February 6, 2019 6 Comments

I’ve been thinking a lot about travel lately, and let me just say, my latest make has done nothing to quell my wanderlust. I can’t wait to pack up this travel set and hop on a plane!

  • Here's a sneak peek at one of my recent makes for the @minervadotcom blog! This is @closetcase.patterns Sienna Maker Jacket in an amazing bubble textured brocade from Minerva. I made the trench-length version as a pattern tester and basically immediately wanted a cropped version as well. Then I had what I think is a brilliant idea 😁💡 - why not make a fancy maker jacket? Yes, I know that makes it less a maker jacket, and in this case, more an Elvis-inspired jacket (😂😂) but I am so thrilled with the result! And the best part? These awesome sleeves...they have pockets!! And shiny flower buttons! I'll share more pics and a link when this hits the Minerva blog. #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #minervamakers #closetcasepatterns #shiny #diyfashion #diystyle #memade #styleblogger #fashionblogger #siennamakerjacket #diyjacket #brocade #brocadejacket #sartorialseamstress
  • Thought I'd share a few more pics of my latest make... especially since the color is perfect for today! 🍀🍀 (I know it looks more yellow in these pics, but in reality the color is more green). This is @simplicity_creative_group #8981 and ponte from @moodfabrics. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!! Also, I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy. These are scary times, but seeing my fellow sewists' amazing makes does bring a smile to my face! Thanks to all my Instagram friends for being awesome! 😘😘 #diy #diyfashion #diystyle #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sartorialseamstress #memade #simplicitypatterns #moodfabrics #madewithmood #green #diydress #fashionblogger
  • New on the blog is this chartreuse dress with an obi style belt (aka, the best part!), made using @simplicity_creative_group #8981 and an amazing ponte from @moodfabrics. I must confess that I wasn't entirely sure of this color at first, but it has definitely grown on me! All of the details and some more pics are on my blog - link in bio. #sartorialseamstress #diy #sewing #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #memade #handmadewardrobe #greendress #chartreuse #simplicity #diystyle #diyfashion #styleblogger
  • This weekend I finished up my latest make for @minervadotcom, and I seriously Can. Not. Stop. Smiling. 😁😁😁 This dress is most definitely one of the best dresses I've ever made. When I put it on, my heart just feels joy. 💕💕 Which got me thinking -.isn't this how all my handmade clothes should make me feel? I think this dress just set the bar for a bit of a shift in how I look at sewing and how I select my projects. I want to feel joy every time I get dressed...woo!! 💃 This is @mccallpatterncompany #7973 (a great pattern...and those sleeves 😍😍) and a rayon (with the most beautiful drape!) from @minervadotcom. I'll be sure to share a link when this goes live on Minerva's blog...I just couldn't wait to share a preview! #sewist #sewing #sewistsofinstagram #mccallspatterns #sewingjoy #ddiyfashion #diystyle #fashionblogger #diydress #sartorialseamstress #diystyleblogger #diyfashionblogger
  • On the blog today is my first post of 2020! This is @heyjunehandmade's Sheridan Sweater, made out of a cozy knit from @joann_stores. Let me tell you, friends, this is a great little pattern with a lot of cool variations. I'm definitely planning at least one more.😍😍 Get all the details and more pics on the blog - link in bio. #sewing #sew #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #diyfashionblog #diyfashion #diystyle #diystyleblogger #fashionblog #leopardprint #sheridansweater #sartorialseamstress #wintersewing #handmadewardrobe #memadeveryday
  • Finally finished my @deer_and_doe_patterns #melilotshirt...I started this before Christmas! At least it's done before Valentine's Day 💋💕💕 This is Milly print cotton from @moodfabrics, and it says je m'aime and je t'aime (I love myself and I love you), so very appropriate for February. I love this fabric, but I was not feeling the love when sewing this shirt! A blog post with all of my (many) thoughts will be out in February. Until then, here's a sneak peek. #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #diyfashion #diystyle #diyfashionblogger #diystyleblogger #fashionblogger #styleblogger #memade #handmadewardrobe #handmade #milly #buttondown #buttondownshirt #valentines #sartorialseamstress
  • I've been wanting to get this post up for days, but it has been a doozy of a week! So without further ado, I present what is probably my favorite button down I've ever made...and it wasn't even for me! Made this number for my boyfriend, using some amazing shirting from @minervadotcom and @mimigstyle @simplicity_creative_group #8427. This is my second time making this pattern, and it is a winner! The cut and fit are spot-on. There will definitely be more of these in the future. More pics and all the details are up on the Minerva blog - link in my bio. #diy #memade #diyfashionblog #diyfashion #diystyleblogger #diystyle #fashionblogger #diybuttondown #sewingformen #buttondownshirt #buttondown #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sartorialseamstress
  • Here's a peek at my latest make for @minervadotcom. This just might go down as an all-time favorite make - plus it was a Christmas gift for my dad! I'm happy to report he loved it and pretty much immediately wanted to go to the fabric store so I could make him some more Hawaiian shirts! 😂😂 I chose this pic because I am so proud of the pattern matching on this pocket. My dad wanted to put his sunglasses in the pocket so everyone would know it was there. 😂🤣 Once this is up on the Minerva blog, I'll be sure to share the link and many more pics! #sewinf #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #hawaiianshirt #handmade #sewingfordad #diyfashion #diystyleblogger #diystyle #diyfashionblogger #patternmatchinglikeaboss #patternmatching #sartorialseamstress
  • Here's my latest project for the @minervadotcom Maker Team! While it won't be on their blog until 2020, I just couldn't wait to share a pic...to say I love this skirt is an understatement! This plaid fabric is amazing, and partnered with @mccallpatterncompany #7906, I think I made the perfect fall skirt. 😍😍💃😍😍. #memade #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #diyfashion #diystyle #fashionblogger #fallstyle #fallsewing #plaidskirt #fallplaid #pleatedskirt #diyplaidskirt #diy #handmadewardrobe #sartorialseamstress
