🪡 Sustainable sewing and creative projects 🧵

The amazing @heysewsister.co.uk launched her first The amazing @heysewsister.co.uk launched her first dressmaking pattern a few days ago. The Waverley dress and skirt.
I had been watching her pattern development progress closely, and was super excited when she called for testers.

I’ve been really loving the interesting shapes and gathered panels that I’ve seen on garments at the moment. So I couldn’t wait to make my own. I used this lovely tumbled gingham linen from @fabricgodmother and made a size D, although I would size down next time.
I loved the process, but have never worked with such large pattern pieces! The frill panels were taller than me haha!

It was quick to sew and I’m very pleased with the results!

I’m wearing it today for Me Made May, perfect for swishing.

What do you think?

Guess what? The latest pattern from @fabricgodmoth Guess what? The latest pattern from @fabricgodmother just launched today; meet the Calla Trousers!

Now, I have to admit, these aren’t the type of trousers I would normally go for. I’ve seen them on others and thought they looked a bit too smart for my style, or I wasn’t quite sure how to pull them off. But being part of the Fabric Godmother team means we had a fun sewing day where we could all make a pair!

Let me tell you, these trousers are the most comfortable ones I’ve ever worn, and they look effortlessly cool! I opted for the version with pockets and a drawstring waist and used a super fun leopard cotton poplin for the side stripe. I made a size 10, but looking back at the video, I think I might have shortened them a bit too much!

Honestly, I’m totally in love with my Calla Trousers!

Check out this little video of my Beyond Nine dupe Check out this little video of my Beyond Nine dupe trousers!

I’m seriously swooning over them! The @matchymatchysewingclub kite pants have become my new favorites, and I’m super excited to get another pair sewn up soon!

For these, I decided to size up to a Medium. With elasticated waist trousers, you can easily adjust the fit at the waist by using less elastic. This way, I get a comfy fit with more room in the bum and legs while still fitting well at the waist.

What color option should I go for next? I’d love your suggestions!

I just made my own version of the Beyond Nine trou I just made my own version of the Beyond Nine trousers!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for Beyond Nine, and I feel like I’m definitely their target audience! I absolutely love their style, but I was a bit hesitant about the oversized barrel leg. Then I stumbled upon the @matchymatchysewingclub Kite Pants, and they stole my heart! They have this really cute, slightly curved barrel leg that’s perfect for those of us who are a barrel-curious like me. Plus, the contrast side panel is such a fun touch!

Then @fabricgodmother released some gorgeous striped linen fabric, and it was just the right match for my vision. I spent quite a while figuring out the stripe direction for each piece and making sure everything pattern matched the way I wanted, but honestly, the sewing part went by so quickly after that!

I’m so thrilled with how they turned out! They’re super comfy, I’ve barely taken them off since I finished them. 

What do you think? Do you think they make a good Beyond Nine dupe?

I am absolutely in love with the Tropical Carmen p I am absolutely in love with the Tropical Carmen print from @fabricgodmother And when I found out it was made from a viscose-linen blend, I knew I had to snag some for myself.

The viscose-linen mix is hands down my favorite fabric from Fabric Godmother. It’s got all the perks of linen; strong, breathable, and a joy to sew, plus the lovely drape of viscose. The best part? It hardly creases, which is a huge win!

I could already picture this fabric turning into an adorable co-ord set, and I had just the right patterns in mind!

I went with the @helens__closet Gilbert top in size M, choosing to size up for that comfy, oversized vibe. I also tweaked the side seams a bit to give it a more relaxed fit.

For the bottoms, I made the @spaghetti_western_sewing Willa shorts. I’ve used this pattern before but never got around to sharing them; even though I wore them constantly last summer! For my next pair, I might lengthen them just a bit.

I’m so thrilled with how this set turned out, and I can’t wait for some sunny days so I can show it off!
