It’s just chilly enough to bust out some knits! Here’s I’m double layering my Rochambeau shawlettes. Paired with my Lupin jacket from @deer_and_doe_patterns! I’m currently waiting on my new Deer and Doe Opium coat. Can’t wait to get started on it!! . . . . . . . #ootd #knit #knits #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #ddlupin #carinaspencer

Whee! New outfit just in time for this ridiculous heatwave! This one was inspired by a cute yellow top and skirt by @dressedindutch. I love her style! . . . . . . . #ootd #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofig #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #imakemyownclothes #ddbrume

My newest special occasion dress! This one is the Sophia Dress from @byhandlondon. I’m really pleased! I cut the shoulders as the smallest size and graded up for the rest of the dress. And of course, the regular sway back and shortening lengths. I also moved the slit to the back and combined the different bodice to skirt. It’s so much fun!! Anyone else ever sew this pattern? . . . . . . . . #byhandlondon #bhlsophia #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewcialist #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #ootd

Well well well, I’m a vintage pattern jacket maker now! Here’s an unlined smock jacket in cotton duck from a Joann trip I made in August. The pattern didn’t come with a belt, but I defo needed it! This was also my first time trying out snaps as a closure, and now I for sure need more items with snaps! Anyone else sewing jackets/coats for the fall? . . . . . #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #sewcialists #imakemyownclothes #ootd #vintage #vintagefashion

More finished Autumn 🍂 2018 sewing! This is my Esther pants from @victorypatterns. I love this design! Very graceful and comfy. I hope to make another pair, but in a fabric where it’ll be easier for you to see all the beautiful pleats and drapiness. . . . . . . #ootd #imakemyownclothes #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #sewcialists #lovetosew #victorypatterns #estherpants

Bring on seasonal colours! I’m still working my way through my Autumn wardrobe sewing marathon, and this is one of my most recent makes. It’s a heavily modified Holly Jumpsuit from @byhandlondon (I made the pants full length, changed the closure to a zipper and moved it to the back.) I’m still also trying to work put my shoulder fit issues (too much length in the sleeve cap, I think), but man, do I love this swishy jumpsuit! . . . . . . #ootd #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #sewcialists #lovetosew #imakemyownclothes

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
