Lison Dress

Pam · 7 hours ago Plus Member

Here’s my Lison dress by Cha’ Coud, made with the Think Pink box fabric from August. Not really my colours, but it’s wearable with tights and boots. It was a pretty easy make and everything fitted together nicely - it was the collar that sold the...

What To Sew With My Precious Fabric... Help?

MsLolsalot · 8 hours ago Plus Member

Hi Anniehen, My style is pretty basic- button down tops, popovers with v-neck, wrap tops with knit fabric. I’ve considered using the seamwork hansie pattern with this fabric as it has no style lines beyond bust darts or some other popover style...

I really like the Moss jacket from Helen's closet - you can play around with lengths for the jacket and sleeves. The sleeves are a simple straight seam.

I know we all have our own views of Mr Bezos's company but prices do tend to be competitive and delivery is quick.. That said, I gave up with the little sewing irons. One leaked water everywhere each time I used it and the power cord pulled out of...

This is a second pair of The Assembly Line Men’s Pull on Trousers. It’s essentially a wide leg, elasticated pants cut for men. TAL also do a women’s cut version. Made in a Olive Green cotton 97% elastane 3% from 1st For Fabrics, he loves them 😀

Hi Mel, Sorry I missed this. I made some hand warmers a couple of years ago, I used uncooked rice which worked well although they didn't hold heat for very long. Lentils also work too. https://sewhayleyjane.com/blog/fat-quarter-make-hand-warmers

I do love that book Anniehen. Clare Hunter did a free Zoom about it with a local literary group. I'm not part of that group, but those of us who sewed for Scrubs Up were invited to join for free.

I’d love to join that group Hayley. I am currently listening to a non fiction audiobook whilst sewing. It’s called Threads of Life (A history of the world through the eye of a needle) by Clare Hunter. It’s really interesting and thought provoking.

This is beautiful. For fabric like this, I agree that a tunic style top or kimono style jacket would showcase it. Given the design, I'd head for a kimono style jacket with contrasting bands. Please keep us posted!

I think my general rule of thumb is 'light fabric when possible', I used a linen for my summer cloak and it made it fairly reasonable for beating the sun and keeping cool :)
