Sweater knit fabric

I’m still deciding whether or not to create this next project using the draping technique. Either way, I have a wedding to attend in early spring and want to be super comfy and chic. #sewing #sewsky #isew #draping #luxurysewing #handmade #custommade

A long wool brown coat

🥹 A labor of love. Finally completed this self drafted coat. A coat I’ve been dreaming about since I bought the fabric in 2020 😅🪡🧵

Embroidered pillow with words.

I love my embroidery machine so much 😆

I created the art in Adobe illustrator then paid for someone to digitize the hands for my embroidery machine to read. I finally traced the letters on felt fabric, cut it out and sewed it to the pillow. #luxurysewing #sewing #machineembroidery #blackart

Super easy raincoat I made to fit an mid sized Afro 😆. This fabric isn’t as waterproof as I would have liked so I will need to make another one. Something way more luxurious 🤑 ☔️ 🌧️ #isew #sewing #luxurysewing #bespoke

Blazer is done 🧵🪡💁🏾‍♀️ Technically this is machine washable but I’m a little scared to try 🫣. I used cotton canvas instead of wool and paired with scuba crop top and leggings. #madebyme #sewsky #sewing #luxurysewing #memade #bespoke #handmade #healthyhabit #blazer #icansew

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

If you are looking for fabric, try Etsy and search, for example, “bamboo fabric by the yard” or whatever material you are looking for. There are a lot of small shops with quality fabrics way better and more unique than what corporations offer. 😁 #sewsky #sewing #luxurysewing

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

Unfinished sweatshirt material pants with a welt pocket

The best part about being able to sew my own clothes is making sure ALL my pants have big pockets 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 #sewing #luxurysewing #diy #bespoke

An unfinished jacket's sleeve with gold buttons

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