Swishy Winslows

I didn’t really *need* this pattern, but have been admiring the Winslow Culottes from afar when I've seen them crop up on the blogosphere. I’ve become an avid fan of the Love to Sew Podcast, and so when Helen announced a Black Friday pattern sale I decided that this was the impetus I needed to support an indie designer who comes across as so nice, so I took the plunge and bought it. Plus I could justify it in that I had a friend’s birthday coming up and knew that she would love this design, which I thought would be easy to make in her size without any need for in-person fitting sessions as the crotch is dropped and there is an easy flowy fit over the hips. While waiting for my friend’s measurements to be sent over, I decided to crack on and make a test pair for myself. I put on the latest episode of Love to Sew and proceeded to get into the zone. I don’t usually enjoy the cutting stage - I just want to get it over with - but when I have something lovely to listen to it definitely...

Shirr Madness - Amelia Tea Dress from Love Sewing Magazine

Hi everyone! Sorry for the puns, I just can't help myself. I'm on a bit of a shirring drive at the moment, after making my Staple Dress I was just working through a bodice muslin for Gertie's Shirtwaist Dress when I decided to drop everything and make this. This is the Simple Sew Amelia Tea Dress from Love Sewing Magazine . I bought the magazine on a whim too before boarding a long flight, not really that bothered by making any of the patterns (the sample made up in hot pink satin for this dress is truly hideous . I'm sorry but it's true). The free gift of thread snips have come in very handy for this make, keeping all the ends of my shirring rows neat, and actually I am rather tempted to add the gored skirt pattern, also from the magazine, to my growing list of things to make... I cut the size 14 for this based on the finished garment measurements, which is all the pattern envelope gives you. I think I judged pretty well, although if I was bei...

Slinky Solina from Named's Breaking the Pattern Book

Hi everyone! Happy International Women's Day! I've made quite a nice dent in my Spring Sewing Plan, with four out of the five garments made! I have two in the pipeline yet to be photographed and blogged, but today I'm sharing my latest make which I cranked out the day before heading on holiday to Rome. I ended up packing a nearly all handmade wardrobe for that trip (including garments made last year that I need to blog still) and I think only a couple of ready-to-wear items. It's nice to have reached the point that the balance is starting to tip the other way! Anyway, settle in for some awkward poses and what I think is a rather lovely handmade dress - may I present - The Solina! Posing in the B&B in Rome The Solina dress is from the very popular Named Breaking the Pattern book. I've actually made three versions of the Ruska dress last year (but haven't yet got around to blogging them), so I'm pleased that I've got good use out of this b...
