In this Sewing Makes catch-up, I’m sharing what I’ve actually been sewing lately and chatting through the patterns that have been on my cutting table. It’s a proper “what have I been up to?” kind of video—realistic makes, what I enjoyed, and why these particular patterns have been calling to me. If you like hearing how a pattern fits into real life sewing (and what I’m reaching for when I want something wearable), you’ll feel right at home. I talk about the Style Arc Hope Dress, the Fabric Godmother Carnation Blouse, the Megan Nielsen Jarrah Sweater, and the Maison Fauve Tempête Blouse—so there’s a nice mix of dress, blouse and cosy layers. I also mention the label I used from the lovely @AdamSews, because I’m such a sucker for finishing touches that make a handmade garment feel that bit more special. And yes—this video is sponsored by Craftsy, so I also share the deal for new members if you fancy having a little browse and getting stuck into some classes. If you’re after pattern inspiration, a natter about recent makes, and a bit of motivation to get stitching, this one’s for you.
