Snart Ă€r #MeMadeMay2025 över.â Jag har varje dag anvĂ€nt egensydda klĂ€der men inte visat. Men idag tog jag pĂ„ mig en skjortblus jag sytt för ett tag sedan. Tyget Ă€r av en ljuvlig viskos, mönstret lite kul om en lyssnat pĂ„ kassettband, men modellen har lite att önska. Ărmen har en konstig isĂ€ttning, den sitter för lĂ„ngt bak. â â Men i det stora hela har blusen varit toppen att ha pĂ„ sig idag nĂ€r jag grejat i trĂ€dgĂ„rden. Det har varit lite sommarkĂ€nsla, vilket jag Ă€r vĂ€ldigt glad över. â â â #soiultimateshirt #handmadewardrobe #mmmay25 #MeMadeMay #imakemyownclothes #isewmyownclothes #isew #garderobsdagbok #syegnaklĂ€der #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #handmadeeveryday #sewersgonnasew #symedenplan #helasverigesyr #efwasgarderob #sewover50 #sewover60 #naÌhenmachtgluÌcklich #slowfashion #imakemyclothes #sewcialists #memadeeveryday #diyfashion #cousumain #jeportecequejecouds #komigĂ„ngattsy #sydinaklĂ€dernu

I managed to whip up a @sewoveritlondon ultimate T-shirt a few days ago. My sewing room has been out of action for the last week but I set up camp on my kitchen table and made this top! This is the 5th (I think) ultimate T-shirt as I think this is a great pattern! I made the crew neck version with short sleeves. I made a straight size 16. The fabric is a cotton jersey I got from @bornellafabrics at the stitch festival last month. Iâve eyed up this fabric for ages and then saw it on Tanyaâs stand so had to buy it! I got the end of the bolt so it was meant to be.

My first attempt at making a shirt. I've used the Sew Over It Ultimate shirt pattern, as from past experience I've found them straightforward patterns to follow, and I wasn't disappointed. I took my time, and really enjoyed the process of sewing up this shirt. I'm very happy with the outcomeđ The fabric is a cotton dobby from Sew Much More. I made a slight newbie error, I brought the fabric online because I loved the pattern, but hadn't realised quite how see through it was. I've paired it here with my go to t-shirt pattern, the Dawson Top from Helens Closet. For me this is a perfect outfit for those slightly warmer days of spring. #sewoveritlondon #soiultimateshirt #sewmuchmore #helenscloset #handmade #sewing #jukiclub #franklinscolchester #jukisewing

I am completely obsessed with this outfit đ I canât take credit for the coat which was beautifully made by the legend that is @rosie_stirling using the @sewoveritlondon #soijessiecoatigan and our new #soijessieaddon for the lining. I made the matching #soiavaskirt and the turtleneck which is a hacked #soiultimateshirt. Amazing pictures taken by @wildjesse đž fabulous hair and make-up by @siandukemua đI am all about the houndstooth this year đ¶đŠ· #sewing #almitamade #sewistsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe

This is my first @sewoveritlondon pattern, the ultimate t shirt. I had some fabric left from a Billie top I made. The fabric is a jersey knit from @fabriclanduk there was just enough, but I had to change the sleeves. The pattern was really easy to follow with clear instructions, and it came together quite quickly. As I didn't have enough fabric for the sleeves that were included in the pattern, I decided to use a sleeve pattern I had created from a ready to wear top. I think these sleeves make the top a bit more smart casual which I like. I will definitely be making more of these and trying more @sewoveritlondon patterns. #sewoverit #soiultimateshirt #sewingaddict #sewoveritpatterns #ilovesewing #handmadewardrobe #isewmyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram

It needs buttons and a bloody good press still but this blind make for a colleague has been a bit of a labour of love. Just hope it fits her now- her husband hunted through her wardrobe and said she had âmainly 14/16 clothesâ which wasnât massively helpful. Fingers crossed!

I absolutely love this shirt dress, finished it last night. I took a shirt pattern and lengthened it, added pockets, and instead of cuffs, I made a 3/4 sleeve with a permanent roll tab. Lovely and easy to wear!

This little goose fabric has been in my stash for years. Longer than I can remember. So with the aid of the new @stash_hub #magicmockup tool, I played around with 2 possibilities - the @sewoveritlondon #soirubyskirt and #soiultimateshirt (but I'd probably make the Amy Shirt instead!). Now to decide which to make!

This was my second make from the @guthrieghani_studio Sewing Retreat this week with @oldfashionedway Layla. This is the @sewoveritlondon Ultimate Shirt pattern in this funky bowler hat cotton lawn from @fabricgodmother I cut a size 14, shortened the sleeves by 1.5â and finished it off with buttons from @atelierbrunette purchased at @guthrieghani (so handy having fabrics and haberdashery on hand during the the retreat in the shop downstairs!) #guthrieghani #guthrieandghani #guthrieghanistudio #sewoverit #sewoveritlondon #soiultimateshirt #atelierbrunettebuttons

Can't believe I've made a shirt/blouse and it's actually worked đžđ I am entering this for #sewaprilblouse24 run by @cloth_edit and @theyorkshiresewgirl even though I'm not sure it constitutes as a blouse, but my excuse is - it's pretty and feels more Feminine than a regular shirt đ đ„° This is the @sewoveritlondon #soiultimateshirt Made in viscose, a straight size 8. I feel the fit across my back (armpit to armpit) is a little snug, but it's not too small that I can't wear it. I removed 2" from the length and 2" from the sleeves. It was much easier to sew up than I imagined in my head, and I love it! I can see lots of these in my wardrobe in the near future. #soiultimateshirt #sewaprilblouse24 #springiscoming #dressmaking #sew #sewing #isewmyownclothes #sewistofinstagram #makersgottamake #handmadewardrobe #memade #dressmaker #sewforfun #makingclothes #creative #sewingismytherapy #vlogger #sewforfun

Another completed make this weekend was another @sewoveritlondon ultimate T-shirt. This time I sized down and made the crew neck version with short sleeves. I used a colourful leopard print cotton jersey I got from the stitch festival and then some black ribbing for the neckband.

Today, I've made two @sewoveritlondon Ultimate T Shirts for my daughter, one in burgundy and one in black. The fabric is a jersey rib that I got at Birmingham Rag Market. I changed the length, so it was cropped and just overlocked the hem and cuffs.She was very pleased with them and said they were soft and comfy. #sewistsofinstagram #sewingaddict #sewingproject #soiultimateshirt #sewoverit #sewoveritpatterns

This is a complete me made outfit, a self drafted skirt in Houndstooth ponte from @fabricland and the ultimate t shirt by @sewoveritlondon in a plain black jersey from my lovely local fabric shop @sewathomebarnstaple.
