Meet my new favorite dress! It's a modified versio Meet my new favorite dress! It's a modified version of the Magnolia dress and I just love how the red dotted viscose works with the pattern. PATTERN Magnolia dress by @deer_and_doe_patterns . It's the third time I made this dress, but I made some modifications this time. FABRIC A dark red viscose with black dots. I bought it for dirt cheap at the @lapjesmarktutrecht a few months ago. MODIFICATIONS I changed the skirt for a massive circle skirt that makes twirling around so much fun :D The sleeves are also a bit different, they're based on the long sleeves but then with a few pleats. #ddmagnolia #ddmagnoliadress #deeranddoemagnolia #deeranddoe #viscosedress #lapjesmarktutrecht #isewmyownclothes
Whoops, it's been a while since I posted anything Whoops, it's been a while since I posted anything on here! I was working remotely from Greece for a couple of weeks so I was way too busy with being at the beach in my time off 😆 Here's my version of the super popular Eve dress. Complete details are on my blog, but here's the summary: PATTERN Eve dress by @sewoveritlondon I made the version with the butterfly sleeves and a level hem. The fit isn't great though, the neckline gapes so I need a safety pin. FABRIC a viscose fabric by @vandervorstmodestoffen (I bought a lot of fabric there last year) which is a good fit for the pattern but I feel like the crazy print doesn't suit me at all... MODIFICATIONS I finished the neckline differently than what I'm supposed to and put biaistape on the inside. I made the holes in the side seam bigger so I can pull the dress tighter. I wish I would've changed the sleeves for a different design though. I mean, it gets super wrinkly when you wear it under a jacket... How do you girls deal with that?! #sewoveriteve #soievedress #sewoverit #isewmyownclothes #viscosedress
Pretty happy to be taking photos outside again :) Pretty happy to be taking photos outside again :) After fiddling around with lots of lycra and new sewing patterns, I thought it was time for circle skirt number 100000! PATTERN A simple half circle skirt which is based on the @freesewing_org Sandy circle skirt. FABRIC Not entirely sure what kind of fabric this is, maybe a mix of cotton and polyester? White and tiny pink flowers are usually too sweet for my liking but this time I couldn't resist this cute remant. I bought it some time ago at @vandervorstmodestoffen in Helmond. MODIFICATIONS I added a pocket in the side seam (just one cause I'm lazy), and a blind zipper. Somehow my notes read that the skirt would be too tight and should only be used as a dress, but it turned out too large anyway... I was too lazy to unpick the whole waistband so now the back panels are less wide than the front, but I couldn't care less ;) #lazysewist #circleskirt #selfmadefashion #sandycircleskirt #imakemyownclothes
Just casually performing my role as a Francaise hi Just casually performing my role as a Francaise hiding from the sun. 🥖🧀🥐 Top is the Nutmeg off shoulder top by @studiocalicot in fabric by @driessenstoffen and the skirt is a half circle skirt in some kind of synthetic fabric. It's the second skirt I ever made and still a favorite! Wearing a slip underneath is so far my best way to remedy clingy synthetic fabrics, let me know if you know anything better! #sewing #offshouldertop #studiocalicotnutmeg #nutmegtop #nutmegoffshouldertop #imakemyownclothes #boaterhat #circleskirt
Happy May! As usual I'll be joining Me Made May ag Happy May! As usual I'll be joining Me Made May again, which I'll document in my stories (and highlights) this year. I didn't wear this outfit today but did post about it on my blog recently. I cut this project in December already but only finished it now because winter is not a good time to be sewing summer tops! FABRIC some kind of cotton mix from @driessenstoffen which I bought quite some years ago. I never knew what to do with the fabric so it stayed in my stash for a long time. I had a lot so I also made some aprons for my dad of it. Let's see how we match 😁 PATTERN the Nutmeg off shoulder top by @studiocalicot It took me a long time to find an off shoulder pattern that I liked. Suitable for woven fabrics, no ruches/fringes and properly off-shoulder. But this is the perfect pattern! MODIFICATIONS I went rogue 🤪 and just cut the fabric without making a toile. Surprisingly it just fit perfectly and I only took in the sides a little bit but that was a personal preference. For the next one I'll make the sleeves a bit bigger/poofier though. #sewing #offshouldertop #studiocalicotnutmeg #nutmegtop #nutmegoffshouldertop #imakemyownclothes #boaterhat
Now on the blog: the two bikinitops and one bottom Now on the blog: the two bikinitops and one bottom I made for our vacation to Curacao. FABRIC Rainforest Lycra from @budgetstoffen I only needed half a meter of fabric for all 3 items (and I have plenty left for more). Somehow I find it really hard to find lycra with nice prints here in the Netherlands but I love this one! PATTERNS Natalie top and Ranger bottoms from @edgewaterave and the Grace top from @bikinidesignclub MODIFICATIONS none at all for the Natalie top, heightened the front of the Ranger bottoms because I didn't like the 'v' shape. For Grace I installed some rings and sliders for the straps and a bikini clasp at the back. #sewing #sewingswimwear #edgewateravenathalie #edgewateravenueranger #bikinidesignclubgrace
This is what I do when the neckline is too tight a This is what I do when the neckline is too tight and I can't be bothered to cut a bigger one. I guess I could've made it green but now it looks like it's a design feature and supposed to be this way 🤭 Label from @kylieandthemachine because when I tried the sweater on while wearing pyjama pants I realized it kind of looks like a pyjama top ;) #sewinghack #pattydooamy #frenchterrysweater
Back from holiday so also back to posting to Insta Back from holiday so also back to posting to Instagram! I made this 'spring sweater' a few weeks ago. FABRIC two types of French terry (lavender and mint green) from @budgetstoffen Easy to work with, soft and not too warm. PATTERN Amy by @pattydooblog which you can download for free if you sign up to their news letter. It's a pretty simple raglan longsleeve top. MODIFICATIONS Obviously I colorblocked it because I thought it was fun :D This pattern is pretty huge in size though so I used the smallest size available. #freesewingpattern #amypattydoo #pattydooamy #frenchterrysweater #sewing #colorblock #colorblockedsweater
Here are a bunch of some details of my Sicily Slip Here are a bunch of some details of my Sicily Slip dress by @sewing.masin and the adaptations I made. 1) The fabric was very sheer so I had to line it with black charmeuse 2) This is how I lined the front with the cowl neck- if you need more explanation on how I lined it I'd be happy to provide it! 3) The black bra straps and funky purple metallic sliders I got from mr. Ali in China. 4) To make sure the lining wouldn't creep up while wearing it, I added this little chain of embroidery thread between the two layers. 5) This ABSOLUTELY needed the label "Party dress" by @kylieandthemachine 6) And the result again, I like pairing it with my stripey tights and heavy boots. #sewing #sicilyslipdress #partydress #sewing #brastraps #lining #transparentdress #isewmyownclothes
My birthday is coming up so I thought I'd get star My birthday is coming up so I thought I'd get started on my first dress from my collection of fancy fabrics. It came out as a pretty crazy psychedelic party dress. The metallic fabric looks kind of black from a distance, but up close it's blue/purple/pink. FABRIC I got this in the Parisian fabric district around the Sacre Coeur when we were there around Christmas time 2019. I got it in a shop with lots of wacky fabrics where they probably mostly had drag queens and figure skaters as clients ;) It's metallic, pretty stretchy and transparent so I had to line it with some black charmeuse. PATTERN It's the Sicily slip dress by @sewing.masin but then adapted for a stretch fabric. I think slip dresses are very cute and sexy and the waterfall neckline suits my wacky fabric so well! MODIFICATIONS a lot due to the fact my fabric was stretchy, so I took the smallest size and even took it in a few more cm. I shortened it too and instead of the fabric straps I used bra straps with sliders. I will soon make another post with some more details! #sewing #sicilyslipdress #sewingmasin #sewingpartydress #metallicdress #slipdress #imakemyownclothes #zelfgemaaktejurk #ikmaakmijneigenkleding
