The only kind of laundry I like is samples of my p The only kind of laundry I like is samples of my patterns for a photoshoot tomorrow. Why does green always photograph brown! . . #ssdleavenworth #ssdiciclecreek #indiepatterns #straightstitchdesigns #seattlesews #sewcialists
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?

Remember this shirt from a few months ago?⁣ ⁣ Remember this shirt from a few months ago?⁣ ⁣ It was inspired by a shirt that @shoplamercerie has that I knew I could recreate with my Icicle Creek pattern. I loved it so much that I have added it to the pattern as another view.⁣ ⁣ And...⁣ ⁣ It is almost ready for all of you. Watch for the release next week with the Leavenworth jacket. There may also be a 3rd pattern releasing!!⁣ ⁣ #ssdiciclecreek #ssdleavenworth #ssdlayerscollection #ssdmakersretreat19⁣ #straightstitchdesigns #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #wearhandmade #sewingpattern #seattlesews #isew #sewing #sewingproject #seamstress #patternmaking #ciamember

This Fauntleroy has been on my brain all week. Bu This Fauntleroy has been on my brain all week. But so much life got in the way I didn't get a chance to actually make it until this morning. I love when I get a chance to mix my business with one of my hobbies, makes both that much more fun. Embroidery is a newish hobby but already addicting. Valentine's day is not something we celebrate besides sending Valentine's with the kids to school, but I couldn't help making my every day wear a little more festive. . . #fauntleroyraglan #straightstitchdesigns #embroidery #sewcialists #memadeeveryday #sewersofinstagram #indiepatterns #seattlesews
