Bonjour!

Welcome to my blog, I'm Faye, the resident stitcher here at The Fair Stitch. I'm Indonesian living in the North West of England.
When I'm not sewing, I love to spend my me-time either drawing, journaling, reading a book, or baking.

Whoaaa Sunday's almost over already! 😭 I've been busy, finishing this Kalle dress and writing the blog post for it... and lots of playing Crash Team Racing battle mode with the Hubs. 😂 Anyways, as I was saying, I finally finished the Kalle project. Boy oh boy, I fell in love with this pattern... hard! So on the blog today, I gushed over @closetcase.patterns and reviewed the pattern a bit 😅 As per usual, the link to the post is in my bio. ☝️☝️ The fabric I used is See You at Six 100% viscose that I purchased from @sewmesunshine.uk a while back... back in October actually as I bought it to make my birthday dress 🤦‍♀️ I am glad I finally found the perfect pattern for it. 👌 Hope you're enjoying the rest of your weekend 🍻 #thefairstitchsews #kalleshirtdress #closetcasepatterns #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #sewinglove #sewingblogger #sewingblog #indiepatterns #indiesewing ##memade #handmadewardrobe #slowsewing #slowfashion #sewing #isewmyownclothes #seeyouatsixfabric #memadewardrobe #diyootd

So what to do when you have 70cm of fabric and you're not thinking of pockets or trims? I decided to make a new top 😁 Today on the blog I talked about this very easy top from #newlook6217 and also a mini tutorial on how I apply bias binding on necklines and armholes. I eliminated the back opening on this top, so the instructions on the bias finish were of no help for me. Head over to the blog if you fancy a read, link in bio 😁 #thefairstitchsews #sewingblog #sewinglove #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #memade #makersgonnamake #sewist #instasewing #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewingblogger

Oh this pattern!!!! 😍 There I was, ready with my July projects all lined up perfectly (even got all the notions ready - I was super organised for once). And suddenly... bam! @closetcase.patterns dropped the amazing Rome collection. The Pietra is the one that stole my heart (and messed up my project queue 🤣). Looks like my blog will be CCP heavy in July. 😃 #seamstress #indiepatterns #indiesewing #sewistsofinstagram #dressmaker #closetcasepatterns #sewinglove #sewingblogger

Today's #diyootd #ogdencami and #mndawnjeans (@marksandspencer cardi), and my @pinkcoatclub Me Made necklace... also featuring York's brilliant weather - at last 😁 #seamstress #sewist #slowfashion #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #memade #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe
