A little palette cleanser after the massive quilt project (I get that it was a cot size quilt but it was massive for me 😂) I made myself some @megannielsenpatterns #mnacacia a few months ago and they’re my favourite underwear. To work my way through the scrap bag though I really needed smaller pants - so these are age 6 for the 5.5 year old they fit beautifully. I’ve already got the next pair cut out and have should be on to make a bundle with all the scraps I have. Pattern is @megannielsenpatterns #mnminiacacia Watermelon jersey from @fabricgodmother a while ago and the awesome fold over elastic is from @littletshabdash #scrapbuster #sewistsofinstagram #sewists #sewingforkids #sewingforgirls #megannielsenpatterns #ecosewing #imakemykidsclothes #sewingwithjersey #fabricgodmother #littletshaberdashery #sewingknickers #sustainablesewing

I’ve made more handmade knickers, this time for my daughter 💓 I used the free Mini Acacia pattern by Megan Nielsen Patterns to sew up this little collection. The fabrics I used are cotton jersey fabrics leftover from dresses I made for my daughter last year. She still wears the dresses so can now enjoy wearing matching knickers with them 😍💁🏼‍♀️ The Mini Acacia pattern is a great little pattern that sews up speedily. It has a neat way of sewing the gusset too, using the burrito method. I am finding knickers to be a fab satisfying and speedy sewing project - and a great way to use up scraps too 👌💕 Pattern: @megannielsenpatterns #mnminiacacia Fabric: leftover cotton jersey scraps #freepattern #megannielsenpatterns #mnacacia #handmadewithlove #handmadewardrobe #sewingforgirls #sewingforkids #sewersgonnasew #sewersofinstagram #ilovetosew #handmadeisbetter

Ahhh a me made head to toe is so satisfying. A Buy Nothing group friend gifted me 1.5 yards of soft cotton canvas fabric from her curtain project. I played pattern Tetris and squeezed out and pair of Opal Shorts and Bucket hat out it. 🎉🧵🪡 Top to bottom me made: Bucket Hat: #psbuckethat from @patternscout T-shit: #soiesmatshirt from @sewoveritlondon Shorts: #mnopal from @megannielsenpatterns Undies: #mnacacia (TMI?)😆 #isewmyownclothes #memadewardrobe #sewing #sew #sewistofinstagram #asiansewists #petitesewists

Here’s my entry for #sew500, hosted by @sewhayleyjane. About three years ago I started making underwear from fabric scraps. The excellent #mnacacia free pattern and #comoxtrunks have been tweaked and personalised until I’m now at the point of having both our drawers stuffed with fully handmade undies ☺️ They’re usually made from remnants or scraps from other projects, or cut up garments that have served their time and need a new life. Only downside had been enabling my growing label addiction, which I can live with. Sorry not sorry M&S multipacks. #newcrafthousefabric #kylieandthemachinelabels #abakhanfabrics #imakemyclothes

Thanks to @nelliejoans for hosting the embroidery challenge for the #inspirejulychallenge! I had so much fun doing this. I used a simple running stitch on some bra tulle, following the natural lines of the tulle to create some geometric diagonal lines and diamond shapes. It took me a while, but I was quite pedantic about it and literally counted out the holes between rows to make sure they were even 😁 then whipped up some @megannielsenpatterns Acacia briefs to match. Love this set so much!! See my grid for some modelled pics. . . . #orangelingerieboylston #orangelingerie #megannielsenpatterns #mnacacia #boylstonbra #acaciabriefs #embroiderychallenge #embroideredlingerie #sewistsofinstagram #sewingchallenge #sewingismysuperpower #sewersgonnasew #handmadelingerie #lingeriesewing #sewinglingerie #bramaking #allchestswelcome

Fourth and final entry for the #inspirejulychallenge complete! This week was embroidery week with @nelliejoans, and I followed her tutorial to embroider on some white bra tulle to make this @orange_lingerie Boylston bra. I have to say, this challenge really opened my eyes to the possibilities of embroidery in lingerie making - it's like making your own fabric! While it took me longer than expected, doing the embroidery was a great mindfulness exercise, especially with the simple design I chose. I'll post some more detailed shots of the embroidery too 🙂 . . . #orangelingerieboylston #orangelingerie #megannielsenpatterns #mnacacia #boylstonbra #acaciabriefs #embroiderychallenge #embroideredlingerie #sewistsofinstagram #sewingchallenge #sewingismysuperpower #sewersgonnasew #handmadelingerie #lingeriesewing #sewinglingerie #bramaking #allchestswelcome

What better way to spend a Friday night than on the couch, doing some embroidery while binge watching the Babysitter's Club on Netflix? 🤷 I'm going for a simple geometric design of red diamonds on white bra tulle, which I'm aiming to make into an @orange_lingerie Boylston bra with some matching red @megannielsenpatterns underwear. Thanks to @nelliejoans for the great tutorial on this! . . . #inspirejulychallenge #lingeriesewingchallenge #embroidery #embroiderychallenge #embroideredlingerie #orangelingerie #orangelingerieboylston #boylstonbra #megannielsenpatterns #mnacacia #acaciabriefs #sewingwip #sewingplans #sewinglingerie #bramaking #sewistsofinstagram #sewersgonnasew #handmadewardrobe #handmadelingerie #sewingismysuperpower

I made an autumnal set to add to my autumn wardrobe. One of my priorities this year is to use what I have before buying more and this set is a testament to that. The lace was purchased on sale from Backstreet Bargains last year and from memory cost me about $2.50 on clearance. The foam, elastics, rings and sliders, power mesh, hooks and eyes and bra tulle were all from my stash. The orange knit was leftover from another project, the blue spot tulle which was added to cover the powernet was harvested from a new unworn pair of underwear from rtw set that I didn’t like and the underwires were upcycled from an old bra. Oh and the bow I think was a gift with purchase from way back. This was a pretty much cobbled together set from what I had. Once again I used Orange Boylston for the bra and Megan Neilson Acacia for the underwear because if it isn’t broken why fix it 🤷🏼‍♀️. #sewchch #sewnz #sewover50march #sewover50mar #boylstonbra #orangelingerie #mnacacia #andreas_sewn_style

I love this detail that @beata.sews created for the bridge of the Lansdowne bra.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ Finished up this pretty lingerie set recently. It's a white tulle orange_lingerie Lansdowne bra, and white mesh megannielsenpatterns Acacia briefs. I added a little crossover detail to the bridge, and echoed this with a crossover back on the briefs. The bridge detail is pretty subtle when worn, but I love it! There are a few things I'd change next time (stabilising the bridge more and changing the way I do the upper cups), but it's totally wearable!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #orangelingerie #orangelingerielansdowne #megannielsenpatterns #mnacacia #acaciabriefs #megannielsen #megannielsenacacia #lingeriesewing #lingeriemaking #isewmyownclothes #isewlingerie #isewbras #bramaking #brasewing #sewingunderwear #handmadewardrobe #imakemyclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewsewsew #sewingismysuperpower #sewersgonnasew #makersgonnamake #isewlation ( #📷 @beata.sews )

the Great Underwear Quest: Part 1 🩲 i will try to be BRIEF but let me know if you want more in depth discussion on my story later! i’m on a quest to find (or draft??? 😯) a pair of MY perfect undies, so i’m critiquing based on my personal preferences for my specific body. reasons for the selections: i like a bikini cut style, i think a high leg looks best on me, and i don’t like them cheeky for everyday wear (because of the wedgie factor). you will NEVER catch me in a boyshort!!!! NOTES ON PATTERNS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE 1️⃣ &2️⃣ #peachyundies by @coolstitches : these are my favorites!! this free pattern comes with an even higher rise option. i think this style looks very good and it’s comfortable! will absolutely make more 🌟✅ 3️⃣ #stevieknickers by @paper_theory : 14. free pattern. i like these! the front is nice, the back goes up VERY HIGH. these have a lot of butt coverage. i like the front of these a lot! i will use these as the base if i draft my own. ✅ 4️⃣ #mnacacia by @megannielsenpatterns : 14. free pattern. these are fine! something is just not quite right. ⏸️ 5️⃣ #sozoundies by @sozoblog : 44. free. good intro to fold over elastic, but way too hipster for my taste. does something weird to my hip i don’t like that is hard to see here. ❌ 6️⃣ #lotuspanties by @thehandmadekind : L. paid. took a gamble on this because i wanted to try fabric bindings, but there were no pics of it on an actual person. these have a few other views including a thong. i made the view with the most coverage, and it is still REALLY cheeky and a bit tight. ❌ 7️⃣ #janepanties by @thehandmadekind : L. paid. the sizing for this pattern is OFF. the waist is WAY TOO SMALL and the only way i can even put them on is because the elastic immediately ripped in several places. this was really disappointing because i liked the shape. need to size up twice. again, there were no pictures on people. ❌❌ which undies should i make next?? i KNOW i want to make the #christinehaynesdune set! basically all fabrics are @blackbirdfabrics!! xxxxxxxxxx #sewhonestfeedback #blommatank #memademay2023 #memademay #diyunderwear #isewmyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #patterncomparison

I never thought I'd be showing my pants on Instagram 😂 These are the Megan Nielson Acacia briefs, and it's a free pattern. I made them using leftover jersey I bought from #stitchybee for my Lark Tee which I managed to squeeze out of 1 meter. The picot elastic I already had in my stash. A great way to use up scraps, I'll definitely be making more. #larktee #grainlinelarktee #cottonjersey #mnacacia #megannielsonpattern #freepattern #freepatterns #sew #sewing #sewmyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewover50 #sewover60 #sewscottish #janomemakes #janomemakesuk #janomeuk

B asked for a 'brown' sweater last year, which I managed to sneak in some colour blocking for my own selfish reasons 😆 But alas, she has not given up on her vision all this time... so here it is - the ALL-brown 'Doggy' sweater, complete with spots and a collar tag to match her favourite role model 🐕 She did complain that there was 'not enough detail' on the tag, but I had to draw the line somewhere 🤪😆 A few more knit basics will be needed very soon for the 7yo (the seemingly ongoing growth spurt!), but firstly some essential comfy undergarments... I even managed to try out a couple of new-to-me patterns for ol' me 🤭 I have sewn many for B, but I'm positively excited about how mine have turned out... hopefully this will kickstart some much-needed motivation to start sewing for myself! 🤞🏻😊 Sweater pattern: Rowan Sweater hack of the tried-and-true Rowan Tee (free pattern!) @misusupatterns 🌼 I omitted some length in the bodice and sleeves, and added cuffbands and waistband to compensate 🌼 Fabric is Cotton French Terry @homecraft.textiles (which was my best impulse fabric purchase from 3 years ago and still going, because *extra wide*) Underwear patterns: Child's simple brief option from #LLKCastella @littlelizardking 🌼 Women's #MNAcacia (also free!) @megannielsenpatterns and #SHinesArccosUndies @sophie_hines (last pictured).

This is an entry into #sewfruity25, a sewing challenge set up by #blossomsandwich . Yvette, if I win a prize I live in Australia ☺️ The fabric for these Megan Neilson Acacia undies was leftover from my entry for last year, a spotlight cotton Jersey. #MNAcacia

So my sewjo seems to be coming back, after a long break 😊 Started with the elastic in my stash, dipped into the scraps tub, and made these in half an afternoon (slow sewer). Very satisfying, and I'll be able to match my undies with my dress this summer, which always amuses me. #sewingwithscraps #Mnacacia

ACACIA MN2402 PATTERN #megannielsenpatterns 🤗 Aah.. la couleur originale est bien différente ! Un patron sympa, sorti il y a longtemps, et vite cousu à la surjeteuse avec du biais élastiqué 11mm et une chute de jersey. #acaciapattern #sewingwithjersey #mnacacia #faireetdéfairecestcoudre #acaciaunderwear #isewmyownclothes #jecouds #couturefacile

Late posting these #mnacacia, made them a week or so ago. I’m very pleased with the dark brown and dark teal elastics which match the less obvious colours in the fabric - a remnant of viscose jersey from @guthrieghani

Recently had a lovely break in Italy with @textileholidaysitaly and made these #mnacacia, enjoyed the views in Umbria, and a Dali sculpture in Tuscany. It was a shame we had to leave

I made a matching underwear set for myself. The bra is Mara bralette by Studio Costura. This is the third time making the bralette. On the first version I did not do any pattern adjustments and the bralette was ok, but the cups were too far apart. On the second version I took out a bit from the center but those ended up beeing too small. Now I took a bigger cup size and then removed again a bit from the center. Also added some lenght to the back piece. The bralette with these adjustments seems to fit now very well. Pattern base for the panties are Acacia by Megan Nielsen #marabralette #studiocosturapatterns #megannielsen #mnacacia

#topwantedv @vanessapouzet . . . Voilà bien longtemps que je ne m’étais pas accordé le plaisir d’un vrai dos nu... pas vraiment de saison d’autant que je suis une grande frileuse, mais le printemps viendra certainement un jour, et peut-être même accompagné du soleil, cette année ? En tous cas, je n’avais pas encore testé cette version du top wanted, pourtant dans mes projets depuis sa sortie... . . . . Coupé dans un jersey de coton motif petit vichy menthe,, chiné sur @sewtoo_officiel aux rous debuts de la plate-forme de seconde main,, et stocké précieusement depuis en attendant le projet idéal, qui attenuerait le côté un peu ”jeune ingenue” de ce tissu... Le glamour du dos équilibre parfaitement à mon goût. J ’ai juste modifié la finition avec un élastique à lingerie, comme je le fais généralement, avec ma jolie collection glanée chez @mercerie_extra . . . . Le coupon étant petit, il ne restait pas assez pour un petit top d’été, mais j’ai pu caser deux culottes #mnacacia @megannielsenpatterns dans les chutes... et voilà un petit ensemble de nuit tout confort mais pas tout à fait sage... (on n’est pas très dentelle ou satin par ici...) . . . Et bien sûr, pour les photos, j’ai accompagné ce #topwanted de ma jupe préférée, #jupediana @mon_idylle_ (enfin, une de mes nombreuses versions...) . . . . #vanessapouzet #sewtoo #jeportecequejecouds #coutureaddict #cousumain #couture #jecoudsmagarderobe #jecoudsmoncouponenentier #passioncouture #instacouture #jecoudsmonstock #jecoudsdujersey #couturesecondemain

The vacation place has a lazy river and I’m ready! 🛟 Top is the tank version of Greenstyle Creations Corset Bra, and bottoms are hacked from Megan Nielsen Acacia Panty. I color blocked the front to match the tank, added 2” to the rise, and fully lined the entire brief. The top has a shelf bra with sewn in cups. Super comfy and no wardrobe malfunctions.

New underwear! I needed a refresh, so tried out 2 new-to-me patterns, and they're both free! Seamwork Flo and Megan Nielsen Acacia. Used up scraps for both of these but it'll count 1/2 yard towards my fabric challenge. #seamworkflo #mnacacia #whole30fabricchallenge

I thought it was about time that I made myself some new knickers - I don't think I've made any for a couple of years Pattern - #mnacacia @megannielsenpatterns Size - Large I think Notions - fabric, thread and fold over elastic Fabric - remnants of CL for the front and viscose Jersey for the back which is my preference Fabric req - around a FQ size of each Alterations - from memory, I raided the leg, moved the gusset forward and possibly added a bit more bum coverage . I love having fun knickers that no one else gets to see 😁 . #imakemyclothes #isew #sew #handmade #memade #sewinglabels #uksewing #craft #isewmyownclothes #imakemyownclothes #westcountry #sewingpattern #sewingprojects #madewithlove #sewbristol #fabric #sewingjersey #sewingproject #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #sewNorthSomerset #freesewingpattern #freesewingpatterns

It's finally here! Today, all over Instagram, sewists will be sharing their #sewfrugal25 makes. That means free sewing patterns sewed up in fabrics from your stash. So check out the hashtag and the hostesses @frugalisima and @theyorkshiresewgirl and stay tuned! My first entry is underpants! At the beginning of March, I sewed SO many pairs of undies for my family members who have April birthdays. These are all made using the @megannielsenpatterns Acacia pattern. This underwear pattern comes in a women's size and a girl's size, meaning that I could sew underwear for my pre-teen nieces as well as my sister. These are great for using up fun knit scraps, and they're the most comfortable undies you could find. #mnacacia #mnacaciamini Posting from the Czech Republic #mymakesmar25

Just some #mnacacia undies with sleeping baby dinosaurs on. The jersey pieces were very kindly donated scraps so I changed the seam positions to make I all fit 🪡🦕

Wow, can't believe it's already December! I have not been in the mood to sew, knit or crochet these past couple of months.... I finally got the sewing bug when I made the placemats for my new dining table, but then I couldn't decide what to make next 🤪 Instead of buying new fabric, my goal this month is to use what I already have and I happen to have this 100% cotton knit fabric for the #mnacacia underwear by @megannielsenpatterns ! I used up the rest of my picot elastic from @stitchlovestudio for the waistband and used regular 1/4 in elastic for the legs. These are size 2 with no modifications and they fit perfectly! #sew #sewing #memade #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #sewist #sewingproject #

So this project has been on my sewing table since mid December last year😅🙈 I don’t know why though, apart from the fact that I had to order elastics in the right colour there was no reason for me not to finish this project. And those elastics arrived last year… But this project was taking up creative energy that I now freed up so I’m glad that I finished it, next up is another project that has been around for awhile when I did some batch cutting. Hopefully it will bring my sewjo back to cut into those nice and shine pieces of fabric that I don’t know what to do with at the moment. #marloessews #handmadewardrobe #lovetosew #sewyourstash #mnacacia #megannielsenpatterns #berninabenelux

Another #memademay2025 day, another glimpse of my chaotic sewing space! Lots of handmade things today - #peppermintpocketskirt #talcufftop #mnacacia and leather bag made at @diamondawlworkshop years ago

Two new sewing workshops added beginning in March. We have a 4 week Learn to sew Knits course. We will demistify sewing with knit fabric while making underwear, a classic t- shirt and pencil skirt. We are also so excited to introduce a 4 week course on Button Up Shirts. There are a lot of intermediating construction techniques with the button up including button plackets, cuffs and collars, we will master them all! This is an intermediate level course.

@megannielsenpatterns Acacia undies using scraps of the dinosaur fabric from @spotlightstores . As it has 4 way stretch the print is sideways so i could fit the pattern pieces. #meganneilsenpatterns #mnacacia #acaciaundies #stashbusting #scrapbusting #adelaidesews #adelaidesewists #usingwhatihave #sewingunderwear #spotlightfabric #spotlightstores

I really liked the mix of stretch satin and the lace. I actually used the @megannielsenpatterns #mnacacia panties as a base and then chopped it up to have it half satin and half lace. Also lowered the side seams to make it more of a girl boxer style as my cleaner asked for. The panties are self drafted The bra is of course the @aftatelier #elegancebrapattern #sewing #sewinglingerie #lingerie #redlingerie #bra #sewingbra #sewingbras #panties #sewingpanties #redbra #redpanties #red #afiatelier #afielegancebrapattern #brapattern

Panda pants were inevitable, from the T shirt off-cuts. Three days of sewing escapism at @newcrafthouse was a real treat, met some lovely fellow sewers and also learnt new skills. The hardest part was not buying any fabric - #whole30fabricchallenge2024 continues … #mnacacia

Here's the small finished portion of the big stack of underwear I cut out over the weekend. I get tired of quartering, pinning, and sewing all those passes of elastic, so I'll probably finish them over the next day or two. Aren't these just the cutest though??? The 🍅s! I printed these fabrics from @spoonflower for other projects and I had nice size pieces left over that were too small for anything other than underwear. The jersey is so soft and nice quality. Custom printing fabric is expensive, so it's nice to get the most out of it 😅 I was also able to use up some of the leftover lingerie elastics I've saved from kits too. The pretty white zigzag trim is from a very old @mmadalynne kit 🤍 and the cute white decorative edge FOE is from @studiocosturashop and it is soooo soft and perfect for underwear. The best part about the fold over elastic is that you only need to do one pass to finish the edge and it's so much faster! The pretty ecru colored FOE is from @sophie_hines (I stocked up on a ton of FOE during one of her sales 😍) and I paired that with a wide red elastic waistband for a sporty pair. Those are my favorite out of this set. The wide waistband is soft and feels supportive ❤️ the cute ivory scalloped elastic has been with me long enough to not know where it came from. It could have easily been given to me as well. I think that when it's paired with this garden print, it has a cute country style 🤍These are all so comfy and cute! It'll be so satisfying to finish the rest! Happy sewing everyone! I also love that so much of my supplies are starting to come from small shops 🥰 they tend to have cute curated finds that are unique ❤️ The pattern is the Acacia underwear pattern from @megannielsenpatterns (which is free) and it is my absolute favorite go-to pattern for underwear. * * * * * #handmadeclothing #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewinglingerie #sewingproject #spoonflower #customprinting #scrapbusting #ethicalfashion #memadeeveryday #bridalseamstress #lovetosew #pdfsewingpattern #mnacacia #megannielsenpatterns

What an amazing cohort of students this weekend at @missmaker . These beautiful creations are the work of the Intro to Lingerie course. First time sewing any type of lingerie, first time sewing with elastics, mesh and lace and look what they made! I couldn’t be more proud- well done 👏 The bra is @rubiesbras #sahaarabra and the knickers are the Megan Neilsen #mnacacia which is a free pattern when you sign up for the MN newsletter.

This is a shout out (and thanks) to the amazing designers offering free patterns. I’ve made many #basicinstinctshirt from @sasha_secondopiano and this is the latest version I sewed up last night. I had already cut it out but other than that I put it together in a few hours. The other pattern I have used a lot lately is the #mnacacia pants from @megannielsenpatterns These are hands down the comfiest smalls I’ve even worn and are made with leftover jersey from t-shirt projects. These can also be made in an evening, so both very satisfying, cost effective and incredibly useful makes which I highly recommend. #modernsewist #sewcialist #sewersofinstagram #ilovetosew #memade #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #handmadecloset #isewmyownclothes #makeitsewcial #wearhandmade #imademyclothes #handmadewardrobe #handmadestyle #memadeeveryday #isewmyownclothes

My scrappy fabric makes for #scrapbustingseptember2024 hosted by Meg @the_grand_stash. For the pants, I used the free #mnacacia pattern from #meganneilsenpatterns. I was pleasantly surprised by how many jersey scraps I had that worked well for this pattern! Because of my surprise, this is my entry for #magamsurpriseseptember hosted by @suestoney @sewing_in_spain and @stash_hub. For the fabric gift bags, I used the #allwelldrawstringbag pattern. Fabric bracelets were made with #libertyfabric scraps. Red Blossom Designs has a Youtube video with instructions. #sewover50 #sewover50september24 #sewover60 #scrapbustingseptember #sewingchallenge #redblossomdesigns #fabricbracelet

Working through the #wipsewing with some #tntpattern favs. Flower knickers pattern: #m4msabrinashorties by @madeformermaids Moon knickers pattern: #mnacacia by @megannielsenpatterns which is a #freesewingpattern yay! Fabrics: both are scraps from of super soft cotton elastane from @wattlehillfabrics #sewingknickers #australiasews #scrapbusting

Experimental #mnacacia pants made using a cover stitch machine for the seams and leg elastic. It does work, but I’m not sure if it’s any better than overlocker or stretch stitching. Sorry if they give anybody a migraine… 😵‍💫

Soaked to the skin unblocking a drain to stop the kitchen from flooding, two #memademay2024 posts in a single day! What I wore - #mnacacia from scraps and my favourite jersey binding, mccalls M7531 tee hack thing and #papercuttula joggers which are too big but also indestructible.
