I’m back on it in the #sewing room, and Matt’s sloper has been adapted into a Dandy Shirt. Next step: a muslin. #ElfkinCollection #fashion

Jeff's #BootyJeans are done! Here's a look at them from both outside and in to show off more hidden features of elfkin construction. Details in the alt text. #sewing #fashion #ElfkinCollection

Back in the workroom this morning, pockets are basted onto the fronts of Jeff’s #SummerBrunchShirt and ready for machine #sewing.

Related: this level of care and precision is why elfkin’s prices are what they are. #fashion #ElfkinCollection

Jeff’s #SummerBrunchShirt and #BootyJeans are underway. The majority of cutting is done, the denim is overlocked all around the edges, and all of the shirting staystitched. Daddy likes a neat sew from the start.

Did I match the print across the front of the shirt? You bet your sweet bippy I did. #sewing #fashion #ElfkinCollection

Went to Mood this afternoon for Jeff's shirting (a super summery cotton voile) and some stretch denim options for matching jeans. #sewing #fashion #ElfkinCollection

I’ve been terrible about posting since I started with a new approach to working through orders last week (more on this later). But I’m still here, queer, and #sewing away in the elfkin workroom. First up today: alterations to Matt’s jeans. #ElfkinCollection

Jeff’s tailored jeans are all done up in a fresh muslin to test changes made to the yoke and back pocket placement. And of course to show him options for using this sea turtle illustration (which will ultimately be topstitched).

P.S. I used the pen plotter on my Cricut to make the outlines for the test.

I’m testing out some options for adding a bit of sea turtle embellishment to Jeff’s tailored jeans. Will use these on the muslin I’m stitching up today. #sewing #ElfkinCollection

The waistband on Matt’s bell bottoms, including suspenders buttons, is pressed and basted into place. As are the hems. All that’s left is some topstitching, belt loops, and a front button. #sewing #ElfkinCollection

As I wrap up Matt’s bell bottoms, I want to share one of the key details that makes a pair of elfkin jeans so unique and comfy to wear. It’s this tailored waistband. Curved to match your actual shape, split into four pieces for easy alteration, lined for less bulk, and stabilized with grosgrain, they are de-fucking-luxe. #sewing #ElfkinCollection

After six weeks of finicky hand #sewing unforgiving fabrics for Lisa’s order, I cannot tell you how happy I am to work on some uncomplicated, machine sew-able denim for Matt’s tailored bell bottoms. #ElfkinCollection

In addition to taming a heaving scrap hamper (it's been piling up since July), I managed to get @Drub's #DandyShirt washed, pressed out, and boxed up for shipping.

This color/print combo is so <mwah> that I may make one for myself.

Drub’s #DandyShirt is back from seamstress Karyn, and it’s time to put in the buttonholes and buttons. #sewing #fashion #ElfkinCollection

Will just came through to pick up his #DandyShirt. Did I tear up a little bit seeing it on him for the first time? You bet your sweet bippy I did! #sewing #fashion #art #ElfkinCollection

Fabric for moar shirt orders! The light yellow and peach are for Nick’s classic dress shirts. The periwinkle and rust are bound for Dandy Shirts for Will and Drub respectively. #sewing #ElfkinCollection

Today’s #sewing sprint is about to begin. I’m double fisting the toiles and have both Robyn’s and Will’s pinned and ready to go to the machine. #ElfkinCollection

Still in pattern drafting mode. Now up: refinements to Will’s bodice sloper before it gets adapted into a Dandy Shirt. #sewing #ElfkinCollection

American society at large may be unraveling before our very eyes, but business continues apace for elfkin. Robyn just came through to be measured for her modern frock coat (officially the second most popular offering in the #ElfkinCollection).

Betwixt and between bouts of existential dread, I’m back at it in the #sewing room working on #ElfkinCollection orders. Related: it’s remarkable the similarity between a “full bust” and a “prominent shoulder blade” adjustment. (The latter being the same as the former, only applied to the back.)

All caught up on customer stuff, it’s time to start patterns for a new #ElfkinCollection look: #SkysOutThighsOut. Will be making for myself for a change. Rather than predictable jersey, I’m planning to use linen and cotton lawn.

And yes, Virginia, I 100% use pre-drawn croquis. #sewing #fashion

Sleeves are pinned in and ready for stitching on Will’s shirt sloper. He also has a Dandy Shirt, which is quickly becoming the most popular piece from the #ElfkinCollection, on order. #sewing

Presto change-o, re-arrange-o… Drub’s bodice sloper is transformed into a pattern for an #ElfkinCollection #DandyShirt. It’s been four years since I last drew one of these, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to remember the folding/drafting strategy for the pin tuck on the placket. #sewing
