So, I decided that this year, I want to learn to knit. After spending about an hour scaring (and confusing) myself random watching YouTube tutorials to see whether it looked like something I could do, I took a short cut and phoned a friend instead lol. The lovely @sleepless_in_bavaria had all the answers, and within a few minutes had sent me the three videos I really needed to watch, a shopping list, and a pattern for the beanie hat I want to make first. Sewing friends are the best! And guess what?! Looks like I might actually be able to do this knitting thing!! 🙌🏾

Ok seriously, how did I not know it was this easy to make a bra?!? I made a #jordybralette (by @emeralderinsews) in - literally - 3 hours after work. I thought a bralette would be a nice introduction to sewing undies and now I’m about ready to designate 2019 the year of the underwear drawer!! . Possibly my favourite thing about this Jordy is the fact that I found a chocolate brown mesh so for the first time, the ‘nude’ look in the bra is actually a nude look on me. It’s the little things in life ☺️👙👌🏾 . Already planning another Jordy and then onto cups, underwires and all that good stuff!! . #sewing #bramaking #handmadelingerie #isew #sewingissexy #memadeeveryday #handmadewardrobe

A belated Merry Christmas, to those who celebrate it - I hope it was lovely! And Happy New Year (in advance, because I know I probably won’t be online on the day 🙇🏾‍♀️)! In the meantime, I finally had some time to write about these @sewoveritlondon #soicocooncoat makes! The charcoal one was a Christmas gift, but the checked one is mine, all mine, and I love it. Details on ze blog! . . . . . . . . #sewing #handmadecoat #diyfashion #sewingblogger #isew #soishowoff #isewmyownclothes #sewingismysuperpower

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
