Styling the Leavenworth Jacket was the most fun I Styling the Leavenworth Jacket was the most fun I had.

It's a pattern release day!! Today I have two patt It's a pattern release day!! Today I have two patterns for you, Leavenworth Jacket and Icicle Creek Dolman. ⁣ ⁣ These patterns I created for my Makers Retreat and couldn't help but offer them to the rest of you.⁣ ⁣ Leavenworth has has 3/4 sleeves, curved back yoke, side slits, and completely finished seams. My favourite fabric to sew it in is linen.⁣ ⁣ Icicle Creek has two views to choose from. View A is hip length with a henley placket. View B is longer with side slits and basic bound neckband. I love sewing the henley in bamboo jersey and the other in bamboo french terry.⁣ ⁣ The patterns are marked down through next Wednesday, but if you buy both save an additional 10% with code RETREATCOLLECTION.⁣ ⁣ #ssdleavenworth #ssdiciclecreek #ssdmakersretreat19⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking #ciamember

Every since this Silverton Blazer sample came back Every since this Silverton Blazer sample came back from @sewnews I have been wishing it was my size. Today I decided I was just going to wear it, as long as my arms fit in the sleeves 😂 They did and I love it and now I need to make one that is actually the correct size. I do love this colour though so I will keep wearing this too small jacket. Happy Monday! . . #silvertonblazer #straightstitchdesigns #indiepatterns
Weekends are for family, house projects, hobbies, Weekends are for family, house projects, hobbies, and usually a little work.⁣ ⁣ But in the case of today it involves work that is also a fun family activity. The kids and I spent some time playing with polymer clay.⁣ ⁣ I was trying to see if making clay earrings would work for my Makers Retreat in November. The kids were creating elaborate figures while experimenting with different colour combinations.⁣ ⁣ If you are wondering, we are definitely making clay earrings for the retreat!!!⁣ ⁣ #sculpey #polymerclay #ssdmakersretreat20 #wearhandmade #clayearrings
Spent yesterday and today sewing samples for the p Spent yesterday and today sewing samples for the photoshoot on Tuesday. I got to the step in the Leavenworth jacket that called for trimming the seam allowance and it got me thinking. Does anyone else trim their seam allowance with a rotary cutter? It is so much faster and I have only cut into my garment by accident once 😂 #ssdleavenworth #straightstitchdesigns #sewingtipsandtricks #makersgonnamake
The sun has been shining for days and I just can't The sun has been shining for days and I just can't even believe it. If you ever wonder why people live in Seattle, the last few days is the reason. It's like a couple days of sunshine erase the months of grey.⁣ ⁣ This sunshine has me itching to do some fabric dyeing. Now to decide whether I do ice dyeing or make a vat of indigo.⁣ ⁣ I also think I am going to bring back fabric dyeing to the Makers Retreat in November. Are you registered yet?
