  • Summer's last hurrah.  #closetcasepatterns #kalleshirtdress with more pics on the blog. Thanks @meesh.made for the fabric. #vancouverfabricswap organized by @helens__closet and Caroline @blackbirdfabrics #vancouversews #sewover50 #sewcialists
  • #BRAugust2018 Day 31: What's Next? Well I did not have enough FOE to finish my swimsuit and #noplanB  so hopefully @dressew has more. So #1 Buy supplies, most of which I order from @bramakerssupply #2 Finish swimsuit. #3 Sew all the things. Thanks @tailormadeshop for hosting #BRAugust2018 I am enormously inspired. #braugust #BRAugust2018 #vancouversews #sewover50 #sewcialists #bramakerssupply
  • Hey @sewcialists I'm squeaking in with my #sewstylehero make. Inspired by @my_small_wardrobe ....lots more on my blog. #sewcialists #vancouversews #sewover50 #moodfabrics
  • #BRAugust2018 Day 30: Pastel/Fluorescent @bodils_wear @tailormadeshop Team pastel for me. I love light tints with a pop of colour. Fluorescent? Maybe one day. #bragust @makebraofficial #makebradl01
  • #BRAugust2018 - Hindsight. Early in the bra making game, I did not fully understand the complexities of underwires. Finding the coŕrect wire, not only the size but the shape as well,  is an important first step....oops a step I skipped right over. It's worth the time and money to purchase several different wires at the onset. #mayabra WIP #braugust @clothhabit @tailormadeshop #emeralderin #bravobellabras
  • My Charlie Caftan, view A, but maxified. It's love. Fabric is a drapey viscose from @blackbirdfabrics Pattern from @closetcase.patterns  Read about it on my blog. #charliecaftan #blackbirdfabrics #sewcialists #vancouversews #closetcasepatterns

  • #braugust2018 #braugust Day 2 Game Plan. I admit, I'm not much of a planner. But...I do have high hopes of sewing a #sophieswimsuit this month. And a bra set..eep...this is all starting to feel like a plan.  Waving Hi to @libelle_sewing and PS, a day late but also hello and a massive thank you to  @tailormadeshop  #BRAugust2018
