  1. After a week of pixel jockeying with videos and photos and websites for #ElfkinLaunch, I am back to the #sewing room today. It’s time to put a less Pilgrim looking collar on Jeremy’s shirt. Never thought I’d be so happy to see plain white cotton! #tailoring #MenWhoSew

  3. New on Instagram: Sewing project of the day. Tree skirt for the new tree. Simple and quick double layered circle fastened with grosgrain ties.

  4. The plackets are on, pockets half done, and collar all prepped on hubby’s birthday shirt. Time to stash this away and head to the airport to pick him up!

  6. Learned how to take images of my back and now I'm really discouraged about my second shirt attempt. I'll try to start fixing this terrible fit by lowering the armscye on the back piece but I suppose I should tackle that lousy yoke as well. I really want to get a pattern nailed down that fits but it looks like it's going to be a long process. #sewing #menwhosew

  8. There’s an epic thread trimming session ahead of me yet, but Jorge’s denim vest is otherwise complete! Even I am impressed with all of this deco stitching. Whereas the vest itself used up less than a whole bobbin, the deco stitching used over six bobbins’ worth of thread. A new personal record. #sewing #tailoring #couture #MenWhoSew #artist #lgbt #ElfkinLaunch

  10. Both of the side panels on Jorge’s denim vest now have their deco stitching. Girding my loins to do the gigundo marigold that goes across the back. #sewing #MenWhoSew #couture #lgbt #artist #ElfkinLaunch

  12. Deco stitch on the left panel of Jorge’s denim vest is done. I folded and pinned the accompanying pocket into shape to put it all into context. #sewing #MenWhoSew #tailoring #couture #lgbt #artist #ElfkinLaunch

  14. The first pocket on Jorge’s denim vest is all deco stitched up. The result is most pleasing. #sewing #MenWhoSew #couture #lgbt #artist

  16. Though I may yet go back to redo a couple of stretches of topstitch, and it still needs buttons, general construction on Jorge’s denim vest is done. Tomorrow the decorative stitching shall commence! #sewing #MenWhoSew #tailoring #couture #lgbt #artist

  20. Well that’s the sides and shoulders all done up on Jorge’s denim vest. Given how much time I shall spend on the embellishment, it’s lovely to have a piece that stitches up so quickly. #sewing #tailoring #couture #lgbt #artist #MenWhoSew

  22. The back seam on Jorge’s denim vest needs to be finished as an open seam to facilitate the deco stitching I shall be adding when it’s done. As is my habit, I used this as an opportunity to add a little extra zing with some floral binding. #sewing #MenWhoSew #tailoring #couture

  24. Jorge’s denim vest is officially underway. Pieces are cut, marked, and staystitched. Loving that this design relies on felled seams rather than a lining. #sewing #MenWhoSew #tailoring #couture #ElfkinLaunch

  26. I’ve been away from the sewing room these past few days to process photos, draft patterns for the next round of trunk show looks, and ride some rollercoasters.

    I’m back the machine today, though, to test out the deco stitching planned for Jorge’s denim vest. It’s going to require brighter accent threads, but I’m otherwise happy with how this looks on a little sample pocket piece. #sewing #MenWhoSew #lgbt #artist

  28. I altered a shirt of mine today. It’s a 10 year old Patagonia fleece that’s always been too long and I wear it more a jacket. I never tucked it in, so I took 4” off the bottom and it’s much better for me now.
    Of course, now I have a button hole right at the bottom, but I’m sure I can find a creative way to hide or cover that.
    My stepmom’s 70-year-old Singer is still a rock-solid machine. #menwhosew

  29. Progress on Jorge’s cowboy shirt has been a little slow for the past couple of days as I draft up a bunch of new patterns, but I’ve managed to get the cuffs on and finish off the hem. Now to sew on a million little snaps. #sewing #MenWhoSew #ElfkinLaunch #lgbt #artist #couture #tailoring

  31. Sleeves are in and collar attached on Jorge’s cowboy shirt which means it’s all easy #sewing from here to the end! #MenWhoSew #tailoring #couture #lgbt #artist

  33. How I have hemmed and hawed over the fabric choice for the chevron detail of Jorge’s cowboy shirt sleeves. As the man himself said when he saw it, “Tom of Finland with flowers FTW.” We won’t talk about the six versions that came before. Sometimes one has to sacrifice a few creations to the Muses. #sewing #MenWhoSew #lgbt #artist

  35. Jorge’s jeans are done! (They actually have been since Friday night, but I got caught up in the Tom of Finland-fest and shopping at H-Mart yesterday and forgot to shoot them in the nice daylight.)

    Next up: the accompanying cowboy shirt in those lovely ginghams.

  37. Sure, I coulda just attached the waistband on Jorge’s jeans and gotten on with it. But instead I broke out the embroidery hoop. #sewing #MenWhoSew #ElfkinLaunch #lgbt #artist

  39. Legs and crotch are all done up on Jorge’s jeans, though I may go back and redo the last couple of inches of topstitch on the crotch fell as it approaches the fly. I didn’t do as good a job of shimming the foot as it came through all of the underlying fly bits as I could have. #sewing #MenWhoSew #lgbt #artist

  41. Pocketpalooza for Jorge’s jeans is done. I’ve made peace with the fact that I can’t use the zipper foot trick for edge stitching on the industrial Pfaff. Using the all-purpose foot has been… an adventure. #sewing #MenWhoSew #lgbt #artist

  45. I finished Armond’s short shorts last night to go with the silk fish scale print shirt for his #ElfkinLaunch trunk show look. Which means I can start Jorge’s jeans once I get some caffeine in me this morning. #sewing #MenWhoSew #lgbt #artist

  47. The fussy pocket stuff is done and the fly is in on Armond’s short shorts. Love how quickly this design sews up! #sewing #MenWhoSew #lgbt #artist
