The offical pattern name may be Rosalie Skirt ( it is impossible to find a functioning link to any official site), but for me, this will always be my Lexicon Valley skirt, since I binge-listened to numerous episodes of the podcast while making this skirt (and its muslin). Many months ago, I already muslined the … More Rosalie Skirt by la Maison Victor
I don’t do sports apart from cycling to work. Hence, I used to not own any sportswear. I now am the happy owner of this pair of joggers, although technically they don’t count as sportswear, do they? People never seem to wear bottoms like this when exercising anymore, its all yoga pants and specialist fabrics. … More Seamwork Mel Joggers
This top has been finished for months now. I made it in my first quarantine ( Since then I had a second- oh the joys of being a teacher) and have been waiting for an opportunity to take some pictures. Since this is my second iteration of this pattern (first version here), I didn’t really … More Another Seamwork Jo Top
My sister and I have been gifted several boxes of fabric by our grandma’s friend. Among those boxes were two very sizeable boxes of leather, huge and small pieces of smooth leather and suede in several colours. I had some time on my hands this week so I started to put that leather into good … More Leather Purses
How do they say? Never change a winning team? Well, meet my third Seamwork Gretta top! After my first wearable muslin I perfected the fit of the pattern with my second version. My second version which I made out of a mystery rayon crepe has become a summer wardrobe staple. Roughly a year ago I … More Seamwork Gretta III
This skirt has been finished months ago, but you know how long it takes to get some pictures. This is my third version of Megan Nielsen’s Kelly skirt, this time in a dark green wool. I made additional some minor adjustments after I had already altered my pattern pieces for my second version. So this … More Kelly III (Megan Nielsen)
This top makes me feel: 1. smug because I managed to use all my leftovers from this t-shirt. I love a good bargain. 2. really chuffed because I did not have to do anything twice. No seam ripping whatsoever. 3. my skill level is going up because I managed a really nice and flat neckline … More Seamwork Astoria Again
Hi there, I am back again with a quick and simple sew- the Seamwork Astoria t-shirt. I wear a lot of high-waisted skirts, which is why, two years back I fell hard for Deer and Doe’s Ondee. I bought the pattern and made a wearable muslin, which I never seem to wear, because of some … More Seamwork Astoria
This is the first installment on my journey to a blouse that fits me. More precisely, this is already the third installment, but I never posted the first two, because they did not even make it past the finished muslin stage. 1. Mimi Blouse by Tilly and the Buttons: Albeit picking the size according to … More Not there yet. Not even close yet.
I like fitted clothes, the style lines of the first half of the 20th century and a defined waist. So Seamwork’s Jo dress pattern did not speak to me when it was released- but I weirdly enough I immediately fell for the top hack. I never thought boxy tops would be my style but I … More Jo by Seamwork
