Strapless Palazzo Jumpsuit

My May MCBN post goes up on their site today! I love, love, love(!) this month’s project, which was a palazzo jumpsuit I made for my sister.

Why not mosey on over and read all about it here?

“Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” ... one review of the @deer_and_doe_patterns #opiumcoat is, as they say, #ontheblog. . . . #isew #sewing #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #slowfashion

Night-time lighting means this isn’t the true colour of the fabric, but after a couple of late night sewing sessions (and the use of one day off work this week) my @deer_and_doe_patterns #ddopium coat is almost done! I basically just have some hemming and final pressing to do. I tried to take my time and use proper techniques for each step, and I think it’s turned out well. The only niggle I have is the turn of the cloth on the collar at the back - ideally you wouldn’t be able to see the upper collar/under collar seam from the back of the coat. But I’ll have forgotten about that by tomorrow and really no-one would notice that! The pattern review will be coming to my blog shortly but - spoiler alert - I think it’s awesome ❤️ #isew #memadecoat #slowfashionoctober

11pm and I thought I would cut out my next project before heading to bed. I opened out my fabric (a beautiful wool coating) and out ran a ma-HU-ssive spider!! It was right in the inside of the roll of fabric and has been there long enough to make webs. I shrieked loudly enough to wake up the kids (luckily they didn’t actually wake up). Now I’ve calmed down and I’m just thankful that this fabric came from France and not Australia! Imagine one of their huntsman spiders stowing away 😨😩. I’m also glad there are no eggs/babies crawling all over my living room. Not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight! 🕷🕸😰 #arachnaphobe #stowaway #stillcuttingmyfabrictonightthough

I haven’t made it to the Cambridge Weekender or similar events where people get together and sew. Are there already some of these running more frequently in London? Is there any interest? Answers on a postcard please 😊 @luchiandota #sewinggroup

Going back to work on a Monday always feels a bit like “back to school” - I’ve noticed I always wear my #ppcatherine blouse tied accordingly on Mondays 🤣 ... hope you all have a fab week! ❤️

EDIT: @candiceayala is following on from @thelittlepomegranate’s #sewincolour post with a thread encouraging us to get to know people of colour who sew (#pocwhosews).. so here goes.. Hello! I’m Michelle, a British black sewing blogger of proud Ghanaian heritage. I’m also the person behind @pearsonandpope sewing patterns. Looking forward to meeting more #pocwhosews people 🙋🏾‍♀️ @thelittlepomegranate has written a brilliant blog post about the lack of diversity on sewing magazine covers. I support #sewincolour ... because when is representation ever a bad thing? In every arena of our lives, I personally think there is room to reflect and celebrate the existence, the validity and the contributions of people who are different from “the norm” (without diminishing the population who do make up that norm). Different genders, different ethniticities, different religions, different shapes and sizes, different abilities.. ultimately we are all unique with different stories and different perspectives. Let’s see them, hear them and share them all. #sewincolour
