TFW your new me-made leggings make the booty pop.⁠ 💙⁠ Heeeey, there's a new sewing vlog for yoooou (link in bio), and I get into all the details of making these leggings... and ANOTHER pair of leggings that were a flaming hot fail, but only at the very end. I was THISCLOSE to being finished with them, and I made a fatal error. GAAAH.⁠ 💙⁠ What was your last total-loss sewing mistake?

Sewing for your period. It's a great idea!⁠ 💙 Sewing for your period. It's a great idea!⁠ 💙⁠ I have three dress suggestions to keep you fashionable and comfortable while menstruating. I chose this trio because they all flare away or gently skim your body between the breasts and knees — an area that can be sensitive during your period.⁠ 💙⁠ -The Nancy dress from Sew Over It is darling. This swing dress is designed for wovens.⁠ 💙⁠ -If you’re into knits, try the Ebony T-shirt dress from Closet Case Patterns. I haven’t sewn this myself, but rumor has it that this frock sews up F-A-S-T.⁠ 💙⁠ -Big 4 pattern brand Simplicity New Look has this raglan-sleeved shift dress. The thing I like about this pattern is there’s no shaping around the waist, which means it won’t cling to your tender middle.⁠ 💙⁠ Should you be interested, I've got a whooooole blog post on sewing for your period: https://siemachtsewingblog.com/2018/02/sewing-for-your-period/⁠ 💙⁠ What's your favorite thing to wear during your moon cycle?⁠ 💙⁠ #sewing #sewcialists #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #instasew #instasewers #instasewing #isew⁠ #imakemyclothes #sewingisfun #sewingiswhatido #sewingissexy #makesomething #maker #ilovesewing #idiy #shesews #sewinginspiration

Ah, linen! One of the all-time easiest fabrics to Ah, linen! One of the all-time easiest fabrics to sew. Linen presses like a dream; get that iron nice ‘n’ steamy for it. Pattern pieces in linen often stick together, which means there’s often less pinning when you sew with linen (especially if there are a lot of straight seams).⁠ 💙⁠ Should you like to learn about several other fabric substrates that are a breeze to stitch, hustle over here: https://siemachtsewingblog.com/2019/09/easy-fabrics-to-sew/⁠ 💙⁠ If you were giving a newbie sewist advice on forgiving fabric, what would you suggest?⁠ 💙⁠ #fabricaddict #fabriclust #ilovefabric #fabrictofashion⁠ #sewing #sewcialists #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #instasew #instasewers #instasewing #isew

“Art is the only way to run away without leaving “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.” – Twyla Tharp⁠ 💙⁠ Are you familiar with the concept of "flow," where you get so into what you're doing it feels like time stops? I get that way sometimes when I'm sewing, and it does feel like I've stepped away from my everyday life. When was the last time you got into a flow state while you were stitching? What were you making?⁠ 💙⁠ #sewing #sewcialists #sewists #sewistsofinstagram #instasew #instasewers #instasewing #milwaukeesews #greendalesews #wisconsinsews #imakemyclothes #yesisew #sewingisfun #sewingiswhatido #Isewclothes #makesomething #maker #ilovesewing #shesews #sewpretty
