Not a bra but a swimsuit

Oct 22, 2019 By LaineeMakes

When contemplating this perennial question Why do you sew? – This is why I sew.

Ahh it's been a while! I've been home from my trip for ages but I just haven't been feeling any sewjo or general mojo for that matter.😐Turns out retiring for real takes a bit of adjustment. Anyway, I've been lurking in the background and decided to get back in. I was looking back through my summer and thought I would share my holiday wears. I found that I was memade for a large chunk of my trip. I discovered Your Closet app while I was away and I'm using it to record my wears. Blank days are either RTW or I can't remember. 😁At some point I plan to do this for a month at home to see what I'm wearing all the time. #elgartravels #yourcloset #memadetravelwardrobe #memade #whoaminow #POCWhoSews #isewmyownclothes #sewover50 #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #nosewjo
Not sewing, but really pleased to see this real-woman-sized mannequin front and centre in this lingerie shop. Well done Parfaitement Culotté, Colmar. Things are changing bit by bit. . . . #sewmysize #sizeinclusive #bodypositivity #bodypositive #lingerie #realwomansize #sizematters #sewover50 #sewcialists #POCWhoSews #sewincolour #sewinclusive #parfaitementculotté
This cute ginger girl latched onto us and took to sleeping on our car. She almost stopped us leaving lake Como a couple of days ago. Heading north now. #notsewingrelated #elgartravels #travellingsewist #catsofinstagram #2ndhandcatlove #gingercat
Who wore it better, imaginary me or swanning around in Verona me? Once I dyed my double gauze and received my plissé from @stoffstil, I sketched out the look I had in mind for #sadeblouse and #raepants. It's interesting how we see ourselves. I've been meaning to start sketching again and this would give me an excellent reason to practice more. . . . #wannodoeverything #sketching #sewingplans #drawing #isewmyownclothes #idrewthis #isewedthis #memade #sewcialists #lovesewing #sewingdreams #sewover50 #sewincolour #POCWhoSews
Still travelling, still wearing me made, still in love with a certain book. My #makenine2019 has mutated a bit and most of the makes I planned are mainly 'still in my head', but swipe to see some of what I have achieved so far this year. Visit my blog - link in bio of course - to find out more about this outfit too. 😘 . . . @namedclothing #breakingthepattern #sadeblouse #raepants #travelwardrobe #travellingsewist #memadetravelwardrobe #isewmyownclothes #isewedthis #memade #sewcialists #lovesewing #sewingplans #sewingdreams #sewover50 #sewincolour #POCWhoSews
Left this behind this morning! We stopped for a little R&R at a farmhouse apartment. Hilltop swimming pool with panoramic views. It's time to move on. Next stop Croatia. #sewingswimwear #burdastylealison #travelwardrobe #travellingsewist #wegotoo #isewmyownclothes #isewedthis #memade #sewcialists #lovesewing #sewingdreams #sewover50 #sewincolour #POCWhoSews
16th century Instagram? I fell in love with this depiction of the annunciation by Federico Barocci. Especially when I saw the bottom corner 👀👀 Proof that sewing is a blessed hobby. 🧵✂️😻Btw, Urbino is a stunning place to visit if you're in this area. #sewingtrivia #sewingwithcats #sewinginart #elgartravels #travellingsewist #wegotoo #italy🇮🇹 #urbino #sewincolour #sewover50 #sewcialists #lovesewing #sewistsofig #POCWhoSews
Serving my best Ursula Andress in my #memade swimsuit. I made this Burdastyle Alison swimsuit last summer during #braugust. I finally wore it for a swim in the sea today. Everything worked! #sewingswimwear #memadeswimwear #burdastylealison #burdastyle #burdastyle2019 #ursulaandress #travellingsewist #curvysewist #wanderful #travelnoire #wegotoo #isewmyownclothes #isewedthis #memade #sewcialists #lovesewing #sewingdreams #sewover50 #sewincolour #POCWhoSews
Ciao, ciao! Thats how they wake us on the camp site! I'm crashing the #sewsustainableseptember party even though I'm away and not officially doing the challenge. Do you remember my Oldest garment? One of my earliest self drafted efforts. Well it's that time of year again when this 30+year old gets an outing. I'm still working sustainability into my sewing repertoire but I think I've always done a bit of it unconsciously. Whether RTW or handmade, I buy/sew what I love, not trends. Also my clothes are for keeps. It's not unusual for me to put on something that I've had for 10, 20 or even 30 years. 🕙🗓 . . . It's hot so the perfect weather for swanning around in this old favourite. I'm on a camping (mostly) holiday so I ironed this in my tent. I know I missed a bit!😂😂😂 Moving on from camping beside Lake Garda so treating ourselves to a nice meal rather than camp kitchen. It's nice to get togged up even when camping. #sewyourselfsustainable #sewyourclothes #wearyourclothes #keepyourclothes #30wears #sewsustainable #sewistsofinstagram #isewmyownclothes #isewedthis #memade #sewcialists #lovesewing #sewingdreams #sewover50 #sewincolour #POCWhoSews
