Yesterday I showed you how to make a muslin. Today I want to talk about a few common fit problems you might run into when you fit the muslin. Just like fitting women’s clothing, there are man…
I've seen alot of fitting issues in the sewing community and I wanted to throw my two cents in of the fitting issues I have of my own. This is labeled as part I because I'm sure there will be a part II and III and IV and however many. Let's just say this is going to be a journey for me and if you?
Whether you want to patch up your favorite pair of jeans or make a Batsheva-style prairie dress out of an old pair of curtains, there's nothing you can't learn on Instagram.
Hey all – today I have a pattern hack/tutorial on how to sew a reversible dress. I ordered this two sided double gauze recently, and I couldn’t make up my mind about which side I wanted to be the outside. So I used the Catalina Dress pattern and made both sides the outside! And I LOVE...Read More

I have five favorite designers: Dior, Balenciaga, Balmain, Givenchy, and Fath. I wanted to share a few favorite fashions by Jacques Fath from 1950. I have been obsessed with the magazine L'Officiel and L'Art et la Mode since 2008. I am in the process of archiving the fashions that I love from 1947- 1962. This is taking me forever, because I might have not liked how I archived them originally and might of had to start over. That is how I roll and it is really annoying. Most of these pictures didn't have the designers names on the photo. I added them to help me keep track of them. Here are my top 10 favorites in no particular order. I want to make all of these designs for Gene and friends. Cute! I wish there was a photo of what the top of this dress looks like. Love the collar of this suit! I love the collars on this suit and the next suit. Love the flowers on the bodice and cuffs. I love finding the sketch and the photo of the same outfit. The next three outfits have the same fur collar, I must really like it. I am almost ready to post about my newest pattern, hopefully later this week.

So, when I wrote about gussets a week or so back, you all seemed pretty intrigued. But were you intrigued enough to want to see pictures of my armpits? That is the question. Anyway, here is the finished dress. See how the kimono sleeves fit closely, thanks to our friend gussets? I designed this dress pattern. It is directly inspired by a certain Mad Men character; I'm sure you can't guess which one. I suppose I can tell you now that the pattern will be in my book. So I hope you like it! This version is made from Harris tweed, the real stuff. It has such interesting depth of color. In some pictures it looks purple; in others, it's red. It's fully lined and very comfortable to wear. Also, it looks great with my new leather gloves and a little jacket. Keep calm and sew on, indeed!

Hello sew-friends! It’s the start of a new year, which as usual has us thinking about starting new projects, learning new skills and maybe even venturing into new hobbies. So, for those of you who are just starting your sewing journeys, I thought it would be helpful to roundup some of my most helpfu
I have made so many Hudson pants over the years that I could sew them in my sleep. I have found that every year I need to make a few new pairs for me or my kids and I often batch sew them so I can cut and sew multiple pairs in a fraction of the time. I will say, don't batch sew them until you have made a couple pairs first and checked the fit, but once you have that dialed in, batch sewing is a great option. I often share my batch sewed Hudsons on instagram and get requests for the process so I thought it would fun to sew up three pairs of Mini Hudson pants for my kids to show you. You can definitely use the womens and mens patterns as well when batch sewing since the instructions are identical for all three, I just happened to need mini versions this time around. For fabric I used three beautiful colors of french terry and matching ribbing from I See Fabric. They offered to gift me the fabric to try out and I thought this would be the perfect pairing. I am very impressed with the fabric. Gorgeous, on trend colors that are hard to find and the fabric is super soft and feels like great quality. I've already put in another order on my own dime. OK, let's get sewing. Because I am batch sewing them I forgo coordinating thread for my serger. I put gray in and used it for all three pairs. If you are using your sewing machine you will want to do the same thing for your thread. You still need matching thread for the buttonholes and topstitching, but we will wait til the end to switch those out. Next we sew all of the pockets. Start by ironing the pocket bands and then following all steps for pockets. At the end, line your fronts up like so to make sure all is good and you have a right and left for each . Now, take each back leg and sew up the outer and inside seams and line them all up again. Take each right and left leg and sew up the crotch seams as the instructions say.. Then line them up. Let's finish everything else we can before we need to use our coordinating thread. Start by sewing up the cuffs. Turn them right side out and fold them in half. Give them a press. While at the iron, go ahead and apply the interfacing to the waistband to prepare for the buttonholes. Put the waistband aside and sew each cuff on. Now it's time to switch to your matching thread. I only put it in the top (not the bobbin) to make it easier, but that is up to you. You are going to finish each pair of pant at this point, switch out the thread, and finish the next. I am going to do my pink pair first by sewing on the buttonholes. Next I sew the waistband on, insert the elastic, and then finish by sewing the drawstring topstitching on the waistband and adding in the drawstring. Finish up your other pairs and that is it. Much faster than sewing them each up individually.
