🪻Spring is in full bloom and so is my Color Purple Sewing Series!!! 🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻 This beauty serves as the very first make of my new collection inspired by the 2023 The Color Purple movie. Each garment I chose to make embodies a character in the movie and this make is inspired from the character of “Young Celie” . I found this beautiful purple paisley print fabric from Fine Fabrics and match it with McCalls 8318, a pattern that I could not wait to use since I bought it last year. It was quite an easy make; however, be prepared to be tired after dealing with the gathered tier of this dress. Also, believe the finished measurements of this pattern because I made this 1-2 sizes bigger than I should have. 🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻 Run don’t walk over to my YouTube channel to get all the deets about this make, my inspiration, what went well and wrong 😂 Every week, I will posting a brand new video over there revealing the next make in this collection. YT Link in the bio 🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻 For the skimmers: Pattern: McCalls #m8318 Fabric: @finefabrics_usa Modifications: Omitted buttons in back of dress Will add interfacing to the pockets next time Happy Sewing 🪻!!!! #memadewardrobe #isew #sallieandsamstyle #sewing #yesimadeit #sandsallthingspurple #wherethreadscometrue #vintagesewing #ilovesewing #sewistofcolor #memade #fabric #isewmyownclothes #springsewing #memadewardrobe #slowfashion #sewistofcolor #sewingblogger #sewsewsew #sewhappy #vintagemakes #springstyle #sewersofinstagram #blacksewersofinstagram #thrift #sewingpatterns #purple

I've written up a blog post about what I made, enjoyed and generally got up to during 2023. See the blog for the full ramble, but a few highlights: 1) Visiting Marrakesh in November to celebrate my 40th birthday 🎂 (wearing @closetcorepatterns #PietraPants & a @sonnydraws tee). 2) Making a second #V9253 / #V1735 (& matching headband with my fabric scraps) to wear to my cousin's wedding. 3) Having a good sort of my repairs/UFOs baskets and finding this #V1558 dress waiting for a few final seams to be sewn, just in time to wear it on a weekend break in Paris. 4) Falling in love with Our Flag Means Death and making a @dpstudio_fashion #le203 bomber jacket in the same fabric used by the costume design team, which I have worn constantly since. 5) Visiting Japan to belatedly celebrate Phil's 40th birthday, which fell during the peak of covid/lockdown (wearing a top which will be my next pattern release). 6) Weaving regularly this year (I completed a bath mat, and three scarves to give as gifts) thanks to joining a regular class, plus attending a week-long summer school in weaving double cloth during August. 7) Completing this #M8318 vintage Laura Ashley set which I started on my 39th birthday in time to wear it for my 40th. I have some really fun projects in progress to start 2024 including woven shoelaces, patchwork shorts, a new coat for Phil plus the moomin jumper I've been knitting off and on forever, and the first holiday is booked, travelling to New York by liner 🚢

31 days of handmade Halloween day 7! So happy with how this one turned out! I bought this fabric from @moodfabrics over two years ago and I just never wanted to make anything with it. I decided it was because the fabric was white, and I don't really do well with white. I'm too careless and clumsy. As soon as I dyed it orange, i couldn't wait to work with it! I made the #m8318, which is a vintage reproduction. It came out way too big, so there are pleats under each arm and way the back. It worked out well though! . . . . . . . . . #halloweensewing #handmadehalloween #sewingmyclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #halloween #sewist #ritdye

Det har været lidt stille herinde 😊 Jeg glæder mig til at vise jer, hvad jeg har haft gang i. Jeg har mest bare øvet mig, på både mine egne mønstre og Laura Ashley mønstre jeg fik til jul. Som den her yndige hverdags “apron”🥹💓 Jeg har brugt en Laura Ashley mønster som hedder M8318. Super fin med langærmet trøje nedunder om vinteren, og uden om sommeren. Hvad jeg elsker mest ved den, er at den har kæmpe lommer, idealt til småbørns mødre 😝 Jeg har syet den i vintage blockprint dug 💖 #LauraAshley #70sLauraAshley #HomemadeLauraAshley #M8318 #sy #syning #genbrug #recycling #upcycling #genbrugsfund #genbrugsstof #genbrugerguld #vintagestof #hjemmesyet #vintagefund #krea

I just retired never shared this version of the @mccallpatterncompany 8318 dress! In this version I used fabric from @crimsontate @heathergivans and treated it a scrap buster project. I know you’re seeing a lot of this pattern but it’s so comfy! #m8318 #mccallspatterns #sewing #sewist #sewistofig #sewingproject #sewistofinstagram #sewistsgonnasew #sew #houstonsewist #crimsontate #memade #heathergivans

I made thisssss!!! 😆❤️ Out of an old bedsheet from @goodwillintl using McCall’s pattern #m8318 — this my fourth make since reconnecting with sewing but I learned a ton of new skills like top stitching and gathering. I also hacked this pattern to make it into a top instead of a dress! I made a commitment that I wouldn’t buy any new clothes this year — which had a bumpy start — what I didn’t expect was how much joy and creative zip sewing has given me. Everything is a source of inspiration now, where before it was a ‘want’ and trigger for more and my wardrobe not being right or my body not being right etc etc … and honestly, I feel like a changed human being. I’m sure there will be more bumps and challenges, but these are ones I’m asking for, vs what our consumer/perfectionist culture is giving me without my permission. And plus did I mention the JOY…I feel bad for my sweet family and friends that are prob already sick of hearing about my lil sewing journey #madebyme #sewists #sewnbyme #sewistsofinstagram #memade #imadethis #patternhacking #mccalls8318 #sewing #sewersgonnasew #instasewing #lovetosew #lovesewing

I finished this pinafore style dress a couple of weeks ago and love the versatility of the style.

Voilà bien deux mois que cette robe est cousue et qu'elle a déjà été bien portée pendant mes vacances. C'est une réédition d'un patron Laura Ashley de 1983 (ou 1982, je ne sais plus). Elle est top pour aller à la plage ! D'ailleurs il reste encore un peu de sable au fond des poches même après un passage au lave-linge !

Another sewing project done. 🌼 I used a vintage Laura Ashley pattern from the 80s. When I showed my mom, she said, “I made that dress in denim when I was pregnant with your brother.” 🩵 More photos may be necessary because my fav part of the dress is the bottom ruffle and of course you can’t see it. 🧡🩵 This dress is breezy and comfy, perfect for summer. #vintagemccalls #m8318 #kodakportra400 #kodakfilm #35mmphotography #madewithkodak

Showcasing the pinafore in all her glory! Really love this pattern, and I have plans to make several more because of how versatile it is!

On my birthday, last November, I started making the blouse and top from @simplicitymccallsuk M8318, which is a reprinted 1980s Laura Ashley pattern. I have no idea why it's taken me quite so long, but I recently finished sewing the set! This is the blouse, sewn in a @libertyfabrics cotton lawn (which was last year's birthday gift from my brother). You can't really see all of the details here, but the blouse has pintucks on the front, full sleeve caps, and ruffles around the collar and the sleeve hem. It was the first day of a trip to Paris today. We walked up the Eiffel Tower, visited two museums, and ate lunch in a park. I also walked into the first hairdresser I passed this afternoon and requested a fringe trim as we set off for our flight straight after work yesterday, and I forgot to give it a trim first ✂️ You can see the improvement between photos 4 (before) & 2+3 (after)! The hairdresser was an absolute star and it was the most dramatic fringe trim imaginable so top marks for entertainment as well as making me look less shaggy for the rest of the holiday. @mccallpatterncompany #m8318 #mccalls8318

I have been working on this pattern for ages. It started life as the #m8318 and it just didn’t work for me. The instructions were terrible (sort of expected from the big 4) but these do take the cake. I hated the big patch pockets (personal taste). I thought I’d love them but I really didn’t. Then I tried to salvage it with various bodices and I think I’m happy with this final result. Because of the panelling on the front of the skirt of the dress (for the patch pockets) it gathered in such a weird way that it made me look pregnant. I think it looks ok now. So I’ll take it as a #lossturnedintowins with this lovely fabric. I just really wanted to salvage it as I love the pattern on the fabric. Those hearts are just the cutest. Now bring on the summer! #isew #isewmyownclothes #diydress #diydressmaker #memade #memadewardrobe #sewingdresseslikecrazy

I’ve been sewing a whirlwind of costumes between Halloween, our Nutcracker ballet and even a tiny pilgrim costume for a Thanksgiving school feast. This is the first thing I’ve made for myself in a while and it was exciting to have a new me-made to wear today.

I never got around to sharing pictures of this blouse and dress from McCall’s #M8318, a reproduction vintage Laura Ashley pattern, worn together. I fell in love with the pattern artwork as soon as the reprint was announced, and ordered a copy of the pattern as soon as it was released in the UK. I made pattern Views B and D, which look really cute paired together on the pattern cover, in size 14. The blouse is sewn in a Liberty tana lawn, a birthday gift from my brother, which I choose with this blouse in mind. The blouse has ruffles around the collar and at the sleeve hems, pintucks on the blouse front, and full sleeve caps. For the dress, I chose the simpler view (without a ruffle at the hem) and used a fabric from my stash. The dress has some light gathers, absolutely enormous pockets, and a working (but unnecessary) button closure at the back. As we approach the end of the year I've been thinking about what I made this year (sewn, knit, woven), so expect a few catch up posts. When I look back there's always more projects than I realised, including, this year, two jackets, three dresses, and three weaving projects (possibly four if I get my skates 🛼 on). @simplicitymccallsuk @mccallpatterncompany #mccalls8318

This is the second part of 80s Laura Ashley set @simplicitymccallsuk #M8318, a pullover dress in some fabric from my stash, the origin of which is now forgotten. It has a button detail on the back yoke, gathers on the front and back, and very satisfying huge pockets. I emptied the pockets today and I'd unwittingly amassed a collection of tickets and receipts in there without realising. It's paired with a vintage blouse from a charity shop. The blouse is actually part of a set with a matching skirt; the skirt is too small for me so I'm planning to see if there's enough fabric to cut it up and make shorts (possibly quite short shorts, if required). This blouse is another thing which had been sat unnecessarily in my refashions basket for ages, but has recently moved into my wardrobe. We decided to visit the antique/flea markets in Saint-Ouen the day I was wearing this, and it felt very fitting to look at old things in a vintage top and dress from a vintage (reprint) pattern. Couldn't have planned it better. The pics were taken later in the day in Pere Lachaise cemetery 🪦 @mccallpatterncompany

Happy Christmas Eve. I finished my @mccallpatterncompany 8318 dress! It is the perfect travel dress pattern. It has large pockets for all my things and it was super comfortable to wear on the plan. I did have a ruffle for the bottom but I couldn’t get it added on in time so we’ll have to do that addition for next year. I used @freespiritfabrics Holly Jolly for this project. #m8318 #mccallspatterns #sewing #sewist #sewistofig #sewingproject #sewistofinstagram #sewistsgonnasew #sew #houstonsewist #freespiritfabrics #christmasoutfits #memade

💚💛White is nice…but what about CHARTREUSE?!💛💚 It’s my surprise neutral of the year. Dyeing this blouse took many twists and turns. I used @ritdye , and the first color (using Neon Green and Lemon Yellow) was great, but I thought it was a little cool. I added in some Rose Quartz to get some warmth and it went marigold. More Neon Green and Lemon Yellow and we got to this perfect color. In the previous dye baths, the lace, fabric, and thread all took the dye the same. But on the last round…magic! ✨ my pal @kindred.red , my best making buddy and dye guru, thinks the silk cotton was saturated with dye molecules and couldn’t take anymore, but the cotton thread and lace could. So I ended up with slightly more neon lace and buttonholes. And I love it. I love the extra definition of the lace. It really makes the pattern stand out! I love happy accidents like this. 💚 and I know this is going to slip into my wardrobe so well. It also shrank a bit. And I’m not sad about that! I know some of you are dying on the inside—“Jenna! Why didn’t you keep it white?!” 😜 but a shirt this lovely deserves to be worn! And now it will be. 🥰🥰 making your dream wardrobe is the best part of sewing. 🥰🥰 swipe for a sneaky peek of my new blazer and the ruffle cuff peek. . . .

Yesterday we went to Round Top, Tx for their Fall Antique Fair. Keeping with the spooky season I finished a new dress with scraps of Tim Holtz fabric (and some random candy corn fabric) It was perfect for looking through miles and miles of vintage things.
