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

I love the Givre dress from @deer_and_doe_patterns. Perfect sneaky pjs. Easy to sew, looks fab. #deeranddoe #ddgivre #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #ootd

I love this dress! Another Réglisse from @deer_and_doe_patterns, this time in a cute quilting cotton from @needlework_hamilton. Perfect for the summer! ☀️ Mods: cut the longest length. Other than that it’s as the pattern is written. Next time I might play with some fun fabric, as the bodice is cut on the bias 😀 #ddreglisse #deeranddoe #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram

Very silly fabric used to make very long wrap skirt from a vintage simplicity pattern. Pockets for daaaaaaays! #sewistsofinstagram

Dual purpose post today for day 28 of Me Made May as well as my intro post of @hamiltonfrocktails #hellohamiltonfrocktails this Saturday :) Here I’m wearing my beloved @deer_and_doe_patterns Safran pants in a lovely lovely maroon fabric. The sweater is a brand new FO from Itch to Stitch, the Busan top. For the top I made the body narrower because one thing you need to know about me is a “relaxed fit” is rarely my jam. Another thing about me is that I LOVE high waisted pants and crop tops, and quite frankly I think this #ootd, as nice as it is, proves my point. I’m a pretty short lady and prefer my proportions/waist to be cut up higher across my body rather than lower. I’m also a big fan of @toasthamont and I’m suuuuper excited to meet local Hamilton sewists this weekend. I might also have a new dress to debut! I talk big; I’ve only just cut out the fabric now and it needs to be done in 3 days!!! Things to know about me: I love beer, birds, making things, astrology and makeup. See you on Saturday! . . . . #mmmay #mmmay19 #mmmay2019 #memademay #memademay19 #memademay2019 #deeranddoe #ddsafran #itchtostitch #busantop #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram

Me Made May day 27 and it’s one of my new favourite dresses! This is the Bleuet dress from @deer_and_doe_patterns using a super cute bee quilting cotton I got a million years ago. It’s really satisfying when you can actually use deep stash fabric! #ddbleuet #deeranddoe #mmmay #mmmay19 #memademay #mmmay2019 #memademay2019 #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewcialists

Me Made May day 19 and it was supposed to be 28 degrees today so I broke out the Lander shorts and my new swimsuit (not me made, but sewing myself a bathing suit is on my list of to-make this summer!) Didn’t end up being so hot, but rainy instead. #mmmay #mmmay19 #mmmay2019 #memademay #memademay19 #memademay2019 #landerpants

Day 17 of Me Made May and 1) I have new specs! 2) I’m coming down with something, so 3) I’m going to bed at 4:30 pm in my fave sleepwear. This one is from a vintage Vogue pattern. I really love it, and want more, but finding 5 metres of appropriate fabric that isn’t a fortune is a challenge! #mmmay #mmmay19 #mmmay2019 #memademay #memademay19 #memademay2019 #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #sewists

Day 16 of Me Made May and it’s one of my dave vintage patterns, a cute grow-on sleeve dress with very fancy (but ultimately simple to sew) pleating at the neckline. I have this in two different fabrics. If the weather cooperates, then I may just be able to share my pink floral version! #mmmay #mmmay19 #mmmay2019 #memademay #memademay19 #memademay2019 #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram
