These beauties are getting an outing again now the sun’s here :)#bisquetrousers by @vivianshaochen in upcycled denim.I wasn’t sure if I liked them when I first finished them but now they’re a definite favourite, it’s funny how you can fall in and out of love with projects and it’s all part of the process 🥰 by @makesinstockholm

It’s a co-ord! The Block Tee #blocktee by @paper_theory and Bisque Shorts #bisquetrousers by @vivianshaochen.The fabric is a very light 100% cotton from @wastedfabricsI wanted this quickly for the hot days here in Sweden so I removed the pockets from the shorts and said to hell with pattern matching!I also did a combination of flat-felled and french seams for the top to manage the very lightweight fabric. by @makesinstockholm

Got a hole in your t-shirt? No problem! 😁🪡I always seem to get a small hole on the back neck of my white t-shirts so to get a few more wears out of them I just do a simple stitch using white embroidery thread across the whole width between the two seams. I think it looks like a nice neat little stitch feature. Does anyone else have any good ideas for t-shirt holes?#mendingclothes #sustainablefashion #mending by @makesinstockholm

Mini project to make two sailor hats for my daughter and friend going to the Conan Gray Wishbone Tour, they’re going to ’bedazzle them’ 😁and wear with pyjama tops. I love the costume design for this tour, it’s definitely worth checking out for inspiration 🪡💫Thank you to @ja_academy_ for the free pattern and tutorial ♥️ and credit to Aubry Miller Photography for the last photo (I hope it's ok to use it!) by @makesinstockholm

It’s beautiful in Stockholm today so finally doing a post for #memademay2026!!! ☀️🕶️This is the #fibremoodrisa top in a really lovely fabric from @wastedfabrics which has the perfect amount of drape and was really nice to sew.I made a size Medium with no adjustments (just rolled the sleeves up for the photos as I can’t help myself 😊)I drew the long collar fold stitchlines on in PENCIL which was an error, note to self to not do that again!@fibremood by @makesinstockholm

I completely fell in love with the Beryl dress pattern and the idea of it in a relaxed earthy fabric to counterbalance the fitted design. One toile and a couple of adjustments later, here it is!⭐️ Pattern: Beryl Dress by @fibremood 🪡 Fabric: Canyon Stitch Indian Cotton by @merchantandmills 🫧 Buttons: Viny and Palm in Deep Charcoal/Night by @atelierbrunette My measurements are 88/76/98 so I made it up in a size 14/42 with these adjustments:+ 2.5cm to the bust to waist measurement (I have a long back)+ 10cm to sleeves (so I can roll them up)- 6cm in total from hips (I have no hips)🌍 Sustainability Credentials:+ Fabric from Merchant & Mills who have an excellent manifesto on ethical and sustainable sourcing, packaging etc.+ Natural fibres: 60% cotton 40% linen.+ Buttons are made from corozo nuts which are good for the environment, durable, and I love for their beautiful finish.- I ordered the fabric from England and the buttons from Denmark so that meant extra shipping and packaging.I'll give myself a 4 out of 5 for this one!#fibremoodberyl #atelierbrunette #palmbuttons #merchantandmillsfabric #sustainablewardrobe by @makesinstockholm
