Continuing with the underwear sewing, I want to make some matching bralettes to go with my undies. I'm torn between either Primrose Dawn Kori & Patterns For Pirates Roller Derby bra. Can't find any reviews on either, so asking the #sewsky community for opinions & reviews, if anyone has made either

2 pairs of underwear. One rainbow print with yellow leg bands and green waist elastic. The other blue and pink graffiti style with the word 'peace' and peace symbols, blue waist elastic

Finished off the elastic on 2 more pairs of undies today. Another pair of #waves&wildwonderundies in the shorts style. The blue pair are #primrosedawntanja boyshorts. Really loving making these. Quick, practical and comfier than shop bought knickers! #sewing #garmentsewing #sewsky

Love this!

It's Waves & Wild wonder undies.

Isn't it fabulous! First pair done!

Friday night: making pants and listening to 80's & 90's power ballads. #sewing #garmentsewing #sewsky

My machine should get the credit for the neat topstitching! It's a good pattern, the instructions for the fly are really good. Have I managed to make something fashionable for a change!?

I didn't like the way the full elastic waistband pulled the button placket out of shape, and wanted to have a 'real' jeans look to the front. Attached elastic to the back waistband piece only so the front would remain flat.

I'm back after a long sewing break. First finished garment of the year are these #frenchnavylangston trousers. Used the reversible denim to add some cool highlights. Made some changes to the waistband from the pattern. Details in comments.

Good morning from a suddenly freezing cold UK. If you need blankets, they've all been claimed by this one #dogs #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky

Red and green striped knit resting on my lap. Pattern is Flax by Tin Can Knits

I'm sure my latest sewing project is cursed, so taking a break to work on my Christmas knit. Been wanting to make a sock weight Flax for ages. Surprised at how much I've managed to do in a week. But will I get through the body and sleeves in the next month without getting bored? #knitting #knitsky

Bag of white interfacing with the following text written on it "Medium weight (more heavy really) DON'T BOTHER IRONING THIS. IT IS DOGSHIT (sew in only)"

Left myself a note on this interfacing, in case future me forgets and wastes another hour of my life on this piece of crap!! #sewing #sewsky

Black and yellow reversible denim. 'Wrong' side half folded over 'right' side to show yellow threads

The fabric I'm using for the next pair is this awesome black and yellow weave denim. I'm going to have a lot of fun making a feature of the reverse colour! #sewing #sewsky #garmentsewing

I finished these #frenchnavylangston trousers a while ago and have been wearing them a lot! A very wearable mock up! No adjustments needed as I love the relaxed fit. Perhaps a slightly narrower waistband, but this may sit better with the heavier weight denim I'm using next. Continued in comments

Looks fabulous and flawless. Well done!

Thanks. It took a look of re-reading the instructions and a few sessions to get it finished. So much top stitching! I think it helped that the fabric is pretty forgiving. I was thinking I can change the zipper pull if needed, even if it's just snipping off the ball end!

First attempt at a fly zip. I don't think I did too badly! Perhaps a touch more overlap needed and a tidier topstitch. Think I might regret the zip with the bobble pull, but I wanted to use something I already had in my stash #sewing #garmentsewing #sewsky

A cut *and* vinegar! Ouch!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery and happy quilting

The relief and joy of a far away friend sending a pic of the socks you knitted them, gushing about how well they fit and how much they love them 😊 #knitsky #sockknitting #knitting

Those little paws just peaking into the picture. He's so damn cute 😍

Saturday plans got cancelled, the weather is crap, so on with the next project! Managed to squeeze these French Navy Langston trousers out of this leftover twill. Hopefully, a wearable mock-up for the denim pair! #sewing #garmentsewing #sewsky

Thank you! I love the fabric so much.

New favourite thing I've made! Wasn't getting on with the 70's western shirt, so decided to use this McCalls pattern I've made before & drafted my own yoke. Fabric was a remnant, so happy I was able to get the cowgirl on both sleeves. Brain on collar=happy accident #sewing #garmentsewing #sewsky

Weekend sewing plans on hold because I'm sick. Knitting these socks for a good friend because my brain can't handle anything more than stockinette stitch right now. First time making men's socks. As a UK size 4 foot, these seem so massive to me! #knitting #sockknitting #knitsky

Same patterned sirt, just slightly further away

Glad this is a mock up, because I have really fucked up this collar. I should have traced on the stitch lines. The point where the stand meets the collar was pure guesswork and my guess was wrong! I'm now not really sure I like how it sits anyway. Time for a rethink. #sewing #garmentsewing #sewsky

They look some comfy. I'm sure I'll end up with more one pair!

I spent the day with my mum at The Creative Craft Show. Made it out with only a modest haul! I've had my eye on this pattern on Threadloop for a while. The stand had a pair made up in the gauze fabric, and it looked so good. So I had to get some to give it a go #sewing #garmentsewing #sewsky

2 knitting projects: one sock that is currently just 3" of leg cuff, and a vintage sweater I've been working on for about a year. In sewing, I only have 1 shirt on the go, as long as we're not counting the ever growing 'I'll finish it later' pile in the corner.....

Simplicity 9923 vintage pattern envelope. Western style shirt pattern

This is the pattern. Currently working on a mock-up using some leftover shirt fabric. I haven't gotten as far as the collar yet!

It's the first time I've ever come across this, and I've made a lot of collared shirts. The pattern is a western/cowboy shirt, so I guess it's kind of in-between a tailored and relaxed fit? Guess we'll see how it turns out!
