Which option do you think?

Happy sewing Sunday!

This is another of many different versions of the @papercutpatterns #axisdress. For this version I added 6 inches of width to each side of the skirt panels to create more fullness.

The fabric is a cotton lace from @farmhousefabrics I have had in my stash for years!

I lined it with a basic cotton lining I got from the Chicago textile outlet years ago as well. I am sewing my stash!

I like how the white lining really helps the navy blue lace stand out.

The fuller skirt makes this dress a dream to wear.

More soon!

I found this gorgeous tapestry fabric in Japan , I wanted to make a knee length coat , only 1.6mt left on the bolt 😢 still bought it as I knew I would be able to get a hip length jacket from the amount they had .

I love the print , would have preferred the background to be something other than white .. burnt orange with the cobalt would have been superb 😊…blue and white is a bit predictable for me , this is what was woven , I just had to accept the colour combination of if I wanted this print 🤷‍♀️

The jacket is #stackerjacket by @papercutpatterns …I made this pattern a couple of years ago , had forgotten what a fabulous pattern it is … goes together seamlessly, instructions are well written , easy to follow.
I did make a couple of tweaks … I didn’t want to cut into the pattern too much so I joined the front yoke to front bodice, back yoke to back bodice…this eliminated those seam lines .
I lowered the armhole 2.5cm on the front, back and sleeves .
Minor changes .
Fabric is a heavy weight tapestry cotton .

Pants are Fifi Woven Pants by @stylearc …a favourite pants pattern.
Only alteration to pattern was shortening the length.
I have made these numerous times , in linen , denim, wool , all beautiful.
This time I used a medium weight linen .

Hooray, it’s time for cold-weather sewing! This is my newest coat with the cutest lining 🐿️

This is my 4th #NovaCoat by @papercutpatterns - easily one of my favourite patterns to sew and so incredibly cosy to wear. This is size 2 in the short view with the (long) sleeves shortened by 4cm (standard adjustment for me).

In an effort to sew from my stash, I was able to fit this pattern onto 1.4m of this boiled wool fabric. It took a lot of pattern tetris, but so worth it! The squirrel lining is some polyester fabric that I picked up at the Stitch Festival here in London, but don’t remember the stand. The cutest little croissant label is from @heysewsister.co.uk 🥐 I thought it matched the squirrel colours quite well!

And the bag is my current favourite @marapytta #MaraPyttaPalomaTaske with pearls and an added crossbody chain strap.

I’m definitely ready for autumn 🍂

This pattern has been on my sewing list for as long as I can remember and has been around since 2013 - it is the @papercutpatterns Coppelia Cardigan #coppeliacardi

It’s a classic ballet style raglan sleeve wrap and comes in 2 views. View 1 is cropped with adjustable ties and view 2 is longer with the wrap fixed to one side. Designed for jersey fabrics.

I’d kind of been put off sewing this pattern because of a few negative reviews regarding the drafting and sizing. But, hey, I’d also seen some lovely versions so finally decided that I needed to sew it myself to make up my own mind.

The sizing on this pattern is not as extensive as newer releases - bust measurements are 30” to 47”. Some people have complained about it sewing up large so I researched as much as I could and used the finished measurements as my guide for picking which size to sew. I decided to go down one full size - I sewed size 2 instead of size 3. I also decided to sew my first version in a cotton lycra jersey rather than a drapier knit fabric which would have resulted in a looser fit. I didn’t have high expectations for how this top would come out, but I’m actually really happy with the fit on me. I might add a tiny bit to the length next time. Obviously I’ve sewn the cropped version with the adjustable ties - the ties can be knotted/tied to the front or back (I prefer to the front but have shown you both here).

The construction of this top is simple and it comes together quickly. I used a combination of my sewing machine and overlocker/serger. It’s been a long time since I’ve sewn a knit on my sewing machine, but with this top there is a lot of fabric at the neckline to ease into the band so I opted to use the sewing machine and finish the seams by overlocking. You also need to sew one arm seam and side seam by sewing machine due to the hole needed to thread one if the ties through - I opted to sew the other side in the same way (minus hole) so that they are finished in the same way. I used Gutermann Maraflex thread in both needle and bobbin (the slightly stretchy thread) and a straight stitch of 3mm ….. continued under next photo as I’ve run out of space ..

This was the last sewing project I completed before baby joined us out in the world. A linen wrap dress for myself, intended for our newborn portrait session with @megmessina. I made it pretty generously sized, and it's fun to look back at this because I've already gained a lot more sewing experience, so there are a few things I would change if I made this again. Still, I'm pretty pleased with it, and I will forever treasure the newborn photos from Meg. I wore the dress again for an outing to the botanical gardens and for baby's first birthday party too.

Pattern: Estella Dress by @papercutpatterns
Fabric: linen from @stonemountainfabric

It’s been a while since I posted my makes as I just lost my sewing mojo over Winter. A combination of work, illness and general just-couldn’t-be bothered set in hard. I was determined this school holiday to make at least one thing. I decided to make up the Papercut Patterns Mirri jumpsuit which I bought a long time ago. I made it up in a lightweight man-made fabric from a fb destash group with a bit of stretch and a nice drape. The pattern has built in crossover garment ties which gave the sewing up an interesting point of difference for me. The fabric sewed up beautifully and pattern instructions were good although I didn’t understand the instructions on how to insert the pockets so I did it the way I know and they seem to have turned out. I’ve come across this particular method of pocket insertion before and I didn’t understand the instructions then either so I’ll have to get to grips with it one day. I figure there must be a reason why it said to insert them that particular way. Anyway, I love the finished result and it will make a great addition to my Summer work wardrobe. Forgot to say, made up in Size 4. #papercutpatternsmirri #papercutpatterns #sewover50

I tried out the @truebiaspatterns Quinn Vest for the first time and I love how it came out in this POD print and hemp fabric (given to me from @minervadotcom )

I made a size 2 with no modifications. The fabric is a medium-to-heavyweight hemp from @minervadotcom, and I paired it with the @papercutpatterns Guise Pants in a lightweight chambray.

I also made this at the @portlandmqg retreat😍

Notes for next time – I’ll scoop the underarm area just a little bit and maybe make the bodice a half inch or an inch longer.
