There’s nothing like a #liberty fabric to make me feel as though spring is here! More #patternmixing on this project using some liberty scraps to make this #grainlinearcher. I can’t part with liberty bits so it’s always satisfying to put them to good use. #so50patternmixing #so50visible #sewover50 #libertyfabrics #libertyfabricslondon #libertyfabricaddict #grainlinearcher #iwearwhatisew #sewing #sewistsofinstagram #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #sewingismytherapy #grainlinestudio
I couldn’t wait to cut into this beautiful Lady McElroy print from Minerva. It’s cotton lawn that feels like silk and it makes me feels as though I’ve traveled to some exotic tropical destination (sigh). It seemed like the perfect fabric for a summer robe. More details on the Minerva website! #minervamakers #minervabrandambassador #minervamakes #ladymcelroyfabric #namedlahjadressinggown #namedclothingpatterns #namedclothing #sewover50 #sew50visible #makersgonnamake #sewingbloggersofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram #iwearwhatisew #memadeeveryday
I shamelessly admit to making this shirt merely to complement a favorite pair of shoes! Page through to see them. I was inspired by #so50patternmixing and #magamsewalong to play around with a bit of pattern mixing on the collar and cuffs. There’s nothing like a good sewing challenge to get the juices flowing🎉Now I can hardly wait to try something else! #so50patternmixing #magamsewalong #multichallenge #sewover50 #makersgonnamake #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #sewingblogger #grainlinearcher @suestoney @sewing_in_spain #iwearwhatisew
This jacket is my new favorite, just released today by @sewoveritlondon , the Dorothy Jacket. I like the utility jacket look of the pockets and the draw string waist ties it all together. I used my handy snap pliers to install the hardware which is so fun to do! All in all a very satisfying sew and a welcome addition to my jacket wardrobe.

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
