In this Friday Sews episode, I’m sharing three of my favorite things all in one cozy little sewing chat: a subscriber-only giveaway, a thrift haul, and my spring wardrobe sewing plans. I’m Lesley from The Sewing Circle (mom of 12, gran of 23), and if you love thrift flips, boho makes, and turning “what is that?” thrift finds into “oh my goodness, I made that,” you’re in the right place. I walk you through what I picked up at the thrift—think vintage fabrics, fun trims, and pieces just begging to be upcycled into something fresh for spring. Then I lay out my step-by-step plans for three spring makes: a cool breezy dress, a light bloomer pant, and a wedding-worthy dress. I also chat about how I adapt a pattern to the fabric I actually found on the haul (because real-life sewing isn’t always “perfect yardage, perfectly planned”). I mention patterns I’m eyeing—like the Hinterland Dress and the Spell Bound Dress—and I link a free bloomer pattern so you can sew right along with me. And don’t miss the giveaway details: like, subscribe, and comment with who taught you to sew and the story behind it.
