Summer vibes 🧡 Another hacked #roscoedress. It feels goood on a hot day 🌞 This one without ruffles, extended sides to mid calf and rounded hem. I like this pattern so much, many possible mods! This is such a kovely fabric, stripey double gauze, not very crinckled type. Found it in my fabric stash 😁 #roscoedresshack #truebiasroscoe #truebias #truebiaspatterns #ithaspockets #imadethis #handmadedress #bohodress #sewist #sewingportugal #sewingforsummer

😍 we are so in love with this #truebiasroscoe blouse that our customer Jane Merks made. These Japanese fabrics from Sevenberry look so great together this patchwork layout looks amazing. #nelsonstitchlab @truebias

Just in time for the arrival of summer weather, another @truebias Roscoe top, hacked to have a front opening. I used a beautifully drapey viscose from @fabricgodmother , and know that I’ll get a lot of wear out of this over the summer. #truebias #roscoe #tbroscoe #truebiasroscoe #fabricgodmother #fabricgodmotherfabrics #sewover50 #sewover50may2025 #calgarysews #imakemyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewersofinstagram #yycsews #albertasews

#memademay holiday. I made this cover up using #truebiasroscoe pattern by @truebias. Alterations were leaving off the ties and omitting the frill as I only had 2 metres of this embroidered voile from @rainbowfabrickilburn so I used the longest length as I’m 5ft3in. #isewmyownclothes #isewmyownclothes #sewersofinstagram👗✂️ #isew #sewer #sewers#sewersgonnasew

And last, but certainly not least, we have our final ‘Floral Hero’ showcase today 🤩 Cloth Edit recently teamed up with the fabulous @northernsewlsisters to promote our exclusive ‘Floral Hero’ Linen Silk range. They each chose the colourway which perfectly suited their tastes & sewed up a blouse as part of last month’s Sew April Blouse challenge. So here’s Ruan @theyorkshiresewgirl who looks bold and beautiful in the Magenta & Persimmon Orange colourway of Floral Hero 🩷🧡 Ruan sewed up the @truebias Roscoe Blouse, a pattern that’s had a bit of a cult following in the sewing community! It’s an oversized garment with a gathered neckline and raglan sleeves, while the front is finished with a centre slit and pretty neckties. It can also be made as a dress by adding a ruffle to the bottom. What do you think of Ruan’s finished blouse? Check out the @northernsewlsisters YouTube channel as they have two videos going into lots of details about their blouse makes. And also head over to @truebias to check out their extensive range of patterns! Lastly, head to the Cloth Edit website to shop our exclusive Linen Silk range ~ you’re sure to find a design that’s perfectly ‘you’ 🤩 #ClothEdit #Cloth_Edit #TrueBias #TrueBiasRoscoe #Linen #SewingWithLinen #ExclusiveFabric #SewAprilBlouse25

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you’re having a great day so far. This is my pick up my new to me car outfit. @truebias patterns all around today. #truebiasroscoe top and my favorite pants in the world, #truebiaslanderpants. I got super fancy with this pair and made the pockets go inside instead of the instructions led outside patch pockets. The fit is perfect because I took the time with making muslins to make these pants perfectly mine. The pants fabric comes from @blendedthreadfabrics I used their woven cotton base for the green linen look pattern. The top is #cobracorsage by @ladymcelroyfabrics on a white background. Someday I am going to design a fabric equally beautiful and dynamic. 😍

#memademay Day 15 just realised I hadn’t take a pic so far today! Wearing my #closetcoresasha pants, made in #minervaexclusivefabric, with a #truebiasroscoe #memademay2025. #isew #sewing #isewmyownclothes #sewover50

#memademay #ootd is another #truebiasroscoe top. The leggings were purchased a long time ago from Fabletics. The fabric was purchased by now defunct Joannns so of course, I made my own. I have been working on this pattern for a while so this was great inspiration to get these butterflies out in to the real world! i would recommend making this top or dress in @spoonflower ‘s Poly Crepe de Chine. It’s light and airy and with this dark print, it would be opaque. Here’s the link https://bit.ly/43rZwcR Please tag me when you use this beautiful fabric! #designsbydeon

#memademay It’s reset day for me🧘🏼‍♀️so my go-to top is #truebiasroscoe by @truebias. The fabric is from Joann’s (sadly no longer available) so I quickly made my own version today here it is!🎉 http://bit.ly/43b5MV0 available on @spoonflower the skort is my most recent Costco purchase. #designsbydeon

So far I’ve learned from #memademay this year that I’m the reason there is so much laundry 🙋‍♀️ Today’s (second) outfit is a Roscoe blouse by @truebias in a rayon challis from @minervadotcom. I love how flowy and comfortable this top is. I ended up tucking it in, but I don’t think it has to be depending on which bottoms you’re wearing. #memademay2025 #memadeeveryday #imakemyownclothes #imadethis #makersmovement #sewistofinstagram #sewsewsew #sewingisfun #truebiasroscoe #truebiaspatterns #minervamakes #minervamakers #sewover40 #sewists

#memademay day 5. My comfy #truebiasroscoe blouse in blue double gauze and white cotton lace trim. This pattern was great to make and is great to wear ❤️ I have 2 more on my "sewing wish list" (it's a rather big list so calling it a to-do list would feel too daunting 😂). Ok it's late and I'm tired, bye 👋 #memademay2025 #memade #sewing #memadeblouse

Here is my entry for the #sewaprilblouse25 sewing challenge, hosted by @cloth_edit and @sewn_on_the_tyne . After much consideration, I opted for the blouse version of the @truebias Roscoe. I’ve made countless versions of the dress, and thought it about time I made the blouse! . The fabric I have chosen is a stunning viscose lawn I bought last autumn from @guthrieghani; it is quite possibly the most beautiful viscose I have ever bought (and a complete delight to sew with!). . I am so happy with my final blouse - expect to see it a lot: I am wearing it at every opportunity! 🤣 . . . . #memade #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #imakemyownclothes #sewing #sewingchallenge #slowfashion #blouse #springdressing #truebias #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoe #indiesewingpattern #roscoeblouse #millenialsewist #sewingcommunitychallenge

My final entry for #sewAprilBlouse25 hosted by @cloth_edit and @sewn_on_the_tyne! I picked up this lovely light teal viscose during a trip home over a year ago. I’ve always been a bit intimidated by viscose—love the drape, not the handling—but I recently discovered the magic of starch, and it made the fabric so much easier to work with! I made the #TrueBiasRoscoe dress last year, so a blouse version felt like the natural next step. This time I sewed a size 0 and raised the neckline by 1.5 inches. #truebiaspatterns #memake #HandmadeWardrobe #petitesewing

I’ve been sewing a lot this spring! This is the #truebiasroscoe in a very rustic type cotton gauzy fabric from @moodfabrics . The Roscoe is really loose so I cut the smallest size . It looks best in my opinion ticked in . It feels too boxy tucked out for me . I used elastic on the arms because this fabric was so loose woven it was hard to gather it . This is a nice casual top pattern and easy to sew . I’d like to try it in another fabric soon! #sewaprilblouse25

I made this blouse a few weeks ago and thought I'd show you all! It's a @truebias #truebiasroscoe made using a beautiful block print cotton from @wovenstoriestextiles I have used elastic in the sleeve cuffs and cut the length at lower hip. I also made a nice deep chunky hem. I love wearing this beautiful boho style blouse with jeans. #sewingproject #ilovesewing #maker#sewing #handmadesofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #isewedthis #memade #sewmyownwardrobe #sewingproject #melbournesews #sewover50march2025 #sew50visible #sewingcotton #colour

Finally photographed my #truebiasroscoe size 4 made from Nerida Hansen subway tiles in cerise, ecovero viscose. The hem was very hard to level but the fabric is lovely to wear! #rosalindsews #sewaprilblouse25 @sewn_on_the_tyne @cloth_edit

Anyone else take pictures and forget to post? Only taken over a month and half. Another pattern I'm late to the party on, but finally made the @truebias Roscoe. It came together really easily and was a pleasure to sew. However, I do feel for me it looks better with a belt on, so I'm thinking of adding some waist ties to my next one. Yep, I'm already planning another as it's comfy to wear.

A folksy, loose fitting dress & my 4th version of the @truebias Roscoe dress/top pattern, this time making the shorter dress version. My last make of 2024, this dress has already had lots of wear and feels very ‘me’ 🌻 - Fabric is a gorgeous viscose twill from @fabricgodmother - - - #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoe #roscoedress #diywardrobe #slowfashion #imakemyclothes #memadewardrobe #sewing #dressmaking

Ask anyone in my family and they’ll say I say everything is my favorite. So when I say “that’s my favorite!” no one believes me. But I mean it this time, this fabric and pattern pairing is my favorite! 🤩 this is my first time making this pattern as a shirt and not a dress but it is a winner every time. Definitely a repeater pattern for me. I barely squeezed this shirt out of a remnant I got and I’m so happy about the pattern placement even though I wasn’t trying to get that flower in the front!

My beloved #roscoedress. I can not get to many of them. This gorgeous viscose is totally fall/winter appropriate. I just lengthened the ruffle a tiiiny bit.

Hot off the machine- #sewingproject #2 for #2023 is the @truebias #roscoedress in a simply gorgeous #rayon from @spotlightstores . Firstly- the pattern. This is only the second actual dress I’ve made from this pattern- I’ve made a few of the blouses. The first one I’d printed the pattern incorrectly so the scale was all off. So if required mega adjustments- so printed it again. This pattern is so simple and comes together so quickly. This one is the tunic length with 2 inches added. It’s a good dress to wear in winter too with tights and boots and works well with belts and long line cardigans or coats. Sized down to an 8 for this one as I very rarely wear such loose dresses and wanted a closer fit. But I plan to swan and float around in it 😀 Now to the fabric. This gorgeous rayon is from the amazing #artist Megan Nampijinpa Kantamarra and the print is called #marapintidreaming @spotlightstores do such great collabs with artists and we all benefit! I’ve scraps leftover from this project to make a blouse or top of some sort. Not sure what yet! #firstnations #firstnationsartist #firstnationsart #memade #memadeeveryday #ilovesewing #ilovesewing✂️❤️ #memadewardrobe #roscoeblouseanddress #truebiasroscoe #truebiaspatterns

Finished my second @truebias #roscoeblouse last night! I made it almost exactly as written but raised the front slit a little as with the other one I have I always feel slightly uncomfortable without a top underneath. I also added a little length to both the body and arms as usual (#tallpeopleproblems ). I am completely in love with this fabric, it’s a silk noil from @sistermintaka . It feels incredibly luxurious, lightweight and flowy but still with that slightly slubby, rustic finish. I feel like the overall effect of this top is maybe a little piratey/robin hood but I’m here for it #patternrepeat #truebiasroscoe #truebiaspatterns #roscoeblouseanddress #weremenintights #arr

I have been inspired by the July Burda magazine cover from last year but never got to sew this pattern until I recently found the Roscoe in my stash. Both patterns looked so similar and since I have already made one Roscoe blouse recently I was more than ready to sew the dress version. The right kind of fabric manifested itself at the local thrift store just in time. . . . #fashiononthesofafriday #roscoeblouseanddress #truebiasroscoe #sewover50 #brightsewing #sewhappycolor #sewstripes #sewingsummerdresses #isewmyownclothes

To think that I spent my whole childhood avoiding feminine clothes 🙈 I'm wearing the @truebias #roscoedress in a size 6. I've seen a few hacks where it's shirred at the waist, so I gave it a try. It was my first time doing it and the shirring is definitely not neat, but no-one can see that! The slit on the neckline is too low for my liking, so I'll have to keep note for next time I sew this. The fabric is a viscose challis pitched from @poundfabrics #petitesewing #sewistsofinstagram #memadewardrobe #memake #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #truebiaspatterns

I present to you: a #truebiasroscoedress with a 10cm longer ruffle. I love @mindthemaker’s viscose twills and would like to have this print in every color please.

From the first time I saw the Roscoe Dress from True Bias, I knew that I needed one. By May, I knew it would be my first day of school dress this year. I picked out a fabric for that…but let’s just say that plan went awry. I bought this dress with a different plan in mind, but then I realized that this fabric was meant to be a Roscoe. I like Roscoe well enough. I made a size 6 in view C without the ruffle. If, no, when I make another (it’s going to be black cotton double gauze) I’ll go down a size. This one is a bit roomy, but it works. However, the pattern doesn’t have any waist shaping, and I like waist shaping. So I cut the dress at my natural waist, sewed it back together, and put elastic in. It also doesn’t have pockets as written, but I need pockets. In fact, I actually didn’t put pockets in, but after two of my closest friends called me out on that, I opened up the side seams and put pockets in. I wore it for the first day of school last week, and it was fabulous. But I didn’t get pictures until today. It has already been well complimented in its two outings. Overall, I’m very happy with this dress. As I said, I’ll definitely be revisiting this pattern. Pattern: Roscoe Dress (view C without the ruffle) from @truebias Fabric: Pink Springtime Saunter Cotton Poplin from @moodfabrics (The fabric is a very lightweight poplin if it is in fact a poplin.) #sewing #sewistsofinstagram #moodfabrics #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #yesithaspockets #memadewardrobe

Here it is . . . my #roscoedress by @truebias , made out of this gorgeous tencel linen fabric from @neridahansenfabrics. Love the statement print designed by @skinnylaminx ❤️❤️ Added a gathered skirt to the #roscoeblouse (shortened the length of the blouse) and used a contrasting plain black linen around the neckline and on the sleeves. Here I have teamed it with my RTW leather belt as I like a cinched in waist to show some shape. I did also make a plain black fabric tie belt to use for a more casual feel. Now for some warmer weather in Melbourne please ☀️☀️☀️ #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #truebiasroscoeblouse #roscoeblouse #roscoedresshack #roscoeblousehack #neridahansenfabrics #neridahansenprintandtextiles #neridahansen #skinnylaminx #sewistsofinstagram #sewingaustralia #sewingmelbourne #diyfashion #handmadewardrobe

overdue post from the winery in Umbria Saturday night! The views of the Italian countryside were absolutely incredible. I wore my new handmade @truebias Roscoe dress in View B made from gorgeous lightweights voile from @artgalleryfabrics that I bought at @stitchsewshop . #handmadewardrobe #imakemyclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #sewist #truebias #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #artgalleryfabrics

I LOVE this dress! Even though it’s totally not weather appropriate right now. And yes I had to stand in a wood to take these photos, and yes it was chilly. This pattern is the gorgeous #roscoedress by @truebias and the fabric is the dotty about dots in cinnamon by @ladymcelroyfabrics, bought from @wildflowerfabric. This pattern has honestly been one of my most enjoyable makes and the french seams everywhere are just *chefs kiss, chefs kiss, chefs kiss*!! I did not even know that you could do a french seam on the gathered ruffle seams. Every day is a school day and all that. But in all seriousness, I have already bought a more wintery fabric so I can make another immediately. As for adjustments, the only thing I did was add a couple of inches to the sleeves and switch out the cuffs for an elastic casing. I think I possibly made the casing too wide though as the sleeves are not quite as long as I’d like so I think I’ll add even more length next time. I’m all about those big floofy pirate sleeves. Oh shoot, I almost forgot, this is my entry for the #joyfulsleeveschallenge 😘 @sosewdressmaking #truebiaspatterns #truebias #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #ladymcelroy #ladymcelroyfabric #kylieandthemachine #indiesewing #indiesewingpattern

Here is my latest @minervadotcom make, where I was given this amazing @artgalleryfabrics rayon in exchange for a blogpost (link in bio for all the details) The @truebias #roscoedress pattern is such a satisfying make but if you’re not a fan of gathers then it might not be for you! This is version B and I took 2” off the main dress and 1” from the ruffle (I’m 5’2”) I also sized down from an 8 to a 6 after reading reviews online and I’m happy I did. Lots of room for Christmas cake and Quality Street but still feels a bit fancy 🥳💙 #artgalleryfabrics #truebiaspatterns #truebias #truebiasroscoedress #truebiasroscoe #medmadeeveryday #isewyousee

Roscoedress Der Sommer ist noch einmal zurückgekehrt und so zeige ich euch mein neues Roscoedress das sich ganz wunderbar bei der Hitze tragen lässt.

Schnittmuster: #roscoedress @truebias Stoff: Karierter Baumwollstoff secondhand . Summer has returned once again and so I show you my new Roscoedress which is wonderful to wear in the heat.

Have you tried sewing with double gauze? Treat them as you would a viscose and be careful not to stretch the fabric. The results will be well worth the extra effort. Our new Chelsea white floral is so pretty and it would be perfect for a blouse such as the True Bias Roscoe.

I made something that isn’t a bra- I desperately need to make some actual clothes so here is step one on that road. It’s a @truebias #roscoeblouse made from some very light and airy cheesecloth- hello 1970’s. No modifications to the pattern accept ditching the sleeve cuffs in favour of elastic and the centre front has a seam because I just didn’t have enough fabric to cut it in one piece. Next up has to be some trousers- I just can’t motivate myself to make them. #sew #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #sewover40 #sewing #sewingpatterns #indiesewingpattern #homesewn #memade #imadethis #blouse #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoeblouse

Excuse me while I go frolic in the meadows with all the flowers 💐. This is a very hacked #roscoeblouse by @truebias and I love it. The fabric is from @sewmesunshine.uk and it is the softesttttt thing ever. I think it’s a viscose twill if I remember correctly and I probably used around a metre and half since I still have some left over from the 2m. I’ve had this fabric in my stash for a wee while and just couldn’t decide what to make with it. So I got it into my head that I wanted a blouse with mahooosive sleeves and a button up front. You might remember me asking for recommendations on my story a couple of weeks ago but none of the pattern recommendations were really singing to me. So I decided to go back to my trusty #truebiasroscoe and just make a few modifications to it. So here goes: - I shortened the blouse version by 1.5 inches - I added 7 inches to the sleeve width - I extended the sleeves by 5 inches and narrowed the cuff significantly (but not so much I can’t squash my hand through) - I drafted a button placket for each side which was about 5cm wide for each pattern piece - I extended the neck binding piece to accommodate the placket pieces. - after all the effort of drafting the placket, I couldn’t be hooped making button holes so the whole thing is sewn shut and the buttons sewn on 🤷‍♀️ All in all I’m super happy with the result and think I might make another in a cotton lawn so the sleeves are extra statement. #givemeallthesleeves #sewmesunshine #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoeblouse #roscoeblousehack #bigsleeveenergy #frugalfrocks2021 #youcanhackit #indiepatternhack

I wish you could feel the suede-like buttery soft texture of this floaty black cupro from @rainbowfabrickilburn I used it for lining my Richmond Blazer and had enough left to squeeze out this #roscoeblouse from @truebias. I love its billowing shape and gathered cuffs. #blackcupro #blousepattern #blackblouse #cuprofabric #threequartersleeve #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoeblouse

Yet another @truebias #roscoeblouse, this time in a beautiful handprinted Indian cotton from @merchantandmills (from my birthday trip to the shop with @bouncyelf). Wish I'd done the cuffs the other way up to get the flowers from the border instead of the stripes, but otherwise pretty happy. I even remembered a @kylieandthemachine label and french seams throughout! #truebiasroscoe #truebiaspatterns #memadeshirt #merchantandmills #memadewardrobe #imakemyclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewstagram #sewistsoflondon

Happy July sewing friends 🤩☀️🌻! This is my second version of the #roscoedress by @truebias that I hadI cut out the end of last summer but never got to finish. I’m so glad I did because the dress feels so cool and comfy for the hot summer days to come. The fabric is a rayon I purchased last year @selfmade_com on our amazing trip to Berlin for a great price. Aside from lengthening the pattern, I added a waist tie which gives me the swishing effect I was looking for 💨🍃. . . . . #sewover50july #sewover40 #artteacherstyle #roscoedress #summerdresssewing #artteachervibes #truebias #truebiasroscoe

Day 12 of Me Made May and the Make it Weird prompt is “You have your life together (but you definitely don’t)”. I mean… as someone who intended to wake up early to clean before work but instead hit the snooze for two hours and barely made it out the door on time, I’m heavily emphasizing the “you don’t” part of the prompt. But this Sienna jacket feels like something that someone who has life put together would wear and I always feel more polished in a dress, like this Roscoe dress. #MeMadeMay2025 #MeMadeMayButMakeItWeird #MeMadeMayButMakeItWeirdDay12 #closetcoresienna #roscoedress #truebiasroscoe

Me Made May, day 6: book launch day! Some of you might know @florenceknapp_ from the old school days of sewing bloggers, and the early days of Instagram, when she went by Flossie Teacakes. I had the great fortune to befriend Florence on the internet, and then meet her in London in 2012. Swipe for some photos of our visit! Not a one is in focus because we were laughing too hard the whole dang time. 😂 Well Florence wrote a book that came out today, and to say this book is getting a lot of critical acclaim and international attention is a gross understatement. I pre-ordered my copy from my local bookstore, and with much glee went in today to pick it up! I cannot wait to read it! Huge congrats Florence on this monumental achievement! 🥂 As for my MMM outfit, I am wearing a favorite @truebias Roscoe Dress, made in @workroomsocial rayon. The dress was topped with my favorite @seamwork Audrey and of course using my same fav vintage bag and @smalllotco shoes which are largely cropped out of the video because I clearly don’t know how to do reels lol. #memademay #memademay2025 #truebiasroscoe #truebias #truebiaspatterns #workroomsocialfabrics

I'm not regular here, but will try to do better. Here's my #roscoedress pattern by #truebias in modified version, with ruffles. I made it exactly 1.5 years ago, in October 23, and it's been one of my favorite and most worn pieces. The fabric is beautiful viscose from #lalabaj_pracownia_tkanin Dress details: + size 8 ( my measurements put me in size 14), + added 10cm to the sleeves and finished them with elastic, + Cut bodice at shorten/lengthen line and added 2 tiers, each is *1.5 of the previous width, + Neckline slit teared after sometime, I just sewn it up, not the prettiest job And photos reveal the pile of fabrics and printed patterns ready for weekend 🫶 #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoe #roscoedresshack #imadethis #ithaspockets #ilovesewing✂️❤️ #costuraportugal #handmadeclothes #sewist #szycietozycie

Continuing with my hacks of the @truebias Roscoe blouse, decided to try this one with a ladder lace trim down the button bands and on the sleeve cuffs. For this one instead of adding 1.5” to the centre fronts, I cut separate button bands and cut the front pieces double as opposed to on the fold. I raised the neckline by 1.5cm, again following the blog/tutorial on Tessuti patterns. I also shortened the sleeves, as I wanted a more summery blouse. I kept the same curve at the hem. The ladder lace is inserted between the seams, really simple to do, but I love the effect. Fabric is a beautiful viscose from @thefabricbeehive its a @lisetailor fabric

Finished yesterday and couldn’t wait to wear it today, because I absolutely bloomin love this fabric. It’s a Nerida Hansen viscose from @lamazifabrics and the colours and print are devine 😍 Pattern is a hack of the @truebias Roscoe. I cut the front double and not on the fold. I added 1.5” to each centre front, to create the button placket. This was interfaced and folded twice at 5/8”. I also raised the neckline by 1.5cm. There is a blog on Tessuti patterns, showing exactly how to do it, which I followed, apart from I didn’t slash and spread the sleeves. I always size down for the Roscoe blouse, so beware this pattern comes up big.

Tired mirror selfie is the best this dress is going to get, I’ve worn it a couple times and it is so comfortable! I love it. This was my first time sewing with double gauze and it will not be my last. I lengthened the dress by about two inches and did the bias bindings by hand this time. This is a tried and true pattern, I always love it. ❤️ Pattern: #roscoedress by @truebias Fabric: @creativeupcycle925 . . . . . #truebiasroscoe #truebiaspatterns #isew #isewmyownclothes #ilovetosew #millenialsewing #sustainablefashion

It was my birthday Saturday, and it just so happened to coincide with bestie @jenifer_lake’s annual sparkle party ✨ I sewed up a dress in gold metallic lace, and on Friday night at 6pm, decided I hated it lol. It was too frumpy and I couldn’t salvage it. So I pivoted. I had some gold metallic linen from @fabricoutlet on hand, which sparkles a lot more in real life than it does in a photo, and whipped up two TNT patterns that I knew I could make quickly and well: the @annaallenclothing Pomona pants and the @truebias Roscoe blouse. I made both as written, with a couple short cuts: I just serged all the seams instead of sewing first and serging after, I skipped the decorative topstitching on the crotch seam and inseam on the pants, and on the blouse I did an elastic casing at the sleeve hem instead of the binding, which was honestly more for preference anyway, as I knew I wanted to push the sleeves up. I had both done, aside from the hem on the blouse and the elastic in the sleeve hem by 11pm. This is the joy of a TNT pattern! With time to spare, like any sewer would, I figured I had time for more, so on Saturday morning, I hand sewed a scattering of shiny sequins to the blouse for some extra sparkle. ✨ I’m going to cut those sequins off and put both of these garments into my closet for regular rotation. I love them! My headband is a rhinestone headband from target, with a big gift bow I found at @scrapsf glued to it. 🥂 I’m pictured here with sewing students turned friends, Shira and Rebecca, and mutual friend to us all, Siân, all in their sparkle glory! ✨ Here’s to another year! 🥂 #truebiasroscoe #roscoeblouse #truebiaspatterns #annaallenclothing #annaallenpomona

Here it is . . . my #roscoedress by @truebias , made out of this gorgeous tencel linen fabric from @neridahansenfabrics. Love the statement print designed by @skinnylaminx ❤️❤️ Added a gathered skirt to the #roscoeblouse (shortened the length of the blouse) and used a contrasting plain black linen around the neckline and on the sleeves. Here I have teamed it with my RTW leather belt as I like a cinched in waist to show some shape. I did also make a plain black fabric tie belt to use for a more casual feel. Now for some warmer weather in Melbourne please ☀️☀️☀️ #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #truebiasroscoeblouse #roscoeblouse #roscoedresshack #roscoeblousehack #neridahansenfabrics #neridahansenprintandtextiles #neridahansen #skinnylaminx #sewistsofinstagram #sewingaustralia #sewingmelbourne #diyfashion #handmadewardrobe

Just realised I haven’t shared my #closetcoresasha pants. I made these with @minervadotcom Cotton Sateen as my latest #minervaambassador post. Fabric was provided to me in return for a post on their blog as please head over to that for more details. These are so nice to wear and I wore them to the Knitting &Stitching show along with my new #truebiasroscoeblouse #isewmyownclothes #isew #sewing #sewover50 #minervamaker

#MeMadeMay2024 Day 11❣️ This is the #RoscoeBlouse by @truebias I used their tutorial to add a button placket. I also added a ruffle around the neck. It's made with woven cotton. The next slide shows a scarf I thrifted yesterday with my mum. The thrift store thought it was special because they had it in a glass cabinet, but it's just a poly Hermès knockoff 😊. . . #MeMadeMay #RoscoeBlouseHack #TrueBiasPatterns #TrueBias #TrueBiasRoscoeBlouse #ThreadcountFabrics #MidSizeFashion #MidSizeStyle #CottonBlouse

The best denim skirt! This is the @ninaleelondon Camden skirt. I used to have one I wore all the time but it was too small so I remade it in a size 12. I am so glad I did because I wear it once or twice a week, it’s such a wardrobe workhorse. This denim is brilliant and is from @threadquarters. I got some black there to make another. You’d get it easily out of 1mtr. Not much else I can say. I’m wearing it with my roscoe shirt. I love this BUT if I try to pose with my hands on my waist I look like Michael Flatley! #ninaleepatterns #ninaleecamden #ninaleecamdenskirt #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoeblouse #fabricgodmother #fgfabric #sewingbasics #denimskirt #threadquarters #memadeeveryday #memademay2023

Early walk in sunny Exeter this morning wearing my latest make #truebiasroscoeblouse This is my first entry for #sewaprilblouse24 and is made in one of the exclusive viscose linens from @minervadotcom. This wonderful challenge is hosted by @cloth_edit and @theyorkshiresewgirl and has lots of amazing sponsors. Fabric was gifted to me from Minerva in return for a blogpost which will be live on their site soon. #roscoeblouse @truebias #sewingchallenge #sewover50 #isewmyownclothes #minervaambassador

Have you tried sewing with double gauze? Treat them as you would a viscose and be careful not to stretch the fabric. The results will be well worth the extra effort. Our new Chelsea white floral is so pretty and it would be perfect for a blouse such as the True Bias Roscoe.

My first True Bias Roscoe blouse, a wearable toile, made from a local charity shop find. The fabric is a fine cotton and doesn’t probably have the best drape for a Roscoe. I wasn’t sure about the USA sizing and reading that it comes out big, went for a size 2 and it’s fine, although I might make the wrist bands larger next time. I don’t often post pics of my #memadewardrobe makes but I thought this fitted in well with #so50sustainablesewing . . . #truebias #roscoetop #roscoeblouse #handmadewardrobe #cotton #handmade #roscoe #truebiasroscoeblouse #sew #stitch #sewist #cottonlawn #charityshop #thrifting #thriftshop #sustainableliving #sewover50 #sewover50top #sewover50blouse #sew50sustainablesewing #charityshopfinds

#ilovelinen here are my favorite recent makes. Had to throw in the outtakes pics too. Modeling does not come natural to me. Obviously. 🤣 #truebiasroscoeblouse @truebias and @sewhouse7 #freerangeslacks The #roscoeblouse in a gorgeous linen @fabricsstorecom #fabricsstorecom that linen was a pleasure to sew! These pics are after they both came straight out of the dryer. I love those sleeves! ❤️❤️ The #freerangeslacks are also a linen from @fabricsstorecom love that pattern. This was meant to be my muslin. They were sew easy to make and they are THE most comfortable pants ever! ❤️❤️🙏🏼💪🏼❤️ #KellyGirlOriginals #ILoveSewing #IMakeMyOwnClothes #KellysSewing #SewOver50 #ilovetosew #isewlation #janome9400qcp #KGOriginals @truebias

Excuse me while I go frolic in the meadows with all the flowers 💐. This is a very hacked #roscoeblouse by @truebias and I love it. The fabric is from @sewmesunshine.uk and it is the softesttttt thing ever. I think it’s a viscose twill if I remember correctly and I probably used around a metre and half since I still have some left over from the 2m. I’ve had this fabric in my stash for a wee while and just couldn’t decide what to make with it. So I got it into my head that I wanted a blouse with mahooosive sleeves and a button up front. You might remember me asking for recommendations on my story a couple of weeks ago but none of the pattern recommendations were really singing to me. So I decided to go back to my trusty #truebiasroscoe and just make a few modifications to it. So here goes: - I shortened the blouse version by 1.5 inches - I added 7 inches to the sleeve width - I extended the sleeves by 5 inches and narrowed the cuff significantly (but not so much I can’t squash my hand through) - I drafted a button placket for each side which was about 5cm wide for each pattern piece - I extended the neck binding piece to accommodate the placket pieces. - after all the effort of drafting the placket, I couldn’t be hooped making button holes so the whole thing is sewn shut and the buttons sewn on 🤷‍♀️ All in all I’m super happy with the result and think I might make another in a cotton lawn so the sleeves are extra statement. #givemeallthesleeves #sewmesunshine #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoeblouse #roscoeblousehack #bigsleeveenergy #frugalfrocks2021 #youcanhackit #indiepatternhack

A finish! My first attempt at sewing the Roscoe Blouse from @truebias and it won’t be the last. A really enjoyable sew from start to finish. Talking of finishing - if I do say so myself, it’s rather beautifully finished, with French seams throughout and hand finished neck and cuff bindings. The fabric is a soft and light embroidered cotton cheesecloth from @legendtextiles which is perfect for warmer weather. A pretty sheer fabric but an M&S cool comfort vest beneath makes it suitable for work. Now it’s time to get on with sewing some white linen #pantsno1 that I need to be ready for next Wednesday. Happy Thursday, dear friends in my phone ☀️ #truebiasroscoeblouse #roscoeblouse #handmadeworkwardrobe #handmadewardrobe #sewover50 #slowfashion #plussizesewing

I made something that isn’t a bra- I desperately need to make some actual clothes so here is step one on that road. It’s a @truebias #roscoeblouse made from some very light and airy cheesecloth- hello 1970’s. No modifications to the pattern accept ditching the sleeve cuffs in favour of elastic and the centre front has a seam because I just didn’t have enough fabric to cut it in one piece. Next up has to be some trousers- I just can’t motivate myself to make them. #sew #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #sewover40 #sewing #sewingpatterns #indiesewingpattern #homesewn #memade #imadethis #blouse #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoeblouse

I think everyone has that one pattern that they keep on going back to time and time again . . . for me it’s the #roscoeblouse / #roscoedress by @truebias. I have made a couple of summer dress versions using this pattern, but this is my first winter one - simple hacks such as adding length to the sleeves (I used elastic in the cuffs), and adding a few gathered tiers to the length, makes this a great winter dress - styled with boots and a belt of course! Fabric is a spotted navy blue linen from @spotlightstores.

I wish you could feel the suede-like buttery soft texture of this floaty black cupro from @rainbowfabrickilburn I used it for lining my Richmond Blazer and had enough left to squeeze out this #roscoeblouse from @truebias. I love its billowing shape and gathered cuffs. #blackcupro #blousepattern #blackblouse #cuprofabric #threequartersleeve #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoeblouse

Day 30 MMM 2025. Early morning photo today , I love this #truebiasroscoedress . The colour is perfect for me . Not bad for a bed sheet . #memesemay2025#sewingmakesmehappy#isewmyclothes#saynotofastfashion#oppshopsareawesome #outfitrepeater#sewingthroughgrief

Day 26 of MMM 2025 . Please excuse everything especially my face . I got up early for the first time in months to exercise and now I’m really tired . Hopeing I can adjust back into it . It is so nice to have exercise ticked off in the morning and then I can just get on with my day . Usually means I can fit in sewing time which I really need at the moment . So full disclosure I did not wear this dress all day today but it’s on my body so it counts . I finished this #truebiasroscoedress today . I didn’t lengthen the arms because I was worried it would make the dress look strange . Really happy with the colour . This fabric was the flat sheet from my beds sheet set . I personally don’t use the flat sheet so it becomes a piece of fabric . #memademay2025#sewingmakesmehappy#isewmyclothes#outfitrepeater#saynotofastfashion#oppshopsareawesome#sewingthroughgrief

Day 23,24 and 25 of MMM 2025. Got off task a little . I knew I didn’t have a huge range of winter me mades but usually I get through . I just can’t push myself at the moment to wear things I don’t feel like wearing just to take a picture and say I did . I did wear a few bit and prices over the last few days though . A #georgeandgingerlittleblackbra . I am in the process of making a #truebiasroscoedress . This yellow exercise top is a #greenstylecreations pattern and today I wore my #graciesteelfoxieboxies . It is definitely showing me the items I need if I want to have more winter me mades that will get good use . The list is growing 🫣 I finally got back in my sewing dungeon. I had forgotten how long it takes to make a dress . I haven’t made anything substantial for months . I am trying to be patient and take it slowly so I don’t need to unpick anything . Hopefully 🤞 #memademay2025#sewingmakesmehappy#saynototfastfashion #outfitrepeater

Day 18 of MMM 2025. Another day of only Me made underwear . I’m pretty sure it was a pair of #stitchuponatimebunzies and a #petitestitcherycolby . Both made many moons ago . I did try these #truebiasroscoedress on though. Chosing the size for my next one . Will be making it in a colour that will get more use in my wardrobe . Feeling like I might need to do a big wardrobe clear out being realistic about if I will actually wear . Purely based on colour . #memademay2025#isewmyclothes#sewingmakesmehappy#saynotofastfashion#outfitrepeater

Day 19 of MMM 2025. Today I actuallly wore the #truebiasroscoedress I tried on yesterday . I don’t love her but I don’t hate her either . I do think I want to make the sleeves longer on my next one . Putting a jacket on is so frustrating ! The sleeves keep sliding up my arm and they aren’t long enough to get a hold of them properly . It’s so cold here at the moment . Clothes must be jacket friendly ! #memademay2025#sewingmakesmehappy#isewmyclothes#saynotofastfashion#outfitrepeater#oppshopsareawesome

To think that I spent my whole childhood avoiding feminine clothes 🙈 I'm wearing the @truebias #roscoedress in a size 6. I've seen a few hacks where it's shirred at the waist, so I gave it a try. It was my first time doing it and the shirring is definitely not neat, but no-one can see that! The slit on the neckline is too low for my liking, so I'll have to keep note for next time I sew this. The fabric is a viscose challis pitched from @poundfabrics #petitesewing #sewistsofinstagram #memadewardrobe #memake #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #truebiaspatterns

Another True Bias Roscoe dress, made in a great Indian block print fabric from @blackbirdfabrics This dress was a last minute make for a trip to Italy, and got lots of wear. #truebias #truebiasroscoedress #blackbirdfabrics #calgarysews #imakemyownclothes #sewing #sewistsofinstagram #sewersofinstagram👗✂️ #sewersofinstagram #sewover50 #sewover50october24 #albertasews

From the first time I saw the Roscoe Dress from True Bias, I knew that I needed one. By May, I knew it would be my first day of school dress this year. I picked out a fabric for that…but let’s just say that plan went awry. I bought this dress with a different plan in mind, but then I realized that this fabric was meant to be a Roscoe. I like Roscoe well enough. I made a size 6 in view C without the ruffle. If, no, when I make another (it’s going to be black cotton double gauze) I’ll go down a size. This one is a bit roomy, but it works. However, the pattern doesn’t have any waist shaping, and I like waist shaping. So I cut the dress at my natural waist, sewed it back together, and put elastic in. It also doesn’t have pockets as written, but I need pockets. In fact, I actually didn’t put pockets in, but after two of my closest friends called me out on that, I opened up the side seams and put pockets in. I wore it for the first day of school last week, and it was fabulous. But I didn’t get pictures until today. It has already been well complimented in its two outings. Overall, I’m very happy with this dress. As I said, I’ll definitely be revisiting this pattern.

#mmm22 #memademay Day 2 Wearing my #truebiaspatterns #truebiasroscoedress which has all the best of the 90s vibes for me. I am pretty sure I would’ve gravitated towards the dress in high school and here I am at age 46 still wearing it. Definite secret pajamas but I also feel put together. This may, I am just wearing the clothes that I feel like wearing and posting about why I like wearing them. I am not going to worry about repeats because that will just show the things that I like to wear the most that I made. Also, I cleaned out my closet and got rid of a lot of my clothes when we moved this year so I don’t have as many of my me mades left anymore. Goal to sew one or two new things this month.

I’ve been a bit slack with posting, so there will be some catch-ups coming along very soon. Here is another @truebias #roscoedress I made for DD2 a couple of weeks ago. I need to make the next one about another inch shorter in the bodice to sit where she wants it to, but this one is very much loved and has already been worn multiple times. I hacked the bodice to be about 3 inches shorter, made it short-sleeved and added the sleeve ruffle. The skirt tiers are 3 inches, 6 inches & 9inches wide. The bottom tier ended up with quite a deep hem, so as a result the bottom two look more similar. The fabric is a mustard cotton gingham from @spotlightstores #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #imadeit #imadethis

My #makesforthemonth for October are the #tillyandthebuttonsindigo #truebiasroscoedress #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop and #sewmesomething #rosalindpyjamas bottoms. My favourite from this selection is the Indigo dress. I love the pattern and the fabric equally! The fabric for the 2 dresses came from #rainbowfabrickilburn and for the sagebrush top from #guthrieghani #sewover50 #imakemyclothes #wearwhatmakesyouhappy #memadeeveryday

overdue post from the winery in Umbria Saturday night! The views of the Italian countryside were absolutely incredible. I wore my new handmade @truebias Roscoe dress in View B made from gorgeous lightweights voile from @artgalleryfabrics that I bought at @stitchsewshop . #handmadewardrobe #imakemyclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #sewist #truebias #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #artgalleryfabrics

I LOVE this dress! Even though it’s totally not weather appropriate right now. And yes I had to stand in a wood to take these photos, and yes it was chilly. This pattern is the gorgeous #roscoedress by @truebias and the fabric is the dotty about dots in cinnamon by @ladymcelroyfabrics, bought from @wildflowerfabric. This pattern has honestly been one of my most enjoyable makes and the french seams everywhere are just *chefs kiss, chefs kiss, chefs kiss*!! I did not even know that you could do a french seam on the gathered ruffle seams. Every day is a school day and all that. But in all seriousness, I have already bought a more wintery fabric so I can make another immediately. As for adjustments, the only thing I did was add a couple of inches to the sleeves and switch out the cuffs for an elastic casing. I think I possibly made the casing too wide though as the sleeves are not quite as long as I’d like so I think I’ll add even more length next time. I’m all about those big floofy pirate sleeves. Oh shoot, I almost forgot, this is my entry for the #joyfulsleeveschallenge 😘 @sosewdressmaking #truebiaspatterns #truebias #truebiasroscoe #truebiasroscoedress #ladymcelroy #ladymcelroyfabric #kylieandthemachine #indiesewing #indiesewingpattern

Here is my latest @minervadotcom make, where I was given this amazing @artgalleryfabrics rayon in exchange for a blogpost (link in bio for all the details) The @truebias #roscoedress pattern is such a satisfying make but if you’re not a fan of gathers then it might not be for you! This is version B and I took 2” off the main dress and 1” from the ruffle (I’m 5’2”) I also sized down from an 8 to a 6 after reading reviews online and I’m happy I did. Lots of room for Christmas cake and Quality Street but still feels a bit fancy 🥳💙 #artgalleryfabrics #truebiaspatterns #truebias #truebiasroscoedress #truebiasroscoe #medmadeeveryday #isewyousee

Roscoedress Der Sommer ist noch einmal zurückgekehrt und so zeige ich euch mein neues Roscoedress das sich ganz wunderbar bei der Hitze tragen lässt.

Schnittmuster: #roscoedress @truebias Stoff: Karierter Baumwollstoff secondhand . Summer has returned once again and so I show you my new Roscoedress which is wonderful to wear in the heat.

Enjoying my newly made @truebias #truebiasroscoedress which is unbelievably comfy and perfect for fall. Thanks to my sweet mom for the beautiful fabric!

Finished this @TrueBias #RoscoeDress in time for a rare trip to the outside world to pick up some crafting supplies from @GatherHere (thanks for the back alley backdrop 😆). This dress was made with @teliofashion *inhale* silky noil washed viscose linen slub in Deep Teal. I’m so in love with this color 🥰 I sewed a size 6. I’m 5’4” and wanted the dress to hit right around my knees when the waist was taken in, so I added 2 inches to View B and sewed the View C ruffle onto it. I added pockets(!) and made a bias tape “belt” to take the waist in. I am thinking to add an elastic casing to make it easier to wear, but we’ll see if I actually get around to it. This dress was a challenge for me, with all the gathering and binding, but it was worth the time and effort spent. I enjoyed the process so much, I can’t wait to make another one! {Photo IDs: The first photo has an Asian American female wearing both a face mask and a #TrueBiasRoscoeDress holding one side of the skirt up to show off the bottom ruffles. The second photo is another photo of the front of the dress, and the third photo is of the back of the dress, which also shows off the ends of the bias binding tape that’s been tied to the waist into a bow.} #TelioFabrics #TelioSilkyNoilWashedViscoseLinenSlub #WearADamnMask #Sewist #NoviceSewist #MakeSomething #Sewing #IMadeThis #handmade #RoscoeDressHack

2021 is turning out to have some more unexpected twists for me (us), namely that our marriage was expedited from 2022 to now. We’re still going to have the big wedding in Finland next year, but we had to let practicality dictate some of our plans for now. Visa problems *sigh* 🙃 I never planned on making my wedding dress, but with planning a last-minute wedding with 1 month to spare, I felt this was a chance for me to regain some control in this chaos. Time management was certainly an issue in finishing this dress, and it didn’t help that I got my second COVID-19 vaccine dose the night before our wedding (I work in healthcare and didn’t have any say in my scheduling 🤷🏻‍♀️). Those second shot aches and headache (plus chills and low-grade fever) are no joke, but it was still worth it to get it. So, our schedule for the wedding day got pushed back quite a bit, and I skipped hemming it to save time (forgive me, craftsnark) but we have really, really lovely friends who rolled right along with the changes (and who won’t judge me for my sewing sins). We got married at the park down the street by a dear friend, and with a small group of friends in support (basically our pod). They surprised us by decorating the dock and buying us balloons. That almost brought me to tears. The rest of the day went marvelously. I wish our parents could have been in attendance, but let’s hope that all goes as planned for Finland 2022! I knew I wanted to use a familiar dress pattern. After some research, I was very much inspired by a vintage Vogue dress (#vogue2053) and by @megmadesewing for my version of a @TrueBias #RoscoeDress. I used a @previewtextile silk crepe de chine (color 102) and lined the bodice with lucidum white bemberg rayon, both from @moodfabrics. I added pockets, skipped the ties, & sewed an elastic waistband onto the dress. This was my first time working with such a slippery material, but I’m so glad I got a lot of use out of my new @berninausa walking foot. It made French seams a lot more manageable. Though it’s not perfect, I was still so happy and proud to wear it. I have plans to eventually dye it, so I can get more use out of it. (Photo ID in comments)

Roscoe dress from @truebias completed today - view B. Absolutely love it! The sew-along on the True Bias website was the best to ensure I was on the right track for this novice - think I need to only sew when sew- alongs are available as it really helped me to understand exactly what I was doing, more than just the instructions could ever provide! All completed with ‘French Seams’ the inside looks just as good as the outside. Now to decide whether to make another one, maybe the longer version, or try something new!!
