on eBay because I was inspired by the Luana apron dress @less.thansimple made with it and tracked it down immediately. 8. #b6390 in the same denim as the jeans. Will be perfect for layering with dresses as it is a cropped style jacket. 9. A dress based on #s9294 / #b6556 but with a different neckline for my incredible @dearstellafab Sew Mischievous fabric. Here's to 2022!

This dress was made using #simplicity8292. I like the princess seams with the beautiful fluttered sleeves. . . . . @simplicitynewlook #s8292 #simplicitypatterns #sewist #sewingdiy #seamstress #seamstresslife #sewingday #sew4thesoul #sewinginspiration #sewforyourself #thoughtfulfashion #handmadedress #sewfrosting #sewersgonnasew #sustainablefashion #classicdress #sewcialists #minervacrafts #makersgonnamake

Finally getting to post my dress for @dublinfrocktails which was last Friday. What a great night! - it was excellently organised and so much fun! Thanks again to the organising team. This dress took me a long time and many toiles to make. Thank goodness for YouTube and the folks at the @dublinsewingmeetup ! It tested my patience along the way but I learned loads, the fit is ok (now) and it is very comfortable to wear. For those interested I've posted below the fabric, pattern and modification details. Thanks again to @dublinfrocktails for a wonderful night and to @victoriasecretdublin for being a fantastic hostess!

So I’ve only got the hem to stitch still got pins in ( which have stabbed my legs 😡), the sleeves seem to have a life of their own, sudden gust of wind and I’ll be flapping away!!🦅 But there’s nothing I can do about it now - I’ve done enough!! I think I like it 🤷‍♀️ the fabric is so busy it’s a love / hate thing!!!😂 And it’s a petite fit too👏👏👏#s8282 #stitchersofinstagram #stitchersgonnastitch #sewersofinstagram #sewersgonnasew #sewistsofinstagram #sewistgonnasew #sewover50 #sewingproject #sewingcommunity #sewingpetite #sewingpetiteclothes #sewingpetitewardrobe #isew #isewpetite #isewpetiteclothes #isewpetiteforme #instasewing #instasew #instasewers #instasewist #handmade #imakemyclothes #imakemyownclothes #simplicity8292 #sewover60 #sewover60style #s8292

New dress made this week, ready for the start of summer again #s8292

Today make. Just need the warmer weather to wear it. Pattern #S8292 fabric #oakmountmill

#fbf One of my favorite patterns Simplicity 8292. I made this 2 year's ago for my youngest son confirmation. #S8292 #whitedress #imakemyownclothes #feelingclassy #simplicity8292

Floral season is in full bloom, and I’m kicking off my #BloomCollection with this dreamy two-piece set! 🌸✨ Top: @mimigstyle for @simplicity_creative_group #S8292 with some mods (shortened bodice, continuous sleeve, lined front & back). Skirt: Self-drafted A-line with a gathered waist & flat-front elastic back. Fabric: Satin floral masterpiece from @tainilu TAINILU Industries (sadly, no longer on Etsy). I’ve already worn this twice since making it in January, thank you Houston for that good weather during my besties grad party —safe to say it’s a wardrobe staple!
