First time using the #topdowncenterout fit method. I used it with #s8655. Could be better but pleased with the results. I cut the front and back pieces in different directions for the corduroy. But these will get worn and and another pair made.

Honey, prepare to be sick of me, because I am so proud of my latest sewing make! Finding pants with the perfect fit, style, and comfort has always been a challenge, but I think I’m on to something with Simplicity 8655. This is just the beginning of my jeans-making era, and I can’t wait to keep experimenting 🪡 🧵 Stay tuned! #S8655 #mimigstyle @mimigstyle #WeCeeStyle #jeansmaking #diydenim #handmadejeans #sewingjeans

Here’s everything I’ve made so far using the bolt of crepe fabric I picked up at @citysewingroom a few years ago. Swipe thru to see them individually and find the pattern details below. So, am I sick of this fabric yet? Surprisingly no, but I do think I have enough of it in my closet at this point, so I may donate the rest or use it to make something for my mom (even though she’s already laid claim to my Luna Dress 😂). 1. Luna Dress by @marythedressmaker 2. @simplicity_creative_group McCall’s 7472 (I used the crepe for the contrast collar and button placket) 3. Top is Simplicity 8655 by @mimigstyle , skirt is self drafted. 4. Self-drafted cami. I made double straps that crisscross at the shoulders and faux shirring with elastic at the back. 5. Simplicity 8138 (cropped and tucked in). . Which one is your fave? Let me know in the comments! 😁 . . . #learningsewmuch #makersgonnamake #sewingblogger #slowfashion #s8655 #m7472 #s8138 #sustainablefashion #sewistsofinstagram #costura #nähenmachtglücklich #slowfashionstyle #nähenmachtsüchtig #blkmakersmatter #stlouissews

Hey Beautiful People, Happy Monday! My last black coat and black jeans outfit is styled with a #memade white polo or turtleneck depending on where you're from. 😅 In South Africa we call a turtleneck a bottleneck. 😁 The top is a slightly modified Georgia turtleneck. The ruffles are originally placed on the shoulders and I placed them on the cuff. Swipe ➡️ to see without coat.

I've had this dragon mask for several years. This year, I decided to build a costume around it. Then the question was, "Dragon or a dragon rider?" Maybe a bit of both? I was leaning towards a Game of Thrones Daenerys look, and I knew I wanted pants. This tabard pattern I found on Etsy was perfect. The vinyl, another Etsy find, matched the mask perfectly and is so soft. It's a very easy sew, but check the length before you cut into your fabric. I had to shorten it at least four inches. I also added the buckle fasteners. The pants are @mimigstyle @simplicity_creative_group #s8655 made of a soft buttery faux leather I got from @califabrics. #dragoncon2024 #dragoncosplay

Long time no sew 🙃 Fabrics and patterns were chosen by my daughter. Sometimes it's easier just to agree with the teen's choice 😜 Trousers pattern @simplicitymccallsuk #s8655 second time using the same pattern and the same fabric. Tops #m8219 sizes were way off body measurements, but made it wearable 😁 Both patterns used twice ✔️ Fabric used up ✔️ #lastsewiststandingchallenge #madebymum #sewingforteens #mumsews #handmadewithlove❤️ #springfashion

Happy Release day to the The Thalia! — My girl Ruti has worked extremely hard on this pattern to make it the best it can be! I am so proud of her for not giving up and inspired to one day soon release patterns of my own. Congratulations babe! Can’t wait to see you all in this amazing pattern!

Who doesn’t love a two piece set? 😍 I’m OBSESSED with this one. I made the skirt awhile ago (it’s self-drafted), but I just had to pull out my TNT pattern @simplicity_creative_group 8655 by @mimigstyle to complete the look. I altered the ties slightly because I like them pointy instead of square on the ends, but otherwise I made no modifications and I’m beyooooond pleased with my new set! 💁🏽♀️ Fabric is a lightweight crepe that I purchased an entire bolt of from @citysewingroom. Later this week I’ll share everything that I’ve made with it so far. And I still have more left!! 🤗 . . . . . #learningsewmuch #makersgonnamake #sewingblogger #slowfashion #s8655 #simplicity8655 #sustainablefashion #sewistsofinstagram #costura #nähenmachtglücklich #slowfashionstyle #nähenmachtsüchtig #blkmakersmatter #stlouissews

Newest outfit. I wanted to make this #patternbygertie many years ago but I couldn’t figure out how to lengthen it. At the time I wasn’t into the high waisted pants and there’s no way I could wear shirts like this without the high waisted pants. I wasn’t sure if ever make it because adjusting this pattern is rather technical. When I saw these #mimigstyle jeans I knew I could finally make that shirt. These pants were so fun to make and easy to fit. I will be making a few more. Shirt: #butterickpatterns #b6285 by #patternsbygertie Pants: @simplicity_creative_group @mimigstyle #s8655

I was really humbled by the lovely handmade gift Gabriele @kissntuss brought me when we met a few weeks ago. It’s one of her beautifully crafted dresses, complete with some darling special labels inside. To make this dress she used the Klein Nr 2 pattern by @rosa_p_kreative. I love the way Gabriele emphasized the design lines of the triangle insets at the side seams by utilizing two coordinating fabrics with different triangle prints on them. Genius! And because it’s a dreamy, comfy, cotton jersey does that qualify this dress for secret pajamas?!? This understated design makes it really easy to style in different ways. I’ve always got my RTW denim jacket close by and it works perfectly over this dress with a silk scarf as a belt continuing the two-tone theme. If it’s cool outside, it easily can be worn with a turtleneck underneath. What a great transition piece. To really up the two-tone impact, what do you think of the bold pattern mixing by topping the dress with a black & white crane print wrap top made of pebbled crepe? I made it using the Mimi G pattern #s8655 adding length to the ties. I’m grateful to know she’s back home safely and I’m so thrilled we met in real life. #sewingfriendsarethebest #sewOver50August #sewOver50 #sewoverageism #so50dresses #simplicity8655 #iWearWhatIWant #ILookMyAge

🦎 My first mini wardrobe! 🐢This set comes from a few patterns that were certainly fast sews and easy to work with - very refreshing considering my last few makes were quite daunting. With one top, one shrug, one skirt, and a pair of pants, I’m excited to mix and match these pieces for endless styling options! I already bought more fabric to create another interchangeable wardrobe with more possibilities 😁 Patterns- Top: #S9716 (A) Pants: #S9751 (C) Skirt: #S9751 (A) Shrug: #S8655 (A) @simplicity_creative_group Fabric: Soft Brushed Knit and Dragonfly Sheer from @joann_stores #madewithjoann #WeCeeStyle #imakemyownclothes #PSImadethis #sewcialist #handmade #diy #doityourself #diyfashion #handmadewardrobe #custommade #sewist #lookbook #lotd #outfitpost #memade #makersgonnamake #sewing #sewistofinstagram #diywardrobe #sew #sewingpatterns #sewingprojects #sewingprocess #simplicitypatterns #memadeeveryday

I sewed up Vogue 1923 for my final Valentine’s Day lewk! 💕I fell in love with this top as soon as it dropped so I made a sew along and it’s LIVE today! I’m not a fan of bodysuits so I hacked this into a regular top with a hem. Then I decided to pair it with my Mimi G/Simplicity jeans that I made a few years ago. I always feel 10 ft tall when I wear these. For a short girl, that’s a good thing. 🤣 Top: #v1923 #madebyme Pants: @mimigstyle @simplicity_creative_group #s8655 made by me #valentinesdaysewing #diyoutfit #datenightoutfit #memadewardrobe #wintersewing #voguepattern

I love capes so was determined to make one in denim as designed by @thecornyrainbow for another Black Pattern Designer entry. Was pleasantly surprised to see that it’s actually a bomber cape! Who knew?…so here’s my first bomber jacket.😁 Thanks @sewnaturaldane @bhmpatterndesigners @blacksewingnetwork for motivation to sew this month! 🧵 1912 -Celebrates the birth year of my grandmother. My family’s matriarch who lived to see 102 years!🙏🏾 -Commemorates the year the prosperous black town of Oscarville, Ga became the site of racial expulsion. It is now buried under Lake Lanier, rumor has it the lake is still haunted…😱 1619 When it all began!

I love this sewing community. Watching @shutokaj’s beautiful @mimigstyle #S8655 top on YouTube, ( ▶️ follow + subscribe ✨), reminded me I also made this top years ago from fabric upcycled from a dress; But as we do, have never worn it.

My 2024 sewing year has started off pretty good! #s8655 came out years ago. But ever since I’ve been dreaming about a pair of dark washed flared jeans- exactly like the ones @mimigstyle is wearing on the pattern envelope Thanks to the #topdowncenterout fitting method, the fit is amazing…well as best as I could possibly do. And crazy for the pintucks..just what’s needed for the dramatic flares.

Another Friday…another sofa! Flashing back to December when we were definitely NOT in the throes of winter in New England like today! I’ve been sewing up a storm lately (and things are going well) but no new photos due to the usual winter suspects snow/ice/mud/rain/darkness… So my me-made #fashionOnTheSofaFriday for this week is a #so50reworn you may recognize. It’s my crane print wrap top made in pebble crepe with #S8655, a Mimi G pattern from Simplicity. This wrap top turned out to be a really versatile addition to my holiday wardrobe & was worn several times. I hope the weekend treats you well. #sewOver50January #sewOver50 #so50tops #so50Simplicity #so50holiday #memadeEveryDay #imakewhatiwear #iwearwhatiwant #sewOverAgeism #sewnshownseated
