EDIT: somehow I didn’t know about the #thelittle EDIT: somehow I didn’t know about the #thelittlereddressproject hosted by @thetwilightstitcher and @islandsewcialist until now, so I would like to submit this dress! You can never go wrong with a red dress ❤️❤️❤️ . For date night this weekend I wore the red dress I made for Valentine’s Day. It’s an original design created by pattern hacking and draping. . The basis for the dress is the simple knit pencil dress pattern McCall’s 7999. I added the cutouts and a semi-circular drape attached to the waist and down each side slit. . The fabric is in 2 layers for added body and to facilitate the cutouts (rib knit on top of single knit) except for the drape. I attached an invisible band of elastic to the interior layer at the waist for even more structure, to offset gravity’s effects on the thin layers of fabric. . I love how this dress turned out so much and always feel like a glamorous dancer in it! 💃💃💃. . . . #thelittlereddressproject21 #littlereddress #littlereddressproject #littlereddressproject21 #ilovesewing #dressmaking #patternhack #reddress #mccallspatterns #mccalls7999 #sewistsofinstagram #sewingaddict #sewingproject @mccallpatterncompany
Hot pink suit 3 ways: belted, loose, or open with Hot pink suit 3 ways: belted, loose, or open with a graphic tee. Which look is your favorite? 💕 . The pattern is McCall’s 7876. Both the double-breasted jacket and the pleated pants have pockets, which I love. I shortened the jacket by about 3 inches and added an optional belt. This is the same jacket I posted last week paired with a silk dress. . The hot pink crepe fabric is another winner from @stylishfabric — the exact color is hard to photograph! . I lined it with satin and used a really nice quality fusible horsehair for the interfacing. (I hope I can find some more for future suiting projects!) . . . #sewingaddict #tailoring #hotpink #sewinglove #imakemyownclothes #mccalls7876 #handmadewardrobe #mccallspatterns @mccallpatterncompany
This was my Thanksgiving dress - something very ro This was my Thanksgiving dress - something very roomy for eating in! I’ve layered it over a turtleneck today for warmth, but swipe to see it on Thanksgiving sans turtleneck. . The gorgeous retro fabric (which is also wonderfully drapey and wrinkle-resistant) is from @stylishfabric . . The pattern is McCall’s 7969 - love the full sleeves on it. I lengthened the bottom ruffle and added some elastic cord to the waist to lightly cinch in the voluminous fabric just a bit. . . . @mccallpatterncompany #mccallspatterns #mccalls7969 #thanksgiving2021 #thanksimadeit #imademyclothes #sewingisfun #sewityourself #retroprint

Bleach-dyed top I made a few years ago, updated fo Bleach-dyed top I made a few years ago, updated for fall 2021 with faux leather pants, loafers, and a chunky gold chain. I can’t get enough of these dramatic sleeves! The pattern is Simplicity 8644. . The fabric is black rayon challis which I bundled up with rubber bands and sprayed with bleach in the bathtub. . My home office space is a work in progress but I’m loving this new wall color so much 🎾🎾🎾 . . . . . #isew #isewmyownclothes #isewmyclothes #sewingaddicted #dressmaker #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #sewist #creativehappylife #ilovesewing #sewinglove #instasew #sewingproject #sewistsofinstagram #makersmovement #diyootd #memadeeveryday #ilikesewing #diyfashion #sewsewsew #sewistsgonnasew #sewingissexy #iwearwhatisew #isewlation #sewingismysuperpower #madeitworeit #sewingblog #sewingblogger #imadethis #simplicity8644 @simplicity_creative_group
Altered shirt, worn with trousers I made a few yea Altered shirt, worn with trousers I made a few years ago. Cropped button-down shirts with crisscross ties are a trend from the 2000s which are back in style, but I haven’t seen any for less than $80 – so I easily made my own from a thrifted orange linen Ralph Lauren shirt. It had stains along the bottom hem, so it was a perfect candidate for a cropped shirt. . I made ties from the unstained portion of the cut fabric. The back of the shirt was very full, so I took up 2 pleats and inserted elastic into the back hem. . What do you think of the style — and the color combo? I think it’s great for fall! 🧡❤️My newly painted home office space really sets it off, too 😉💥💥 . . . . . #isew #isewmyownclothes #isewmyclothes #sewingaddicted #sewingismytherapy #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #sewist #creativehappylife #ilovesewing #sewinglove #instasew #sewingproject #sewistsofinstagram #makersmovement #memade #memadeeveryday #ilikesewing #diyfashion #sewsewsew #sewistsgonnasew #sewingissexy #iwearwhatisew #isewlation #sewingismysuperpower #madeitworeit #sewingblogger #upcycledclothing #upcycle #imadethis
The last day of summer is feeling like fall here i The last day of summer is feeling like fall here in Chicago 🍂 Wearing a skirt I made from silk crepe fabric hand-printed with rust and natural dyes. And by “printed,” I mean my mom and I wrapped the fabric up with onion skins, powdered dye, and rusty objects and buried it in the dirt for a day or two! I used the entire rectangle of fabric, just cutting a strip for the waistband and gathering the rest of it to the band; so it was a nice zero-waste project. . The top is a leotard from @welovecolors I converted to a bodysuit. . Happy fall! 🍁. . . . . . #isewmyownclothes #isewmyclothes #sewingaddicted #dressmaker #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #sewist #creativehappylife #ilovesewing #sewinglove #instasew #sewingproject #sewistsofinstagram #makersmovement #memade #memadeeveryday #ilikesewing #diyfashion #sewsewsew #sewistsgonnasew #sewingissexy #iwearwhatisew #isewlation #sewingismysuperpower #madeitworeit #sewingblogger #naturaldyes #handprintedtextiles #zerowaste #silkfabric
Free pattern! 🧶🧶🧶 I recently crocheted th Free pattern! 🧶🧶🧶 I recently crocheted this checkered sundress from one of my 1970s needlework magazines, and I wanted to share the pattern with you. I used @lionbrandyarn 24/7 cotton, which is soft and lovely to work with, in pink and tangerine. . The pattern and more details about the dress are available on my blog; link in bio! You could make the full dress or why not try a checkered tank top? . Let me know if you make it, and I *might* be able to help if you have any questions or want to size up 😊😊 . . . . #icrochet #crochetdress #crochetdresses #crochetaddict #dressmaker #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #crochetaddicted #creativehappylife #ilovecrochet #crochetlove #instacrochet #crochetlife #checkerboard #checkered #makersmovement #memade #memadeeveryday #70sstyle #70sfashion #lionbrandyarn #diyfashion #crochetersofinstagram #crocheter #crochetisfun #crochetismytherapy #madeitworeit #craftblog #sewingblogger
