Went out for a walk today and finally got some photos of my favourite pair of dress pants I've made in my "office wear" sewing phase. These pants are super comfy and I love how professional they look! I never saw myself wearing wider leg trousers but I have been converted! The pants are the Darcy pattern from @dressmakingamore Fabric to be honest I can't fully remember. I *think* it's the Burlington suiting from GK Fabrics, but not 100% sure. Either way thrilled with how these came out 😊 #sewistsofinstagram #sewingproject #ilovetosew #isewmyownclothes #darcypants #dressmakingamore #memade

🇫🇷 J'ai mis un moment avant de céder à la #blouseanthea d'@annaallenclothing. Aucun regret. Non mais regardez-moi cette encolure et ces manches 😍. Je l'ai cousu dans la moiteur de Paea, attaquée par les moustiques mais trop concentrée pour lâcher mon ouvrage. Je la porte avec mon #pantalonDarcy tout froissé, je suis pas contre. 🇬🇧 It took me a while to sew @annaallenclothing's #antheablouse . No regrets. Look at that neckline ! Those sleeves 😍. I sewed it in the humidity of Paea, attacked by mosquitoes but too focused to let go of my work. I'm wearing it with my #darcypants, all wrinkled but I'm not against it. #annaallenclothing #dressmakingamore #sewing @dressmakingamore #sewistsofinstagram

Very proud day watching my daughter graduate in a suit I made. I'll write it all up at some point as I think I need to write out all the stress of making for a special event. My daughter wanted a yellow suit and had bought a rtw version and asked if I could alter it (you can see a pic of the rtw version in the last pic). I foolishly said it would be easier to make one! The fabric is @minervadotcom Core Range Suiting which had the colour she wanted. The patterns are both from @dressmakingamore the Darcy pants and Marlene vest. Both are great easy to follow patterns with videos to help on any tricky bits. Very proud of myself and my daughter! #graduation #sewingtrousers #sewingwaistcoat #sewingforspecialoccasions #malenevest #darcypants #sewOver50 #minervafabrics

🇫🇷 J'ajoute une pièce basique à mon dressing. Je suis de plus en plus exigeante sur le choix des patrons que je couds. Je veux un vêtement qui tombe bien et des finitions impeccables. Ici, j'ai combiné le patron #darcypants de @dressmakingamore (que j'ai déjà cousu en lin et dont j'adore la coupe) avec les instructions de compétition du #billytrousers de @bellalovespatterns. Je l'ai cousu dans une crêpe de laine bleu nuit. Tu le portes dress up avec des talons, dress down avec un tee-shirt et des baskets. Il est fluide, il est chic, il est confort. Je peux faire du vélo avec. Meilleur projet. 🇬🇧 I'm adding a basic piece to my wardrobe. I am more and more demanding in the choice of patterns that I sew. I want a garment that fits well and has impeccable details. Here I combined the #darcypants pattern from @dressmakingamore (which I've already sewn in linen and love the fit) with the instructions from the #billytrousers (one of @bellalovespatterns gems). I sewed it in a midnight blue wool crepe. You can dress it up, dress it down , it's fluid, it's chic, it's comfortable. I can bike with it. Love. • Pattern: #darcypants, size 8. • Fabric: navy wool crepe from @s.t.r.a.g.i.e.r #bellalovespatterns #dressmakingamore #stragiertissus #dapatterns

believe it or not.... I sewed another pair of black trousers! these are the #darcypants by @dressmakingamore in a size 8. For the mods, I added 5cm in length and I took in the waist a bit by widening each front pleat by 7mm and each back dart by 4mm and it fits great! As you can see on the pictures I'm still struggling with sewing fly zips on pants and they always end up looking wonky so if you have any advice I'll take it 🙏 fabric is a wool twill from @lestissusduchienvert #imakemyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #memade #sewing #couture #jecoudsmagarderobe #makersgonnamake #makersmovement

🪡 64 | Chemisier Janie & Pantalon Darcy Il y a quelques semaines j'ai trouvé un coupon de 1m60 de crêpe 100% soie dans le bac des tissus de moins de 3m aux coupons de saint pierre. Je n'ai pas hésité une seule seconde, imaginant un joli chemisier pour le printemps. Non sans appréhension je me suis lancée dans la confection d'un chemisier Janie dans cette soie, qui au final ne m'a pas tant fait galérer que ça car le tissu étant un peu texturé, il ne glissait pas autant que le satin de soie par exemple. J'ai quand même pris mon temps pour le coudre et avoir de belles finitions. Résultat j'ai un chemisier en soie corail que j'ai trop hâte de porter 🧡 Niveau patron, j'ai cousu le chemisier en T36 et les manches en T40 pour être à l'aise. Je rencontre toujours une difficulté au niveau de l'assemblage du pied de col à l'encolure : le pied de col est trop court et j'ai systématiquement des plis a l'assemblage (cachés au porté par le col, mais bon...), malgré le fait que le sachant j'avais rallonge le pied de col et le col mais ça n'a pas suffi...est ce que vous avez ce problème si vous avez cousu Janie ? J'en profite pour participer au #defichemiseparty organisé par @morganepenelope 🤞🏼 Patron : Chemisier Janie @apollinepatterns & Pantalon Darcy @dressmakingamore Tissu : Soie & tissu tailleur @lescouponsdesaintpierre #lescouponsdesaintpierre #soie #dressmakingamore #dressmakingamoredarcy #apollinepatterns #apollinette #chemisierjanie #darcypants #janiepattern #totallookhandmade #totallookcousumain #jecoudsmagarderobe #jeportecequejecouds #isewformyself #isewmyownclothes #sewingaddict #sewistofinstagram #sewingproject #sewsewsew #springlook

Holidays over the years with my fluffy ginger baby. It’s going to be hard and so not the same without you. This would have made fifteen Yules for us.

(english below) 🇫🇷 J’ai toujours adoré collecter des images. J’ai chez moi, dans mes placards de petite fille, des photos récoltées au gré de mes lectures, dans les magazines, les livres. Des paysages, des visages, des attitudes. Ça ne m’a pas quitté. Encore aujourd’hui, je fais imprimer des images sur papier-photo, et souvent je les regarde, je les assemble, je les affiche. Le mood-board, c’est revenir à cette entreprise de fourmi, à cette joie enfantine de les arranger sur le mur de ma chambre. De les changer une fois lassée. Pour cet été, je veux : - Une robe légère, en soie, aux couleurs de la terre. (#crosbybiasdress) - Un pantalon beige en lin (de la lumière, de l’espace !) (#dadarcypants) - Il me manque des hauts. - Une tenue qui dépasse les bornes, qui déborde, qui explose. - Des volumes. Pour cet été, j’aimerais : - Un foulard coloré, acidulé pour mettre dans mes cheveux. Nuancier : la terre + des touches bonbon acidulé [J’avais déjà fait un mood-board cet hiver : j’ai pratiquement cousu tous mes objectifs, sauf le manteau.] 🇬🇧 I've always loved collecting images. At home, I have pictures I collected when I was a kid while reading magazines and books. Landscapes, faces, attitudes. They've never left me. Still today, I print images on glossy paper and often look at them. The mood board brings me back to the childhood joy of arranging them on my bedroom walls, beavering away these precious treasures. To change them when I got bored. For this summer, I want : - A light silk dress in earthy colors. (#crosbybiasdress) - Beige linen pants (light, space!) (#darcypants) - A few neutral tops. - An outfit that goes over the top, overflows, and explodes. - Volumes. For this summer, I'd like : - A colorful, neon scarf to wear in my hair. Color palette: earthy + hints of sour candy. [I'd already made a mood board this winter: I've practically sewn all my to-do list, except for the coat]. #moodboard #summerwardrobe #slowfashion #sewing

These pants are incredible! They are lightweight, drapey and flattering. Perfect for work, date night or a day out. These #darcypants are custom made out of the #cupro fabric I have in stock. This fabric is light and has a soft silky feel, and it's made from cotton waste! Natural, environmentally friendly and certified Oeko-Tex 100 standard. Book in a design consult to discuss having your own Darcy Pants made out of this beautiful fabric, or even a different one.

🪡 62 | Pantalon Darcy Voilà quelque temps que ce patron de pantalon me fait de l'oeil, et je me suis dit que j'allais le tenter avec ce coupon de tissu tailleur haute couture shoppé à moitié prix dans le bac des coupons de moins de 3m @lescouponsdesaintpierre chez @modesettravaux D'après le tableau des tailles, la taille 6 me correspondait tant au niveau du tour de taille qu'à celui du tour de hanches (ce qui est rarement le cas) et à l'essayage qu'elle ne fut pas ma joie de constater qu'il m'allait parfaitement !! Aucune modification donc pour cette réalisation 🫶🏼 Le tissu est un poil transparent sur les fesses mais avec un sous-vêtement adapté, ça passe nickel. J'ai profité des douces températures de mon sud natal pour faire quelques photos printanières 💚 Patron : Pantalon Darcy @dressmakingamore Tissu : Tailleur laine vierge élasthanne fines rayures marine fond beige @lescouponsdesaintpierre #lescouponsdesaintpierre #modesettravaux #dressmakingamore #dressmakingamoredarcy #darcypants #jecoudsmagarderobe #jeportecequejecouds #isewformyself #isewmyownclothes #sewingaddict #sewistofinstagram #sewingproject #sewsewsew

Rest In Peace, Darcy. I love you forever, and you will forever be missed. Right now, I can’t stop crying, but I’m glad I got to spend the best moments of my life with you, and I was there until the last moment of yours. Your brother-cat and I are mourning you immensely. Fourteen years is a long run, best friend. I wish it could have been longer, but you’re amazing. Say hi to your Pepere and mine. #rip #darcypants

#darcypants by @dressmakingamore 🤩🩵 I used a light blue twill cotton 😆 Made size 4 and took off 17cm off the length! No other mods. This is the first pants I’ve made and I love how it turned out😍 Planning to make another one in an off white colour 🤍 - #dressmakingamore #dapatterns #trousers #handmade #memade #sewing #sewsewsew

Hi. My name is Mr. Darcy and I love my mama so much I won’t leave her side. This is how I’m thanking her for washing off my cement paws and setting up a brand new litterbox with crystal litter for me and my brother, so it doesn’t stick in our paws. Also, the project in her lap might be her most fun and peculiar yet, but she’s not ready to show it to the world for a bit. 🐾🐱💞 ⠀ ⠀ #darcypants #spooksmcbennet #catsofinstagram #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #yarn

Since I arrived in much hotter latitudes, i did get a couple of sunburns. So for a couple of days, I switched my tank top and shorts for my #darcypants from @dressmakingamore and #taloversizedshirt from @theassemblylineshop. I love the combo. It is breathable, covers the skin. You can dress it up by tugging the shirt in. I don't have my sewing machine here and might be away from it for a couple of months, i already crave it. I might borrow one along the way 😊🌺🌊 #sewing #dressmakingamore #theassemblyline

🪡 | Look 3 | Top Arwen & Short Darcy Association marron/jaune, j'étais pas convaincue de l'effet, et puis finalement j'ai bien aimé le rendu ! Ici je porte Arwen avec le pantalon Darcy version short. C'est ma deuxième version de ce patron et vraiment, je l'adore. Je lui ai mis ce gros bouton en bois zébré qui m'avait tapé dans l'oeil dans une mercerie parisienne il y a quelques mois et je trouve que ça lui va plutôt bien 👀 Patron : Top Arwen @theblankk_ & Short Darcy @dressmakingamore Tissu : Crêpe de viscose Lily & toile de coton @lescouponsdesaintpierre #toparwen #theblankk #lescouponsdesaintpierre #dressmakingamore #darcypants #pantalondarcy#darcyshorts #jecoudscequejeporte #jeportecequejecouds #jecoudsmagarderobe #jecoudspourmoi #isewformyself #isewmyownclothes #isewforme #sewistofinstagram #sewsewsew #sewingaddict #totallookhandmade #handmadeoutfit #handmade #cousumain

Check out these latest Darcy Pants! It feels so good to be sewing again, especially to start off with a gorgeous pair of custom made #darcypants 😍 These flowy and lightweight pants are made from French crepe, which gives the gorgeous texture without the plastic crunchy feeling of regular crepe fabric. This fabric is so soft and drapey it flatters any body type, and especially suits the Darcy pants! You can have your own pair made especially for you!

Ready for fall 🍁 Happy sewing #fæbfrakk #darcypants

I am loving the fabric this client brought to make custom pants out of! We also decided to add some faux welt pockets as a subtle detail to break up the pattern a bit at the back, and we also lined it with some super soft tencel for that lovely feel against the skin. This fabric fell so nicely which flattered my client's figure. I'm so happy that my client loved it!

🇫🇷J'avais un tas de pantalons en lin blanc/crème dans mes inspirations pour cet été. J'ai choisi de coudre le #pantalondarcy de @dressmakingamore. J'adorais la coupe et je n'ai pas été déçue. Le lin blanc était transparent par contre. J'ai essayé de doubler la partie supérieure du pantalon, mais c'était hyper inconfortable tout ce tissu. Je suis passée à l'option n°2 : j'ai retiré la doublure et j'ai teint le pantalon dans cette couleur chocolat. J'envisage déjà une deuxième paire pour cet automne dans une laine marine. Comme je mesure 1,73m, les patrons de pantalon peuvent souvent être un peu serrés près de l'entrejambe. Rien de tout ça ici. Je l'adore ! 🇬🇧Had a bunch of white/cream linen pants as inspo for this summer. I chose to sew the #darcypants from @dressmakingamore. I loved the fit and was not disappointed. White linen was too transparent though. I tried to line the upper part of the pants, for decency. Bulky, uncomfortable. Switch for option n°2 : i removed the lining and dyed it this muted chocolate colour. I'm already planning a second pair for this autumn in a navy wool. Because i'm 5'8, pants can often be a bit tight near the crotch. None of this here. I love it. (Fully embracing the wrinkly nature of linen) • Pattern: #darcypants from @dressmakingamore (size 8? No mods) • Fabric: linen from @robertkaufman • Dye: @ritdye in camel and chocolate brown #sewing #linenpants #slowfashion #dapatterns

I am just obsessed with these #darcy pants 😍 This time I used a lightweight pinstripe fabric from @stoffbox.naber to make the wide legged pants, pattern by @dressmakingamore 🧵 The pants are just ultra comfortable and flowy, making them perfect for summer and yet they still look quite fancy 🌞

St Stephens Day mood be like .... #catsofinstagram #darcypants

This is just a random internet cat. So I have no idea HOW, but this cat is definitely my Mr. Darcy AND his spirit animal, too. ⠀ #catsofinstagram #darcypants #butNOTdarcypants #catsareweird #spiritanimal

So this boy is being cute and lazy and giving me sad eyes because he’s heard the words “new litter box,” and had his legs washed down enough times to know he’s getting (at least) a pantaloons/belly down bath on Tuesday when said litter box arrives and we switch to silica crystals. Maine Coons and their damned fluffy toes. And fuck that off brand litter I got stuck having to buy in the pandemic, for making my baby boy grimy when he prefers to be pristine. #darcypants #catsofinstagram #mainecoon #bathtime #newlitter #totalcrazycatmom

#memademay2025 recap and my favorite outfits✨ Since I usually already wear something I've made myself, the real challenge this year was capturing the outfits and trying new combinations. I realised that, especially for work, I tend to wear quite basic outfits and rotate my favourite homemade clothing items. I would have liked to wear some of my more summery pieces, but I really struggled to find outfits suitable for the rather cool spring days 🙆🏼‍♀️ Ultimately, I mostly wore homemade trousers (rotating between my three pairs of #msworkertrousers by @modern_sewing_co and my #dadarcypants by @dressmakingamore ), and I realised that I could add some more shirts (ones that aren't basic tops or long-sleeved) 🌞 While I haven't shown much of it here (yet), I also managed to do a bit more sewing this month and finished four projects for myself and friends 🧵

This is truly the most perfect trousers pattern and I already have plans for more! Pattern: @dressmakingamore Darcy Pants Fabric: Sewfisticated in Boston #sewing #handmadewardrobe #sewingpatterns #memade #dadarcypants #dressmakingamore

Loved making the #dadarcypants this week! The matching trousers to the blazer I made for my sister a few months ago so she can have a full set ☺️ … as per usual everything could do with a final press 🤗👀 #memadewardrobe #sewing #sewinginstagram

✨Darcy✨ Bon día! Je vous présente le pantalon Darcy qui est une coupe droite, plus ou moins ample. J’ai utilisé une gabardine stretch qui ressemble fortement au crêpe de plolyester. En ce qui concerne la réalisation, c’est un patron facile à réaliser et en plus, on est accompagné d’une vidéo YouTube. Je suis un peu déçue de cette cousette déjà parce que je l’ai coupé un peu trop court à mon goût et je n’aime pas le rendu avec ce tissu. Si je le refais, j’utiliserai un tissu un peu rigide comme du Wax. Pour ce look, je l’ai associé à la chemise Billie de @slow_sunday_paris 🧵patron: @dressmakingamore 🧵tissu: @ribesycasals #dadarcypants #dadarcypattern #50nuancesdecouture #ribesycasals #jeportecequejecouds #jecoudscequejeporte #cosermola #cosermisuperpoder #jecoudsmagarderobe #jecoudsdoncjesuis #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #coutureaddict #couturedebutant #slowsewing
