The Downtown sewing pattern by @patternemporium_kate is not just a jacket for the cold but also an absolutely fantastic lighter layer for popping on in the inbetween weather! I’ve chosen to make my Roomy Fit Downtown Jacket in a lighter double gauze to take me through the rest of winter, into spring and beyond. The roomy fit makes a great breezy shirt style jacket that is a perfectly fresh and classic layering piece. . This pattern has so many beautiful features for a fabulously professional finished garment for all skill levels! - sizes 4-30au - Both Regular and Roomy Fits (full pattern) or each fit available separately - Two piece long sleeve with exaggerated cuff and fixed button - Short sleeve - Easy collar - Back yoke with burrito finish - Front with integrated placket - Topstitched or pleated back - Included FBA pieces - Exaggerated patch pockets - Topstitching (including tips) - Boxy shape - 3 x lengths - Side splits (optional) - Functional or faux button up - Print at home, copyshop and projector files and fully comprehensive instructions . Pattern release sale is on now - 15% off (ends tomorrow) . Pictured in the ROOMY Fit, size 20 with 2 size FBA, length 3 (with 5cm added for my tall self), back pleat, long cuffed sleeve, side splits and single breast pocket. Faux button up this time with buttons but no buttonholes. I’ve used a cotton double gauze from Homecraft Textiles. . Wearing with both the Own Your Magic Dress and Hugs and Kisses Cami and Walk Boldy Pants . #PatternEmporium #PEDowntownJacket #PEOwnYourMagicDress #PEHugsandKissesCami #PEWalkBoldlyPants #sewmystyle #curvysewist #pdfpatterns #sewover40 #slowfashion #sewing #sewingpattern #memadeeveryday #memadeoutfit #sewityourself #handmadefashion #imakefashion #ItsWhatYouMakeIt #patternrelease

The pattern for this cami actually came out a couple weeks ago, but due to travel, I'm just getting a chance to post now. This is the Hugs & Kisses Cami from @patternemporium_kate. I made mine to go over my sports bra so no shelf bra though that's an option. I really like how they look together. Fabric is athletic upf spandex from @rockywoodsfabrics. #hugsandkissescami #pehugsandkissescami #patternemporium #lycra #cami #sportsbra #rockywoods #upf #handmadewardrobe #handmade #memade #sporty

Next up in @patternemporium_kate double release is the #pehugsandkissescami I am wearing it here in the first pic with matching sashay shirts as a pajama set ! In the second I did a swim hack using two layers of the optional shelf bra and adding a bottom band then wearing sashay shorts again! You can get the pattern now and see your own quick and easy cami!

Animal print for the win! Downtown Jacket by @patternemporium_kate in a lightweight 142gsm cotton corduroy. Because animal print is life! Again in size 20 with FBA, this is the Regular Fit option in length 3 (5cm added for my 176cm tall self), long cuffed 2 piece sleeve, side splits, pleat back, single breast pocket and faux button up (buttons but no buttonholes). This is a great light (yet crisp and full bodied) layering piece in this fabric, just beware it’s grippiness! Perfect popped on over a tank or cami like the PE Hugs and Kisses Cami pictured. Different fabrics have different personalities so always fun giving my garments different looks and feels by simply using different textiles. #patternemporium #PEDowntownJacket #PEHugsandKissesCami #sewingproject #pdfpattern #curvysewist #sewmystyle2024 #sewover40 #sewing #sewfashion #patternrelease #sewityourself

Thinking of my sewing plans for 2024: it’s going to be a year dedicated to self-care, reflection, and healing. Life threw its challenges at me in 2023, battling health issues, loss, and distance. So this year, I'm giving myself the gift of time – time to heal, perhaps embark on some home renovations, and of course keep the connection with my craft, albeit a little quieter this year. Sewing is my sanctuary, and it’s certainly provided a welcome escape for me this past year.   I have therefore crafted my #MakeNine2024 challenge to sew some items that have been in the pipeline for quite some time.  If I don’t get them done, I’m not going to stress. It’s all about the journey for me this year. 2024 will see me in a chapter of regrouping, reassessing, focussing on personal growth, … and the gentle hum of my sewing machine. 🪡✨   On my list for 2024 are:   1. Greenstyles Stride Tights

Happy Hanukkah! Happy New Year! Happy Llamakkah!⁠ ⁠ I found this Happy Llamakkah deadstock cotton spandex fabric at @califabrics with little llamas wearing kippahs and menorahs and sufganiyot and couldn't resist making a pair of PJs to wear for the festivities.⁠ ⁠ The pants are the @cashmerette Fiske pajamas bottoms and the top is a @patternemporium_kate Hugs & Kisses cami. Both patterns I've made before so it was a mostly fast make (though I had some fights with my serger and coverstitch at one point).⁠ ⁠ Coincidentally I already had Happy Llamakah socks from a previous year . . . so my outfit was complete 😎⁠ ⁠ I hope your new year is off to a good start, however you're celebrating!⁠ ⁠ #happyhanukkah #happynewyear #happyllamakkah #hanukkah #chanukkah #newyear #pajamas #cashmerette #cashmerettefiske #patternemporium #pehugsandkissescami #califabrics #llamakkah #llamakah #deadstock #knitwear #cottonspandex #holidayattire
