The blouse!..actually all of it. Love the vintage illustration style of the 50's. The skirt is tempting, but those pocket flaps might need to be thinned slightly. And it's not a fabric eater compared to other skirts from this era. #sewing #vintagepatter
Good mail day- #vintagevogue9130. I want to modify this into a tunic but am not sure where to start. With pockets, of course. #vintagepatterns #sewing
Momentous moment, finally cut into my First Liberty of London fabric for a modified #LisetteMarketTunic. #lisettepattern #simplicity2211 #markettunic
Chugging along with my Lisette Market Tunic. #libertyoflondon fabric #simplicity2211 pattern.

My first vintage pattern of the year, using some lovely teal polka dot Rayon from #britexfabrics in SF. #vintagepatterns #vintagepledge #sewing #isew #vintageadvance8164
View B. No going back now. Really love the fabric, can't wait to see how it looks. #vintagepledge #vintagepatterns #sewing #isew
View A, maybe with buttons rather than belt.
Modified the skirt by leaving off the waistband. My first #vintagepledge finished. #isew #vintagepatterns #iloveikat

A little surgery and rethreading, can't believe I've put this off for months! #sewing #isew #ialsoprocrastinate

Quick make, bad lighting. #simplicity1366 I now know what the hype is about. #sewing #isew #idrankthekoolaid
The most *lush* Rayon fabric meets #simplicity1366. View D. From #britexfabrics this past Nov. The skirt is clashing horribly with my mustard fabric #doyouhaveanygreypoupon #isew #simplicitypattern

Winning, handmade outfit. Vintage wrap skirt pattern, #simplicity1366 top, my hollows and a gifted silk scarf. This is also a good encapsulation of my current most used colors. Weird how your location affects your color choices. #handmadelove #chromalove

Finished, with sanity (barely) intact. #butterick6182 #sewing #sewlisette #lisettepattern #rayontop #isew #mccallspatterns
Tableau: Death of an Iron. Nearly done- they don't make things like they used to! #sewing #agonyofdefeat
Can you see the dart? Woot, not now- had to rip it out once since rayon can be slippery. Interested in seeing how this will look since I've never done a bust dart like this on the center front seam. #sewing #sewlisette #lisettepattern #butterick6182
Decided on view A of #butterick6182 lengthened four inches.
Couldn't wait so used the Hancock's sales ad at Joann's so I could get these #sorrynotsorry Now to decide which one to sew up first! #sewlisette #lisettepattern #sewing
Fay skirt by #stylearc in a heavy ponte knit. Super fast and love how it fits. Only downer is that my side seams are somewhat wavy due to being serged and then doubled since the skirt folds into itself to encase the seams. #sewing #isew #fayskirt #knitpe
One serious seam ripper. From the mum, she's the tops. #sewing #justcallmejack #seamripper
Cold and dreary day. Too cold and damp to torch. A most precarious situation since the pattern called for 2.2 yards and there was a scant 2 yards on this cut. Cutting out in a single layer is something I'd managed to avoid so far. Until today. Made it wo
Top-stitching detail on another #top64 by #merchantandmills, modified to be tunic length with slightly larger pockets. The little details make me so happy. In #cottonandsteel double gauze. #sewing #isew #merchantandmillstop64 #doublegauze #handmadelove
The dreary weather is making photos difficult. Here is my modified #top64 from #merchantandmills in #cottonandsteel double gauze in a lovely indigo-verging-on-teal. Mods: lengthened 11 inches, shortened sleeves, enlarged pockets slightly, added tie backs

From my trip to Italy in 2006, long before I ever started sewing. Been looking for this fabric for the longest time! Buried under a pile of stuff, naturally. I remember that when we made reservations to stay in Venice, we accidentally booked a room in M
This is happening at some point today. Waited the longest time to use this French terry knit. #lemondropdress #sewing #sewingwithknits #amh #ilovelemondrops
#lemondropdress just needs to be hemmed. Feeling vertigo? 😃 #sewing #amh #isew #sewingwithknits
My least favorite part of sewing is cutting and fusing the interfacing. #sewing #stylearc #tonidesignerdress

Darts for #stylearcpatterns #claudiapant. First time sewing with #bengaline which is a stretch woven. These are supposed to look like cigarette pants according to the description. Will also have to battle the dread invisible zipper. My hope is that they

Need to choose bias tape for my #tonidesignerdress hem since I'm notorious for taking large steps and figure it will help with reinforcement. #sewing #isew #makersgonnamake

Back of #claudiapant by #stylearcpatterns. Too big and had to take it in quite a bit, just need to hem. #sewing #stylearc #bengaline

Quick pic of #memade clothes since #mmmay15 starts tomorrow, could've sworn there was another week in April! Good news? I have enough for every day. Bad news? Nearly a third is suited to cooler weather. And I have a most decided leaning towards blue ton
Like many accident victims you never see the car that sideswipes you- or in this case, the stripe that somehow got skipped. Hence, the waistband gets a little twisted. Still majorly comfy and a good addition to the #memade wardrobe. #sewing #stylearcpatt
Time to bust out the fork pins to match up some stripes. #sewing #memade #stylearcpatterns #knitskirt #fayskirt
#stylearcpatterns #claudiapant finished. Way too big for the size that fit my measurements, had to take it in more than an inch in a few places. May just reprint in a smaller size and see if that saves trouble. Super comfy in the stretch #bengaline I fou

Here is another shot of the unprinted vintage wrap dress pattern. You can see the perforated 8 on the pattern piece to let you know it's the pocket and to only cut one according to the directions. Luckily, there is mention of the markings on the directio
