And finally the La Brea tee from Halfmoon Atelier. I couldn't face making all of the bias tape from the fabric, so used store bought black cotton bias binding #sewing #SewistsOfMastodon #HandmadeClothes

I made the vest version of the Bedrock Tee and also the Tiany Tank from Fibre Mood #sewing #SewistsOfMastodon #HandmadeClothes

Next up a single duvet cover sourced from a friend which had a green woodland scene on one side and was white with leaves on the other, became a Trinnie dress by Style Arc and a Kalle cropped shirt by Closet Core #sewing #SewistsOfMastodon #HandmadeClothes

🪡🌼 #handmadecrafts floral vest

used cloth from a decluttering sale, flour sacks for the lining, recycled buttons from old shirts, and pattern from sew.mii. shorts are thrifted and repaired.

struggled with the construction a bit but learned a lot about clean seams and lining; also the first time I used buttons in a project.

realized I forgot to take a proper photo until we got to the train station, thus:

🪡 leather and lace

stevie nicks song title-inspired dress made from a thrifted faux leather shirt and lace from a decluttering sale. the skirt's lining is plain katsa (used flour sacks). originally a wrap blouse, I couldn't find bottoms to match so I turned it into a dress. ended up really liking the length. this is zippered at the back.

Officially #sewing for winter 🥶 I'm wearing a #monroeturtleneck (free Tessuti pattern) that I made of striped cotton jersey and my super cozy #wikstenunfoldingjacket and I can tell these are going to get lots of wear. The jacket is lengthened to accommodate a long light down jacket underneath and it's the first fully-reversible garment I have ever made.

I used a combo of cotton rib knit from @darncheapfabrics Fitzroy and printed cotton (almost like fine corduroy) that some lovely person gifted to me a few years ago when we first moved into our current suburb. She and her husband are cobblers and have a shop in Kingsville. I went over to have a few pairs resoled, had a long chat with her, and when I mentioned I was learning how to sew, she gave me a bunch of beautiful cotton and wool fabrics that she had been wanting to de-stash.

Keep warm, Melbourne!

I sewed a few projects since I last posted but am particularly happy with this Kalle Shirtdress (pattern by Closet Core). I’m @sewing work clothes for the cold months ahead so I lengthened this by 20cm. New things I learned with this project is #sewing a popover button placket and properly improvising inseam pockets. I was surprised the dress version of this does not have pockets (not counting the chest patch pocket).

I can’t think of a kind of garment right now that would not be better with pockets. Underwear? Swimwear? Dancewear? You can’t put pockets on a tutu, right?
