One piece of an incomplete silk leopard print blazer pinned to a dressform.

a few yards of horsehair canvas interfacing

It takes WAY more time, but I prefer hand sewing on horsehair canvas interfacing instead of fusible interfacing. The structure can be adjusted slightly with more or fewer stitches. #sewsky #sewing #handmade #luxurysewing #bespoke #africansewing

I don’t sew to save money. I like luxury fabrics and luxury outfits.
The blazer is a silk jacquard fabric and the dress is a simple stretchy bamboo. #sewsky #sewing #luxurysewing #blackgirlsews #africansewing

Luxury Sewing for me includes the little details like topstitching with quality thread and using durable shank buttons.
