Finally finished my @sewoveritlondon #soicocooncoat after work hijacked my life for most of November! I was soooo tempted to put the red floral appliqué on, but in the end my “sensible self” won out because I want to be able to wear this to court as well as client meetings etc, and I know I wouldn’t do that with the appliqué on 😔. Still, I love it and will hopefully take some proper photos for a blog post with all the details, soon. #memadeeveryday #handmadewardrobe #sewing #soishowoff
All I did this evening was cut my lining out and press the outer shell.. looots of pressing. But it makes such a difference! I wasn’t really loving the coat a couple of nights ago but the pressing has made all the difference! The collar is laying nicely, the seams are all nice and flat, and I’ve noticed the reassuring chevrons that say my attempts at pattern matching while cutting have almost all paid off. I call that a good night. #coatmaking #slowfashion #handmadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #sewingismysuperpower
It’s been a long week and I was too tired to do any work on the coat this evening, but tomorrow night’s going to be my kind of wild Saturday night (🤣) .. onto the lining! #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #sewing
Up next, I think I’m going to make a start on my @sewoveritlondon #cocooncoat. The pieces are all cut out and interfaced already. I’m tempted to walk on the wild side and use embroidery patches somehow. It’s way out of my comfort zone so I’ll have to think about it some more. And I’m not sure about this particular patch, but I think in principle I like the idea. What do you think? Where would you place the embroidery patch?

As much as I’m looking forward to ogling everyone’s #SewFrosting makes, I get a real kick when I #sewcake.. how else would I get a pair of trousers that fits my waist, hips, rear and tummy AND doesn’t even need a belt?! 🙌🏾💃🏾 You will find me striding into work like.. #s8749 #whyisew #memadeeveryday #sewingislife #sewingissexy
This @simplicity_creative_group @mimigstyle pattern was an instant 😍 for me. Definitely about to become my go-to smart trousers pattern, and I can’t wait to make the jacket! My review will be going up on the @minervacrafts #mcbn site, and I have a few notes on my approach to fitting on my blog already. #s8749 #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #slowfashion #sewcake
