Does anyone else have to wrap themselves in gorgeous fabric when it arrives?? No? Just me then 🤔 . I ordered this 3D lace to make something to wear to Ascot this summer and 😍🥰😍 I just love it. I spent about three hours playing with it and a dusky pink viscose from my stash for inspiration. Now that the lace is here I can look for a suitable pink fabric, and when I decide on the style and length I might want to journey into the world of tulle underskirts. Got about two months to sort it all out so wish me luck! #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #sewing #dressmaking
Ugh, Mondays... but I did get a little pick-me-up from the realisation that my handmade skirt matches an RTW cardigan that I basically only ever wear with black! Woop woop 🙌🏾 . (It’s a bit wrinkled as I just got home from work.) #sewing #imakemyownclothes #handmadeworkwardrobe
P R O G R E S S - when you realise how far you’ve come... Every now and then I take the time to appreciate how much I have learned since I started sewing, how much I still love to learn about this craft, and how much peace can be found in the simple pleasure of putting my best efforts into a project. I may only be working on a simple skirt but I’m pleased with how much more professional it looks than my earliest pencil skirt 🙇🏾‍♀️🤣 #detailsdetails #prettyinsides #sewing #dressmaker #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion
Handmade #ootd - these #sorelltrousers are on heavy rotation in my wardrobe. High waisted, crisply pleated, and with great pocket options. They must be a couple of years old by now and I still love them. Happy Thursday all, we’ve almost made it to the weekend! 🙌🏾💃🏾 . #sewing #dressmaker #imakemyownclothes #slowfashion #diyfashion
Cheeky lift selfie! The spring-like weather over the weekend definitely inspired today’s outfit! 🌺🌷💐🌼 . I started this skirt before I came across the #sewingfloralfebruary challenge, but hey, might as well tag it now since I made it this month! Last night I finished it off with a Petersham waistband facing. I’d forgotten what a nice option Petersham is when you don’t want a full waistband, and will definitely be using it again! . #slowfashion #sewcialists #dressmaker #memadewardrobe #handmadeworkwardrobe #imakemyownclothes #sewingpatternsandprints @sewn_on_the_tyne @purplesewingcloud @voiceofacreative
#littlethings: this bra tulle from @dibsmaxwell’s new Etsy store definitely sparks joy. Perfect nudes are so few and far between! Now to decide on my next bra project.. 💃🏾☺️ . . #sewing #handmadelingerie #nudeisnotjustoneshade
