#WeekendSewingClub holiday special… this is the face of a woman thinking “fuck you I won”.

I jettisoned the coat I started last week (energy too scarce to waste on a project that doesn’t excite me), and redirected attention to the water-resistant, bonded houndstooth wool, but with a ‘simple’ cape pattern (new look, N6768).

It was like sewing a tarpaulin. Should have been doable in two days, but took 5. My hands are TRASHED. I love the result. #sewing #tailoring #iMadeItMyself #ItHasPockets

It’s the oversized blazer, done except for the front fastening. I just need to summon the energy to go out and find a suitable button.

Super pleased with this as my first start-to-finish garment of 2024, and an eminently wearable one.

Ok #WeekendSewingClub votes please! I've almost finished my winter party dress (with shades of a C18 wrapping gown/piratical banyan)... but what colour buttons should I use? Option 1, soft green, perfectly pick up the colours of the leaves, or option 2, dark pink, which go more with the base colour. Both types of buttons are 15mm in diameter, so don't affect the size of buttonhole to be set. @sewinguk @sewing

This has been in pieces for months, finally put it together. Fish fabric from the last student field trip I went on (Malaysia 2019).
