It's #memademay and I made a thing!
The Box Box Dress from Merchant & Mills, done in a seersucker plaid. I mimicked the pattern's zig-zag on lengthened sleeves. I added side pockets, too. #mmboxboxdress #sewsky

Sewing is therapy. Be creative while the world burns. It’s good for your soul. Here is my latest creation, the Merchant and Mills Ellis dress sewn in Winter Hymn linen from M&M with Scandinavian-inspired cross stitch that I designed and stitched while watching endless episodes of Bones.

This Merchant and Mills Hattie dress has been in my WIP pile for a year. I can’t figure out the lining, so I gave up and decided to use bias binding. Love the drop waist and the plaid cotton. Chopped loads of length off the skirt and it hits just right! #garmentsewing #dressmaking

Made a new dress for Friendsgiving. Fabric is expensive because of the tariffs, so I used a pattern I know and love well: The Dress Shirt by Merchant and Mills. Anyone else make something for Thanksgiving? #garmentsewing #dressmaking #merchantandmills

Maakte dit pak van wol en op een paar correcties na heb ik besloten er nog een te maken in de Merchant en Mills linnen die al bijna een jaar in m’n kast ligt.

I use scissors to cut paper, for calligraphy, but it's astonishing what a difference quality manufacturing makes in tools. (Merchant & Mills are the deluxe ones for paper.)

Absolutely love the Nicks blouse pattern by #closetcore. I made version B in cotton from Merchant and Mills. I may move the buttons down on future versions. One of my favorite makes all year. What did you love sewing in 2025? #garmentsewing #sewsky
