#memademay2024 #mmmay2024 @sozoblog An old favorite #s8637 in a lightweight gingham. I ran lots of errands today …. The post office, the sewing store for interfacing , the thrift market and I saw this miniature sewing machine it made me smile. Then a search in the neighborhood bakeries for a hearty bread . ( no luck on the bread) My husband chopped my head off in the last photo in honor of a friend who whenever she took pictures of us our heads were chopped off! Happy Friday everyone. #stillsewingstories #sewoverbreastcancer #sewover50 #sewover60 #memadeeveryday #pocwhosews #sewistsofinstagram #curvysewingcollective #madebyme #personalstyle #sewoveragism #latinaswhosew #pocwhosews #makersgonnamake #so50reworn #memadeeveryday #iwearwhatiwant

July happiness is getting to wear my new wrap dress! I used Simplicity 8637 and sewed View C. The flounce is epic, it's a lot of fabric but it gives the dress the swish factor, which makes it so special. I was gifted this amazingly beautiful viscose challis in Botanic Bower by Minerva in return for a fabric write up, the quality is wonderful and the design and colours are perfect. Have to admit I nearly fell for using the colour code on the pattern for the fabric layout and remembered just in time to double check the correct layout. I would have been in a flounce if I had got that wrong! Read more about this make by following the link above. Thank you @minervadotcom this fabric is to swoon over And thank you to @quirky_queenie_of_yorkshire for these pictures on such a lovely hot day! @simplicitymccallsuk #minervabrandambassador #minervamaker #minervamakers #minervamakes #simplicity8637 #s8637 #lovetosew #wrapdress #sewingismysuperpower #simplicitypatterns #sewover50 #so50july #so50dresses #sewsewsew #ruffledress #sewme #sewnwithsimplicity #so50simplicity #yorkshiresews #sewyorkshire #so50floral

Patchwork dress ✨🌸💕 . This one took me days to make but it turned out a beauty! Using all the fabric scraps from my recent makes I tested out the simplicity pattern #s8637 . Patchworking with my print scraps is always fun because they pretty much all work together! When designing I find myself going back to my favourite colours time and time again, which was just perfect for this project. 😉 . . . . . . . #textile #textiledesigner #australiana #surfacepatterndesign #design #australianartist #sydneyartists #handdrawn #illustration #surfacepatterndesigner #memade #womenwhodraw #custommade #surfacepatterncommunity #printandpattern #simplicity #patchwork #sewingproject #quilt #swingdress #wrapdress #sewingismytherapy #sewingismysuperpower #craft #pink #flatlay #zerowaste #spoonflower #spoonflowerapparel

#tbt I realized yesterday that I never shared this dress! Custom designed for my daughter’s high school graduation- 2 years ago. And now I’m prepping for the next daughter’s graduation! Skirt is from #s8637, sleeve is from #s1801, self-drafted bodice #graduationdress #simplicity_creative_group #customsewing #isew #ilovesewing #coupdefoudredesign

The Little Red Dress. Of all the dresses I’ve sewed, this one is my favorite. It’s a combination of New Look 6283 (bodice) and Simplicity 8637 (skirt), using a fire engine red cotton-poly blend fabric. The bodice was originally designed as a swimsuit cover up, but with the v-neckline raised just a bit, it accompanied this garment perfectly. Paired with the long, gorgeous flounce, this dress whispers soft, graceful, and feminine. I’m ready to step out this summer. ❤️ When I do, I’ll take more photos. 😉 . .

Easter 2022. Izzy in her first bonnet 💕 pattern for her bonnet and dress were both free found on google. My dress is probably the first purchased paper pattern I’ve made being the @simplicitymccallsaustralia #s8637 fabric from @spotlightstores

Wearing one of my summer favorites. #ginghamdressandbackpack #s8637 #so50simplicity @simplicitymccallsuk I had to stitch down the bodice to get the right fit. It’s comfortable and I usually wear bike shorts underneath because the skirt blows open on a windy day.

Patchwork #s8637 @simplicitymccallsaustralia dress in front of the biggest xanthorrhoea grass tree to ever exist!! (maybe…) but really, it is bloody huge! .

It's not exactly Project Runway but it's proof of concept and a whole bunch of new skills learned with no wasted material since this is an old duvet cover. Now to do it all over again with a fabric I love! #sewing #lifelonglearning #vintagesewingmachine #vintagesinger #upcycling #simplicitypatterns #s8637

New dress made during the June holidays. Wore it for the first time on the first day of school in Term 3. #simplicity8637 #s8637 #memadewardrobe #imademyclothes #singaporesews

Kesällä ommeltua osa 1. Tässä mekossa yhdistyy kaksi haaveilemaani asiaa. 1. Tämä kangas ehti odottaa kaapissa keväästä 2019 lähtien, että pääsee käyttöön. Harvoin kangas huutaa nimeäni niin kovasti kuin tämä teki, muistaakseni yli vuoden ajan. Viime hetkellä, ennen kankaan loppumista, sain tilattua @eurokangas verkkokaupasta sopivan määrän tätä Margo-nimistä tencelsatiinia. 2. Vielä pidempään olen haaveillut ja ihaillut kietaisumekkoja, joissa on helmafrilla/volanki. Nimittäin vuodesta 2013 asti olen miettinyt, että joskus minullekin tulee semmoinen. Nyt sen tein. Ja vaikka itse kehunkin, niin tämä on kaunis. Kaavana #s8637 Hihana oma muokkaus ja helmavolangin muokkasin molemmista reunoista kaarevaksi.

My favorite part of any sewing project is seeing the individual parts ready to come together 💙 Shown here is the neck facing, bodice, sleeves, skirt, and skirt flounce for Simplicity 8637 in blue hammered polyester satin from Joann's. This used up the last of my several-years-old stash of fabrics from Joann's! #simplicity8637 #s8637 #wrapdress #sewing

Store bought versus what I made 😍. I LOVE my creation! It’s giving all soul train energy with my fro 💃🏽. I mashed up the skirt of @simplicity_creative_group #s8637 and the bodice of #s8635. I made duplicate tiers and shortened the length of them by half to get the double flounce effect. It zips in the back instead of wraps to close. This was a BEAST to make (don’t ask me how many times I picked up my seam ripper) but I absolutely LOVE it!! Fabric is a crepe back satin from @joann_stores #memadewardrobe #handmadestyle #sewing #memade #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #milennialsewing #blackwomensew #instasewing #dressmaking #patternmashup #imakemyownclothes #imakemyclothes #sewingproject #sewrecreatethelook

Simplicity 8637 wrap dress in action. I lined the skirt back to add weight and opacity. I made a brooch and hat pin out of fake flowers from Michael's. I got so many compliments on my outfit. Having practiced, I just grinned and said, "Thank you!" Embroidered shirting cotton from Joann's apparel section, cotton lawn linings from the remnant drawer. #SewOver50 #s8637 #joanns #simplicity #wrapdress #sewover50november

Finally finished in Cornwall Love this pattern @simplicitymccallsuk S8637 used a stretch crepe bought last year from @minervadotcom @stash_hub #sewover50august #memade #sewing #s8637 #wrapdress

My latest make is this pattern mashup wrap dress! I used View C of New Look 6560 for the bodice and the skirt of Simplicity 8637 View D. Self drafted flounce sleeves balance the flounce on the skirt.

Another #minervabrandambassador make. Love the print and colors of this fabric. I love how I can style it with sneakers for a casual look or with heels for a dressier look. I have been wanting this style of dress for a long time. I’m glad I finally made it. The fabric was a perfect match. Fabric: Minerva exclusive tiger reef viscose challis provided by @minervadotcom.

Good thing I checked the measurements on #simplicity8637 before I could got started on this satin wrap dress... For the shortest dress option, view D, the finished length was 41.5" - about 7" longer than my favorite RTW knee-length wrap dress! This "knee length" dress would've nearly hit at my ankles LOL. I adjusted the length of the pattern in increments: - shortened the bodice above the bust dart - shortened the skirt - removed 1" from the bottom of the skirt ruffles Interestingly, this pattern has 3" of ease at the bust, and only 1.5" of ease at the waist... Plus the super tall bust darts... So I cut out a size 6 (finished bust measurement is 1" ease above my measurements) and will ignore the waist dart during construction, added enough extra width to the skirt side seams so that bodice and skirt match up. Let's see how this wearable mockup turns out 🤞 #s8637 #sewingpatternadjustments

Here’s a sneak peek at my daughter’s senior photos because I wanted to highlight the dress she’s wearing!! This beautiful blue Swiss dot fabric from @alyssa_may_design was supposed to be used for a bridesmaid dress but the bride decided the color wasn’t what she wanted for the wedding. So Grace chose to use it for this stunning dress. The dress is a mashup of three patterns: #s8637 for the crossover bodice, #m9199 for the A-line skirt, and #b5030 has the perfect flutter sleeve.

Me Made May 8 - Summer wrap dress alert. Pattern hacking gives you an entirely new style and design. I combined the top of #s8735 and the skirt/sleeve of #s8637 for my first summer dress make. This dress has been waiting to be made for two years. It's finally done. My fabric is from @moodfabrics . It's been in my collection for over 4 years, but I'm sure they have similar fabrics available.

Time to wear those summer dresses. It is 96 degrees in the Chicagoland area. We may have hot days for an entire week just in time for summer. Lol This dress sewn several weeks ago. I suspect it will be in high rotation given the hot, sticky days of Chicago. Cotton is the best.

I'm so happy with how this dress I made for my cousin's wedding came out! 💐 I used a teal polyester satin fabric from Aliexpress. The quality was even better than expected! It was a great deal, too ($16.97 for 5 yards!) I had never worked with satin before this project, but tips I picked up: 1. Cut on the cross grain. If your straight seams are on the cross grain, they are less prone to puckering at the seam line. This tip is from a Catherine Sews Youtube video & I tested it before committing to a cutting layout. I also read in Bridal Couture by Susan Khalje that cutting long verticle seams very slightly off grain reduces puckering. 2. Use a microtex needle and replace it often. I went through a whole pack of Schmetz 70/18 microtex needles. 3. Clips instead of pins. I found clips much easier to manage on this project, and didn't worry about snags from dull pins. Also, with a 5/8" seam allowance I can keep the tip of the clip on my fabric without it getting in the way of my presser foot, so I could leave them attached while sewing. 4. Use a rotary cutter to cut out pattern pieces. Seriously. 5. Interface where you are putting your zipper. I used Pellon P44f. I also basted in my invisible zipper. Honestly, I think this is the cleanest Invisible zipper I've ever done. I'm very proud. For the pattern: I traced the front and back neckline from #S9291 (reprint of #B6453) onto my bodice block. The soft curve coordinates well with the curves on the skirt pieces. I also like this neckline because it has a lower back, but not so low I can't wear a normal strapless bra. For the skirt, I used #S8637 View C and added an additional flounce layer. I shortened the flounce pattern pieces by about half, and stitched them together before attaching to the skirt. If I made this dress again, I would: 1. Shorten the straps. The points where the bodice attaches to the dress sag a fair amount when my shoulders are relaxed and I get wrinkling in that area. 2. Add more ease at the waistline. 1/4" at each side seam would be good. 3. Trim the seam allowance on the flounces and skirt to make it easier to match them at the stitch line. I struggled and got some bunching.

Finally completed a garment: simplicity S8637 style B dress with sleeve adjustments. Thank you, @wyldwoodcreative for the advice and class on garment making! . #s8637 #memade #handmadeclothing #simplicity #imadethis #handmadedress #organiccotton #cottondress

Today I would like to show you my new ‘princess dress’ 😁, it is #simplicity8637 , I made this a while ago without the flounces too. It definitely makes me feel like a girl dressing up as a princess 😉. And I do like to sew and wear things that are a little bit different and not what people expect. 😎. Wish you all happy Easter days! ☀️Fabric from @junidesign78 and because I didn’t order enough, also a little bit from @lapjeskraampaulengonneke 🙂. @poppyfabrics
