Lander shorts! I’m really pleased with how these came out. I did have to take them in a bit to suit my tastes, but the fit (with the help of the instructor @withlovelingerie at my local sewing shop @needlework_hamilton!) came out great! I’m thinking of making a full length pair for the autumn, but I’m not sure I’m on board with Teresa’s Return to Flares... #sewistsofinstagram #landerpants #landershorts

One of my solid summertime faves with this one! This might be my fourth or fifth summer of the romper in a row. Awesome mural behind me is @collectivebrew. #sewistsofinstagram #hamont

Self sewn vintage wrap top (which I’m quite happy about), linen blend @deer_and_doe_patterns Chataigne shorts (which I need to make more of, but with a much shorter waist length!) and an unseen @clothhabit Watson Bra (highly recommend as an intro to lingerie sewing). Now I just need to make my own shoes and voila!! #deeranddoe #sewistsofinstagram #ddchataigne #sewist

Suuuuper proud of my first swimsuit! Fabric from @spoonflower and pattern is a 1999 McCalls 2221 swimsuit. Should I make another there are things I would change, but I’m still pleased with how straightforward it was to sew. Also pleased with the opacity of the fabric (lined, of course) even though it’s mostly white. Thinking of making a different one piece swimsuit pattern. Anyone have any faves? #sewistsofinstagram

Love that plethora of Rite of Spring shorts! And a cute microbrewery logo!

Surprised and pleased how this vintage wrap top turned out. I didn’t know if I’d like this style on me, but turns out I do! Hink this means I have to do the gown and cape version I have in my vintage pattern collection (see it alllll @sewingcollectionlibrary). Anyone have a favourite source for drapey, rayon-ish type fabrics?

New matching set! Top is a verrrry simple wrap top construction with no closure. Happy to show n tell more in stories if you’re interested! Bottom is yet another Rite of Spring shorts. The ice cream I am happily displaying was free from @sprinklesontop.hamont because the name-of-the-day was Teresa! Blueberry and Lavender. Yum!

Heat warning + kiddie pool + tray = summertime solution for sewing. Hope to share this new outfit soon!

Sunmer means my fave shorts pattern! Rite of Spring! These shorts were so cute and I was so proud of how they came out it helped me get over a body hang up I have. I hope you all can have something like this happen for you: let your joy overcome some kind of socially-imposed body embarrassment. Technique -wise: I made these as written, except for the waist closure (a bunch of snaps, just because I wasn’t careful enough) piping at the front seams, and some bias tape to enclose the leg opening facings. Incidentally, does anyone know a sewing pattern for a crop top like this? Just a simple, tight, cropped, scoop neck? #sew #sewing #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #ootd #becausebeer #hamont
