The cape is going to be a little big for Mirah 😺 Next we need to cut the pieces for the collar 🪡
The second massive pattern piece has now been cut 😺 It is so big that it needs to be done on the floor so Masha and Mirah are very involved in the process.
Masha and Mirah are helping me trace a huge pattern piece for a cape 😺🪡

I did actually get some #garmentsewing done too. This is the #sewliberateddungivendress, sleeves and collar and hem facing still to add. I love these weird little pleats. I've got a set of leggings + sports bra for a test too, that I have to get photos of tomorrow and hopefully can share soon 👀
Now this 👇🏻is writing!
“… a jacket that went from being perfectly tailored to twisted around the body to scrunched open at the front as though the person wearing it had been in a corporate melee & then ran out the door into a wind storm.”❤️#VanessaFriedman

Made a thing, had some fitting challenges
Some people have had questions about my jacket, so for my #garmentsewing and #seattlesews friends, here are the details!
I made this jacket in 2017. It’s the Kelly Anorak pattern from Closet Core Patterns.
Further adventures in hand smocking, this time with Pippin (there has been a cat on one or the other of my front panels for this entire project so far). Ignore my incredibly terrible pintucks #garmentsewing
Doing a #garmentsewing test at the moment, two very cool patterns that will both I think have a place in my wardrobe long term. But jeeeeeez spaghetti straps?!
I made some fun shorts. 🩳 I had some perfectly matching ribbon so I used it for the hem. These are the Boat Shorts pattern by Sewing Patterns Market on Etsy. I like the waistband pocket construction, top-stitched to the front panels. They are super high waisted. #garmentsewing
My second made to measure, a #CameronButtonUp for @gooutsidetoday.com! My favourite part is the SECRET SPIDERS dotted throughout the harlequin pattern (see second photo).

Oh boy oh boy I've made the most extra pair of jeans I've ever owned #garmentsewing
These are made in Liberty denim and they're mostly the #truebiaslanderpants, but with the curved waistband from #sewhouse7oxbowpants. Also I adjusted the hell out of them, they have a pretty challenging crotch.
I'll watch for it!
#garmentsewing
some sewing posts on the UTube & other sites are cringeworthy. For example, to “carefully” cut the stand to remove the original collar and LEAVING THE RAW SEAM EDGE to stitch in a new ruffled collar.
And yes, we all have our own methods, but I will judge you for leaving raw edges. #garmentsewing
Merry helping me show off my in-progress #DarcyBloomers by Maria Juterud. I’m hand smocking the leg openings instead of shirring, and did a handkerchief hem underneath the lace. Love this peach lawn #garmentsewing
#garmentsewing project coming up... #truebiaslanderpants. This is Liberty denim 💀💀
I adjusted the absolute daylights out of this pattern and I'm looking forward to this pair of jeans. I think I'm even mentally committing to flat felling the seams ...
Detail and inside pictures! I love making shirts 👀 collars and plackets and cuffs, oh my (no cuff on this iteration though). This is such nice soft cotton. Flat felled and fully finished throughout. Handmade Liberty tag. #garmentsewing
For my birthday, @kelsy.co.nz made me this awesome shirt! It fits perfectly and is so nice to wear. I'm very lucky 🥰. #garmentsewing #S8753
