Hello my fellow stitchers, hope you're having a great start to your weekend. Today's post isn't going to be of a finished make, I haven't made anything since my Rosa dress. I have been quite busy though; prepping pattern pieces (tracing, yikes!) for March projects, prepping my fabrics, gathering supplies and things, you know the … Continue reading Burda Style March 2019

Hello everyone, hope you had a nice Christmas break. I decided to take a short break from blogging and social media, just to chill, relax, recharge, you know? December was a bit challenging to me health-wise, nothing big but I'm still struggling a bit with my bad back. But I did have a nice Christmas … Continue reading Fashion, the Essential Visual Guide to the World of Style by Karen Homer | Book Review

Have been doing #quickkickapril (hosted by the lovely @kickinthecreatives ladies) with the Hubs - he does short stories. I got a bit carried away with yesterday's prompt though 🙈 I'm trying out this very new-to-me medium (gouache) and I rather like it. Works better on my @travelers_company sketchbook paper than watercolour. Anyways... happy Friyay 🥳 #sketchbookpractice #gouache #dailysketch #travelersnotebook #winsorandnewtongouache

I. Am. In 🥳🥳🥳 I looove jumpsuits! And dungas. And rompers. I want to make them allll 😅 first one up will be my Anza jumpsuit. Are you joining in? Thank you @sewsarahsmith @rocco.sienna and @sewing_in_spain for hosting this challenge 💕 #sewtogetherforsummer #instasewingchallenge #instasewing

My dress is finally finished! Is it Summer yet??? So, this is my Anza dress, pattern by my new favourite designer @itchtostitch 😊 I didn't make major alteration on the pattern other than shortening the skirt by 2.5 inches. I also omitted the breast pockets because I think that would not work with my choice of fabric - the print being relatively large. I also went against the waist tie (drawstring) and folding up the cuffs, I think my fabric doesn't require additional little details - it's loud enough 😂 But it's perfect as it is for me, and I'm totally in love with it. My most favourite part about this dress is that beautiful curved hem! 😍😍😍 No more straight hem on my dresses from now on 😉 The Anza has got two versions; a dress and jumpsuit - I'm working on my jumpsuit version. It comes in cup size A all the way to DD, and size 00 to 20. How amazing is that??? It does come with generous amount of ease, which to me is perfect - a bit loose-fitting but still smart enough. My fabric is this amazing viscose and linen blend in blush pink. The drape! Oh the drape! 😍 It is officially my favourite fabric ever!!! I could go on forever about how much I love this pattern, but I'll spare you that (I'm nice that way 😅). Head over to my blog (#linkinbio) if you'd like to see more photos and an even more detailed review. This pattern deserves a gazillion stars, I think. 😉 #thefairstitchsews #sewingblog #anzadress #itchtostitchpatterns #sewinglove #isewmyownclothes #isew #handmadewardrobe #memade #memadeeveryday #makersgonnamake #dressmaking #seamstress #sewersofinstagram #sewist #sewingblogger #janomemakes #imakemyclothes #sewistsofinstagram #dressmaker #indiesewing #indiepatterns

Progress on my #anzadress I'm really taking my time with my projects lately. I also cut down my weekly sewing hours by half to make room for my other creative outlets. I have been missing my paints and the feel of dough in my hands so badly. Basically creating something that isn't a garment. Yes, I'm hunting that ever so elusive thing called balance again. As of right now, life is good. I'm happy. My mind is buzzing with ideas. I was created to create, so create I shall, whatever it is 😁 Back to the dress, so I've now finished the bodice facing. The (grown-on) sleeves are going to be cuffed, and then I'll put a teeny tiny waistband/elastic casing on the bodice, attach the skirt (with pockets, obv) and then finish the beautiful curved hem 🤩 I wrote a blog post about this WIP and my fabric, just follow the link in my profile if you're interested to read and see more pics. I hope you have a wonderful day, I'm off to see the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition 🥳🥳🥳🥳 #thefairstitchsews #workinprogress #sewingblog #sewinglove #handmadewardrobe #memade #isewmyownclothes #slowsewing #slowfashion #sewingblogger #sewingwip #makersgonnamake

Well hello pretty understitching 😍😍😍 Project: @itchtostitch - Anza dress. . . . . . . . #thefairstitchsews #sewinglove #indiesewing #indiepatterns #handmadewardrobe #slowsewing #slowfashion #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #anzadress

Finally a blog post goes live! Yay! This time I'm sharing something exciting; my very own skirt, yep, self-drafted one. From the dreaming, sketching, to the little details 😁 I thoroughly enjoyed this project, it really stretched my creative muscles. Took me about a week from making the pattern to final press. It's nowhere near perfect, but I'm truly happy with it. A dear friend told me when you look at your work, remember to note 2 things you like about it and pick one to work on so as not to hinder your own growth by being overly critical. Such such sound advice. Obviously I have a lot more things to work on but I made sure I have twice as many things I love about this project.😊 The fabric I used is 8oz washed denim in indigo from @fabricgodmother Oh, here I paired the skirt with an old make Butterick 6182 boxy top. I'm really into boxy tops these days 😃 You can read more about my process of making this skirt on the blog if you're interested, link's in my bio. Have a lovely weekend, you wonderful lot 😘💕💕 #thefairstitchsews #handmadewardrobe #memade #sewingblogger #sewingblog #sewist #sewersofinstagram #sewinglove #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #slowsewing #slowfashion
