Pollen season is letting us know summer is looming ever closer, so I’ve been working on making some new summer staples to pair with wardrobe favorites. These @twigandtale #ttfernwayculottes are made in an @artgalleryfabrics linen and cotton blend from @fiveeighth. I upcycled a #chessiesystem tee using the rockabilly t-shirt hack tutorial from @gertie18 a few years ago, and this top pairs perfectly with these culottes for ultimate warm weather comfort. #twigandtale #fernwayculottes #ttstorytellers #ttstorytellers2025

Another colour blast for the weekend. Loose cut culottes best fit for sizes AU10-14. I have used parrot print cotton drill from 70s. Wide waistband with elastic at the back, pockets of course and 3/4 length. This style is the most comfortable thing to wear. I have them in so many colours. Length 82cm, waist 72cm flat and stretched 100cm. My waist is 82cm and fits comfortably. AVAILABLE $150+ postage #misshannadesigns

Apparently buying a dorky hat is a thing I do when visiting little islands. My Cockatoo Island hat is a good match for my new linen shirt and shorts that I made for this trip. Shorts: @twigandtale #fernwayculottes made with linen from @belowthekowhai Shirt: 1980s Style pattern made from opshopped linen. The pattern is for a dress I made ages ago from a duvet cover and I have no other loose shirt patterns so I just extended the bodice an appropriate amount and didn't put the skirt on. Buttons are also vintage from my stash. This was a bit of a panic sew as we had to fly down to Ōtepoti a week before our holiday but I'm happy I at least made this outfit. #sewingdiary #holidayoutfit #cockatooisland

I was gifted this linen from @emsylouiseb destashing! I decided to try dying this a darker colour. I went with 1 pod of the @dylon_uki in Espresso - really happy with the results. I made the @twigandtale #fernwayculottes #twigandtale #twigandtalepatterns #dylon #selfcaresewing #sewingwithcats #memade #imakemyownclothes

Did you know that adding water makes any playtime 127.6% more fun? (Of course I just made that fact up, but we all know it's true. 😉) @junamei's little one is so sweet splashing about in her little Fernway Culottes, with plenty of room to move and play - it's easy to see she's having all sorts of fun! What about the little ones in your life? Are they splish-splashers at playtime, or do they prefer stay-dry activities instead?

Love a jumpsuit, hate being rudy in the toilet I made this faux jumpsuit from @twigandtale #fernwayculottes which is very much a tried and tested pattern for me, I’ve loved every pair I’ve made. And @petitestitchery #indigodress The fabric is a lovely linen mix from @northernmonkeymakes which feels lovely because linen but is pretty crease free even after I’ve worn this all day including sitting for 2hrs in the theatre. Whole outfit cost £30.80 which I think is a pretty good bargain to be head to toe in linen 😝 Shame the weather means inside photos, I’m trying to remain upbeat about the weather but I will be so pissed off if my whole school holidays are like this!!!!!!!!!!! #sewing #handmadewardrobe #jumpsuit #fauxjumpsuit #linen #whereisthesummer #twigandtale #petitestitchery #sewinginwestyorkshire #yorkshiresews #handmade #handmadeclothing #clothesthatfit #curvysewing #bodypositivity #bodyconfidenceforall

Saturdays are for running errands, doing housework, and making things which means shorts for day 11 of #MeMadeMay2024 . These #fernwayculottes are one of my favourite pairs of shorts, they're very good for any situation that I need to fill my pockets because they've got ties and the little flower pattern has all my favourite colours in it for easy matching with one of my selection of political or good cause t-shirts. This morning I went for a walk to do some errands, then I came home to do some cleaning and put some food in the slow cooker first dinner and worked on my snot skirt replacement. Sophie did some baking and tidied her bedroom and Ollie did some cleaning and then cubing practice. A very productive day for all of us and I'm going to enjoy soaking in the bath while Sophie is at work tonight. #SewingSaturday

SEWN: @twigandtale #fernwayculottes , in a sage green tencel bought locally @teohhuattextiles. Revisiting my love for culottes. What’s not to like? Delightfully swishy, those deep pleats and an elastic back waistband! This is an easy sew, my only modification was to shorten as usual. I opted to shorten 1” in the rise and 1” in length from the calf length option. Oh and this tencel was $6/y when I bought it. 😳 #isew #isewmyownclothes #imakemyownclothes #sewsewsew #twigandtalepatterns #twigandtale #indiepatterns #ilovetosew #sgmaker #sgmakers #singaporesews #sgsews #handmadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #asianswhosew #pdfpatterns #fionamakes #fionamakesin2024 #sewover40 #imadethis #sewingproject

SOLD These colours my goodness 🧡💛 the blanket had some age spots, just like me….I tried my best to cut around, but noticed a few whilst sewing. Hubby said you can’t see them, but I could. Please see last photo, thinning in wool when you look closely. I have super exposed the pics. That will reflect the price. It won’t affect your use what so ever. Size 12/14 vest, with hood and pockets, cotton lining. Under arm 108cm Dropped back 74cm #misshannadesigns

I had a vision with this top and culottes combo. Did I deliver ? Heavy cotton table cloth upcycle pants with pockets of course. Top light cotton with puffy sleeves, elastic around neck and sleeves.. Culottes waist flat 84cm, quite a bit of stretch best for sizes 10-14 Top best for sizes 10-14 as well underarm 120cm, raglan sleeve. Strip of material just required me to tie a bow to finish the outfit. Both available #misshannadesigns

☀️ Holiday Makes ☀️ Photo drop of some holiday makes….most of them taken in the garden because I was too busy drinking Sangria while I was away🍷 I made the @fridaypatterncompany #saguaroset - top, trousers and shorts - all in this beautiful navy daisy embroidered cotton from @guthrieghani I also made a second #saguarotop in the pink colour way of the same fabric 🌼 for the ultimate mix and match. This is such a great pattern and so easy to make. I also made the #fernwayculottes by @twigandtale in this lovely black viscose linen from @1stforfabrics #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysaguaroset #twigandtalepatterns #guthrieghani #guthrieghanifabric #1stforfabrics #imakemyownclothes #imadethis

It's hard to beat the combo of classy and comfy! I love the balance of the two that Lia accomplished in these Fernway Culottes - inspired by historical split-skirts, she combined the two front pleats on each side for a really fun take on the pattern that radiates timeless style. Want to create your own take on classy comfort? Come try the Fernway Culottes for yourself! You can find them with the rest of our PDF pattern collection in the shop - link in bio

Noviembre y seguimos con outfits veraniegos 😎☀️ Tenia ganas de utilizar esta tela tan fresquita en un pantalón cómodo y el patrón #fernwayculottes de @twigandtale era perfecto. La blusa es un patrón base de toda la vida con volantes, corta eso si, para que “se me vea el ombligo mami que es verano” Ahora si comenzaré con la costura para invierno ❄️ aunque no se si voy un poco tarde 🤣

Happy Friday ! How good are these bathing boxes as a background - my kind of colours 💛 This whole outfit is me made except the shoes, the best kind of dressing. Upcycled table cloth culottes, long shirt wool blend vintage fabric with massive pockets and tshirt where I sewed the word #sisu. It is a Finnish and there is no straight, one word translation. “SISU extraordinary determination courage, and resoluteness in the face of extreme adversity. An action mindset which enables individuals to reach beyond their present limitations, take action against all odds and transform barriers into frontiers. An integral element of Finnish culture and also a universal capacity, which we all share”#misshannadesigns

Last day in Helsinki. I packed very few clothes with me so can bring a pile of vintage fabric back to Aus. This outfit has been worn a lot, puffy sleeve cotton top upcycled from curtains and flowy rayon culottes made with my favourite pattern by @twigandtale #misshannadesigns

It was a good day for dinosaur pants today for #MeMadeMay2024 day 10. I had to take Sophie on my scooter to the orthodontist in the morning and was working from home for the day so I needed something comfy and suitable for leaving the house. These #fernwayculottes have belt loops which is my favourite addition and makes them work appropriate. Super warm woollen cardigan from the opshop by the gardens in Dunedin and a "pretty communist" t-shirt. #workfromhomeoutfit #DinosaurClothesForAdults #dinosaurpants

For #MeMadeMay2024 day two, I worked from home in my comfy linen pants. These pants are #fernwayculottes in a lighter weight linen that's at risk of wearing through in multiple places because I wear them so much. I went for a walk to the pharmacy to get a lecture from the pharmacist, whoops I mean to pick up my meds and wore my #kellyanorak because it has been raining on and off all day. The Kelly anorak is a very satisfying sew and it's the perfect jacket for a rainy day. In the post today I got my wonderful #intersexy tshirt from @intersexaotearoa and I love it so much. Sewing plans: When I got the fabric for my jacket, I also got some in black to make a rain jacket for @thesewingsophie so I think I need to put that to the top of the list. I would also like to make another Kelly anorak in a drill or something for dry days.

These fernway culottes were one of my first projects. I love twig and tale patterns because they are SO easy to follow, have step by step visual guides and a while community of people that are happy to help out. Made from pure linen, these are so easy to wear, style and have amazing pockets!! I would say excuse the backdrop, but, this is what my house looks like, piles of washing and colourful toys galore. #twigandtale #fernwayculottes #plussizedsewing #linen #toddlerlife

Syd showing off her @twigandtale Fernway Culottes in beautiful shot cotton from @tint_makerspace ! They're super comfy and she's already made a whole second pair. ❤️ #sewing #sewistofinstagram #fernwayculottes #tintmaker

This is fully #memade outfit. Top yesterday see previous post for details, reversible hat and upcycled culottes can be both found on my Etsy. Top works well with high waisted trousers and can be worn on or off the shoulder. Happy Saturday ! #misshannadesigns

Another fun background - will fill my feed with these. #sorrynotsorry My dream has been to own a kombi van one day, so of course needed a shot with this cute #brightonbathingbox.Huge pockets in my #misshannadesigns shirt and culottes meant didn’t have to carry a bag and could concentrate on walking and taking photos. Two pairs of upcycled culottes in 3/4 length available on my Etsy at the moment.

It’s been such a hot summer and I wanted to sew something comfy, cool, and stylish. Digging through my fabric, I saw I still had some of this lovely green gauze. Voila! @twigandtale pattern for the win 🙌🏼 their Fernway culottes pattern is so versatile and now I have a new summer/beach staple 💚juju . . #ttfernwayculottes #fernwayculottes #culottes #sewing #sew #lovetosew #sewallthethings #handmade #memade #isew #happysewing #craftedbyjuju

A comfy sewing outfit today for day 12 of #MeMadeMay2024 including another pair of linen #fernwayculottes, a #rightofreturn t-shirt from @palestinian.id and my lovely warm wool coat I made last year. Today I made a shirt for work that just needs buttonholes and buttons then cut and about half sewed a vest to match my new snot skirt (I need a better name for it). We had dinner at @everybodyeatsnz because cooking on Mother's Day is not for me and now I'm having a very early night because I've been sleeping badly the last couple of weeks.

Me Made May day 9 is me working to see if I need to hang on to all the memades in the wardrobe. I don’t reach for these @twigandtale #fernwayculottes even though I do love wearing them. I think I’m into something a little more structured at the moment?? Paired with a trusty #nikkotop in merino from @wearethefabricstore #sustainablesewing #memade #memadewardrobe #adelaidesews #handsewnwardrobe #isewmyownclothes #imakemyclothes #handmadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #memadeveryday #sewyourownclothes #imademyclothes #B36w33h41 #mmm24 #mmm2024 #memademay I love merino but hate how much moths love merino!

It's cold in Ōtepoti but I've got warm things on. Linen shirt: 1970s pattern Linen pants: @twigandtale #fernwayculottes Wool coat: vintage pattern from @withorwithoutice Actually I think all the fabric except my coat lining came from @wearethefabricstore Wool and alpaca scarf: made by @crochet_by_ollie Wool hat: $2 from the shop next to our motel Wool socks: made in Ashburton by @nzsockco Shoes: made in Ōtepoti by @mckinlaysfootwear1879

What are your favourite found pieces to upcycle? You know we love a good re-use story here at T+T, so when @mysewperpower shared the tale of these gorgeous Fernway Culottes, we were on cloud 9!

SEWN: another pair of @twigandtale #fernwayculottes, in a discounted rayon from @spotlightstores. Made ages ago, very soon after making my first pair but only recently photographed. Handy pockets and delightfully swishy in a fabric with drape. #isew #isewmyownclothes #imakemyownclothes #sewsewsew #indiepatterns #asianswhosew #ilovetosew #twigandtale #twigandtalepatterns #handmadewardrobe #imadethis #sgsews #singaporesews #sgmaker #makersgonnamake #fionamakes #fionamakesin2024 #sewover40

#twinning with my cousin. Sunflower material trifted tablecloth and so is the fabric for my #fernwayculottes. Sleeves cotton sheeting to make the tops just a little different. All material from @salvosstores #misshannadesigns

I put on a nice outfit to go to work today and then when I got home I was so freezing I immediately got into some warm flannelette #fernwayculottes and two pairs of merino socks so that's what I'm posting for day 9 of #MeMadeMay2024 Vintage sheets make for the best PJs and house pants. #fernwayculottesseated #seatedmakeschallenge #sewingshownseated #sewnshownseated #seatedmakeschallenge2024 @thewheeliestitcher @lolieya

It's strawberry sweater and secret pants weather... Just a spring outfit to feel light and bright, but combat the icy wind we're having. My sweater is a cotton sweater from @modcloth a couple years ago. The green tank top is a new purchase (shocking, I know, but all my other tank tops were falling apart!) from @uniqlousa The secret pants I made yet years ago as part of @twigandtale 's sew and show for the Fernway Culottes curve expansion! I really like the colors in this outfit and this sweater never fails to make me happy. . . . #ootd #strawberrysweater #springfashion #cottagecorefashion #plussizecottagecore #sustainablewardrobe #naturalfibers #plussizeootd #cozyfashion #historybounding #fernwayculottes #twigandtalestorytellers

Want to see a mid-Summer update on my #makenine2021 plans? I like to sketch my planned projects and then paint the sketches when each project is completed. As you can see, I’ve finished 4/9 so far! I’m not terribly behind yet, but I need to get sewing!! To be very honest, I don’t know if all of these plans will get completed this year. When I made the list, my wedding plans looked quite different and didn’t involve any additional sewing on my part. Now, I’ve taken on at least one big wedding sewing project (and maybe two if I don’t fit in my wedding dress again by November…). But I think that’s the beauty of sketching out sewing plans in this way. These are good ideas, and I still want to pursue all of them. Having taken the time to sketch the plans and solidify the ideas means that these projects will still get made eventually, even if life interferes with the original timeframe. #sewingplans #drawingsewing #mybodymodel #psferntop #hughesdress #v8689 #fernwayculottes #makenine

Drawing my sewing To-Do List for 2021 Here’s my #makenine2021 sewing plans! Most are for me, a few are for my husband. Some are quick and simple, at least one is a challenge that may or may not work.😂 An @yuki_wafflepatterns #yomogishirtjacket modified to fit my husband A pair of trousers for him too - @wardrobebymepatterns chinos Finally making myself a corduroy shirt using #v8689 A @fridaypatterncompany #hughesdress in a gorgeous border print that I got for Christmas A @patternscout #psferntop in eyelet A very modified #peppermintbuttonupdress carried over from last year’s list @twigandtale #fernwayculottes in a polka dot linen blend #peppermintwidelegpants in corduroy And @seamwork #seamworkdorian in an adorable sailboat print twill There will almost certainly be more makes than nine in 2021, but I do love drawing a special To-Do List to color throughout the year! #sewingplans #drawingsewing

For day 5 of #MeMadeMay2024 I did some sewing! These @twigandtale #fernwayculottes have been in a WIP box for nearly a year with only the front pocket pieces attached. Today I spent two hours sewing them and it was a real joy to sew a pattern I know so well I can do it without much thinking. My pants and jacket are made with linen from @wearethefabricstore, and the labels on my pants are @kylieandthemachine with the back label a @_diydaisy one. The jacket is the #AmeliaBomber that I love for when it's not cold enough for a proper jacket and the colour of these pants is a perfect match, so I'm very happy. Today was a perfect Sunday with sorting my labels, sewing my pants, then having a #sewingmeetup before we have a nice dinner of tomato soup and cheese rolls. #fernwayculottesseated #seatedmakeschallenge #sewingshownseated #triedandtruepattern

Ok, I did this thing - FINALLY. This Dawson Top has been in my head taking space for ages or at least a top this colour. I really wanted a green colour to go with the green in these Fernway Culottes. Orange and yellow aren’t a great match next to my face but I know greens are. So dug out this light weight knit fabric from my stash - not sure where I bought it - so please don’t ask otherwise I’d share the source! Really happy I’ve created it now using the @helens__closet #DawsonTop - loving the fit, it’s now going to be a tried & True pattern going forward! Perfect match for these #fernwayculottes by @twigandtale in a ‘Seville’ @fabricgodmother exclusive viscose print #SewInclusive #FatSewist #MeMadeWardobe #SewistOfInstagram #SewScottish

This is a pair of @twigandtale #fernwayculottes for children, made with one of the only plain fabrics in the stash, with accents of Bloom in the Night Forest fabric from @leeann.textiles. This is a pattern designed for movement ❤️ There is another floral pair with plain accents waiting to be sewn. Perhaps this long weekend. The days go by so quickly. How am I sewing the largest size in the range already?

One more the bathing boxes are just too cute 🤪 and these tablecloth culottes were the best thing during that little Melbourne getaway. BIG pockets are life. #misshannadesignsinwild

Flowy fernways - this was my airport outfit, both when I went to Rome and on my return flight home. Love my fernway culottes so much. It’s like a skirt but I don’t have to worry about the dreadful chafing and it’s like trousers but they’re nice and breezy. The viscose twill has the breathable element to it which makes it more appealing in this hot weather plus it’s a great drape. Pattern - #FernwayCulottes @twigandtale Fabric - Viscose Twill @fabricgodmother collection (one of the first few collections). Need to make a couple more in different lengths and fabric bases plus it’s a great pattern as it goes up to a 62”/157.5” waist. Oh did I mention the back waistband is elasticated and the front is flat! Practical yet Smart. The bamboo jersey tee is a second hand rtw! #meMadeOnRepeat #FatSewist #SewScottish #meMadeEveryday #SewInclusive #FatSewingClub

Fernway culottes? Yes plea(t)se! Belgian weather has surprised us a few times already with very warm weather. And although I love all my skirts and dresses, sometimes it’s just more practical to wear trousers. The solution: shorts that look like skirts! The Fernway culottes are amazing. You don’t need a lot of fabric (I was very surprised) and they’re very comfy and loose. And they look cute! Patterns: Fernway culottes from @twigandtale , which I adjusted a bit for fit (shortened the rise with 4 cms). This pattern was kindly gifted to me by Twig & Tale. The top pattern is self drafted. Fabric: pink cotton from my stash #ttstorytellers #ttstoryteller2025 #ttfernwayculottes #ttsewyourstory

Hooray - we've made it to another weekend! Whatever you're up to, I hope it's a good one - any fun plans? (Hopefully there's a needle, thread, and comfortable, nature-inspired patterns involved. 😉) 📸 A fabulous Scenic + Fernway ensemble by @lismel - a new favourite combo of hers!

There might be a better spot in the house for a photo background, but none as convenient as the sofa to hold the camera. #ashtontopsleeves #ashtontop and #ttfernwayculottes in African wax cotton. This is stiffer than poplin and holds pleats well. Less drapey than my OG duo in cotton linen at the bottom of my grid. This combo as a twinset is now my favourite, I could stop buying any more patterns but then I'll have to stop IG. This is my first time trying sleeves on the Ashton, not quite sure about the look as part of the twinset, might go back to sleeveless when I cut into my precious Nysakapas blockprint.

Two for one today between pricking out our greenhouse babies. I've got charity shop flares and a knot dress. One of my favourite ever fabrics from being a sample Sewist for @42customfabric boy do I miss that fun! At the time I was gutted because it felt too tight because I wasnt in love with my tummy. However thanks to months of physio and healthier living I'm excited I can enjoy it now. The knot is really flattering and I'm thinking maybe i need some top length ones as well. She is wearing that rowan tee again this time paired with a skirt upcycled into twig and tale fernway culottes. It turned out a woman's 8 waistband didn't need much alteration and it was almost zero waste. #memademay #memademay2024 #SewnShownSeated #seatedmakeschallenge2024 @lolieya @thewheeliestitcher #5oo4knotyouraverageshirt #knotyouraveragetop #knotyouraveragedress #knotyouraveragedressseated #ttfernwayculottes #ttfernwayculottesseated #glamourousgardening #upcycled

Identity I made this set of clothes for my mother. I am wearing it, and my kids are taking pictures.. I love that.. I look at my children.. i sometimes see parts of me and my husband, their grandparents.. and even now and then their greatgrandparents.. It's somehow very comforting to be connected in this way.. It somehow brings a feeling of peace.. to be part of something.. to belong.. Facts: @twigandtale #ttfernwayculottes Hacked, is stead of the pleats, i gathered the front.

It's been so so long since i posted a new outfit. Reason being I have been just so busy with work! So I guess it's really apt I finally managed to finish and upload this set in September during @twigandtale slow sewing month! I've usually gone from pattern to choosing a fabric to completed dress in a day or less but this time round, I went the slow, mindful approach. I really wanted to use fabric i already owned so i took the time to unfold each woven fabric i own, trying to remember what I originally bought it for, thinking abt whether they suit the patterns i want to make then folding them again when my heart says no. It took me over a week to decide on these fabric and even longer to commit to cutting them. I took time to clean my sewing machine, my serger, clear my workspace, adjust the projector settings, change the blades of my rotary cutter. Each step taken during the short moments i find myself free between chores and work i brought home. ♥️ In the end, this outfit was sewn over a time span of more than a month. It's possibly the longest time i ever took on a piece of clothing i made, but I'm glad for it. I've already worn the bottoms out with another top. And perhaps i will wear the top out with a different pair of skirt instead. Either way, i know they will be treasured pieces in my me-made wardrobe 🥰 Top: scenic top Bottom: fernway culotte, shorts length Worn with a wide obi belt Both patterns from Twig and tale. #kekesews #twigandtalepatterns #ttfernwayculottes #ttscenictop #slowsewing

Day 2 #memademay2025 These pants are #ttfernwayculottes. They are super comfy and easy to wear. And they have great pockets.

✨ Scenic & Fernway ✨ 🇬🇧 I could not choose between colours… so I did not. I started with the orange set, in ramie fabric. I sewed the Scenic Top last year. It’s one of my favourite, if not THE favourite amongst all the top patterns I own. I procrastinated the Fernway Culottes a lot. I cut the fabric last summer and it took me about 9 months to get to sewing. As usual with Twig + Tale, it was a breeze. So I made one more set in charcoal linen, then one more in blue linen. After the first Fernway Culottes, I lengthen them so they would reach my ankles. I love that I can wear them in the same colours, and then it almost looks like a jumpsuit, or I can mix and match. They’ve been worn a lot already and they will be my uniforms this summer. . 🇫🇷 Je n’avais pas envie de choisir, alors je ne l’ai pas fait ! L’été dernier, j’ai cousu un top Scenic, en ramie orange. J’ai coupé le même tissu pour faire la jupe-culotte Fernway et… je l’ai laissé de côté. Pendant neuf mois. J’ai fini par m’y mettre et j’ai bien fait ! Comme souvent avec Twig + Tale, je me suis régalée. J’ai donc fait deux ensembles supplémentaires : le premier en lin gris, le second en bleu canard. Pour ces deux-là, j’ai allongé les jambes pour atteindre les chevilles, une longueur que je préfère. J’adore pouvoir porter chaque ensemble par couleur ou en mélangeant les hauts et les bas. Je ne vais pas les lâcher de l’été ! . Pattern: #ttscenictop and #ttfernwayculottes by @twigandtale. They were both gifted to me by T+T, for participating in Sew + Show, a process in which patterns are sewn by a group of sewists. We are only asked to provide photos, opinions are our own.

Transformation challenge I took a pair of linen pillowcases and hey presto I now have some linen Fernway shorts! @twigandtale #ttsewmystory #ttscenic #ttfernwayculottes #tttransformation

When I first got back into sewing, I made a pair of culottes that I never loved. It wasn’t the pattern’s fault — it was a combo of bad measurements (I was freshly postpartum and they were changing as I was sewing) and a paperbag waist hack that I loved the idea of more than I loved the execution. They’ve been sitting in a pile, waiting for a new life, until now. I cut them into a different pattern (Fernway Culottes) and embroidered some bumblebees and lavender for embellishment — something that matches my garden right now. The top is a freshly-made Scenic top. This fabric gave me reverse Joy Division vibes and I thought it would make for a good tee. All of the patterns (including the embroidery) are from @twigandtale. I’m part of the #TTStorytellers team and started the shorts in May when the theme was “Renew” — July’s theme is “Work in Progress” so it seemed like a fitting time to finish them. I received the patterns in exchange for sharing my honest experience. Swipe all the way to the end to see the original shorts. #SewYourStory #TTEmbroidery #TTFernway #TTFernwayCulottes #TTScenic #TTScenicTop #twigandtale #twigandtalepatterns

A shirred romper for my little firecracker. I shirred a rectangle which was 1.5 x chest. I used the @twigandtale Fernway Cullotes and added around 5” to the top of it. Attached that to the bodice and added 4 ties. I really wanted to make a @smallmuseum_ @jessilous_closet Tate Romper for my littles but I didn’t want the fuss of zippers etc for toileting access. This was she can get in and out of it without issues! I would add more volume to the culottes for the next version. Thanks @nicnac.makes for sharing the super cute version of her mini!

✨Sister sister✨ The Paary sisters in our me mades 😍

Capturing some @twigandtale magic with my linen Fernways and Double Gauze Scenic. Other makers' creations convinced me to add some culottes to my wardrobe! Truly magical easy to wear garments. #ttfernwayculottes #ttscenictop #ttsewmystory

What are your favourite found pieces to upcycle? You know we love a good re-use story here at T+T, so when @mysewperpower shared the tale of these gorgeous Fernway Culottes, we were on cloud 9! Would you believe they started life as a duvet cover? So fun! We design all of our patterns with upcycling in mind, to help you support our planet one recycled project at a time - to see the full collection visit the pattern shop at www.twigandtale.com (link in bio)

150 years of Liberty's- so enjoyed seeing the exhibition. My sewing world has been tied to this institution for a third of that time so I had to wear a new me made outfit for the visit. I made the Twig and Tale Scenic and Fernways from a drapery viscose/ linen fabric. T &T patterns are about the natural world so I think link seamlessly to Liberty where nature has been a big influence in their designs. #ttscenictop #ttfernwayculottes #liberty150years

Did you know that adding water makes any playtime 127.6% more fun? (Of course I just made that fact up, but we all know it's true. 😉) @junamei's little one is so sweet splashing about in her little Fernway Culottes, with plenty of room to move and play - it's easy to see she's having all sorts of fun! What about the little ones in your life? Are they splish-splashers at playtime, or do they prefer stay-dry activities instead?

Dressed up or down - we love watching T+T patterns turn into beautifully wearable, versatile garments in your handmade wardrobe! ✨⁣ ⁣ @kekesews shows just how beautifully versatile they can be - using the Scenic Top + Fernway Culottes, she made a stunning outfit that's perfectly at home at any fancy get-together. Yet, they are every bit comfortable enough to mix-and-match for everyday wear, too! ⁣ ⁣ What are some of your favourite T+T combos? For you, your little ones, your loved ones, anyone 🌿

It’s been such a hot summer and I wanted to sew something comfy, cool, and stylish. Digging through my fabric, I saw I still had some of this lovely green gauze. Voila! @twigandtale pattern for the win 🙌🏼 their Fernway culottes pattern is so versatile and now I have a new summer/beach staple 💚juju . . #ttfernwayculottes #fernwayculottes #culottes #sewing #sew #lovetosew #sewallthethings #handmade #memade #isew #happysewing #craftedbyjuju

Pollen season is letting us know summer is looming ever closer, so I’ve been working on making some new summer staples to pair with wardrobe favorites. These @twigandtale #ttfernwayculottes are made in an @artgalleryfabrics linen and cotton blend from @fiveeighth. I upcycled a #chessiesystem tee using the rockabilly t-shirt hack tutorial from @gertie18 a few years ago, and this top pairs perfectly with these culottes for ultimate warm weather comfort. #twigandtale #fernwayculottes #ttstorytellers #ttstorytellers2025

It's hard to beat the combo of classy and comfy! I love the balance of the two that Lia accomplished in these Fernway Culottes - inspired by historical split-skirts, she combined the two front pleats on each side for a really fun take on the pattern that radiates timeless style. Want to create your own take on classy comfort? Come try the Fernway Culottes for yourself! You can find them with the rest of our PDF pattern collection in the shop - link in bio

Día 17 de #MeMadeMay2024. Hoy voy vestida de @twigandtale con una #TTDriftwoodBlouse cosida con el lino blanco que me regaló @alittlecorner.of.mei 🤍 y mis #TTFernwayCulottes. #MeMadeMay #Costura #Sewing #TwigAndTale #HandmadeWardrobe #EtringitaCoseYDescose

I made pants! 🎉🍾 These are my first #ttfernwayculottes. This pattern is from @twigandtale and the instructions, as always, did not disappoint. I made my muslin out of a flanel duvet cover. I feel very elegant in these pants. At the same time, with the cloud print and the flowy legs it's like I'm wearing pajamas 😊 I love it! Watch my review of the pattern here: https://youtu.be/wRotAOBNJwo This pattern was provided to me for free as a member of the Twig + Tale Storytellers team 2024.

These days it seems like all I use to sew are bed sheets from the thrift shop 😊 Can you blame me? Tons of fabric at an amazing price! These used to be duvet covers and now I turned them into these fabulous #ttfernwayculottes. This is my entry for the #sewupcycle24 sewing challenge hosted by Karen @sew.little.time and Becky @notes_from_the_sewing_room. I have a video review of this pattern on my YouTube channel.

When I made the culottes for me, I knew my daughter needed a pair too. These are the kids version of the Fernway Culottes from @twigandtale. She is very happy with them — especially the pockets. It’s paired here with the Driftwood Blouse, also from Twig and Tale. I received the patterns as part of the Storytellers team — all experiences and opinions are my own. #TTStorytellers #SewYourStory #TTFernwayCulottes #TTFernway #TTDriftwood #TTDriftwoodBlouse #twigandtale #twigandtalepatterns

Please note: As a Twig + Tale Storyteller, I received the Fernway pattern free to sew and share. All opinions provided are my own. It's been a long week, but this morning I managed to sneak outside and take some quick photos of the Fernway culottes I finally sewed after having them cut and waiting for an embarrassing length of time. I'm not great at words today (did I mention it's been a long week?), but these are a win in my books - the deep front pleats and elastic back waist are so comfortable, and the linen-viscose fabric I chose has plenty of drape and swish. It's rare for me to sew with neutrals, but I wanted something versatile enough to be able to wear year-round with all of my bright & patterned tops and cardigans (plus tights, in winter). I sewed a size I in the 14-38 range, and the only adjustment I made was to hem them below the knee instead of choosing the short, calf, or full length options included in the pattern. I love that @twigandtale patterns have such thoughtful details and simple, clear construction, and I was honestly surprised at how quickly these sewed up, too. I started them shortly after waking up in the morning and had them finished before noon.

Noviembre y seguimos con outfits veraniegos 😎☀️ Tenia ganas de utilizar esta tela tan fresquita en un pantalón cómodo y el patrón #fernwayculottes de @twigandtale era perfecto. La blusa es un patrón base de toda la vida con volantes, corta eso si, para que “se me vea el ombligo mami que es verano” Ahora si comenzaré con la costura para invierno ❄️ aunque no se si voy un poco tarde 🤣

When I saw this fabric I knew I had another pair of culottes to make. I unfortunately forgot my lesson re: shorten the ties for short-length culottes, but it’ll be fine. Something funky happened to the length of the waistband (my dodgy cutting? My dodgy sewing?) so I had to add two extra pleats to the front, but very pleased with myself that that was an obvious solution rather than freaking out and making a mess of it as I probably would have a year ago. Stoked to have another pair, as we hide in the shade on another sweltering day. I adore the deep deep pockets on these. #TTfernwayculottes #twigandtale

#memademay2024 Day 26. We snapped this on the way to Newcastle this morning. #ttfernwayculottes in printed linen from @spotlightstores. Comfy for sitting in the car all day. #mmm24
