Scrap-busting and batch sewing are two things I don’t typically like to do but luckily for my underclothed and rapidly growing toddler, I did both of those things last night. #minihudsonpants by @truebias for days now that he fits in the size range 🙌🏻 #sewingforkids

I’ve never taken photographs of myself in workout clothes right after an hour of sweating at a spin class and I probably won’t attempt that again 🚴🏼‍♀️ 😅 My sewing goal for this month was activewear and I got a twofer with this pink ensemble for #sewhappycolor AND it’s monochromatic for today’s theme! @katiekortmanart 💕 this ensemble was inspired by the @girlfriend monochromatic two piece looks that I’ve been coveting for quite some time. ————————— Patterns: #averyleggings by @helens__closet (with added phone pockets) and hacked #noellebra by @mmadalynne (a *free* pattern!) Fabric: Beyond Coral Supplex from @fabricfairy (it is SO SOFT AND COZY) ————————— #sewing #isew #sewingactivewear #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #lovetosew #youcanhackit #sewistsofinstagram

I’ll admit I’m getting a *tiny* bit tired of seeing so much of this pink check (I’m ready to move on to my next project! and I STILL have three yards of this fabric left!) BUT omg I finished a #geraniumxp hack for my daughter last night and it may be my favorite thing I’ve sewn this year. Mini adult dresses on little girls = 💕 ————————— #geraniumdress #hinterlanddress #sewingforkids #mommyandme #mommyandmesewing #isew #handmadewardrobe #youcanhackit

Just yesterday I was commiserating in the comments on @thestoryclubpdx post about awkward middle school years AND THEN I got a packet of awkward middle school photos in the mail from my mom 😂😂 This photo was taken at a 6th (?) grade sewing class fashion show, an era when I never smiled with my teeth due to the 1/2 inch gap between my two front teeth after having a palatal expander 😬 ———————— Before receiving this picture I had wondered if there was any evidence of the first garment I’d ever sewn. Here it is: a very ill-fitting tank top made of quilting cotton! I never wore this after the fashion show because it was too difficult to get on and off (because quilting cotton). I don’t think I attempted to sew another garment for myself until I was in my late 20s! I’ve always loved creating things and crafting but I was really “meh” about sewing after this class when my vision for my top didn’t materialize. I don’t know if the top didn’t fit because I sized it wrong, or because the teacher didn’t instruct me to buy the appropriate type of fabric, or what—I’m just glad that I eventually came back around to sewing for myself! Anyone else have an experience like this before coming back to sewing? ———————— #tbt #sewing #learntosew #isew

Took my “cool pioneer” 😎 #hinterlanddress hack out for a spin yesterday in honor of the first day of sun in days? weeks? Winter is really beginning to blur my memory 😅 but this dress is giving me the confidence that the sun will indeed come out tomorrow and that spring is just around the corner 🌸 There are modifications aplenty for this hack and I took the liberty of writing them up in a blog post for you 🤗 link in my profile! @sewliberated ————————— #sewhannmade #sewliberated #youcanhackit #sewingdress #dresssewing #memade #memadeeveryday #isew #aceandjig #memadestyle #springsewing #dressmaking #bayareasewists

A super 💘Valentiney💘 dress that I’m not wearing today because it’s been pouring buckets this whole week ☔️ I finished my @sewliberated #hinterlanddress hack last week but it’s been so gloomy that it’s felt weird to put it on to photograph it. I’m excited about how it came out but it’s hard to envision myself wearing it because it’s definitely a sunny weather dress! Why do I torture myself with summer sewing in the winter..? 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ ————————— #sewhannmade #isew #youcanhackit ##sewliberated #memade #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #handmadewardrobe #bayareasewists #sewing #dressmaking
