My entry for #MagamJazzyJanuary - the Perth Top by My entry for #MagamJazzyJanuary - the Perth Top by @carolyncassiepatternco - in this beautiful Liberty print I got at a @bayareasewists meetup several years ago and a Japanese cotton lawn from @stonemountainfabric that a year or so ago. 
🤎
I used both fabrics to make two blouses. The other one is the Anthea Blouse. I wanted to wear one of them to a jazz concert I attended last night. So that’s really the only Jazz connection - other than the beautiful French button that’s been in my stash. It evokes Art Nouveau - so maybe that’s also jazzy? It was from a sample button card that a wholesaler gave me. I had three different sizes of this metallic maroon and also in metallic blue and green. 
❤️
I was hand hemming this top 30 minutes before we left for the concert. 😆 It’s been raining so I’ll take photos of both tops when the weather clears.
⛅️
Thank you to @suestoney @sewing_in_spain and @new_by_helen for hosting January’s #MagamSewalong

Ohhh - happy mail day! Finally spent my @juliaalli Ohhh - happy mail day! Finally spent my @juliaallissoncost gift cards (present from 2 of my sisters) and got the Blue Bouquet in corduroy (3 yds) and cotton poplin (a little over a yard)!
💙
Now I have the fun challenge of deciding what to make with these lovelies!
❤️
I’m pondering pants or skirt and a top. Any pattern ideas?
🤗

My entry for #MagamDopamineDecember - a top using My entry for #MagamDopamineDecember - a top using the T- Shirt Dress pattern from the Nani Iro Sewing Studio book using Nani Iro double gauze. I lengthened the sleeves to the selvedge. I didn’t have enough fabric to make the dress so I made the top. I had to piece together four strips of fabric to make the bias tape for the neckline.
💙
You have to add seam allowance to this pattern so I added 5/8 SA so I could sew French seams. Double gauze frays and is somewhat delicate.
💙
In the second photo, I’m wearing my #MNHovea made from prequilted Nani Iro double gauze from @stonemountainfabric - the tee fabric is also from Stonemountain. The Mimosa Culottes pattern was re-released by @namedclothing earlier this year. I made these back in 2017. The cap is self-drafted. 
💙
Double gauze is super soft and comfy - but annoying to sew because I had to baste all my hems before sewing. See previous post for hem photo.
🪡
The dress pattern is boxy. The Basic Blouse pattern from the book is a little tapered. Maybe I should have used that pattern. But this used nearly all of my fabric so that’s OK. 
💙
Thanks to @suestoney @sewing_in_spain and @hportemanteau for hosting! Happy new year everyone!
🥳

Hemming this Nani Iro double gauze was tedious bec Hemming this Nani Iro double gauze was tedious because it required basting but I finally finished this top today.
💙🤍
It’s my entry for #MagamDopamineDecember - I hope to take photos tomorrow. It’s a very simple top due to the fabric constraints (only 41”/~104 cm wide, pressed folds don’t stay put). But it shows off the fabric, which has some flowers in metallic silver. I got this fabric at @stonemountainfabric a couple of years ago.

My first #TALoversizedShirt by @theassemblylinesho My first #TALoversizedShirt by @theassemblylineshop - and my late entry for #MagamNovelNovember - hosted by @suestoney @sewing_in_spain @finishedseams 
🩷❤️
Besides this being my first version of this pattern (in my stash forever), this is the first time I used buttons of two different colors - see my previous post for a close-up.
❤️🩷
The pants are RTW and the hat is a vintage one I got at a charity shop years ago. I really love this hat!
❤️
I tried wearing a pair of culottes with this shirt but it think it needs more fitted pants for a contrast. I need to make more pants. 
✔️
A while ago I took an excellent online shirt making class taught by @beth_sunnygal - it definitely increased my confidence in sewing shirts. Thanks Beth! I used the burrito method for the yoke - instead of following the instructions (last photo shows the back). 
🩷
I made a slight square shoulder adjustment but otherwise didn’t make any other pattern adjustments. I have really long arms and the sleeves are generous. If your arms are average length, be prepared to roll up your sleeves if you don’t shorten the pattern.

Hot pink and red buttons on my first #TALoversized Hot pink and red buttons on my first #TALoversizedShirt 
🩷❤️
I looked at many red buttons at @stonemountainfabric yesterday and saw these matte buttons and decided to go with two colors instead of all matching buttons. I usually choose all matching buttons. I like this combo! Have you ever used different buttons on a garment?
🩷
I’ve had this @theassemblylineshop pattern for a long time but just got around to making it. So this is my #MagamNovelNovember entry. Thanks to @suestoney @sewing_in_spain and @finishedseams for hosting the Nov. #MagamSewalong ! I will post finished photos soon.
❤️
The fabric is from #FreeSpiritFabrics - a raffle prize I got at a #BayAreaSewists Color Me Kaffe event last year.

I’m in the office a couple days a week. Today’s office ensemble from head to toe.
▪️ Wool cap - self-drafted pattern 
▪️ @theassemblylineshop #TALcuffTop (cropped, round neck instead of boat neck) made with fabric from @stonemountainfabric (bought a 
few years ago)
▪️ Palazzo pants pattern by @naughtybobbinpatterns - linen blend from @metrotextilesnyc

Thank you Alexandria for hosting! Always fun to see what folks wear to work!

The last photo is seated - I’ve been forgetting to do that lately. Use the hashtag #SewnShownSeated - when you show what a garment looks like seated - especially helpful to sewists who want to know what a garment looks like seated.

Sewed on the final button so I can wear my #MMScou Sewed on the final button so I can wear my #MMScout to work tomorrow!
💙
I got the pattern when it was first released but it took me a while to finish making it. I didn’t make a mock-up. I just did a slight square shoulder adjustment and made it as is. The linen-cotton fabric is from @lafinchfabrics_new - the print is busy and hides imperfect stitching very well!
🪡
Stay tuned for more photos.

I practiced the four-part buttonhole on my machine I practiced the four-part buttonhole on my machine. It does give you control over the buttonhole. 
💙
I also discovered that the buttonhole length matched the width of my washi tape so I used that as a guide. The challenge of sewing four-part buttonholes that you have to manually stop at each part: 1️⃣Stitch down one side and stop. 2️⃣ Stitch bar tack and stop. 3️⃣ Stitch up the other side and stop. 4️⃣ Stitch bar tack. So you need to mark the beginning and end - unlike the automatic buttonhole function. The washi tape let me know when I needed to stop stitching.

I’m in DC on vacation! Made the top and pants ju I’m in DC on vacation! Made the top and pants just before I left.
🤗
Today we went to the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. We’ll be going back to the museum. More photos to come!
🪨
The top is another @theassemblylineshop #TALcuffTop - with sleeves lengthened, round neck (instead of boat neck) and cropped. As I’ve mentioned before, the Assembly Line has round neck facing pattern pieces on the blog so you can easily change the neckline. Fabric is a cotton print from @britexfabrics - purchased during a @bayareasewists meetup.
🩷
I finished the @naughtybobbinpatterns Patio Palazzo Pants the day before we left. They have an elastic waist and are super comfortable. Fabric is a linen rayon blend from @metrotextilesnyc - purchased when I was briefly in NYC for work in June.
