When I saw this fabric from Minerva, I knew it was just the inspiration I needed to start my spring sewing! Page through to see a close up of this lovely linen with a vintage vibe. This dress is a mashup of the #cielodress and the #darlingrangesdress this fabric was a dream to work with and is so lovely to wear! Check out the details in my post on @minervadotcom #minervamakers #minervabrandambassador #minervamakes #linenlove #sewover50 #iwearwhatisew #makersgonnamake #cielodress #closetcorepatterns #darlingrangesdress #megannielsenpatterns #minerva
You must agree that Merchant and Mills fabric scraps are too precious to waste so I used the left over bits from a recent project to eek out this #cielotop . I couldn’t imagine gathering the sleeves in this quilted cotton, so I borrowed an idea from Instagram friends @ingridsmom and @michelle.a.sews to make the lantern sleeves without the gathers, and it worked! There’s nothing like this cozy fabric on a chilly day! #cielotop #closetcorepatterns #fabulousfriendshipfebruary #magamsewalong #sewover50 #sew50visible #sewistsofinstagram #sewingblogger #pdxsews #sewathome #iwearwhatisew @suestoney @sewing_in_spain
Another new pattern from @sewoveritlondon the Zadie Blouse and I absolutely 💕this one. As a #soipatterninsiders i was given the pattern early. It has the retro look of a peasant blouse with gathers falling from a collar band. It’s super easy to sew too, and in rayon I think it’s the perfect spring top. #soizadieblouse #soipatterninsiders #sew50visible #sewover50 #sewistsofinstagram #topsthatpop #sewingismytherapy #iwearwhatisew #sewingblogger #sewingbloggersofinstagram
I made Another #quiltcoat because I just can’t get enough of them! After all, In Oregon, it’s quilt coat weather all year long. This #ayorajacket from @paulinealice_patterns has pockets big enough for my giant cell phone, and it’s so cozy to wear in this @merchantandmills , quilted cotton, a dream to sew and wear! This make is my first for #magamsewalong #fabulousfriendshipfebruary because my friends @ always inspire me to try new things like this great fabric, and I’m so glad I did. #ayorajacket #magamsewalong #fabulousfriendshipfebruary @suestoney @sewing_in_spain #sewover50 #sewistsofinstagram #merchantandmills #iwearwhatisew #sewingbloggersofinstagram #pdxsews
Hi all, I’m wild about #quiltjacket s and was inspired by @brittney.frey ´s lovely creations to make one of my own. I found this vintage quilt, then over dyed it before cutting into it. I used a combination of the #tamarack and #allswellcardigan and added some big patch pockets, front plackets, cuffs and a collar. It was so fun to play around with pattern placement, a lovely total absorption project! I’m not sure any quilt will be safe around me again. #quiltcoat #allwellcardigancoat #tamarackjacket #quiltedjacket #sewover50 #sew50visible #recycledfashion #sewingismytherapy #sewingblogger #sewistsofinstagram #pdxsews
Today is pattern release day for @sewoveritlondon! Introducing the Salma dress, a design that works so well for how we live now. My version is from a heather sweater knit, perfect for the rolled neck, and the fun puffy sleeves. There are lots of options with this one. You can make regular sleeves too or a v-neck, whatever suits your mood. I cut my usual size and the fit is loose but not baggy. As a #soipatterninsiders i was excited to get this one early. #soisalmadress #soipatterninsiders #sewover50 #sew50visible #sewingblogger #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #iwearwhatisew #sewathome #fashionover50 #pdxsews
