About 15 years ago I made my first bag

It was a labour of love, I learnt so much that I've used again and again. It came with me across the US, but I've not used it since. It's too big for everyday use so it's been shoved in storage for over a decade

Today I'm gently taking it apart to reuse the pieces for a bag I'll hopefully use more, and thanking it for its service

Nearly finished first version of the dress pattern. Really like how it turned out. Love the fabric.
The dress form has a shorter upper body than me, that's why it looks a bit too long.

Working on a new dress pattern.

New sewing projects!

After nearly 2 months no #sewing I found some time recently to make couple of small projects (I'm in my learning phase)
This time i decided to make an elastic #bandana and a small coin pouch.

Ok, sewing people. I want a summer robe (of the kind to wear over pyjamas, not of the kind to go out), and I think I have settled for a Yukata style kimono (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukata)

#sewing #sewingproject #clothing I had to laugh at the title of this pattern, "Let's flamingle" printed in the selvage. I made the bias binding for the hem from the same fabric to keep the theme. As always, no elastic, no buttons, it simply ties and therefore, adjusts to the body as needed. It has pockets.

I wanted to make something fun but cohesive and could go from indoor to outdoor without much effort.

made from dyed abacá and woven cloth with katsa (recycled cheesecloth) lining

around 1 week including the prototype as it was my first time using abacá

made the bandana from the retaso; it reminded me of amorsolo paintings

more photos of the handmade blouse (taken in the edoya bathroom because lighting). this is a cheap cotton fabric mass produced in china but with "traditional" patterns, so its use is actually discouraged. for me though, since it costs just around 50 php/yard and is easy to cut and sew, it's a good way to practice pattern alignment before working with real indigenous fabrics which can cost up to x10. I'll show you the one I made with woven cloth from baguio soon!

Pinned the pattern, now cutting it out.

My current project.

Thank you for the warm welcome here
Here is a shirt I sewn for a series teaser intitled Club Michel by Paul Mas.
It's enterely handstiched to hide the armatures needed for animation. The transparency needed was a challenge becausd I had to hide all the inside job.

New #sewing experiment (I'm learning how to use a #sewingmachine).
I tried to make a #laptopbag with #wonderwoman #fabric.
I'm new to the sewing world, and I have a lot to learn, so apologies for all the imperfections, especially the zipper! But I'm happy that i managed to finish it. Here the full story (free): https://ko-fi.com/post/Long-time-no--sewing-A0A7150002

Darf ich euch kurz mein Teewee Tetris Kissen zeigen?

Eigener Schnitt, selbst genäht und selbst verschenkt.

Was sorting through a pile of fabric pieces and came across this fabric panel decorated with iron-on vinyl and eyelets to look like a microbit. It was supposed to be part of a bag, but I never got around to completing it. The eyelets are spaced to hold an LEDs string behind them. Now I'm thinking it might look cute sewn to the back of a denim jacket.
#microbit #sewingproject

Today's procrastimake was inspired by the frigid weather (elsewhere in the US, as I'm in SoCal) and the heads up (pun intended) from @Jorvon_Moss that tomorrow is National Hat Day. Seems like a good time to start sewing an LED string into a band to attach to a fleece cap.

Considering this prototype ears hat a success tbh.

I have had ears beanies before, but I notice that most people place the ears at the apex of the beanie. I wear my beanies slouchy so the apex is typically at the back of my head, not where ears should be. Wanted to try out making a hat with ears on top or "the side" of the beanie so they'd actually be on top when I wear it lol.

I saw a friend of mine had made sock dogs, and I have a butt ton of worn out socks (and wanted a fun project while #LearningToSew) so I made Dot.
She’s a little wonky, but she’s frickin cute!

Weirdly there comes a point in toy making where it begins to feel a bit violent, around when she got a head and became a she… or is that just me?

Pattern by Miyako Kanamori

brave enough to cut the fancy expensive retro reflective fabric. now I just need to tidy up the edges and sew it down

Odds are looking good that I can finish the jacket this weekend and be ready for the cold snap :)
