Todays me-made’s ☺️. A #fridaypatterncompany #saguaroset pair of trousers teamed with a #sewoverit #soiemilytop as a co-ord in a lovely floral viscose from Samuel Taylor fabrics, followed this ridiculously hot evening with a #bhlhannah sleeveless hack in a #sewhayleyjanemakes #sewhayleyjanesubscription double gauze.

This is one of the latest patterns from @sewoveritlondon that was recently released! When I saw they were bringing out a pattern called Emily, I had to make it! As a pattern insider, I had advance access to the pattern for free. I loved the simplicity of the top and the variations. I made the plain neckline with a scoop neck and high back in the longer length. The reason I made the simple neck with no frill was because of the fabric. The fabric is a sand washed satin from @sewmesunshine.uk that I bought last year. I thought it would make the plain top a little bit more fancy! It’s a jeans and a nice top top to me in this fabric. It was a bit shifty to sew and cut out! I thought hemming a frill in this fabric would be a nightmare so that’s the main reason I left it off. I made a straight 18 and the fits pretty good. I’ve been a bit poorly this week which is why I’m late posting this and don’t have me wearing it yet! Plus the weather has been rubbish! #sewing #sewingproject #handmadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #sewoverit #soiemilytop #soipatterninsiders #sewmesunshine #sewingsunshine #sewcialists #sewersgonnasew

Sew Over it Emily Top & Keira Shorts As a Pattern Insider I was excited to sew the 2 new @sewoverit patterns that are summer staples. While I love a dress sometimes basic separates are exactly what you need. I made the #soikeirashorts in @rubystarsociety Heart Flowers Canvas that I had in my stash from @hawthornesupplyco . I had a few other fabric options but was able to squeeze the pattern out of 1.5 yards and thought this would make a fun pair of retro shorts. I made the size 10 with no adjustments. These were an interesting sew, and a few spots I had to think, but an enjoyable challenge. They have some really nice details, like a high waist, buttons on the belt loop tabs, elastic on the side backs, pleats and 4 pockets. When I first tried them on I thought I needed to shorten them, I prefer a shorter short but I am embracing this length and I think its growing on me. Since I used a print for the shorts I knew I wanted to make the #soiemilytop in a solid. Surprisingly I found it difficult to figure out a color that worked with these shorts. I had a few solid viscoses but none of them worked and then I found this plain medium 3.5 linen from @fabricsstorecom in my stash. I was worried it would be too stiff for the ruffle but It worked. I made a size 10 in the cropped version 1 with a high back and ruffle. Sometimes I fear cropped but have to remember there is difference between a crop top and top that is cropped. The length works perfectly with the high waist of the shorts, however it did seem tiny when I was working on it. Overall this was a straight forward make but some fiddly spots. The V neck with ruffle was a lot at once but worth the effort. I did worry about ripping the fabric when turning the facings out after sewing the sides since it was a tight space, but all was good. This is the summer outfit I never knew I needed. 2 basic items with elements I don't typically lean towards but really like! What have you made that changed your perception of something? #sewoverit #patterninsider #sewingforsummer #handmadewordrobe #sewingforme #byalissa2023 #sewingcommunity #sewist #sewing #handmade

Simple sewing ☺️☺️ Having spent a number of hours over the last week cutting out my next pattern*, I wanted something easy and quick to make. These tops are the @sewoveritlondon #soiemilytop and are a lovely make! I got both out of 1m of fabric (although I did have to use different fabric for the facing on the 1st top with the ruffle). The ruffle was more of a challenge to get it to sit right but worth it. Also I love doing the burrito method! Both made in @libertyfabrics #tanalawn - the first is Tresco and is the leftover lining material from my parka coat. The second (blue) one I picked up a remnant from @shaukat.fabrics.uk a couple of years ago. These will be a great summer staple - I just need the sun to come back out now so I can wear them!! 😎😎 *next pattern is a trench coat! 🧥 watch this space 👀

Practical and stylish, the Keira Shorts are a must-have for summer! They feature a zip fly, pleats at the front and darts at the back, roomy slanted pockets, belt loops and turn-ups at the hem. The waistband is elasticated only at the sides for a smart yet comfortable look 😎 #soikeirashorts #soiemilytop #soipatterns #sewoverit #summersewing #sewistsofinstagram

Came home to some happy mail yesterday, I treated myself to the @sewoveritlondon #soiemilytop sewing kit with this lovely orange petals viscose and also their newest pattern the #soinorahdress #happymail #sewingismytherapy #sewingbythesea #imakemyownclothes #iwearwhatisew

I had just a small remnant of this fabulous fabric from my last #minervabrandambassador project and made myself a little dress by hacking the #soiemilytop top by adding about 12 inches. I can wear it loose or with the belt I made for my other dress 😉 #soipatterninsiders #sewover50 #memadeeveryday #imakemyclothes #imakemyownclothes #scientistswhosew #latinaswhosew #thanksimadeit #goinggraygracefully #sewcialistas #wisconsinsews

#AD New pattern alert 🚨 @sewoveritlondon released the Emily Top and Keira Shorts pattern today. As a pattern insider, I decided to hack the shorts by lengthening them. I initially planned to turn them up at the hem but I didn’t do that in the end due to my fabric choice. I kept my blouse without the frills which means it’s more versatile for my wardrobe. Fabric [top]: Linen look cotton purchased from @youre.sew.creative 3 years ago. Fabric [shorts]: Mid-weight Suiting fabric with a little stretch from @minervadotcom purchased a while ago. #ad Sewing machine: @husqvarnavikinguk #designersapphire85 [on loan as part of a Brand Ambassador partnership] Sewing machine presser foot to highlight: @husqvarnavikinguk #stitchintheditch foot • • • • #sewing #newpatternrelease #handmadewardrobe #soiemilytop #soikeirashorts #sewoveritlondon #diyworkwardrobe #husqvarnavikinguk #hvuk #keepingtheworldsewing

This is my entry for #stitchingadventures2024 My adventure was a solo trip to the city of Prague - I have never travelled alone and this was really out of my comfort zone! My mirror selfie shows me wearing a #soiemilytop in white broderie anglaise paired with #fridaypatterncompany #saguaroset trousers in floral viscose. The second and third pictures are selfies ‘in the wild’ also wearing my #wavesandwildsandcastlebuckethat , enjoying a Prague speciality, the chimney cake 😋

Am always on the look out for a good woven tank. For ease of wear and also hopefully to be able to use up those small fabric cuts I have 😅 This is the latest pattern from @sewoveritlondon , the Emily top. Worn together with the shorts pattern also just released from @sewoveritlondon , The Keira shorts. More details to come on the next post on the shorts. 💕 I made my Emily top with the V neckline and frill. Shortened the shoulders half inch. Probably should have done my usual sway back adjustment for the top. There's also the option of a round neckline . The frill is optional. Finishing is via a facing. Fabric is a beautiful nani iro double gauze designed by @itoitonao Patten Emily top and keira shorts gifted by @sewoveritlondon ( as a pattern insider ) Fabric from @nekonekofabric Tag from @porcupinepatterns #sewsewsew #isew #isewmyownclothes #patternrelease #aff #gifted #ootd #sewingaddict #fabricaddict #sewcialistsofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialistsofinstagram #sewersgonnasew #japanesefabric #kokkafabric #kokka #instasew #sewists #sewhappycolour #sgsewing #supportlocalsg #soiemilytop #soikeirashorts #patrondecouture #patrondujour #nekonekofabric #sewoveritpatterns #soipatterninsiders

Today I have a double feature 😊 Meet the @SewOverItLondon #soiemilytop and #soikeirashorts which I was given the opportunity to make ahead of pattern release as a #soipatterninsiders The Keira shorts have front pleats, slanted pockets, decorative belt loops with buttons, and a turned-up hem, and partially elasticated waistband in the back for ease of fitting. The waistband closes with a hook and eye. For this pair I used a twill suiting and shortened the pattern by two inches. I will post another pair with the full pattern length. The Emily cami comes with various neck options, with or without a frill, and can be made full length or cropped. For my version I chose the scoop neck with plain detail and used a viscose challis. I loved the instructions which use a burrito method to enclose the facings for a really clean finish. #sewover50 #memadeeveryday #imakemyclothes #imakemyownclothes #scientistswhosew #latinaswhosew #thanksimadeit #goinggraygracefully #sewcialistas #wisconsinsews #sewnshownseated

Finished my #soiemilytop I went for no frills cropped and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I'm a little bit obsessed with this fabric design, I have a #soigiselledress in the teal colour way and a #soialbaskirt in the mustard colour way. So just had to buy the kit from @sewoveritlondon. #handmadewithlove #handmadewardrobe #sewingbythesea #sewingmystash #sewersgonnasew #sewersofinstagram
