🌲Hello friends :) 🌲

I have returned from hibernation to offer you the crinkliest of un-ironed linen co-ords featuring my vintage tablecloth apron and my green ticking op 🌱

🌲Green ticking op made from thrifted ikea bedsheet, self draft pattern. Styled with selfmade vintage tablecloth apron, refurbished woven bag and thrifted wool cardigan from next.

That cute little apron is made of damaged leftovers from the apron I made for my friend 💖

Update on Fall Sewing Goals

Me, next to a giant pumpkin, at the Stillwater Autumn Fest

Fall might be my new favorite season! This year I am fully leaning into the pumpkin-spiced lattes, autumn outfits, and slower pace of life. My creativity tends to peak in the summer (thank you, sun!) and by October or November the ideas that were bursting to life in my brain are settling like falling leaves. In the past I didn't appreciate that, but as I get older I have realized that it's totally okay to not be on 100 all year round. Constantly creating takes a toll on my mental health and my budget.

In my last blog, I talked about goals for clothing/sewing projects that will last me a long a time. I don't want to be buying new fabric every month and making garments that I can't wear and love for years to come. So here is an update on the progress I've made concerning those goals.

Finding a pants pattern that I love

I tried to make the #PietraPants by #ClosetCorePatterns . I adjusted the pattern for my body, but this found that fit to be baggy and boxy. I am rectangle shaping, with my bust, waist, and hip measurements being within inches of each other, and I found that the wide leg Pietra Pants didn't accentuate my legs or butts in the way I wanted.

My next attempt is going to be a 50's style Cigarette Pant. I like the slimmer fit and it will hopefully display my assets more than a wide leg pant. I found a promising sewing pattern/instruction guide on how to make a cigarette pant based on personal measurements. I like it because I wanted a vintage pattern but couldn't find a lot available in my size.

Plus Size (or any size) Vintage 1950s Pants Pattern - PDF

The pattern is from Etsy and is described as such: "it's a drafting system...whether you want this garment for a doll or plus-size person you will be able to make this fit perfectly."

2. Learning to clean my wool sweaters.

I have made some progress here! I washed one camel-hair cardigan and one wool turtleneck. By hand washing the garments I hoped to preserve the shape of each one. The washing part was easy; the hard part was the drying. Both garments took almost four days to air dry; I tried to squeeze the water out of the sweater and I stretched it. The cardigan and sweater are still very wearable so I'd call this a success.

3. Billowing, pleated skirt

I haven't started this project yet, but I did realize that I can't just add pleats to a skirt that already has the waistband attached. My next step is to draft a skirt in a fabric I like and try making pleats!

4. Using fabric I already own

My aunt gifted me some really pretty fabric from South Africa earlier this year. I decided to use it to make a kaftan from my partner's birthday in July. It was only this week that I actually looked up a tutorial and cut the fabric. The kaftan looks nice, but he hasn't tried it on yet so we will see! I'm just glad to be tackling some of my stash and using what I have.

The pieces cut for a men's kaftan. This is before I attached the pieces together or cut out the neck hole.

I think I will do another blog post for this kaftan alone because the project has been super fun and surprisingly easy. Also, I want to share the finished look!

Signing off,

Gabriella

Needles and Pins Quilt Shop in Mullica Hill, NJ is closing, so I bought some fun fabrics and designed a few dresses! Dress number one is this fun summery look, with a partially open back. Even though the fabric looks pinks and white in pictures, it's actually pinks and silver! It's my own drafted design based off of the popular trendy dresses that were in every store over the summer. Fabric: "Love Me, Love Not" by @flaurieandfinch (btw, the area around that quilt shop was called Richwood at one point in my own lifetime. I know this because that building used to house our post office...so maybe we could stop changing the name of towns to sound fancy...thanks.) #Sewing #MakingStuff #PrettyDresses #Sew #Stitching #DIY #DreamWardrobe #HandmadeWardrobe #Handmade #DressMaking #PrettyInPink #SelfDrafted #Fabric #Hobbies #MakersGonnaMake #NeedlesAndPinsQuiltShop #RichwoodNJ #MullicaHillNJ #OOAK #OneOfAKind #Sewist #SewistsOfInstagram #FlaurisAndFinch https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci28tyTuiia/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Okay, I hope this isn’t headed into a Ren Faire feel. 😂 I have to admit I hate sewing with wovens, I hate pressing, I hate pinning. That’s why I zip up all the knits I do with my serger and coverstitch machine. I don’t even really like wearing wovens. But it’s been a good exercise in focus and patience to do all the woven things with this raw silk. Which by the way, just falls apart at the edges. I am trying to french seam it all in. Time to take a break for the day, shower and go celebrate my 19th year old’s birthday! #memade #selfdrafted #vintagefabric #sewing (at Olympia, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChiB6VZPYkO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

53 likes hessewmatthew Eurovision ready! Jacket is a self draft pattern with stuffed spikes and shorts are an adapted pattern! With added high waist! Team @paidatonriehuja who also inspired this look! #eurovision #shorts #highwaist #jacket #spikes #jacket #homesewer #homesewersofinstagram #gaysewer #sewing #selfdraft #chachacha #euroision2023

there are many reasons why I'm supporting Matthew in sewing bee, but the fact he made an outfit to go support my special guy in Eurovision definitely got my twelve points after ep 1

In all the FFXIV new patch business, I forgot to share this. Selfdrafted shrimp plushie for my sister. A bit derpy (look at that droopy eye!) but she loved it anyway.

Miffy bandaid for scale.

Buah dari ilmu adalah perilaku (akhlak) yang baik. Jadi jangan sampai sudah lama ngaji tapi akhlak kita masih buruk. Terutama sikap merasa diri paling baik, merasa diri paling benar.

Saw pink gingham tablecloth for a fiver, you can extrapolate from there (:

This piece isnt my usual colour, but it goes so nice with green and tan I feel like she deserves some space in my closet.

🐸 this delightful little jumper frog is from BrownRabbitCrafts on Etsy, I love him very much 😭💖

🌸 pink gingham sundress - sundress self draft bodice plus circle skirt styled with thrifted boden cardigan, sunhat, woven bag and compass necklace.

Atas nama kehilangan demi rasa sakit agar sembuh, kau tak perlu sekeras itu berjuang untuk melepaskan--dan mengikhlaskan.

Tetapi, yang perlu kau lakukan hanyalah: terima saja. Terima saja.

Terima saja. Terima saja. Terima saja.

Buat apa keras-keras melepas tapi ternyata masih saja tidak menerima dengan ikhlas?

Lebih baik bersabar untuk menerima keadaan ketimbang bersabar untuk melepaskan. Kalau kita berhasil bersabar untuk menerima, insyaAllah kita akan dengan mudah melepaskan--dan mengikhlaskan.

Toh, punya hak apa pula kau melepaskan dan mengikhlaskan padahal sejatinya kau tak pernah memiliki?

A little self drafted #SewYourStash project, inspired by a dress I saw a Macy's 14ish years ago, when I briefly worked there. This fun little colorful number is basically a modified pillowcase dress. I added a casing and some elastic at the waist for shaping and an exaggerated shirttail hem. Instead of using fabric or ribbon for the, I used a plastic chain (from AC Moore...so also a stash item), shown in slide 2. It's lined with a random linen-esque textured knit, that gives it just enough body that the dress isn't sticking to you. The back does have some hook & eyes, but it's just as easy to unclip the plastic chain (picture 3) *disclaimer: yes, there's still a Christmas wreath on that door. I JUST started opening it again since it's finally warm.* #WorkingWithKnits #Sewing #SewistsOfInstagram #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sew #Hobbies #SelfDrafted #HandmadeWardrobe #Handmade #OOTD #Fabric #Dresses #SummerDresses #SummerWardrobe #OOAK https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCw-SiMEI3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From drafting the pattern, to mock up, to sewing, to ripping the whole thing apart and starting over, he's finally done!
