Started sewing together the crochet granny squares that will eventually be a sweater for my husband. Still need to crochet many more squares, but I like to sew as I go

Person with blue bangs, shaved head, blue glasses, holds up pinstriped pants about 90% sewn.
These pinstriped #JunePants by Helen's Closet are NOT fancy, they are made of 50% off "craft cotton" fabric that I had no idea was going to masquerade as something fancy - elastic in the waistband, then done!

Smilinh Selfie, I am wearing a dark green linen flowy dress and a green glass bead boho necklace. Hair is in a pony tail, silver and has an edgy short fringe.
Opp shopped necklace, #memade dress, me made cunty little fringe.
When I worked as a librarian I had a mean girl coworker who declared loudly once when I'd given myself a homecut fringe because I could afford hair salons IMAGINE GETTING A MINGE FRINGE. Anyway, fuck her I'm sure she's still miserable
A woman is standing in front of a white picket fence modeling a dress she sewed herself. The dress is a short A-Line, but fitted in the bust, with an elastic neckline and puffed short sleeves. The dress is made from black cotton sateen fabric patterned with pink, blue, and yellow astronauts, UFOs, planets, and other space-like figures. The dress is styled with white sunglasses, white ankle boots, white earrings, and a matching neck scarf made from the same fabric as the dress.

Long time no post, so here's a campy new make 💁🏼♀️
This is the Dover Dress by Stitch Witch, in cotton sateen. This was a very quick and easy sew, and includes cute details like a laced back feature that snatches the waist, and an elastic neckline and sleeves. I'm feelin it! #sewingsky #memade #sewsky
White and purple sewing machine on a table. Two lamps are pointed at the machine. There are two framed photos on the wall.
My sewing machine looks like it's about to give a press conference. (It's in a dark corner and so I have ALL the lights pointed at it.)

At the Just Keep Adding Rounds stage of my lace weight crochet project! The ends are curling in, but it’s cotton yarn, so I’ll press it flat when I’m done. Still have a way to go.

This fabric makes it impossible to photograph well, but I made a dress! It’s a super soft stretch fabric with an elastic waist that sits just under the bust.

Smiling person with blue bangs, shaved head, and black and white glasses in a shirt with crabby seagulls on it.
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...

Finished sewing these crochet granny squares into strips this morning.
Next step is to sew the strips together into a big square.

Me made Monday! I made this fun bee dress for the @jococruise last week and it was perfect for the hot Mexico weather. It’s my second Baker from Seamwork and both have been sleeveless.

She’s done and debuted! After deliberation, I give you ‘Titania.’ This retro wrap dress hasn’t been my favorite, but she taught me a lot about darting. A little whimsy and fae- she’s definitely a late spring/summer dress that will go best with open toed shoes.

Still slowly making granny squares that will eventually become a sweater for my husband. At this rate he’ll have it by mid-summer.

I'm wearing pleated wool trousers (a #greenstylecargo hack) and a wide neckline white/black polka dot T-shirt in bamboo elastane which is #greenstyleboxytee.
I'm wearing a yellow jumper with kangaroo pocket, which is #greenstylebanff. I'm also wearing black jeans with white roses all over, barrel legged, these are #fibremoodbarbro. I'm standing on a beach with the ocean behind me.
White fabric with black stripes in varying widths.
A magazine is open to the page showing #fibremoodronya, a wraparound cardiganish robeish thing.
I'm all secret squirrel on the #garmentsewing because I'm testing at present but here are some #memade outfits from today and yesterday and also a fabric+ pattern combo. Got this ticking at Dunedin hospice yesterday and ALSO made a new sewing friend, a lovely older lady at the counter 🥳🥹
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!

These new, fun pants were easy to put together using the Vogue pattern 9181. I like to sew, alter, remake, upcycle, refashion everything I can. #sewing #vogu9181 #memade #funpants #imadeitmyself
Quiet coffee and crafting time spent sewing together crochet granny squares.

I have to adjust the shoulders and back, but I am absolutely at that point where I am ready for her to be done. But god damn is she coming along!!!

Finally finished the black border around my lace weight granny squares! I think I’m going to use them to make a cocoon shrug. There’s not enough to make the whole thing out of the granny squares, but they can be a decorative panel for the back.

A gray canvas wristlet sits on a wood desk. It's handle has basic color blocked embroidery to cover up the icky old gray
Spent my flight on the way to the @acs.org Spring Meeting embroidering my purse handle because I realized last night that it was ratty.
I'll be the one sewing during sessions ☺️

Me in an initial K black shirt that must be 20 years old and a deadstock gray skirt made by me with me made hematite and thrift glass bead jewelry. There is also a tortitute girl cat on my sewing patterns on the floor cleaning herself because that is what torti cats do.
The tortitude cat in question now in my arms who is very unhappy to be snatched and unable to roll all over my fabric on the floor.
When was the Initial thing & how old is this K shirt? Why bother taking pics anyway of my me made jewelry & skirt if the cat is going to photobomb me every time? 🤦🏻♀️🤣🖤

Crochet granny square blanket in rounds of greys, purples, and fuchsia draped over the back of a couch.
Update on my stash busting crochet blanket! Finished the skein of scratchy dark grey yarn, and draped it on my couch to check the size. I think I want to do 5 or six more rounds and then reassess.

Person with blue framed glasses is holding a blue piece of fabric with crabby seagulls on it.
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.

Progress:
- cut an extra layer of the underdress to remove how sheer it was (no see through dresses).
- added an under facing to the whole collar.
- began staging and pinning a pearl trim and put in an order for additional trim so we can put it on the whole skirt.

Morning lake walk. That is a Sockhead hat on my head with leftover sock and mohair yarns. The hubs is wearing the Norwegian Fairisle Snowflake Hat. Both were knitted years ago. 😄 #memade #knitsky #knitting 🧶
She’s not super pretty yet- but she is cut! I am considering doing a liner though for how sheer the under dress us (picture in the right). Thoughts? Loving this combination so dar for what is starting to feel like a fae royal dress to me.
