Today’s #sewphotohop prompt is “go to pattern”, and one of my faves this past year is the Ondee top from @deer_and_doe_patterns. This one is my fave version of the four I’ve made so far. Quick, cute, cropped, and great for adding details like a lace top for the collar and accessorizing with pins 😃 . . . . . . #ootd #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewcialist #sewcialists #imakemyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #ddondée #ddondee

Spent a great weekend on Toronto for my hisband’s birthday and got to trot out some of my summer faves because it’s still SO HOT 🔥. I really do love this outfit, based on a vintage pattern, but I must admit should I make the top again I’ll have to do some big time adjustments for my small shoulders and narrow upper chest. Being a vintage pattern I can’t just choose a shoulder size that’s smaller and then do an FBA. One other good thing: I loooove this Dogwood Denim from @spoonflower. I can’t wait to use it for some more projects! . . . . #sewphotohop #sewist #sewists #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #lovetosew #imakemyclothes #sewcialist #spoonflower

Debuting another of my Autumn 2018 🍂 new makes! This is the cute @deer_and_doe_patterns Anemone skirt. Love the peplum, and I must admit it was a gamble because I’ve never worn a peplumed thing before. This is also a triumph, as I’ve found a good way to use my Spoonflower cotton ulta for garments! Mods: lengthened the skirt by about 2”, and franky, if I make another, I think I’d add one more inch. . . . . . . . . #ootd #sewist #sewists #sewcialists #sewcialist #sewistsofinstagram #sewphotohop #deeranddoe #ddanemone

Fresh off the sewing machine! It’s my first Jackie dress from @victorypatterns. I looooove this! I see more in my future. FYI: mods included shortening the bodice by 1”, using snaps at the back neck closure instead of buttons and loops, and making the shorter length even shorter :) . . . . . . . #ootd #sew #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #sewcialists #sewphotohop

Day 8 of #sewphotohop is specially made for... Might I suggest creating a ridiculous feather shrug? This I made specially for my wedding almost exactly 4 years ago. Still haven’t figured out another reason to wear it. This Halloween, maybe? . . . . . . #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #sewcialists

Today’s #sewphotohop prompt is colour/texture. I’ve always been about strong colours, and particularly warm ones! This jumpsuit is one of my favourite things I’ve ever made! . . . . #bhlholly #hollyjumpsuit #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #sewcialist

Clearly my seasonal favourite are those gad damn awesome Rite of Spring shorts from @papercutpatterns. These 4 aren’t even all of them. As you see, I’ve used them on their own as well as part of my fave type of garment ever, a romper! . . . #sewphotohop #sew #sewist #sewists #sewcialist #sewcialists

Stacks and stacks of fabric for my autumn wardrobe sewing fest! This is what’s currently occupying my sewing corner, and I suspect still will for a while! . . . . . . . #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewcialist #sewcialists #sewphotohop #sewistsofinstagram

Signature look of my summers! Rompers are right on. . . . . . . #ootd #sewphotohop #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewcialist #sewcialists
