I love how fashion repeats itself, like when @lauraashleyusa revived the Edwardian look in the 1970s and now that cottage core vibe is back again. Today I’m stitching up #voguepatterns #v1939. And because I’m a thrifty girlie, I’m making magic out of a vintage sheet I bought secondhand for under $2.
To really go the extra Edwardian mile, I’m using insertion lace - let me show you how it’s done. First, I trimmed the ladder lace down to just the center section. Next I carefully positioned it to the right side of the fabric and used a running stitch on both sides to secure it. Now comes the fidgety part - with extreme care, cut the fabric between your stitch lines. Press back away from lace. On right side, use a small zigzag stitch on lace edges. Again, from wrong side, very carefully trim any excess fabric. I love this delicate technique and it’s absolutely worth the time!
This piece feels so *ME* - I love it. I’d love to hear what you think - what do YOU like about this blouse?

1. Start with scrappy fabric – Don’t sacrifice your nice material first. Use that random tote bag from a festival in 2016. Trust me, mistakes hurt less on freebies.
2. Pins are your best mates – I think of them as tiny traffic cones telling your fabric to stay in your lane
3. The seam ripper is also your best friend. Messed up? No stress. Every sewer has a love-hate situationship with their seam ripper. Unpicking needs to be normalised.
4. Iron like your life depends on it – I never used to press my seams and my god does it make a difference. Pressing makes your project look 10x more professional. Wrinkly fabric is giving Year 9 DT class energy.
5. Patience > Speed – I’ve learnt sewing machines are basically toddlers: go too fast, and they throw a tantrum. Slow and steady wins the stitch.

It’s a GREAT week to be crafty girl in Nashville! The Sewist is a new fine fabric store that just opened yesterday to help fill the Joann/StitchersGarden/MusicCityTextiles sized hole in our hearts🧵🪡 While I’ll forever be a thrifted fabric fan, it’s so nice knowing when I need something specialty I’ll have a place to go!
My standouts👇👇👇

The sleeveless Heather blouse in red sandalwood.
I’ve had a lot of demand for the berry to be available in the blouse and dress options too. The berry cotton that I use for the trousers is too thick for the dress/blouse but stay tuned for a few limited edition fabrics coming soon!
