Any newest pair of kite pants. The mods are all the same as the pair before. But what a cracking pattern. Made 3 more that I must post. Love them all and wear them all the time. #sewing #sewingsky #sewsky #garmentsewing #sewists #memade #sewover40

Finally got some time to sew!! Made these new (to me) kite pants by the matchy matchy sewing club. Love these so much!! Made a size small but the charts indicate I should have been a medium. and increased the leg length by 2”. #sewing #sewingsky #sewsky #garmentsewing #sewists #memade #sewover40

Made another Ornella top by spaghetti western sewing. This time I cut up an old tee that was too small had to take liberties with the pattern but really pleased with how it turned out. #sewing #sewingsky #sewsky #garmentsewing #sewists #memade #sewover40

New top by Spaghetti Western Sewing and it’s Ornella. I am in love. Modified it slightly by lowering the neckline by 2” and the armscy by 1”. love this top and how it turned out. #sewing #sewingsky #sewsky #garmentsewing #sewists #memade #sewover40

A new #upcycle of a vest top that’s RTW and some fabric to make this dropped waist dress. I love the outcome #sewing #sewingsky #sewsky #garmentsewing #sewists #memade #sewover40

I have also made this paddington top by the French Navy. It’s from the Peppermint magazine. It’s an absolute corker and my fave for a basic boxy crop won’t cute sleeves. #sewing #sewingsky #sewsky #garmentsewing #sewists #memade #sewover40

Neckband was stitched down with a zigzag as well as the sleeve hem. Stripes on the armscye don’t align.

Sewing basics makes me feel like a superhero. Especially when the fabric is free and the pattern is from a borrowed magazine. Could have done a better job at pattern matching the stripes, but I don’t mind because I was so lucky with the neckband.

Another set of #stylearcbobs #stylearcbobpants and I like this pair mostly but I just worry that gingham makes it look too pyjamaish. Still super comfy

Made some new gym clothes:
This is my favorite leggings pattern, the Jalie Clara, which is basic but perfect.
The fabric is compression swimwear purchased from Mood - very stretchy and very beefy.

refashioned an old dress to make it fit me better. It was the first dress I ever made for myself and I wasn’t wearing it anymore. So I made some changes #sewing #sewingsky #sewsky #garmentsewing #sewists #memade #sewover40
