This picture is fuzzy and I don't' care because I This picture is fuzzy and I don't' care because I love it so much.⁣ ⁣ Sharing all about how I style my Meadowood through the winter with other patterns in my collection on the blog today. Go have a look and read.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #ssdmeadowood #ssdleavenworth #straightstitchdesigns #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking
I just had to post another Meadowood outfit becaus I just had to post another Meadowood outfit because it surprised me. I knew I liked Meadowood and Phinney Ridge together but this combination and the distressed jeans just made me happy. I love finding new ways to wear my clothes. . . #ssdmeadowood #ssdphinneyridge
The bias binding on Meadowood is such a great stas The bias binding on Meadowood is such a great stash buster. I like going through my scrap bin to find a fun coordinating fabric to add a pop of colour or pattern to my top. ⁣ ⁣ It makes the top even better and uses some of the scraps that pile up. Really it's a win/win in my book.⁣ ⁣ Today is the last day of the Meadowood sewalong and it all about buttons and buttonholes. Plus I share how you can skip the buttonholes if you just don't want to take on sewing 8 of them.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #ssdmeadowood #ssdsewalong ⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking
The one thing I have come to realize with my Meado The one thing I have come to realize with my Meadowood blouses is that they look great both on their own and layered with other patterns I have.⁣ ⁣ Yesterday I wore it with skinny jeans, moccasins, and a linen Leavenworth jacket. I love when a garment can be transitioned through the seasons.⁣ ⁣ Today is day 5 of the Meadowood sewalong where I am teaching you all about how to finish the neckline and front placket with bias tape. I may be crazy, but I love working with bias tape.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #ssdmeadowood #ssdleavenworth ⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking
It's Day 4 of the Meadowood Sewalong. Today is al It's Day 4 of the Meadowood Sewalong. Today is all about sewing the front and back together and getting all ready for the bias tape tomorrow. ⁣ ⁣ The biggest skill in this video is going over my method for gathering fabric. It's not nearly as difficult as it can seem.⁣ ⁣ Head to the link in my bio for the video and grab your copy of the pattern to sew along with me.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #ssdmeadowood #ssdphinneyridge #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking
It's Day 3 of the Meadowood Sewalong. Today is al It's Day 3 of the Meadowood Sewalong. Today is all about cutting out your fabric and making bias strips.⁣ ⁣ I don't provide fabric layout guides in my patterns so today's video is a great example of how I cut out pattern pieces. It also explains my reasoning behind not providing them in patterns.⁣ ⁣ And just a reminder, there is a coupon code in the video description if you haven't already picked up your copy of the pattern.⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #ssdmeadowood #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking
Today is the first day of the Meadowood sewalong a Today is the first day of the Meadowood sewalong and I am so excited to share an in-depth view of this pattern with you.⁣ ⁣ The first two videos are live now on Youtube and the blog. If you don't have the pattern yet, check out the coupon code in the video description.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #ssdmeadowood⁣ #makersgonnamake #makersvillage #creativelifehappylife #supporthandmade #straightstitchdesigns #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #bcsews #canadasews
Keeping it comfy while editing the Meadowood sew-a Keeping it comfy while editing the Meadowood sew-along.
It is such a strange holiday season this year for It is such a strange holiday season this year for so many of us. What would normally be a time to get together with people we love is now a chance for us to stay home and keep everyone safe and healthy. I have spent the last few weeks doing things that make me happy and just a little less homesick. Some of that is work and some are just for me. I hope you will take this opportunity to spend time doing the things you love. There are going to be so many sales this week especially for small businesses. I encourage you to find a way to support them even if that means just a share of a post or a shoutout on stories. It doesn't always mean a purchase. This business has been a labour of love for the last 6 years and I appreciate all of you who have been along for the ride. If there is a pattern you have been thinking about getting make sure to take advantage of the sale this week. Save 20% off patterns with code GIVING20. Happy Holidays and stay home, or wear a mask if you must leave the house!! This is only temporary but it could mean life or death for so many people around you.
