23.01.2022 I flipping love sewing my own clothes. I love that I can customise a pattern to my proportions. I've got smaller shoulders, a slight waist curve and much larger hips. So here I've picked size 14 for the neckline, shoulders and armhole, size 16 for bust/waist then extended beyond size 18 for hips. Sewing your own clothes freaking rocks!... . #isewmyownclothes #selfcaresewing #selfishsewing #seamstressesofinstagram #dressmakersofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram #plussizesewing #sewcialists #sewinglyf #seamstress #dressmaker #sewist #dressmaking #sewing #brisbanesewing #brisbanesews See more

19.01.2022 *Sewing Tip* Use unloved fabrics to make test garments. I bought a LOT of this Top Pop Poplin from spotties when I first started sewing, but I can't stand wearing it, I get way too hot (not surprising since it's 80% polyester ). I'm not a fan of how it sews either. So I've been using it lately to sew toiles, like for this top P.s.

17.01.2022 During my social media hiatus, I've been doing a little bit of home decor sewing. I had to shorten and hem these lace curtains. I decided I wanted a nice clean hemline and used my overlocker to do it. Inspired by the finish on the curtains already, I used the cording foot on my overlocker with size 00 piping cord. This technique made a nice flexible hem with a nice finish. .... #MakeItNifty #sewingtip #sewingnerd #brisbanesewing #brisbanesews #sewing See more

17.01.2022 If you like to trace or have to alter patterns, tissue paper is pretty handy. If you get packages, save the tissue paper. I recently got a package and I found 8 large sheets of tissue paper in it. With a quick press with a dry low-heat iron, these will be good to go! .... #MakeItNifty #sewingtip #sewingnerd #brisbanesewing #brisbanesews #sewing See more

14.01.2022 There are times when I sew a temporary seam that's going to be removed later. To make it easier to remove I change the bobbin to a contrasting thread - if I remember It's also a good idea to loosen the needle thread tension to make the stitches easier to remove. Don't forget to change the thread tension back again after sewing the seam. .... #MakeItNifty #sewingtip #sewingnerd #brisbanesewing #brisbanesews #sewing See more

11.01.2022 Sometimes both sides of the fabric look the same. For me, that's asking for trouble So, when I'm cutting out my project I just chose which side is going to be the wrong side and mark it with an X. That way there's no danger of accidentally sewing two left sides Just make sure the marking tool your using can be removed.... . #MakeItNifty #sewingtip #sewingnerd #brisbanesewing #brisbanesews #sewing See more

03.01.2022 This series of photos is a study of how sewing skills develop over time. . PHOTO 1: The very first stretch T-Shirt I ever made. It was a bit of a fail - I used the wrong pattern, the wrong sewing machine needle and the wrong hemming technique. But, I was still so pleased I had a go at sewing a knit garment. It's also very durable. It's over 5 years old and I still wear it as a pyjama top ... . PHOTO 2: The third t-shirt I made. This time I used a pattern for stretch fabric, 100% cotton jersey, this time the pattern included a hem band - I left the armholes unhemmed though . PHOTO 3 & 4: Are my most recent makes. I used patterns for stretch, used stretch fabric with good recovery and I constructed them on an overlocker and coverstitch. What can I say, I like a grey t-shirt . #isewmyownclothes #selfcaresewing #selfishsewing #seamstressesofinstagram #dressmakersofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram #plussizesewing #sewcialists #sewinglyf #seamstress #dressmaker #sewist #dressmaking #sewing #brisbanesewing #brisbanesews See more
