I made the Slate Skirt from Closet Core Crew patterns In black corduro. It was my first time doing contrast top stitching. Well worth the effort! #sewsky #garmentsewing

I made the Protea pants from Paradise Patterns and the Bonn shirt from Itch to Stitch to wear together to an event next month. The pants are made out of a textured cotton and the blouse is made out of a semi-sheer Tencel dobby.

I made the Brooks Jeans shorts from @helenscloset.bsky.social. The fabric is a 9.5 oz burgundy denim from @stylemakerfabrics.bsky.social. I made one size down from the recommended size for my waist and hips. I shortened the rise and the yoke one inch each. #sewsky #garmentsewing

I finally finished my Tesselated Vest (pattern from Andrea Mowry). Thanks for the awesome yarn, @knitworthyyarns.bsky.social!

These Falconer Pants are a @lovetosewpodcast.bsky.social baby. The pattern is from @helenscloset.bsky.social and the bull denim is from Blackbird Fabrics. I made a size 10 graded to 14 at the waist. I shortened the rise and leg because I’m 4’11” tall. #sewsky #garmentsewing

As soon as the Lazo jumpsuit was released by @helenscloset.bsky.social, I knew I had just the fabric for it. I’ve never purchased, printed and cut a pattern so fast. I can’t believe I finished this within a week of release. I love it! #garmentsewing#sewsky

I’ve really enjoyed mashing together the Eustis Top and Concord T-shirt (both) from Cashmerette. The fabric is a silk jersey from Mood Fabrics. The shorts are the Belize from @itchtostitch.bsky.social.

Here are the flare-leg pants version of the #cnisle pattern from @chalkandnotch.bsky.social. I used a stretch micro cord from @stylemakerfabrics.bsky.social. These are the best fitting pants I have! I’m wearing them with a Dawson Top from @helenscloset.bsky.social. #garmentsewing #sewsky

Just in time for #sewskychallenge2025 I finished my test of the #cnisle from @chalkandnotch.bsky.social. I used some stretch denim from Joann to make shorts using a tutorial on the Chalk and Notch website. Chalk and Notch says that the Isle Jeans go well with the #cnaria, and I totally agree!

I finished knitting this Rift Tee ages ago, but finally blocked it in December. It’s knit in Malabrigo Susurro purchased from Freeman’s Creative. I’m wearing it with an Estuary Skirt from @sewliberated.bsky.social. #knitsky #sewsky #garmentsewing

Last month I made a #saturdayskirtset skirt from @fridaypatternco.bsky.social. This skirt is the perfect A-line shape! I used an Atelier Brunette rayon twill. It’s worn with an #arlingtonsweater from @lovenotions.bsky.social.
