I obviously wanted to wear sparkles for Taylor swift. I bought this glorious fabric from a coupon shop in Paris. I liked the look of the t-shirt dress Taylor wears for lavender haze, so I decided to emulate that. I know I probably could have drafted myself, but I went for the #v9237 I used a jersey bias tape for the neckline and I encased the join around the arms so I wasn't shredded by the sequins. #SewersGonnaSew #SewersOfInstagram #IMadeMyClothes #PlusSizeSewing #CurvySewing #CurvySewingCollective #diyootd #SoISew #SewNotts #FatSewing #FatSewingClub #HandOnMyHip #SewingIsFun #SewingIsMySuperPower #PlusSizeSewing #voguepatterns #ErasTour #ErasOutfit

A little impossible to capture the details on camera...black on black I have had this pattern for quite a while, #vogue9237, and am happy to finally sew this. This pattern fits the bill of what I need for Spring. I do not own anything with short sleeves (other than one RTW knit sweater! ). Crazy isn't it!.....no sleeve, long sleeve and 3/4 sleeve fills my wardrobe. I suppose the time has come (ie. old age) to start adding short sleeves rather than sleeveless....although I love sleeveless. The fabric is a woven cotton jacquard. Although there is a pattern on the fabric, I decided to add a bit of interest by adding a lion machine embroidery design to the front. I used all black for a tone on tone effect. I added tiny black crystal beads to the eyes (and one more crystal bead with a thread chain loop for the back closure). As the design was stitching, it reminded me of the Anne Klein logo. The machine embroidery design is from @royalpresentembroiderysia , wonderful designs which stitch out perfectly. . . . #sewover50 #sewover50march #sewover60 #isewmyownclothes #iwearwhatiwant #janomeembroidery #canadasews #ontariosews #v9237 #royalpresentembroidery #royalpresent

hello! it's been a while! since giving up on posting during me made may, i moved cities, started a new job and pretty much overhauled my whole life. saturn return kicking my ass. i did have six weeks away from all my sewing gear while we moved, but since then i've been prolific, though not always successful. this is the first thing i've been truly pleased with off the bat. and this is me in my new garden, about to go watch the south eastern football league grand final... how quickly the night changes etc etc. deets: #v9237 in lovely @seeyouatsixfabric viscose from @maaidesign. straight off the bat i took 1.5" from the length and raised the armhole 5/8", and shaved a smidge off the shoulder slope, always too steep for me in vogue patterns. i'd lower the neckline a little for the next one but overall i'm stoked.

#memademay2025 Day 13 We left the ranch for errands today, but we didn’t get good pictures until we were driving back in. Suddenly it is VERY hot in Texas, and this dress kept me cool. This is Vogue 9237, a simple shift dress with a gathered surprise in the back. I lowered the neckline slightly, but otherwise this pattern is perfect - an easy sew that provides lots of opportunity for fun fabrics. This mustardy animal block print is from my mother’s fabulous stash of vintage cottons. #memademay #v9237 #vintagefabric

This is the Vogue #v9237 which I made back in December during vlogmas ❤️💚 I had this on my #makenine2024 list and so just got in there in time! It is a trapeze style dress so it is a lovely quick sew. The back has a ruffle tier which gives a really nice detail. I particularly like that I can wear it loose for a flowy fit which will be perfect in the summer ☀️ or pop a belt on and team up with tights and a cardi for the cooler time of year. I decided to size down on my measurements thinking as it was an oversized pattern it would be ok but I did find that it is a little snug across the top of the chest so if I make another one I’ll stick with my true size…. Lesson learned! The fabric is a beautiful viscose from @poundfabrics and the cute daisy binding and label is from @thespeckyseamstress #vougesewingpattern #poundfabrics #viscosefabric #memade #speckyseamstress #biastapebythespeckyseamstress #labelsbythespeckyseamstress #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #big4patterns

When I saw the #v9237 made in gingham, I knew I had to make one 😍 I absolutely love the contrast of the different sized checks for the back panel, and the ruffled skirt at the back. A great summer dress 💙 #vogue9237 #voguepatterns #memade #ginghamdress #memadedress

Make 9 2024 My machines and sewing gear are all neatly packed away until we make the move from London to Glasgow at the start of Feb so in the meantime, I'm making plans! 2021 was the last time I created a make 9 and I ended up making four of them that year and another two since then. The Ilford jacket on this board is still on my to do list from back then 😅 and the remaining two from 2021 I'm not feeling for now.

One Make 2 for 2025 but first 1 on the grid Make 1 of my #makeninex2 #makenine2025 This was meant to be a bit of a quick easy dress after a more involved and attention to detail make, however, not as quick and easy as I had hoped. I have really liked the look of this pattern and how it seems to be a very simple shift dress but it’s not as plain as it seems. It took me a little while though to find the right fabrics to pair with the pattern. I am really happy with how well the fabrics match one another and also the pattern. Sewing this dress was straight forward as I’d hoped, however, on finishing the dress the neckline felt too high and didn’t look quite right. So I took scissors to the neckline and lowered it, redid the bias binding and I am much happier with it. I am still debating going back and adjusting the armsyce, but I’ll see how it feels after wearing it for a little while. Unpicking bias binding isn’t fun and I’d need to make more binding. So I am waiting to see how I feel. 🧵The Details🧵 🪡 Pattern - @simplicitymccallsaustralia #v9237 🪡 Fabric - @karinaandkind and @thefineclothcompany #sewhappy #sewsewsew #sewcialite #fortheloveofsewing #seamstress #imadethis #isewmyownclothes #millennialsewing #sewista #curvysewing #sewcurvy #brisbanesews #sewmuchfun #makersgonnamake #pinsandtonicsews

It is the 60th anniversary of this iconic Unikko print by @marimekkoaustralia ❤️ We came across this fabric while fabric shopping in Newcastle - we couldn't help ourselves, and we had to bring home a piece! Also... enter our new fabric pattern! We have claimed that Know Me 2016 is our favourite pattern for a couple of months. Only now we might have found a new favourite Vogue 9237! It is easy to wear and easy to sew - it also has limited pattern pieces, so the wonderful print of the fabric isn't segmented between too many pattern pieces ✂️ Fabric: Unikko print by @marimekkoaustralia purchased from @pappasvens Pattern: #v9237 @simplicitymccallsaustralia #unikko60years #sewmelbourne #sewistsofinstagram #sewinglove #melbournesews #australiasews #patternmatching #sew #sewing #sewaustralia #marimekko

Hurrah! I’ve been waiting for the sun to arrive. It’s an essential for a new #memade white sun dress. Perfect day for it floating round our village fete ☀️ ingredients included pockets, French seams, broderie anglais (from @poundfabrics ) and a little sparkly button. Stayed clean for about 10 minutes until I had a hug from my littlest with a chocolate face… Pattern used was #v9237 . Fun to make and nice not to be too concerned with fitting (generous waftiness around the waist). I did lower the neckline though as a preference. #memadesundress #whitesundress #broderieanglaise #sewingismysuperpower #sewingismytherapy #sewingismypassion #sewingisfun #imakemyownwardrobe #sewistsofinstagram

The last dress of summer 🌞 Okay... maybe it won't be the last summer dress if Melbourne keeps up this hot weather! 😅 Our favourite thing about this dress is the cute back skirt ruffle.

Does anyone nickname their patterns? This pattern is affectionately known as the "ruffle butt dress" to us, but is correctly known as Vogue 9237 😂 This pattern has been the dress of summer - this is the fourth version in our family in the last year! With a loose fit and only one button, it is comfy to wear and a rewarding dress to sew ✂️ Fabric: Cotton sateen purchased from @rathdownefabrics Pattern: #v9237 provided by @simplicitymccallsaustralia #VoguePattern #Sewing #MelbourneSews #AustraliaSews #isew #Vogue9237

Despite all the dire warnings about Vogue 9237, I stubbornly went ahead with using it and this is how it turned out, after significant adjustments. In summary, I had to lower the neckline by 2cm, make the armholes 1cm deeper, take about 7cm off the width at each shoulder (!) and I also chose to lengthen it by about 6cm. I also wasn't a fan of the back closure method and would do this differently next time. The good news is the pockets are in exactly the right place and after redrafting the pattern I now have a version that fits for future makes 👗👗👗 Big thank you to @yo__fo for the pics 📸 🙏 #sewing #dress #sewingpatterns #vogue #v9237 #flowerfabric #summerdress #sleevelessdress #homesewing #dresspattern #fashion #patternadjustments #touchwooddesign #makeityourself #homemade

Mulling over some Christmas sewing, if I can wash fabric in between storms. Perhaps the Vogue pattern will feature this flower power fabric better. It's McCall's View C vs Vogue View A - what do you think? 🤔 #sewing #dress #sewingpatterns #vogue #v9237 #mccalls #m7948 #summerdress #sleevelessdress #homesewing #dresspattern #fashion #touchwooddesign

Time to start posting my passions again 🧵🪡🧶 What better way to kick things off than with a #memade! This Vogue #V9237 has been in the stash for a while, but not being sure of sizing I decided to make a toile from polycotton I picked up at @needlecrafthemelhempstead Such an easy pattern (with pockets!!!) that I hacked with the flutter shoulders. To make this pattern work for me, I narrowed the shoulders, sewed the back on the fold - not sure this has worked for me as the additional ease made the back a little gapey and lined it so there was no need for bias to finish the edges. Now on to make something else.... watch this space to see what else is on its way 😊 #memade #sewingproject #sewing #vogue

My sewjo is back! I made this dress over the past weekend and I can already tell it’s going to be one of my top summer go-to outfits. Fabric: Linen from @moodfabrics. Size: Small. Mods: Based on reviews, I lowered the armholes and opened up the neckline both by a half inch. The pattern also had a very steep shoulder slope, so I reduced that by another half inch. #v9237 #imakemyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #handmade #memade #isew

Mullet dress! This is the #v9237 by @simplicitymccallsuk, and it is very much business in the front, party in the back 😆 I'm obsessed at the moment with this plain neckline/short sleeves combo (see also my many V9075s) so when I spotted this in the @thefoldline sale, I snapped it up. With no zips or buttonholes, it's a delightfully quick sew! The only tricky bit was the sleeves, which I struggled to set in without puckers- might trim the sleeve head slightly next time? I chose the size according to my bust measurement and added a load of length for #SewingTall. Unfortunately not enough, and I had to do a single-fold micro-hem. Next time I'll add an inch, and also redistribute some of the length in the back so that the ruffle is shorter. I lengthened the ruffle but in doing so I think I've knocked the proportions of the dress off a little. I'll also lower the pockets by an inch. Speaking of pockets, I used my enormo-pocket pattern for guaranteed pleasure and practicality, and my only other mod was to swap the button for a lazy-girl hook & eye. The fabric is linen from an ebay destash. The way it drapes gives me SUCH FEELINGS ❤️ Also I'm considering making another version of this dress without the ruffle just to really highlight that gorgeous clean A-line shape. Ob-sessed. But I love the ruffle too and its fun element of surprise! Overall, I'm mega chuffed with this. Am already surveying my stash to see what I could use for another one! #VoguePatterns #SundressSewingPattern #MillennialSewing #LondonSews #SustainableSewing #HandmadeWardrobe #B36W29H43
