We had a blast at @stitsjorama this weekend 💖 Thank you to all who stopped by 🙌

Today, the showroom and studio are back to normal, with a lot less fabric in stock than before the festival 😍 The webshop is updated, but you might want to be quick if you have something on the wishlist. We are running out of some options 🫣

I will be sketching some new designs and colours soon 😍 Some colourways will be switched and some will stay, so let me know if you have any wishes! I’ll share more about that later.

Have a great week ✌️ by @melilotpatterns

Drypp denim is a classic heavyweight quality (393 gsm) with a cheeky twist✌️ The fabric is made fra 100% cotton and has no stretch ✂️

The obvious choice is making jeans from it, but it’s also great for making bags, jackets and other sturdy garments. Swipe to see some of our projects 👉

The drypp print was designed on a bad day to to something cheerful. Focusing on things that bring joy can help a lot, whether it’s sewing og wearing something colorful or just creating with your hands. Your body and brain love creating and thrive from it 🧠

Choosing the right denim can make all the difference when sewing your own jeans. 👖⠀
⠀
Polly is designed specifically for sturdy, non-stretch denim around 300–400 gsm (8.8–11.8 oz).⠀
⠀
But what does that actually mean?⠀
⠀
In this post, I’m sharing what to look for – from weight and stretch to how the fabric should feel in your hands.⠀
⠀
And one very important thing: pre-wash your denim before cutting! Denim can shrink and change character when washed. It can also lose some colour.
⠀
And yes, you might end up with blue hands while making your jeans (I did).⠀
⠀
Save this post for the next time you're choosing denim for your Polly jeans!⠀

I know that many sewists are a bit scared of making them, but it’s actually not that hard! This fall, I want you to take that step and I can help you through it 🫶 What are your hurdles? Is it the fabric, the fit, the techniques? Let me know below 👇 I really want you to have that perfect pair of jeans that hug your body in the right way 😍
