Francing again! Half term is proceeding satisfactorily. Stop number two and this is our view for the next 3 days. #elgartravels #france #biarritz #wegotoo #laineemakes
Yes it's a GIVEAWAY! This lovely kit would be a great gift from @lamazifabrics. I love a giveaway.🤩 #fabricaddict #guiltfreefabric
I basted! I can be a bit impatient sometimes and it's tempting to cut corners when you think you're doing an "easy" sew, but I decided to take my time for once. #isewmyownclothes #takeyourtimedoitright #sewistsofinstagram #sewover50 #sewincolor #POCWhoSews #kindercardigan #sewingwithknits #beginnersguidetosewingwithknits!
I thought I'd share this to the #BHMpatterndesigners hashtag. I fell in love with Byron Lars look in the 90s when he launched a collection of patterns for Vogue. I made a couple of them and I'm delighted that he's still going stron, clothing Michelle Obama amongst others. I visited his website just now and fell in love all over again. #isewmyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #sewingdreams #sewincolour #POCWhoSews #sewover50 #supportblackdesigners #wedesigntoo
Just batch cut a couple of Kinder cardigans, these should be finished tomorrow. A bit of instant gratification is the only way right now 😁 #kindercardigan @thatwendyward #quicksewingfix #isewmyownclothes #makersgonnamake #memadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #sewingdreams #sewincolour #sewover50 #POCWhoSews
Hey it's me, better late than never I finally got around to doing my zozo suit measurements and add it to the conversation on size inclusivity. 1. The zozo model looks a bit like me but look at the arms they are massive. 2. As far as patterns go I'm actually abstaining from buying new ones as I'm stash busting but I've also set myself a goal of learning to draft and I'm coming across the fact that many pattern designers will not go beyond size 16. I hope this conversation leads to positive developments. #sewmysize #imakemyownclothes #sewistsofig #sewcialists #sewist #sewingdreams #zozosuit #sewingismysuperpower #sewincolour #bodypositive #POCWhoSews
I was up eaaaaarly watching the Super Wolf Blood Moon eclipse. Epic. #eclipse #lunareclipse2019 #superwolfbloodmooneclipse #laineetakes
Happy New Year! I hope you are all having a great first day of the year. I'm just coming round from my NYE stupor and I give you my #2018MakeNine as it ended up. Like many I'm reviewing my year and thinking about 2019. Many thanks to everyone who connected with me here - it was much appreciated. There's a summary and thoughts on t' blog.🤩🤩🤩 #isew #isewmyownclothes #memadewardrobe #sewingblogger #sewistsofinstagram #sewingisassuperpower #sewcialists #sewover50 #sewincolour #POCWhoSews #2018makenine #makenine

Testing, testing: how to reach out by testing for others

One of the really rewarding things I have discovered in my first year as an online sewist is theĀ benefit of testing. I’ve been lucky enough to get involved in a number of product tests and reviews which have allowed me to move ahead in my sewing. Did I hear you say “Freebies!” The overarching proviso […]

Her name is Fallon and she’s fab – pattern testing again.

I really enjoyed my first pattern testing experience and so dived in when I saw @studiotkb requesting testers. Still easing myself back in gently I went for this top which is suitable for beginners but does use stretch fabrics so a bit of practice is needed to master sewing with stretch knits. Joining a group […]
