A ClosetCore Elodie dress. Or two maybe if I get the time to sew both. 🤞🏻

Yes I am also on Threadloop but I really want a more visual representation along with the costs which is why I'm trying to do a journal this year.

I finished the toile today and have cut the good stuff but it fits like a dream! 😍

Ah yes I also have a spreadsheet!

How do folks plan their sewing projects? I'm trying to get a more visual representation this year and keep a record of my makes.

Yes to taking back control and learning new skills! 🥳

But this has already happened. So many people can't do basic mending or hem their own pants and rely on fast fashion instead. Lots of people rely on takeout because they can't cook. Basic skills are dying out because they aren't used or taught. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am struggling with this right now! Trying my best to think of things that can be made to be adjustable. Elastic waistbands, wrap dresses or outwear as coats generally will always fit as they're designed to be oversized. 😅

These look amazing! Awesome review too. 🔥

Just booked flights to #dunedinfrocktails in May! Can't wait to go and meet some of the #sewing community in person. 🥳

Saaaaaaame. It's a very different format to insta. 😅

Oh awesome!

It's wash away stabiliser, though I did find it started trying to unstick after a while cause I was quite slow at stitching. 😅 Not sure how to fix that though other than by being better. 🤣

You'll find wovens a breeze after doing knits then!

Thanks! I wasn't sure I'd like it so thought I'd start subtle.

It was one of the subscription patterns but apparently Simplicity has a pattern that's similar? Not sure of the pattern number though.

No but I will check those out, thank you!

Oh cool. Glad to find more kiwi sewists.

Thanks, it's so nice and light for summer too with it being in linen. Bonus is it's long enough to wear trackpants and a merino underneath and is cozy for winter too. 😅

Wow that's so beautiful.

Posting some makes so I can find like-minded people.

I have started to dabble into #visiblemending and #sashiko after seeing a lady fix her jeans on insta using it. I LOVE how my jeans turned out and learnt so much in the process. Though I didn't really account for my jeans being stretch. 🤔

Here is another linen dress I made last year, this time I made the #skylinedress by Syd Graham hacking the tie to be in the front.

I wear this dress soooo much and need to make another.
