Bonjour!

When I'm not sewing, I love to spend my me-time either drawing, journaling, reading a book, or baking.

Getting my sewjo back with these yellow linen #pietrapants 😍 (my fourth pair!! Guess I really love this pattern, huh?) Oh, apparently I'm a sewing legend according to @closetcase.patterns 😉 #thefairstitchsews #closetcasepatterns #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #indiepatterns #indiesewing #memadewardrobe #dressmaker #sewinglove #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #memade #makersgonnamake

Today on the blog I talk about my #NL6217 tops - yes, tops cos I made not one, but two! Both in @atelierbrunette dreamy viscose crepe I purchased from the lovely @sistermintaka 👌 Definitely one of my favourite fabrics ever! Pairing my top here with my beloved #pietrashorts in denim and #sewingbrigitte scarf in same fabric. Head over to the blog for more deets (also how I fixed the wide neckline), link in bio ☝️ #thefairstitchsews #sewingblog #sewinglove #handmadewardrobe #memade #newlook6217 #isewmyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #dressmaker #seamstress #sewingblogger #makersgonnamake #sewist #instasewing #memadeeveryday #isew #atelierbrunette

Finally blogged about my remake of #winslowculottes by @helens__closet 😁 I looooove this long version! I used the dreamy @atelierbrunette viscose crepe in Dune Night - paired with simple tee also in AB viscose crepe in Melba. As per usual, link to the post is up there in my bio ☝️☝️☝️ Happy (long) weekend, lovely peeps 💕 🍻 #thefairstitchsews #sewingblog #indiepatterns #indiesewing #memadewardrobe #diyootd #liverpoolsews #handmadewardrobe #slowsewing #slowfashion #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #memade #makersgonnamake #sewist #instasewing #sewinglove #memadeeveryday #isew

One of my fave outfits this Summer: #kalleshirt in Lady Mcelroy cotton lawn and #pietrapants wide leg version in viscose-linen blend. Super comfy 👌 both fabrics are purchased from @sewmesunshine.uk I have been totally into @closetcase.patterns lately. So far I've made 3 Kalles and 4 pairs of Pietra. And... I'm planning more 😂 #thefairstitchsews #handmadewardrobe #memade #closetcasepatterns #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #sewinglove #indiepatterns #indiesewing #memadewardrobe #diyootd #isewmyownclothes #slowsewing #slowfashion #sewing #liverpoolsews

Before I started sewing I was sooo not into dresses. All my life I have only bought 3 dresses, once when I was still in Indonesia (I think I was 15), and twice here because that's what adults do, right? 😂 But I love sewing dresses, though I still don't wear them often. This dress is one of the dresses I made early in my sewing journey (almost 3 years ago already! 😳 ) and I still loooove wearing it - it's the dress I would reach for first everytime I'm in the mood to wear a dress. Being a newb, I chose the fabric that actually hides all the cool details in this @merchantandmills #camberdress 🤦‍♀️ Namely the cool visible bias binding on the front neckline, my patch pockets, and the yoke in the back. But I love it nonetheless, one of my firm favourite makes 😁. Are you a dress/skirt lover or are you more into shorts/trousers like me? #thefairstitchsews #sewinglove #handmadewardrobe #memade #isewmyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #indiepatterns #indiesewing #memadeeveryday #merchantandmills #memadewardrobe #dressmaker #seamstress

Hiya lovely peeps! 🙋‍♀️ Been a bit quiet around here the past couple of weeks, life took over. Had some work done to the house and it feels like all I did everyday was cleaning mess (you know how it is) 😵 haven't had proper studio time in what feels like forever. But... I'm back sewing today 🥳 first project: shirt for the Hubs. I'm using Fairfield button-up pattern from @threadtheorydesigns paired with @atelierbrunette cotton lawn that I purchased from @minervadotcom 👌 #sewistsofinstagram #sewinglove #indiesewing #indiepatterns #instasewing #memadewardrobe #thefairstitchsews #handmadewardrobe
