I have been thinking about what exactly my style is this week. I love to sew and definitely have far more clothes than I need but they do make me happy! So I thought I would put together this post as a response to #pfmystyle @punkfrockers a selection of outfits including a cow print knit #stokxkimdress @stokxpatterns my #africanwaxprint #yantaoveralls @helens__closet worn with my #sagebrushtop @fridaypatterncompany two other #sagebrushtop s worn with my freshly made purple floral #stokxstadtrock on the hottest day I wore my sarong panel #givenachancedress @decades_of_style , wore my freshly made floral cluster coral pink vneck #stokxgossamerdress to take the cat to the vet, last Saturday was cooler and I wore my blue and orange big cat #stokxathenablouse with my #stokxbigpants, Sunday I wore my #zadiejumpsuit @paper_theory and finally tonight I wore my black and white knit #ddsirocco @deer_and_doe_patterns … do I have a style? I am not sure but I am sure I did enjoy my week in these clothes! #sewover50 @sewover50

I’m super excited about this new Atelier Brunette viscose. It’s made with LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose. The fabric is soft, floaty and it has a beautiful soft sheen. It would be perfect for the #ddmagnolia #bhleloise #bellevuecamisole #newellslipskirt or the #sagebrushtop #sistermintaka #fabricshop #atelierbrunette

January is a pretty crazy month for me at work so it hasn't left much time for sewing. I also haven't felt super motivated so I've decided to try the #makeninechallenge. So far I've had a lot of fun going through all my patterns and it's made me realise I probably don't need to buy anymore for a little while. 😂 So here it is, my #makenine2021, I'd love to hear if you've made any of these: 1. #violettefieldthreadspiper 2. Paperbag pants by #ellieandmac 3. #ritablouse by #gertiepatterns 4. #mccalls7513 5. #violettefieldthreadsevangeline 6. #butterick6518 7. #sagebrushtop by #fridaypatterncompany 8. #rpberrybubble by #rebeccapagepatterns 9. #patternemporiumfollowmewrapdress

Woo! She’s finished and isn’t she lovely! Although, my photography skills are shocking 😬 look at those sleeves! Poofy perfection. Now I’ve finished my #sagebrushtop it’s time to turn my attention to my next project which is my bicycle dress #m8553 that is waiting patiently for me to toile and pattern trace #sewing #sewersofinstagram #sewingismytherapy #seamstress #seamstresslife #fridaypatterncompany #sewersofinstagram #sewersgonnasew

#theblackcountrylivingmuseum #sewnwithbig5july @simplicitymccallsuk We are going to a 40s day today.I have made the overalls using #s8447 from a blue gaberdine from @poundfabrics .I had to cut the bodice twice .I should fit according to the pattern in a size 16 for measurements but it was too small.So I ended up cutting a size 20 and it took some fitting.I did my usual crotch depth alterations to fit my personal preference.And added leg length as I am 5ft 11" and have long legs.The blouse is a favourite to make @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop .Overall pretty happy with the finished look

There’s a new challenge in town…and we’d love you to join in, or cheer from the side-lines .  .

Just delivered this morning! The sun is almost here!! Whilst it’s still a little bit dull outside, why not brighten your sewing space by making some spring/summer clothes?!☀️ We have just had a delivery today with 6 new spring/summer fabrics - look how GORGEOUS they are… you might want to be quick as we want some of each ourselves. The first two fabrics are viscose dobby, the third and fourth fabrics are 100% cotton lawns and the final two fabrics are viscose twill. They all range between £6.95-£9.95 (how good is that?!) We have paired the fabrics with patterns that might inspire you but of course we do have more patterns than this in stock! Don’t forget, if you make anything with our fabrics please tag/share it with us!

Loading up the final weeks of #mmmay25 #imakemyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #keepingtrack #southlondonsews #slowsewist #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #reworn #sewover50may #stillsewing Thanks to @sozoblog for starting the ball rolling on keeping track of our wardrobes mine is showing up many repeats over the years of #memademay #truebiasmarlo #heyjuneunionsttee #sagebrushtop #saamandastretchshort #truebiashadley #iamartemis The first time I took part I could only complete for a week or so but now I staggered to the end . I need some trousers jackets and more sweatshirts. The older tee shirts need replacing and more plain colours are lacking . Working on it slowly!

Just another outfit combo … One of my first few #SagebrushTop with the #MnKellySkirt (a recent edition to my me made wardrobe). The Sagebrush Top is made in a @atelierbrunette viscose that I got from @lamazifabrics as a remnant ages ago. The pattern itself is from @fridaypatterncompany and is goes up to 152cm/60” bust and 160cm/63” hips. The Kelly Skirt is a new @megannielsenpatterns and comes in 2 size ranges 0-20 & 14-34. Size 34 has body measurements of 132cm/52” waist and 157cm/62” hips. This version is made out of a washed cotton from @simplyfabricsbrixton and is still currently available at the time of posting this.

🩷 Happy V/Galentine's Day ♥️ I normally sew with my two faves @you_cansew and @sarah.sews.sometimes on a Wednesday night and in honour of Galentine's Day (which I now realise is actually the day before Valentine's apparently 🤷🏼‍♀️) we all decided to sew up fabric from our stash that was perfect for a girl's night...of sewing. This 'sweet pink love' by @doopsdesigns was the obvious choice. I'd actually had this #sagebrushtop and fabric combo saved in @stash_hub for months after Sarah sent me a pic of another maker who had had the brilliant idea to combine these two. I'm sorry to say I can't remember the maker, but it's been living rent free in my head ever since I saw it. The Sagebrush is a lovely sew and combines all the things I love (ruffles, big sleeve energy). It's my second and I'm not sure why I waited so long to make another. I made a small and the only mod was to lop a bit of length off. Other than that, it's a 👌🏼 fit right out of the packet. Worn with my newly refurbished #mnveronikaskirt in 'Cheetah's Garden's by @deb.mcnaughton One of my better and likely to be a favourite combo of patterns. Pattern: Sagebrush top by @fridaypatterncompany Fabric: Sweet pink love in the loveliest cotton by #doopsdesigns #galentinesday #sewistsofinstagram #memadewardrobe #lovetosew #isewmyownclothes #handmadeclothing #sewwhatihave2024 #sewing

My second week of #memademay Day 5: @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop in a fun animal Liberty print. I’ve also used the leftovers of this print as a bag lining! Day 6: @tessutifabrics #tessutibrigitte Breton top in a nice stripe I bought at the Knitting and Stitching Show in London last year. This is the third time I made this pattern, and my first project using my serger! I finished this top in April, and it kick-started my sewing again. Day 7: @ensemble.patterns #grecotee I have two of these (you’ve already seen the other) and they are the perfect slouchy comfy tee! I finished this one years ago. And I made a Brigitte out of the leftovers 😂 Day 8: @megannielsenpatterns #mnmatilda that I shortened into a shirt. I did this to test the grading I did between sizes from bust to waist. I made the skirt pieces 6” long, but wish I’d given myself an extra inch or two. Day 9: the Matilda dress I made after the test shirt! Fabric is a block print my 2023 India trip. And I am so proud of my pattern matching on the skirt pockets! Day 10: it was suddenly warm, so I pulled out this @sewoverit #soialbaskirt I made using deadstock fabric from @blackbirdfabrics many years ago

✂️ Hey guys … my latest @minervadotcom #BrandAmbassador make is up on the website if you fancy a read! 🤎 I used the Minerva Exclusive Savanna Daisy Viscose Challis fabric to make a @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush top with the sleeves pinched from the @fibremood Norma Blouse … and doesn’t it go well my @sewoveritlondon Cocoon coat! 💛 N.B. I was sent this gorgeous Minerva Exclusive fabric in return for a write up and photos 🍁 🧡 #minervamaker #minervamakes #minervabrandambassador #fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop #fibremoodnorma #fibremood #soicocooncoat #memade #memadewardrobe #ilovetosew #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #sewing #sewersgonnasew #indiepatterns #sewingmakesmehappy #sewingkeepsmesane #leedssews #yorkshiresews #sewemiesew

Another day another #sagebrushtop - this one is in fabric from @exeterfabriccentre and I love this baby blue colour. Worn with my @stylearc #ninacardigan and @sewoveritlondon #soininatrousers - double Nina! #memademay2022 Day 26 #sewover50

#memademay2022 Day 24 and I've just finished work as the sun has decuded to come out ☀️. I'm wearing another #sagebrushtop from @fridaypatterncompany made in this bright coral peachskin fabric from @exeterfabriccentre together with my trusty #soininatrousers #memademay #sewover50

So, I haven't been doing much sewing recently, but I have been doing some fabric shopping and have lots of plans!! Top to bottom, plans are: 1. Short sleeved top of some description as it's only 1 metre. Maybe the @sewoveritlondon shift dress, but the top version (saw one @sewisfaction had made as a sample on her latest video and liked the look of it). 2. Trousers - either #soininatrousers or Nina Lee #portobellotrousers. I haven't made either pattern and can't decide which would suit me better - think I'm leaning towards portobello, but we'll see. 3. Another #soipussybowblouse which will pair nicely with the trousers. 4. Either a @tillybuttons #sewingindigo dress but more likely a @deer_and_doe_patterns #myosotisdresss 5. This is a really soft drapey jersey and I might have a go at a Tilly and the Buttons #agnestop 6. A blouse of some description - haven't found one I like yet though. Any suggestions of new autumn blouses/tops welcome! 7. A @fridaypatterncompany #wildergown- I really fancy swooshing around in a bright red maxi dress!! 8. Another blouse but again, not sure on the pattern yet. 9. Another Friday Pattern Company #sagebrushtop I also have plans to try some #dawnjeans and I'm going to make another #clarecoat but I'll post details of that as I go. In the meantime, that should keep me occupied!! I do also have a load of plans for Soph which I will post up tomorrow.

Well this is a bit of a Frankenstein top but I think it turned out well. I used the bodice from #sagebrushtop - except, as usual, I closed the back with a button and loop rather than the long bias ties. I also self-lined the front and back yoke because the fabric is pretty thin. Then the sleeves started as #soifridablouse but ended up with the bottoms copied from #davenportdress. I wanted a Sagebrush in this pretty Swiss dot but wanted the sleeves to be a little more wearable. I love a #statementsleeve but have you ever tried to get a cardigan over one?! #sewersofinstagram #sewersgonnasew #fridaypatterncompany #sewoverit #memadeeveryday

Here's my @sewoverit #soifrankiejacket finished last weekend. Made with @backstitchshop 4.5 Wale Corduroy and wooden buttons. Made V2 with V1 pockets. It's a size 12 graded to size 10 at the shoulders and my usual forward shoulder adjustment. Love this smarter worker jacket. Forgot to do photos of the lining but the garden photos hints at the purple that is my current favourite colour everywhere Didn't actually wear the jacket today. spent the day in my #msworkertrousers and a @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop that I don't think I've ever posted. Doesn't get worn much as the puffy sleeves aren't made for under cardigans. #sewover50 #sewover50tops #sewoverageism #sewing #imakemyownclothes #sewingismysuperpower #sewingismytherapy #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday

Me Made May Day 19 Today's outfit is a @sewoveritlondon selena skirt, which is a really quick bias cut skirt but it's so comfortable to wear. I've never worn it with this sagebrush top before, so it's another new combo for me thanks to MMM. The pink cardigan is RTW hence the sleeeves are so long on me! #fpcmemademay #sagebrushtop #soiselenaskirt #soiselena

An outfit for adventures, would you wear it? The older I get, the less I care what others think, and the more I care about expressing my creativity and wearing something incredibly comfortable. Those are currently my top fashion criteria at present, what does everyone else look for in an outfit? Above we have: @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop made from an obliging tablecloth. @vanessahansenstudio #lynnpinafore in the skirt view, made in @libertyfabrics @latelier_de_maya in @simplysewingmag bumbag pattern made from scrap fabric.

Chelsea is planning to share some maternity styles later this week, so we're throwing it back to when Paige was pregnant and the patterns she wore during that time! ⁠ ⁠ 1. The #SagebrushTop dress hack is great for a growing bumps, as it has lots of room whilst still looking cute. Paige made a pink gingham and strawberry print version, and a blue gingham version - both of which she still wears now 3 years on!⁠ 2. The #WilderGown is another great option, and perfect for hot days.⁠ 3. The #IlfordJacket which worked as both a loose shirt dress, and jacket. Paige just sized up when sewing these projects.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

My scraps vs the finished product. . . . . I spent the weekend working on the #sagebrushtop by Friday pattern company. The first one I made was a 4x that I thought was too big. I pulled out my projector, fiddled with it, probably didn’t calibrate it right and made this 3x(?). Now it’s off to the washer so I can possibly wear it to work in the morning.

I posted in my stories a few days ago, how I was working my way through fabric that I'd had in my stash for a long time. First up is another #sagebrushtop from @fridaypatterncompany It was a quick and easy sew but looks so lovely when completed. This is my third Sagebrush top. The fabric is a @libertylondon cotton lawn. As always with Liberty fabric, it was a dream to work with. I bought the fabric from Hawes in the Yorkshire Dale's 3 years ago. It was our first holiday after Covid and we had a lovely week. I got the fabric from a craft fair. The lady was selling some bolt ends of Liberty fabrics. I think I got just over 2.5 metres. I think it's the perfect fabric for the Sagebrush top. It's light and soft and perfect for summer! #memade #memadetop #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #imakemyownclothes #ilovetosew #libertytanalawn #strawberrythief

Lise Tailor Alia and Mimosa and a @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop incoming! #lamazimakersclub #lamazifabrics #walessews #northwalessews #imademyclothes #handmadewardrobe #sewover50jun

Me Made May finale , and Hey June! I was supposed to post this yesterday, to make a wrap of memade May and the fun challenge of #memademaybutmakeitweird @sewaliche But life and family obligations happened, so I finished this today! Yes! It’s a new garment, fresh off the machine! ✨It’s a Peppermint Pocket skirt! Look at those grand pockets! I shall be able to fill them with loads of stuff 🐚 I made a size 22. ✂️ pattern #peppermintpocketskirt @peppermintmagazine in collab with @paper_theory In a hemp red chambray from @sysaker_com @merchantandmills It’s my first garment in hemp. It’s 30% hemp, 45 % eco cotton and 45% recycled hemp/cotton. It feels like linen. I bought this fabric in 2021 possibly and had several ideas before choosing this one. I definitely need a skirt in my wardrobe so I look forward to wearing this. The top is a #sagebrushtop from @fridaypatterncompany #fpcmemademay25 In a Tana lawn Liberty print cotton, it’s a pink botanical print. 🌸 Worn with my shearling Birkenstock sandals, because it’s not really warm, I just stepped out to photograph it in daylight. I had to bribe my little photographer with a cookie to get these quick images. 🍪 Final pic is me checking the fit in my sewing room. And there you can see a glimpse of the next sewing challenge I am prepping for; Hello Sew Fruity! 🍌🍓🍒🍍🍎🥭 It was so fun to play along with the prompts of #memademaybutmakeitweird And doing #memademay2025 stretches me a little even thou I wear memade mostly everyday I put on things I haven’t worn in a while and reflect on what to prioritise next. @sozoblog Doing a daily post and picture is definitely a stretch task 🙈 #imakemyownclothes #memadeeveryday #memademay

Another post, another dress #youcanhackit This is the Sagebrush top that I lengthened to become a dress. Sewn out of a lightweight and flowy viscose, perfect for summer or mid-season with tights. 🪡 fabric radiance flowers viscose @verheestextiles 🪡 Pattern #sagebrushtop @fridaypatterncompany Werbung: Der Stoff wurde mir zur Verfügung gestellt #verheestextiles #sagebrushtop #sagebrushtophack #plussizenähen #curvysewing #jecoudsmagarderobe #naien #sewingover50

I've been busy doing batch-sewing and a bit of mending! ... @fridaypatterncompany #PatinaBlouse in spotty viscose ... @tillybuttons #LyraDress with #SagebrushTop sleeves @fridaypatterncompany in green ... Mending husband's walking shorts that he ripped. They fit him really well and he put his knee through them climbing 🤦🏻‍♀️ It's a bit puckered but the thread is the perfect colour ... Fabrics from @guthrieghani 💙 and @sewmesunshine.uk 💚

Made this a while ago and forgot to share it. It’s a #sagebrushtop by @fridaypatterncompany I have so many of these in tops now it was about time I hacked it into a dress. And it’s so dreamy in double gauze!! 😍 more are needed!! #imadethis #imakemyownclothes #memade #memadeeveryday #sewistofinstagram #sagebrushtophack

Det var valgfritt om vi ønsket å konstruere egne mønstre eller bruke eksisterende mønstre til eksamen. Jeg konstruerte fire mønstre selv, men på det femte plagget (som faktisk var det første jeg sydde som ble brukt i kolleksjonen - ja, jeg sydde først plagg som aldri fikk bli med videre 😅) brukte jeg et ferdigmønster som jeg gjorde noen endringer på. Jeg synes denne blusen passet godt inn i kolleksjonen, og jeg elsker gulfargen (som endte opp med å bli en av vårens trendfarger). Stoffet er lett og luftig bomullsviskose, som passer perfekt til en sommergarderobe 🤩 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 Stoff: viskose fra @stofflykke Mønster: modifisert mønster av #sagebrushtop fra @fridaypatterncompany Foto: @hanneandhjelmas 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 #sewistofinstagram #memadewardrobe #lovesewing #slowfashion #coudre #syifastestoffer #sysysy #syglede #sewingprojects #instasøm #diy #syinspo #syinspirasjon #sytildame #nähenfürmich #naaienisleuk #sytillmigsjälv #syminaegnakläder #fuckfastfashion #fridaypatterncompany

Oh I love it! Fabric is from the March Lamazi Makers Club gifted by my children for Mother’s Day. I have been opening beautiful fabric parcels for years, but this one absolutely thrilled me. I knew straightaway it would be perfect for a Friday Pattern Company #sagebrushtop which I have a little collection of! It’s a pretty easy make and a versatile top. This is a perfect‘make your own sunshine’ kinda top. Perfectly matched label from Little Rosy Cheeks. #lamazimakersclub #lamazifabrics #sewingweekender #sewover50 #sewover50jun #dopaminedressing #walessews #northwalessews #imademyclothes #handmadewardrobe

This has been on my list of things to make for a while. I finally got around to making this #sagebrushtop from @fridaypatterncompany. Fabric is from a recycled sheet. #memade #recycle

Made a new #sagebrushtop by @fridaypatterncompany. Love this top it’s really becoming a staple for work in the summer. The fabric is a model/lyocle (I think) twill from Joann’s (rip) that I got on clearance a few years ago. I love the fabric it’s very soft but my lawrd does it fray! Some things (like the ruffle and front yoke) keep getting smaller as I had to keep cutting off all the frayed bits 🤦🏼‍♀️. I don’t normally wear white but I just love all the colors in the check lines. Love this blouse will make again 😁. #sagebrushtop #detroitsews

#ohscrap25 organised by @cinnamondaisystudio made me do it! I have loved using my @libertylondon scraps up to make a @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop and a simple pleated dirndl skirt. I think together they look fab! #ohscrap25 #libertyfabric #patchwork

Pretty sure a white blouse is inadvisable when you have small children and also are not exactly a neat eater yourself but OH WELL this @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop is very nice and I wear it a lot!! The double gauze from @stonemountainfabric is lovely and soft and also harder to sew with than I thought, but it turned out great.

Back in stock! Available online and in-store🥳 These are two gorgeous ORGANIC cotton lawns from @birchfabrics . Happy to restock these beautiful prints! Designed by a fave artist I love, @mustardbeetle 🥰 These wovens are priced by the half yard and are 56" inches wide. A silky soft organic cotton lawn. It is lightweight, sheer, and breathable. Would be perfect as a #remyraglan by Sew House Seven or a #sagebrushtop by Friday Pattern Co. Or the #cloverpattern by Merchant and Mills. 📍3380 W.

Another Friday Pattern Company Sagebrush top, think this is the 5th one Ive done, keep forgetting to post them. Think this has to be one of my favourite blouse patterns, fits great, didnt have to make any adjustments . I saw Ruan @theyorkshiresewgirl post a dress using this viscose fabric and loved it so had to get some. fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop

Sagebrush for summer - I decided to make this floral Sagebrush top by @fridaypatterncompany with this lovely cotton lawn for week three of the @dreamfabricsuk ‘sewing bee’ competition. The fabric gives the shoulders some real pouf, which I love. I bought this challenge box on a bit of a whim, but I’ve actually really enjoyed it, as it’s motivated me to do more sewing in the evenings. The floral fabrics have been right up my street. I’ve been impressed with the fabrics, and most of the haberdashery that came with it. Few bits were not to my taste, but was fun to open and think about what to make. See photo, right. Cost £35 plus 4.95 p&p. All fabrics were approximately 3-3.3 mtrs. I’ve made two blouses and two dresses with enough khaki and rose fabric left to make something else. I still need to shares photos of week 2. This is my final entry for the competition, which is due by this Sunday 6 July. So pleased to hear that Sewing Bee will be back on our screens on 15 July! 🤩 Looking forward to wearing this blouse soon. Isn’t she pretty 😍 🌹🥀 #fridaypatternsagebrush #sagebrushtop

Fastest idea to Instagram ever? I decided last Saturday I needed a pair of lightweight trousers, searched for a linen blend, found this unusual linen cotton blend from @sewsewsewuk. Ordered it, bought the #lanepants by @hisydgraham, printed and stuck it last night and spent today making them up. I love them so much, I’m so happy with how they turned out I want to make 300 more pairs 😂 I can definitely see what all the hype is about, they sew up so quickly and the fit is great. I’m 5’ 2” so I chopped 2” off the pattern before cutting the fabric but I needed another 1” off once I tried them on. The fabric was a joy to work with and is so comfy to wear; and it was very reasonable considering it’s dead stock Ralph Lauren! I’ve been enjoying the #sewingweekender2025 @thefoldline videos today mixed in with a bit of glasto 🥳 and on to project number 2 tomorrow ❤️ Top is my trusty @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop and bag is @fibremood #fibremoodnousha 🖤🤎 #thefoldline #hisydgraham #sewsewsewuk #sewingismytherapy #sewingisthebest #sewingismysuperpower #sewistsofinstagram #sewing

It’s taken me ages to share this, for some reason it feels weird as a new Mum to share things that are just about me, but anyway I made a thing! Sewed the #sagebrushtop by @fridaypatterncompany in a lightweight cotton lawn and I’m really enjoying having a fun spin on a plain white blouse in my me made wardrobe. I’ve always loved the little sewing details in Friday Pattern Company’s patterns, both to sew and to wear, and think they really shine in such a simple fabric! #sewistsofinstagram👗💯🔥✂️💕💃🏻 #sewcialists

A bit late to the party but I’ve made the #fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop. Of course I hacked it into a dress. Not sold on the puffed sleeves but the rest I love.

Here marks the end of #memademay2025. Now we both know what a month in the life of my current closet looks like which is kind of weird and interesting. Thanks for tuning in! 24: @tillybuttons #sewingmabel top and @cayden.naughton #picnicset bloomers. The bloomers are new, I started with a size 2 but took out 1.5 inch from the side seam allowances and 1 inch from the back seam allowance, grading into the crotch seam (~8 inches removed altogether). 23: @vamuseum #artofmenswear shirt and @paradisepatterns #proteapants 25: @simplicity_creative_group #s9783 and #proteapants 26: @tessutifabrics #mandyboattee (size 1 w I think 6 inches total taken out of the sides) and @annaallenclothing #pomonapants 27: @june.pattern.studio cut out back tank top and @daughterjudypatterns #coetrousers 28: @megannielsenpatterns #mnrowan hacked w #mandyboattee neckline, #coetrousers 29: @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop w elastic waist and #pomonapants 30: #mnrowan and #pomonapants 31: #coetrousers and @patternsbypatterncos #coralineblouse which is new, will post about it sometime soon. (I did switch the order of day 23 and 24 bc I like 24 better, turns out there are no rules to this)

Easy breezy in blue and green. I think this top and skirt pattern is my most worn this season. So comfy!

🌸🧵 Floral Sagebrush Top 🧵🌸 I had just enough fabric left over to make myself a @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush Top in this beautiful Cornflower Blue Print Cotton Poplin from @fleur.et.ours 😍 I am so pleased with how it turned out and how easily it has become part of my casual and work wardrobe! I love this top pattern as its a quick and easy sew and can be made in a variety of fabrics and prints. I always think about exploring other blouse options (recommendations greatly appreciated) but always come back to the Sagebrush Top or a Marnie Blouse 😂 This cotton fabric is perfect for the Sagebrush Top as it holds the puffed sleeves well and is super comfortable to wear. I absolutely adore this floral print as well 😍 I am heartbroken that Fleur et Ours is closing as it was one of my favourite online retailers, but excited at what the future holds for Kayleigh ❤️ thanks for all the gorgeous fabrics! I managed to buy two remnants of this cornflower fabric and have a few ideas of what to make with them!

My pink top of dreams 💖 Puffy sleeves ✔️ Ruffles ✔️ Fabric in the perfect shade of pink ✔️ I got this beaut cotton dobby from @the_rag_shop a couple of months ago with the @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush top in mind. After my previous make being whipped up in record time (for this newbie) I was looking forward to a sewing project that I could take a bit slower. This was also my first make with proper sleeves! I love this pattern so much I’ve bought fabric for another one, I’m even planning on doing a bit of a sleeves hack…! 😅 I might be getting a bit ahead of myself but there’s only one way to learn right?!

I haven't touched my sewing machine since before Christmas 🙈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is an Indigo pinafore hack sitting waiting to be finished...and the ironic part? I've done the hard bits! All that's left to do is attach the skirt and hem it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My sewing machine and table are currently sitting with all the rest of the contents of our living room in our kitchen in preparation for our new carpet. But as soon as it's in I'm getting that dress finished. So I can get a chance to wear it while it still fits me! What are you making right now? .

Sagebrush fun 💕 After the success of my first Sagebrush I wanted to make more and play around with the fit and sleeves. For this one, I wanted the ruffle to sit lower, so I extended the yoke by about an inch and deducted the same amount from the bodice. It doesn't sit quite as nicely as I'd like, but I have some ideas on how to fix it next time. I also took a little of the excess fabric out of the back to get a slightly more fitted look. For the sleeves, I'd seen other people try this kind of sleeve and liked the look. I didn't alter the pattern, just turned up the sleeves 2 inches, made an elastic casing and created a fun little ruffle at the bottom of the sleeves. 💕 Pattern: #SagebrushTop by @FridayPatternCompany Fabric: Cotton poplin from @spotlightstores

The @fridaypatterncompany #SagebrushTop might be the perfect summer pattern...no darts, no closures, but tons of style and super size inclusive! Susanne @pistolwhip is teaching a class with this pattern starting July 16th...an awesome easy project if you are new to garment sewing!

One of my ‘me made’ tops out in the wild. I’m still amazed that I can make my own clothes, even more so that they don’t fall apart in the washing machine! Every time I wash something I’ve made I tentatively take it out the machine just in case it falls apart in my hands…😂 I still think the Sagebrush top from @fridaypatterncompany is my favourite make. It looks great, it was fun to sew and I’m loving styling it for the colder weather 🍂🍁 I mentioned in my last post about this top that I was planning a wee sleeve hack on my next one. Well, a practice sleeve has been made and apart from sewing the cuff on the wrong way round it worked well! I just need to shorten the sleeve (and attach the cuff the right way round) on my final one 😄 I have the perfect autumnal toned fabric waiting to be cut for it. What is your favourite ever make? 📷 @everlong79 [image description: Kayleigh is wearing a pink puff sleeve top, black denim skirt, and leopard print sunglasses.

First sewing entry for the #finishthatwip2024 challenge hosted by @onelisashow . This is a @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop that I had sitting unfinished for my grandma. The weather got cooler and I just stuffed it into a drawer, but I am pleased to have it off my mind now. Fabric: @thenestcommunity . I used a lilac lace instead of the fabric to make the frill, and a contrasting lilac binding. #sewing #memade #handmade #memadewardrobe #handmadewardrobe #sagebrush #fridaypatterncompanysagebrush #memadeclothes #memadeeveryday

The top of this dress has been sitting on my mannequin since December 2022 as it was my abandoned NYE dress. I was inspired to use this deep stash fabric for a #sagebrushtophack after seeing @paigejoannadesign peplum top in a similar fabric but I knew I wanted a dress. I abandoned it because I regretted the double layer of ruffle, I felt it was too bulky, so had intended on unpicking and redoing the ruffle as one layer with a tiny hem. Fast forward a year and the double layer didn’t bother me at all (not enough to battle unpicking a zig zag stitch on a jersey velvet anyway). So I got it off the mannequin and was pleasantly surprised that I’d already made the skirt so I just needed to add it to the top! So here it is, in a cat cafe bathroom selfie! I’m very pleased with how it turned out and there is plenty of room for cake and mince pies there 🤪 #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrush #isewyousee #sewingismytherapy #isewmyownclothes #sewingismysuperpower

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

Just made it in time my sew jo totally deserted me and it was a struggle to concentrate on this simple Sagebrush blouse from Friday pattern company and is my entry into #sewaprilblouse25 which is being run by @sewn_on_the_tyne & @theclothedit._ Fabric was from sew me sunshine a cotton voile called jungle green & purple it’s beautifully soft 💜 #memade #nosewjo #flatfriendsuk #sewmesunshine #memadewardrobe #sewingismytherapy #sewingthroughgrief #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop

Another make. -Get me 😀😀😀. I’m so going to miss my sewing time when I’m back at work full time next week 🤦‍♀️. So my all time favourite repeat is the #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop Make from #fabricgodmotherfabrics fabric purchased from #littlelegsfabrics this week. May have to wear this back to work. I think Friday Pattern company is easily becoming my most used as the fit is always good without any alternations needed. However for the Sage brush I do take in the sleeves as the big puffy sleeve is a bit too much for me and this is my preference. I think this could be number 6. It’s becoming a tradition to make one everytime. College is closed and I’m off work. Now what’s next ??????????

🍂🧵 Me Made November - Day 16 🧵🍂 Happy Saturday! Today I am in my William Morris Cotton @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush Top 😍 I absolutely love this cotton I found in the fabric bins at @abakhan_manchester and even managed to find some more a few weeks ago! I've paired it with a pair of jeans and fluffy socks whilst I do some sewing this afternoon.

Another #sagebrushtop but this time in a mix of broderie anglais from @fabricsgalorelondon and jersey from @1stforfabrics which seems to have worked well! I did lower the frill by lengthening the top of the front and shortening the bottom of the front and I think I prefer it lower. #sagebrushtophack #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #1stforfabrics #broderieanglaise #memade ##memadewardrobe

Love being off work for the summer 😀 Made an old fav by #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop This Sage brush top I think is my fourth and my best one so far. Fabric from #fabricsatfleetwood Really recommend After making a few Sage brush tops I widen the shoulder by a cm, reduce the puff in the sleeve and shorten the sleeve a lot too. Perfect fit now achieved for me. I do love a Friday pattern Company pattern, love the style and how your hand is held throughout.

Here she is complete. 🥰😍🥰😍. She’s a dream to wear. A dream to sew. #sagebrushtop #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #fridaypatterncompany #minervacrafts #viscosechallis

I’ve been at my MILs today with the family and she very sensibly suggested I bring my machine. A few hours later, I have my own scrappy #sagebrushtop! The blue floral is fabric I have had in my stash possibly for as long as I’ve had my machine - long before I ever made a garment. I only had 1m x 110cm and it wasn’t quite enough, but I did have a tiny bit of cream left over from some bunting I made for our wedding 7 years ago. I didn’t have enough to make a full sleeve out or it (or the floral!) so I scrapped them together and I think the final look is quite cool. It really emphasises the puff sleeve and makes a feature out of it. The cotton is quite stiff and it holds the shape really well. I need to give it a press but I couldn’t wait to share! I had pre cut the fabric in advance but it still feels like such an achievement to sew something up in just a few hours. #newsewist #sagebrush #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #floral #ruffle #sewing #sewistsofinstagram #memadewardrobe #memademay #memademay2024 #garmentno9 #learningtosew #garmentmaking #dressmaking

Me Made May Day 23 A make from last summer that was a copy of a rtw top I’d seen. One of many @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush tops in a beige and white striped double gauze from @higgsandhiggs I left the sleeves wide and loose and added natural ric rac across the bust.

Day 2 of Me Made May, my working from home outfit. Top was made in 2020 out of a Liberty lawn, it comes out whenever the weather gets warmer. Pattern in the Sagebrush by @fridaypatterncompany. The trousers were sewn this year, out of a heavy cotton using the Thea Tilly and the buttons pattern. My dog kept wanting to play while I was taking photos. #fpcmemademay #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #memademay2025 #sewingthea #tillyandthebuttons #sewingover40

🎄🐇🧵 Peter Rabbit Christmas Blouse 🧵🐇🎄 I absolutely love this Christmas @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush Peter Rabbit Blouse I made in November. It's been worn in rotation again and again whilst I work from home and visit family. It's a perfect pairing piece with jeans, super comfortable and fun to wear! I was torn between a Marnie Blouse or the Sagebrush and glad I opted for the latter. This is such an easy piece to add to my wardrobe and fits well with my WFH and casual wardrobe. I can't resist a Peter Rabbit print and was torn between 3 different fabric options. I decided to treat myself to all 3 with some birthday money and the end result is 3 wonderful festive outfits. This print works well as a blouse and I love the pops of red and the cute festive print. This will be my Christmas Day Blouse as we have a long walk planned with family. I hope you are having a lovely weekend Pattern: Friday Pattern Company Sagebrush Top Fabric: Festive Peter Rabbit Cotton #FridayPatternCompanySagebrushTop #FridayPatternCompany #SagebrushTop #ChristmasSewing #Christmas #PeterRabbitFabric #SewistOfInstagram #Sewing #MillenialSewing #DIYFashion #ForTheLoveOfSewing #Handmadewardrobe #IndiePatterns #IndieSewing #ISewMyClothes #LoveToSew #MakersGonnaMake #PDFPattern

🧵🦊🪻 Fox Print Sagebrush Top🪻 🦊🧵 Today I am sharing another @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush Top made in this beautiful @cloud9fabrics Fox and Floral Print Cotton from @fleur.et.ours 😍 I absolutely adore this too and it feels perfect for this time of year! The cotton is lovely and soft and a beautiful bold and fun print to wear on those rather grey days. I purchased some of this fabric for a patchwork quilt I am making and ended up buying a few more metres for garments. I've made a shirt dress and had just enough for a top too! I did have to take the sleeve head in slightly due to playing pattern tetris! But the sleeve still has a lovely effect and gathering across the top of the sleeve. I've been enjoying wearing this top with my black and light blue mum jeans and a warm cardie. I feel like the Sagebrush Top is perfect for playing with print and colour. I have lots of other cut out 🤭 Pattern: Sagebrush Top from Friday Pattern Company Size: Fabric: Cloud 9 Fox and Floral Cotton from Fleur et Ours [Image Description: Lolly stands in front of a black fireplace wearing black jeans and a puff sleeve top. The top has a rounded neckline closed with neck ties and a high yoke. A small ruffle sits at the front yoke and puff sleeves finish in gathers.

Yay - heute gibt es bei @jinnyandjoe wieder traumhaft schöne neue Stoffe, unter anderem diese fantastische und luftig-weichen Viskose in grün-rosa-Blumenprint. Der Stoff trägt sich so mega angenehm und ist perfekt für tolle Sommerkleider und Blusen geeignet. Genäht habe ich mir das #sagebrushtop von @fridaypatterncompany in Größe 38 und habe dafür 1,50m Stoff verwendet. Für weitere tolle Design Beispiele aus den superschönen neuen Stoffen schaut unbedingt mal bei den anderen Mädels vorbei: #mybestie @___unikath___ @sallysews_sallysews @suess.war.gestern._ @joana.jogguli @gelbes_glueck @sewbonico *Werbung. #jinnyandjoe #jinnyandjoepatterns #viscose #jinnyandjoeviskose #bohoblouses #bohoblouse #sommerbluse #designnähen #sagebrush #sagebrushtop #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #sewingtops #blusenähen #sewinginspiration #nähideen #sewingblouse #hippiestyle #rüschenbluse #hippiechic #designnähen #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #slowsewing #summerwardrobe #summervibes

Why is the light in the toilets just so good?! Another toilet selfie but this time with my finished make from the weekend with @sewingescapes This is the @helens__closet #mossjacket made from cobalt bamboo viscose twill from @guthrieghani. The fabric is so soft and drapey so this is such a comfy and relaxed jacket to wear! I also used some of my leftover fabric from @whatvickimade to have a fabulous contrast inner back yoke and pocket linings- I thought The Art was perfect for this! I cut a size 18, and reduced the hem length by 1” (so 1” total instead of 2”) and I’m happy with the length. I didn’t reduce the sleeve volume (after advice from my fellow sewists at the retreat) and I’m happy as now I can wear my tops with puffy sleeves under the jacket without creasing them! Thanks for the advice 😊 To bring a bit of colour to Friday I paired it with my #sagebrushtop made from the yarn dyed stripe viscose, also from G&G. #sewing #sewingproject #sewingclothes #isewmyownclothes #helenscloset #helensclosetpatterns #helensclosetmoss #dressinbrightcolours #paintboxspring #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #sagebrushtop #sewingtall #sewingretreatproject

Me made May Day 13 Had a day off yesterday as I was recovering from Saturday. My body hates the heat so I’m much happier in today’s temperatures! I’m going to go through my me made tops today (after we collect a second hand greenhouse). This is top of my ‘don’t know’ pile. A @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush top in Lady McElroy cotton lawn. The sleeves seem so massive, I’m not keen on the colours or the floral print. I’ve really gone off florals - which is tricky as most of my stash is floral 🤦🏼‍♀️ Todays tune is once again back to the early 80s and my love of Madonna (at the True Blue album I went off her!). I had an amazing picture disk of Lucky Star ⭐️ #MeMadeMay24 #MMM24 #MeMadeMay #BathSews #BristolSews #MidSizeSewing #SewOver40 #SewOver50 #ChronicallySewn #MeMadeEveryday #SewistsOfInstagram #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop

I really wanted to make a Donny shirt with this remnant I had leftover, but I didn’t have enough fabric. However I managed to squeeze this sagebrush top out of it instead, I used a tutorial on YouTube for the flutter sleeves. I’m really pleased how it’s turned out and it will perfect for the warmer weather that we are desperately waiting for 🌞🤞🏼. This is my 2nd entry for the fabulous blouse challenge #sewaprilblouse24 a big thank you to @cloth_edit @theyorkshiresewgirl for organising this event! 😊 #sewingforwarmerweather #sagebrushtophack #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #isewmyownclothes

🐈‍⬛🧵 Spooky Cat Sagebrush Top🧵🐈‍⬛ @nataliejackson2193 Spooky Season top is complete and I am very very jealous!! I want one! Nats asked whether I would make her something with this amazing @dashwoodstudio Spooky Season Cat print cotton. We debated between a Sew Over It Shirt Dress or a Tilly and The Buttons Marnie Blouse, but decided on a @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush Top. I have made a couple of these and Nats has had a sneaky peek of these and agrees that they are a great addition to your wardrobe! This fabric was a dream to work with and it took no time at all to whip this up! I added a few cms onto the sleeve length, but otherwise made no adjustments. I did think I would need to take some of the sleeve width out of the gathered area, but managed to just get the pattern pieces out of 2ms. The top was made in a size small in the bust and the waist. Nats is similar to my size so I am sure this will fit her as well. I took some time to work out what would be seen on the frill piece and think this turned out well. I do wonder whether I should have done this in a contrasting fabric to make it stand out more, but you would miss the cut little cat faces peeping out of the ruffle. I'm not really into Halloween, but I am really jealous of this top and wish it was going into my wardrobe! Atleast I was able to wear it and get some photos! We decided on a top as she could wear this over the rest of autumn and winter as it is not too 'halloweeny', but will be perfect to wear when her little one is dressed up! I will try to get some photos of Natalie in the top and maybe some photos of her little one dressed up for Halloween (their costume is a good one!) Don't worry Nats I will get this in the post this week 😉 Have a lovely evening x Pattern: Friday Pattern Company Sagebrush Top Size: Small Fabric: Dashwood Studio Spooky Cat Cotton from Create with Colour - Ebay #SagebrushTop #FridayPatternCompany #FridayPatternCompanySagebrushTop #SelflessSewing #AutumnSewing #HalloweenSewing #SewistOfInstagram #Sewing #MillenialSewing #ForTheLoveOfSewing #Handmadewardrobe #IndiePatterns #IndieSewing #ISewMyClothes #LoveToSew #MakersGonnaMake #PDFPattern

I love this pattern so much. Another Sagebrush Top using contrast fabric. Super happy with this version. Love the linen / broderie anglaise combo. Perfect fabric for summer. #sagebrushtop #sagebrushtophack #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop @fridaypatterncompany

Minerva has released a new kit and I had the pleasure of getting to try it. This is the Sagebrush top by Friday Pattern Co. and one of their Minerva exclusive rayon challis fabrics. I made the size L with no alterations. It is a fairly quick sew, with the only trickier part being the bias binding. Instead of stitching in the ditch, I hand sewed it, which I find I have more control over. This was my first time working with a Friday Pattern Co pattern, and definitely not my last (I've made this pattern again and another one of their patterns since). The pattern books are clear and easy to follow, and the styles are unique. If you would like to buy this kit, or anything else at Minerva, with a 10% discount, you can use the code MSS243JS. (Please note that I will receive a small commission with no extra cost to you).

Time for tea in my #sagebrushtop. I definitely need to make more of these, as it was lovely to sew and wear. This gorgeous fabric from @fleur.et.ours 💕. #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #sewingtop #sewing

Happy Friday Instagram friends! It’s been a rollercoaster of a week weather wise in Cardiff - it can’t decide if it wants to be summer or autumn. We’ve had glorious sunshine and hectic and heavy rain showers. I wore my @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush top yesterday for a day of meetings and admin prep for the coming uni semester. I made the top a few years ago from fabric my mum @potts2554 gave me for my birthday. I adore the colour and always feel good when I wear it. I’m all about dopamine dressing at the moment and it’s making me really happy. We’re about to move house and so I’m trying to wear as many of my fun and colourful outfits before it turns into yoga tights and T-shirts I don’t mind getting dusty for the foreseeable future! What did you wear today? #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #sagebrushtop #fpcsagebrush #memadeeveryday #memadeonrepeat #memadewardrobe #handmadewardrobe #millenialsewing #petitesewing #isewmyownclothes #diyootd #ootd #sewcardiff #walessews #sewinginwales

What a perfect top for this hot weather. This is my third Sage Brush Top by @fridaypatterncompany, using beautiful broderie anglaise from @needlecrafthemelhempstead. I think I will leave the sleeves loose and floaty. #sagebrushtop #whitetop #isewmyownclothes #summertop #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop

The ultimate summer top! Take a look at our Pattern of the Month - the @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush top. A frill at the front and just look at those sleeves! I’ve used our Layla viscose fabric. It feels so soft and luxurious. Order the pattern and fabric online by clicking product links.

This morning I was head to toe in clothes that I have made!! It felt good. Met a friend @lashingsoflipstick for a lovely breakfast catch up amongst the free range chickens at the garden centre…forgot photos! 🐓 Top is @fridaypatterncompany #sagebrushtop in a lovely @libertyfabrics #tanalawn and I am sure this will be a go to top as the weather gets warmer. Trousers are @homerandhowells #maudtrousers in a viscose cupro from @sistermintaka. I get so much wear from these as they are so comfy! I can confirm I didn’t wear this to sort out my veggie patch this afternoon!! #sistermintaka #imakemyownclothes #memademay #memademay2024 #memadewardobe #memadeeveryday #imadethis #makingmyownclothes #sewing #sewersofinstagram #sewover40 #libertyfabric #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #homerandhowells #tanalawncotton

Make number 2 from this weekend is also my entry for #sewaprilblouse24 being run by @theyorkshiresewgirl and @cloth_edit This is the fabulous @fridaypatterncompany Sagebrush top in a gorgeous viscose fabric from @guthrieghani I cut a size large, and added 2” to the length at the bottom. I also played around with the stripe placement. This fabric was a pleasure to work with- it’s super soft, irons really well and the stripes are really consistent so it made cutting out much easier. Made on day 1 of the @izzosewstudio sewing retreat in Sheffield. #fridaypatterncompany #fridaypatterncompanysagebrushtop #sewaprilblouse24 #springsewing #guthrieghani #izzosewstudio #sewingretreat #sewingtall
