Crabby Seagull #CameronButtonUp FINISHED! I am so pleased with how it turned out, especially the inadvertent almost-pattern matched seagull under the first button. So excited to wear this one out into the world. (more)

Illustration of an orange anglerfish in turqoise water.
The same anglerfish as in the previous image, but this time tiny in a huge turquoise sea.
I have made my own fabric pattern! If I've done it right (fingers crossed) the anglerfish will fill the bottom right half of my button-up shirt, and the rest will be turquoise ocean. Sent off the image to Art Fabrics today to be printed...

Person from the back, same shirt, crabby seagulls on the sleeves and yoke, rest of the back is a white fabric.
Crabby Seagull #CameronButtonUp just needs the collar, hemming, and buttons, I am already crazy excited to wear it - the back is scrap fabric, so I only had to buy 1 meter of custom fabric. Look how crabby they are!

CRABBY SEAGULLS HAVE ARRIVED! This is the genderless pattern I found on the Pattern Designs site, and then had printed at Art Fabrics (Canadian alternative to Spoonflower). I am DELIGHTED.

My #CameronButtonUp is finished except for buttons! I sewed 5 sleeves in total and had to re-do the entire front but learned so much along the way. Especially proud of the sleeves. Had Esme from Great British (more)

The next #CameronButtonUp shirt by Helen's Closet can commence - the fabric has arrived (Fableism Wings Cotton Rainbow). This will involve a LITTLE bit of pattern matching for the stripes, wish me luck...

The #CameronButtonUp is almost finished! Just the buttons and bottom hem to do and it's ready to wear. I'm actually thrilled the skirt was a failure, making a success of this shirt has given me a TON of cool future (1/2)

Person wearing a half-finished button down shirt as seen from the back, top is teal, bottom is black.
The #CameronButtonUp so far! The front (which was cut from a failed skirt) looks fabulous, turns out the back WAS too good to be true (it was ever so slightly off centre) so now I'm a member of the Enterprise YAY

Front pieces for the #CameronButtonUp shirt are cut! The disappointing skirt is proving to be an excellent source of scrap fabric. This time I WILL take credit for the way the solid black flows, SO EXCITED TO SEW THIS

Success! I'm at the end of my sewing budget for the month so I'm cannibalizing failed projects. This skirt was a massive disappointment, but as the back of my #CameronButtonUp it's going to be GORGEOUS. (I take no (1/2)

My cotton twill #HelensCloset #ArdenPants are done! This is my first pattern alteration, I used the June pants wide leg and then the top is all Arden. I'm VERY pleased, next time I make these I'll make two changes (1/2)

Well, on the bright side I have a lot of polka dot scrap fabric, should I need it in the future. (Also I know how to do godets now.) I am REALLY spoiled by the fantastic instructions from Helen's Closet. This Skirt of Doom (1/2)

Sewing godets is 9/10 nerve-wracking and 10/10 satisfying when I get it right. Working on the #SaundraSkirt by Syd Graham Patterns. I didn't know what the correct term was until a week ago, but I've adored godets my whole life.
