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

Sorry, I can't seem to stop posting and babbling about MY MEMADE JEANS! 🤦‍♀️🤣 Anyways, I've just posted the full (detailed, and veeeeery lengthy) review of the Dawn Jeans by @megannielsenpatterns on my blog, just follow the link in my bio if you've got a few hours to spare. 😄 As per usual, I talk about the pattern, the fabric, the changes I made, what I think of the finished object, and you know, stuff. Lol. 😛 But in case you don't have a few hours to spare, I'll give you the short and sweet version here - I'm nice that way 😉: Fabric: 8oz washed denim in blue, 100% cotton, purchased from @fabricgodmother (love this fabric!) Size made: 12. Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have a wonderful day, lovely peeps 💕 #thefairstitchsews #handmadewardrobe #memade #isewmyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #indiepatterns #indiesewing #memadeeveryday #dressmaker #seamstress #sewingblogger #makersgonnamake #sewist #instasewing #sewinglove #memadewardrobe #mndawn #mndawnjeans

Trying to take pics of my #mndawnjeans today but the weather was being too much of a PITA, couldn't work it indoors, gotta try again tomorrow. But I'm too excited... so here are my new pair of jeans. I made jeans, y'all!!! 💃 Woohoo! Feels like I've just unlocked an achievement here 🤣 Jeans : @megannielsenpatterns Dawn. Top: #sewingmarigold button front hack in viscose challis. Necklace: barely visible but it's my beautiful new Me Made necklace from @pinkcoatclub in white and rose gold. 😍 #thefairstitchsews #handmadewardrobe #memade #isewmyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #memadeeveryday #indiepatterns #indiesewing #megannielsenpatterns #sewinglove

So, how do you feel about installing rivets? I know some sewists find it fun and a good stress-buster, I found it stress-inducing. 🤦‍♀️ As you probably know already, I've been working on my first ever jeans, and the project is done... sort of. I was planning to install 9 rivets, abandoned the whole thing after 5. I only did two on each back pockets, one on the edge of coin pocket in the front. I used a big hammer and Prym rivets with the help of @fabricgodmother 's clear video tutorial and I was still struggling. Maybe I need to invest in rivet press? Hmmm... Do you have easier method to install the rivets? Full blog post on this project and review of the Dawn jeans should be ready tomorrow. 🤞 #thefairstitchsews #sewing #indiesewing #jeansmaking #memadewardrobe #indiepatterns #isewmyownclothes #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #sewinglove #sewingblogger

#sewmanyquestions | Who's The Fair Stitch? 🤷‍♀️ Well, it's just me. 😅 So, today on the blog I decided to do the #sewmanyquestions tag initiated by @thecamdenstitch and @thespeckyseamstress on YT (this is actually intended for sewing vloggers, but I'm a rebel 😋). Sharing a bit more personal things, also to celebrate reaching a big milestone (to me) with the blog. Follow the link in my bio if you fancy a read. I'm still working on my Dawn Jeans, actually the project is on hold right now as I'm preparing to head down to London tomorrow. So far I am really enjoying it, I don't know why I waited this long to make a pair of jeans. 🤦‍♀️ Anyways, hope you're enjoying your weekend. Xx #sewingblogger #sewinglove #sewistsofinstagram

Current WIP 👖 Can't wait to wear them!!! Aaaah 🥰 #thefairstitchsews #handmadewardrobe #mndawn #isewmyownclothes #memade #makersgonnamake #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #sewinglove #sewsewsew #jeansmaking

Bam! My third entry for #sewtogetherforsummer is done! 🥳 This is the #peppermintplaysuit from @peppermintmagazine and @inthefolds in viscose-linen blend. The fabric looks familiar, doesn't it? 😉 Remember my Anza dress? I had just a little under 1.5m leftover that I was planning to turn into a top, but this Peppermint Playsuit pattern was calling out to me. I didn't make the shoulder ties, but added buttonholes on the bib instead. It feels so good to use (almost) every inch of the fabric, I even used the extra two buttons I had from Anza dress project. Meant to be. 👌 I didn't make major alterations on the pattern other than shortening it by 4" (pattern was drafted for a 5'7" and I'm 5'2½"). Thank you @sewsarahsmith @rocco.sienna and @sewing_in_spain for hosting the challenge. 🤗 If you'd like to read more in-depth review of this pattern, head over to my blog, the link is available in my bio. ☝️ #thefairstitchsews #sewingblog #indiepatterns #indiesewing #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #sewinglove #memadewardrobe #dressmaker #seamstress #sewingblogger #makersgonnamake #sewist #instasewing #memade #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion
