Handmade By Heather B: Bettie Drapering It Up - McCall's 6696
http://handmadebyheatherb.blogspot.com/2014/08/bettie-drapering-it-up-mccalls-6696.html
Handmade By Heather B. Bettie Drapering It Up - McCall's 6696. This post could be alternately titled, "Clare made me do it." McCall's 6696 wasn't a pattern I'd noticed when it came out. I only skim big 4 offerings when they release. If something doesn't grab me then right then it gets forgotten. Well Clare went and remade this pattern. Reminding me that I wanted this dress as well as her legs and her Don robot. I contented myself with only purchasing the pattern. The sewing goddess will surely curse me f...

Marilla Walker: Me-made tights!
http://marillawalker.blogspot.com/2014/12/me-made-tights.html
Monday, 29 December 2014. I have done something completely unexpected and made myself some tights! Not only that, but it's going to me my new pattern, but before I get onto that. I shall go through the how's and why's. It all started off with a striped wool knit and a random comment about tights really. It kind of flicked a switch that wouldn't go off until I explored the idea properly. I remember Carolyn's tights. Where she explained how she made them and set myself a challenge. Time for some more photos.

Blank Slate Patterns Oceanside Shorts and Juniper Jersey. March 8, 2015.

The team is a collective of bloggers making and sharing Blank Slate Patterns. So far I’ve sewn the Oceanside Shorts. My only ...

By Hand London’s Holly Jumpsuit – Dixie DIY
http://dixiediy.com/2014/10/by-hand-londons-holly-jumpsuit.html
By Hand London’s Holly Jumpsuit. October 18, 2014. This is quite possibly the most hipster thing I will ever sew. I mean, it’s a rayon romper in a slightly 90s-esque print and color scheme. I don’t think I’m quite Coachella enough for this outfit. I was pretty busy when BHL asked if I wanted to test the Holly. So I passed. But after they released the pattern and I saw a bunch of finished versions I was intrigued. Could I pull off a playsuit? Without looking like a five year old? We’ll see…. Possibly beca...

June 14, 2015. This dress is one of two seersucker projects from my recent visit home. The fabric in the yoke and trimming the pockets is the same as the skirt. I posted recently. It’s a particularly excellent seersucker, with stripes in two shades of blue-gray, and I think it’s a nice match for this dotted swiss. The seersucker gives the yoke a bit of structure and the dotted swiss makes a light floaty skirt. They’re both such summery fabrics, they clearly wanted to fly. Photos by my dad.

Historical Sewing: Regency Dress – Dixie DIY
http://dixiediy.com/2014/09/historical-sewing-regency-dress.html
Historical Sewing: Regency Dress. September 15, 2014. A few weeks ago I showed you some of the undergarments that support this Regency Era outfit. Here’s the finished dress (actually I’m wearing a petticoat under this, too, but didn’t bother to take pics). This is in fact not my first completed Regency dress but I wasn’t too excited about that one so decided to make another dress. I started with a blue stripe cotton from Hancock Fabrics and Butterick 6074. But this caused a new problem. The string cr...

Creating my dream closet, one stitch at the time. Tuesday, August 5, 2014. And my second attempt at bramaking. I have been really busy in the past 3 weeks with beeing on vacation, and am therefore a few days late in my celebration of 100 followers of The Handstitched Files. Bad blogger. I have also been quite busy with this and battling off weeds. Anyways, it is never too late to celebrate! So I am offering a pattern from my favourite pattern company, Deer and Doe. Ok, back to sewing! It's a great kit, w...
