Picked up knitting needles for the first time in ages today and my hand's muscle memory purred into action in a snap 🫰 amazing! Looking even more forward to my yarn order and starting my Sophie Hood by #PetiteKnit

I started this project over a year ago, but just wasn’t that much into sewing this year. But one of my best friends is getting married next month and that was just the incentive I needed to finish this dress. First time making button holes by myself and first time that I managed an invisible zipper that is actually invisible. Quite proud of this little project and now I have the perfect outfit for a midsummer wedding 😊 #sewing #sewingproject #sewingbee #sewyourown #makeyourown #makeyourownclothes #makersgonnamake #zelfgenaaid #zelfgemaakt #gelukiseenjurk #lmv #jeweljurk #jeweldress #lmvjewel

Handsewn skirt (can be used as a petticoat, making it a versatile garment!)

But the most important thing about it is that ✨ it's got pockets ✨

Attended (briefly) a work celebration today, and since the light, if not the temperature, makes me think of spring I decided to dress all in green.
The #dirdnl style dress is made from thrifted fabric, with buttons from a work out medieval dress, but the blouse is bought new (gasp!) , as are the tights, which are from Snag tights. The shoes are from a charity shop in Helsingborg, from when I visited a friend in November.

Waiting for the medical yoga session.
There's this (very important) campaign regarding the unsustainable practices of the fashion industry where they ask "Do you know who made your clothes?"
My answer is : I am not senile yet: I made the tights and the shirt, and my friend Anna knitted the jumper. Unfortunately I don't know who made my knickers, bra, socks and shoes. But it is a start.

@CardamineGreen I follow a bunch of Youtubers who, to a varying extent, talk about making, patterns, sewing skills, etc. They often organize challenges and encourage sharing viewers' makes on Instagram. (#sewfrugal, #sewyellowforendo, #selflesssew) I would love for Mastodon to become a tool for that sort of coordinated activity.#sewing, #makeyourownclothes, #fiberarts, #mending

Hey, curvy girls who love to sew! I found a wonderful database of patterns in sizes to fit every shape and size. No more searching for designers who carry your size!

I'm attaching the imperial size chart, but they also have metric.
