Beach day! This sea gull was hanging with us for hours. :)

You’ll have to pry my array of Rite of Spring shorts from @papercutpatterns from my cold dead 💀 hands. Especially with this seagulls in rain gear fabric. I spent MANY years of my life hiding my upper legs because I was embarrassed. Then I sewed this first pair of Rite of Spring and decided my desire to wear this item I loved, thought was cute, and was proud of seeing was more powerful than my thigh-shame. Fuck body shame! Have you had empowering experiences like this? I know my pal @allysondykhuizen’s first #braugust post spoke about her feelings about bra making. She encouraged me to try bra making too, and I have to agree it’s super empowering. How about you? What makes have given you a feeling of empowerment? . . . . #sew #sewist #sewists #sewcialists #lovetosew #ootd #sewistsofinstagram #fashion #papercutpatterns

This skirt is one of my faves. It’s Chardon from @deer_and_doe_patterns in some fabric I came across in my local thrift store. This fabric is pure radness: the colours are amazing, the simple design is perfect for this skirt, and I see from the printed selvedge that this fabric is a Scandinavian design from 1977!!! I’m feeling the 70s vibes whenever I put it on. Second pic to swipe to my happy-outfit face. What has been YOUR favourite fabric find? . . . . . #sew #sewing #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #ootd #lovetosew #fashion #ddchardon

New #RiteofSpring shorts! These are from some silly Halloween quilting cotton from Joanns with glow-in-the-dark skulls! 💀💀💀I also want to find a pattern for a top like the one I’m wearing in this pic (top bought in Kelowna from @pinnedboutique). Any pattern suggestions? . . . . . . . #ootd #retro #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewingaddict #sewcialists #lovetosew #papercutpatterns

Aaaaand that’s the last of the vacation rompers! This one is yet another combo using some @spoonflower fabric and a vintage bodice top (must do a proper neckline modification next time!) and the Rite of Spring shorts from @papercutpatterns. I’m pretty proud of all that damn piping! Other than that neckline issue (which you can see I “corrected” afterwards by hand stitching wee pleats) it fits super well. You may think this is enough rompers, possibly too many rompers for one woman. I say never! Rompers are perfect! #summeroftheromper! . . . . . . . . #ootd #sew #sewing #sewist #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #sewingaddict #sewcialist #lovetosew #spoonflower #riteofspringshorts
