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)

#SewAndTell week 31 is pockets - here is the yellow pocket in my green SewOverIt 60’s coat - this fabric was kindly donated by my friend Yazz in lockdown so whenever I wear it it reminds me of her #garmentsewing
Pockets! Right, so, I’ve made two (so far!) Artist Apron Dresses from @charmpatterns.bsky.social . I went with both the apron pockets and the side seam pockets, as well as the bib pocket, giving me 7 total in each dress! Can’t wait to make more!

One benefit of sewing is adding pockets everywhere. Let's show some of your best makes with pockets.

#SewAndTell Week 30 - Sewing HotTakes
As soon as the new fabric arrives home: get washed and dried: Less drama later 🔥
#SewAndTell Hot Takes - I am of the firm belief that all patterns should have a seam allowance included, rather than needing to be added when tracing/ cutting!
#SewAndTell Week 30 - Sewing Hot Takes 🔥
Since I'm late again 😅
Let's do some Hot Takes.
Mine is:
It's ok to start sewing with a cheap machine. A good machine is quite an investment when you're not sure if you will stick with the new hobby.
Person with blue bangs and blue glasses in an orange shirt with a half-finished shirt over it patterned with crabby seagulls.
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!

Yesterday I sewed this t-shirt for my dolls, by hand, as usually, because #dollclothes are so tiny that my sewing machine "eats" them 😁, especially soft knit fabrics. And I like sewing by hand while watching those tv-programs which I don't want to stare intensively 🤔! #SewAndTell #sewing #dollsky

#sewandtell this week is hand sewn projects!
As strange as it may seem to some, I don't mind seaming or sewing up my projects ☺️
So here are a few of my hand sewn blankets. More info on the patterns in the comments.

A reading bone made from a white cotton with a large sunflower print. The reading bone is on an Armchair and a book is leaning against the reading bone. The book is a german version of "The little Prince"
So, what are your hand sewn projects?
Do you sew the whole thing by hand or do you just sew up the occasional finishing detail by hand.
By the way #knitting and #crochet projects, that involve hand sewing are absolutely fair game for this #SewAndTell prompt.

Sorry everyone. The last week was very busy and #SewAndTell totally slipped my mind.
So a bit late ... 🙈

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.

A pair of pinky red needle cord jeans resting on an oak table. Waistband can be seen above the jeans. Cut line marked with pins.
Is this going to be worth the effort? I've never really worn these as the waist was too high, so I'm knocking an inch off. Can't do more due to construction. Gained, lost, gained weight, so I won't take them in much. #sewandtell

Because I'm terrified of my first jacket (#SpindriftJacket) my progress has be GLACIAL but while I wait for the Crabby Seagull fabric to arrive I've actually made a tiny bit of progress. This is the front left:

A couple of not-great photos for this week’s work-in-progress theme on #SewAndTell. This is the early stages of a Sew Over It Farah jumpsuit in a purpley blue cotton. Need to do the cuffs next!

Some projects just take longer.
Finding the right pattern, the perfect fabric, cutting, sewing, seam ripping 😅, sewing again ...
So, I would like to make sewing plans a recurring prompt (maybe every two month). What do you think?

Collage of three photo's: on the left a dress form with a burgundy cardigan with two front buttons & frilly ends, top right shows scissors and the cardigan lying flat on a table with a part already cut to size, bottom right shows one re-created side slit. The colours are different in each photo due to light exposure.
Here's a wintry alteration for #SewAndTell. I turned this long knitted woollen cardigan from an XL into an S size, re-created the side slits & shortened the sleeves.
There's always that moment of hesitation before using scissors 😅

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)
