I’ve got some non-sewing news! We are moving to Paris! In 8 days! 🇫🇷👩🏼‍🎨🥐😅 we feel so lucky for the opportunity to do a year-long office transfer with my husband’s firm but the month since we’ve received our visas has been, um, rocky 😂 including setbacks such as our computer’s hard drive failing (without a backup 😱) and my son getting hand foot and mouth 😷 sewing is my biggest stress reliever and I haven’t had two seconds to do anything other than trace a dress pattern, but the end is in sight... and then I have to wait for my sewing machine to arrive in the air shipment 😆 but here’s a look back at our trip last summer with my workhorse #peppermintjumpsuit to remind me that IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT 🤞🏻 ————————— #sewing #sewistsofparis #jeportecequejecouds #parissewing #sewcialistsofinstagram #cousumain #handmade #thanksimadeit #imadeitmyself #travelsewing #travel #paris #sewhannmade

I think it’s safe to say that I’ve been feeling nostalgic for the 90s ever since we hit the year 2000 so it’s about time I embraced some 90s-inspired prints in my wardrobe 🌻 I scored some major rayon beauties (and some heavy rigid denim from a previous trip) last week at my local deadstock fabric heaven Fabrics R Us when I shopped with @sewuthinkucan and we schemed some #sewtwinning ideas! Stacked together they make a perfect fall palette 🍂 My tentative plans are a #solinadress (red fabric), #cielotop with full sleeves (leopard), a puff sleeve top (one of the green florals or the polka dot), slim #pietrapants (plaid), and top it off with #julienreadytosew (denim). Now if I could only add a few more hours to the day... 🤪 ———————— #fallsewing #fabrichaul #fabric #ilovefabric #sewingplans #ilovesewing #sewsewsew #sewingdresses #sewingpants #sewingjackets #outerwear #fabricsrus #bayareasewists #sewing

#closetcasebeltbag by @closetcase.patterns all finished! I used some scrap leather from @leatherhidestore that I used for a project a few years ago. It’s super sturdy and worn in just right, keeping the bag and belt from sagging at all. I used a slide to finish the straps so that I could skip punching holes with an awl, and added a little leather slide to keep the excess strap from flopping over. I’ve worn it out a couple times while forgetting I’m wearing it and also bringing a backpack with me (so redundant) so I’ve obviously got to figure out proper fanny pack etiquette 😆 ————————— #closetcasepatterns #leather #sewingwithleather #sewingbags #isew #thanksimadeit #memademonday #sewcialistsofinstagram

My sewing goal for August was to make a bag—a bigger bag, like a duffel or backpack—but life got pretty hectic this month so I decided to try and squeeze in a tiny project before the month runs out. I’ve still got a bunch of leftover leather from a project I worked on years ago and thought it would work perfectly for the #closetcasebeltbag by @closetcase.patterns. Unfortunately the leather piece i have isn’t long enough to cut out a belt 😬 but I might try piecing together two strips of leather and see where that takes me, or just go two toned with the only belt in my wardrobe (which is yellow ⭐️) Once I figure out where I want to put the belt slits I’m going to finish sewing the whole bag together. My next question is, am I cool enough for a belt bag? 😎 —————— #closetcasepatterns #bagmaking #leather #wip #makersgonnamake #sewingwithleather #ilovesewing #memade #thanksimadeit #sewhannmade

For the end of #alteritaugust (@sewnorth): a tale of three bibbies; or, if at first you don’t succeed, dye, dye again! 🥴 I made my first iteration of these hacked yarn-dyed linen #burnsidebibs about a year ago and I never wore them. In the winter I experimented with slimming them down, which helped, but too many people asked if they were made of tweed which wasn’t the vibe I was going for (maybe if I still worked in a traditional office setting?). So I decided to dye them and see where that took me. I used Rit dye remover because I wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go with the color... but didn’t take into account that the black polyester thread would remain unchanged 🤦🏼‍♀️ so black ended up being my top color option. I used Rit black dye, following the directions like I usually do, but I obviously skipped a step somewhere because they turned gray after a wash cycle 😂😂😂 sort of back to square one there but I’m happy with the gray because it’s much softer than the original gray, and more versatile in every season than the old version. I’ve worn them pretty much every week this summer, and I’ll probably continue wearing them weekly through the fall 🤗 swipe ➡️ to see the bibs before I hacked away at them! ————————— #youcanhackit #sewhouse7 #sewsewsew #imadeit #handmadewardrobe #madebyme #diyootd #ilovesewing #thanksimadeit #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialistsofinstagram

Whenever I wear this combo of patterns I always sing 🎶 I’m feelin’ my, feelin’ myself 🎶 in my head because they’re my most worn, most sewn, and most *me* items in my closet. Anyone else have that? Also really feeling myself today in the luxe hotel suite we stayed in last night for my birthday getaway (no kids! 🤗) ———————— Wearing: denim #wikstenhaori by @shopwiksten, canvas #persephonepants by @annaallenclothing, striped #louboxtop by @sewdiyblog ———————— #memadeootd #memadestyle #whatiwore #ootd #sewdiy #wiksten #annaallenpatterns #ilovesewing #lovetosew #sewsewsew
