Absolutely loving this silhouette 🥰 This is my second and third version of Butterick’s #b6551 from @simplicity_creative_group and I initially didn’t have high hopes. It’s usually the so called “easy” patterns that always trip me up but, with this pattern, I was pleasantly surprised 🤷🏻♀️ I used a soft and flowy, blue/green background, rayon challis from @fabricmart and the colors are even prettier in person. I also used this super cute red (with orange undertones) flower crepe fabric, also from @fabricmart, that I’ve had in my stash for forever. After completing it, I soon realized that crepe doesn’t have as much “give” as my rayon fabric. Next time, it’s probably a good idea to make the seam allowances 3/8th of an inch instead of the 5/8th it calls for. Mods: 1) Deepened the v neck by an inch 2) raised the side slit by 5 inches 3) size goes from large near bust to xl in the hips That’s it! An easy make that I can finish in a little over two hours. I have just one more on the table that I’ll make without the collar 👍🏼 Stay tuned 😜 #sew #sewing #memade #memade2024 #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #sewist #sewingismytherapy #sewingismysuperpower #sewover50 #summersewing #mysewingjourney2024 #memadewardrobe #memadefashion #simplicitypatterns #butterickpatterns

This garment was actually a muslin that turned out well enough to wear.

OMG 😱 I didn’t even realize I’d made so many of these 😜 So in November last year I pulled out this pattern #b6551 that didn’t strike me as anything special but I loved the a-line kaftan look of it and thought it would be nice to have one or two pieces…little did I know it would be more like a dozen!! It’s a gorgeous bunch though and I’m loving my choices. Loved that I could make dressier pieces or more casual pieces for any day wear. Special shout out to @lafinchfabrics_new for offering such incredibly lovely fabric that I jumped on. The retro looking black/white and the funky pink/green floral short dresses are linen blends from #lafinchfabrics and I can’t wait for more like it. Btw - Josie is the super hard working, one-woman show that runs it and I love telling her how proud I am that she is doing her thing and providing me with great options ❤️ All my other dresses are products of fabrics purchased from @fabricmart and I love that their prices are reasonable for this fabric horder lol their rayons and crepe de chines are my favorites 🥰 Just amazed at how far I’ve come and how great it feels to be able to learn something new everyday. 🥰🥰🥰 Enjoy your weekend familia ❤️ #sew #sewing #memade #memade2025 #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #sewist #sewingismytherapy #sewingismysuperpower #sewover50 #summersewing #mysewingjourney2025 #memadewardrobe #memadefashion #simplicitypatterns #butterickpatterns

On my way out to the park with the kiddo. It was supposed to be really warm today so I put on this terribly-sewn, but reliable #b6551 dress. Then it clouded over, so I added my @stylearc #stevie jacket and boots. I like this Portrait mode, but it does affect the colours a bit. My boots are light pink. Hmm, I will footer about with it a bit more. Anyway: Me-Made Day 5! #memademay2021 #mmmay2021 #memademay

Day 9 in a Butterick dress from @pacificfabrics rayon challis. My sewing is not the finest on this dress but it's super duper comfy. It's one that I didn't care for too much, but so many people commented on it. I came round to it after a while although the wearing of it was always nice. Sometimes it takes a while to get used to yourself in different silhouettes. Edit: I should probably mention it's #b6551 :)

Sew N Slay# 8: My First 👗 and a photoshoot! #B6551 is an extremely Loose-fitting Dress,Nehru Collar, with Ankara Print embellishment on the yoke! This dress required me to learn dart placement, using biased tape, and creating a narrow hem. Now I'm ready for my next project. FYI: That's the Wonder Woman Wrap I made October 2017. Coincidence... I don't think so… it's called timing! . . . . #diyclothes #diystyle #isew #memade #s #diywardrobe #sewing #moremell #fabric #fallvibes #fallfashion #itstartswithastitch #sewist #sewyou #sewfun #sewcialist #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #shawl #wonderwomanwrap #hedgehogfibre #fingering #handmade #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #moremell #knit #CarissaBrowning

So… I have reluctantly moved on from my recent boho dress obsession 😩 😜 I made version B of the Butterick #b6551 from @simplicity_creative_group and it looked like a super cute pattern 🤞🏼I’ve noticed that the mandarin collar is a recurring theme in my me-made choices. I love it more than the usual button down collars. I decided to grade the sizes from large (to accommodate my bust) to xl (to fit those hips!) It worked out better than I expected 🤗🤗 Since this was a practice piece, I decided to leave out the interfacing in the collar. And it looks absolutely awful lol!! It also left it a little floppy…I think it’s still wearable though 👍🏼 I’m also going to make sure I take about an inch out of the collar for next time cause it’s way too tall. The fabric is a super thin rayon challis from @fabricmart that will be perfect for the really warm Spring 🌺 in Florida Next version will be similar to this but in a crepe fabric that is slightly heavier and more stable. I’m hoping it’ll give the same kind of swish and comfort but more substantial.

As the #SewColourBlocking #SewColorBlocking challenge month nears its end the parade of creativity continues unabated. Selecting the Top Ten from all the inspiring entries is a huge challenge - there have been as many takes on the challenge as makers. For our final week's round up, here are a few which caught our attention this week - fabric of the week is definitely linen! Pic 1 - Chuleenan @csews very cleverly teamed a lavender which was not her colour with a royal blue to give it some zing in her @seamwork #seamworkbo Pic 2 - Sarah @makingclotheswithstories spent a fair bit of time changing thread colours for her @patternfantastique #phenshirt ! Pic 3 - Linda @ellegeemakes is one of many makers dealing with heat waves in breezy linen, this is the #collagegathertop by @matchymatchysewingclub Pic 4 - Kate @timetosew put her blue and white linen scraps from prior makes to beautiful use in this dress using a pattern from @atelier_to_naniiro_textile studio book. Pic 5 - Ro @rocansew giving gentle flapper vibes in a beautiful dress made by extending the #agustinaboxytop from @fabricsstorecom and adding beads, extra stitching and scrap fabric fringe. Pic 6 - Frances @francesfabrications re-shared an older make, this fabulous hacked #b6551 Pic 7 - Sue @susanyoungsewing in the first of two @grainlinestudio #farrowdress this week, made to suit the sizes of linen remnants that she had. Pic 8 - Justine @tootalltosew has given us the grand reveal of her epically hacked linen #v9021 After watching in fascination as it progressed it was fantastic to see the fabulous end result! Pic 9 - Lis @listaylorsthreads in the second linen #farrowdress of the week showing that colour blocking doesn't have to be bright to be beautiful. Pic 10 - Judith @judithrosalind won the heart of Challenge Manager @judywillimentross with her Waters of Leith linen #lbpullover Judy's city looked to Judith's when they were naming things and have this river in common. #SewOver50 #SO50Visible #SewOverAgeism #SewingChallenge #SewingCommunity #WearWhatYouLove #SewingLeftovers #SO50sustainablesewing #pocwhosews #AsiansWhoSew #bipocsewcialists JW 🌹 SD 🌺 SR🐝

Sneak peek 🫣 Yes, I have made several versions of this a-line shift dress in maxi lengths and mini…but this fabric was just begging to be made in this silhouette! I needed something to show off the gorgeous poplin fabric and its adorable floral print. Although it’s not a fabric I really love (it’s very “crisp” and somewhat stiff) the colors are really vibrant and the dress itself doesn’t have a lot of movement, I had to try it. Hope to finish it by the weekend 👍🏼👍🏼 Pattern: #b6551 from @simplicity_creative_group Fabric: cotton poplin from @fabricmart #sew #sewing #memade #memade2025 #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #sewist #sewingismytherapy #sewingismysuperpower #sewover50 #summersewing #mysewingjourney2025 #memadewardrobe #memadefashion #simplicitypatterns #butterickpatterns

Just home from a lovely evening of crafting friend fun and sporting one of my oldest projects. The Butterick #B6551 was a bit of a fail when I made it, for various reasons, but I've ended up wearing it tons, so it just goes to show you never can tell. It really is falling apart a bit now, but it's still comfy and perfect for the HOT weather we're having. Yes sirree, I said HAWT! (I did start off with the #seamworkoslo over it though). @seamwork #mmmay2023 #memademay

Last make of the year. TNT #B6551 in stash-busting gorgeous @tessutifabrics linen from a while ago. Mods: Scaled down to a small because when they say “loose fitting“, it sure is. Widened the shoulders at the yoke by 5cm and added 10cm to the length of view B. #tessuti #tessutifabrics #Butterickpatterns #butterick6551 #sewover50 #sewover50dresses

A lot of blue for #memademay2020 Days 5-8, which is not surprising since I make a lot of blue things! The weather was good these days, so I got out into the garden a fair bit, which definitely helps the old mood. Notes 1. Modified Liesl + Co. Hollywood trousers and a Melilot shirt. I took a pic in the deepest corner of the garden because the light fabric colours were glaring big time. It looks rather lovely here, but in reality is an overgrown weed pit. The trousers were made at peak fitness 2 years ago and are still a little tight. I'll maybe take them out slightly at the tummy. 2. The Zadie jumpsuit. I've been seeing tons of these and rightly so - it's so comfy. This is a Nani Iro gauze which is so beautiful, but a bear to iron. 3. Butterick dress. It was a bit of a fail pattern-wise, but the fabric is cool and it's a perfect warm weather dress, so I wear it often. 4. Modified Everyday skirt by Liesl + Co. and the Ostara tee by Jennifer Lauren. Love the shape of the Ostara tee and this just reminds me I need to make more. The full-length skirt is perfect for lazy days and rayon is cool to wear. I wear it often and a couple more full-length skirts would serve me well.

My closet of summer dresses is slowly filling up again. This is #b6551 but I added pockets because every dress needs pockets! The fabric is a super soft cotton from @gorgeousfabrics. Such a dream to sew with high quality fabrics. It is even more dreamy to wear in the steamy heat this week.

So it’s Friday, Beyoncé just dropped her album, and I made this dress in a day from both my fabric and pattern stash! What’s not to celebrate? The pattern is decent but once I measured the pattern pieces, I felt the finished measurements were a tad off. It’s supposed to be a “ very loose” fitting dress but I would argue it’s more semi. I made a L/XL but for my next one I’m going to go ahead and do L at the neckline and collar only. I had to overcast the armholes because if I had followed the pattern finishing, it would have been a tad deeper than I wanted. A few tweaks in the back piece might be needed as well. So I’m thinking sizing up might allow for that. I wore this dress to dinner last night and it was both comfortable and chic 🧿 Pattern: #b6551 Fabric: @alexanderhenryfabrics #youwontbreakmysoul #imadethis #imakemyownclothes #bipocmaker #sewcialists #stills #pocwhosews #asiansewists #sewfloconnect #genxsewing #sewover50 #sewsewsew #sewersgonnasew #sewersofinstagram #sewing #fridayvibes #summersewing #sewing #instasew #sewyourstash #memadeeveryday #memade #pose #sewinglove
