Every so often I decide I haven’t got enough to do, and start an elaborate project!
Upcycling a kimono into a cardigan jacket.
And doing Hong Kong seams.
Still need to do sleeves.
The bias pieces are cut from scraps left ove4 from another project.
#sewingsky
Work in progress: Inside front of maroon coloured jacket, showing the edge of the facing bound with patterned fabric. Inside back of maroon coloured jacket, showing side-back seams bound with patterned fabric. The centre back seams is not bound - the centre back pattern should have been on the fold, but kimonos are made with very narrow fabric. And here, the centre back seam is on the selvedge. The front view of jacket. The fabric is maroon jacquard - zoom in to see the beautiful pattern. Of course, none of the details of the Hong Kong seams are visible fr9m the front, but this is a couture technique, and takes ages.And I know, it’s there!

OK, #sewingsky I’m looking at replacing my old #Bernina with the #Juki HZL-F600. Good decision? All sewers opinions welcome 🧵🪡
(I’m keeping the Bernina & having it worked on when I get a chance, but need an updated machine now.)

My preferred alternative to doomscrolling is sewing, so I just started a pattern with 23 pattern pieces 🫣😬 Nobody has patience to toile this, here goes nothing

This is a good roundup for sewists on how to avoid AI slop patterns. I’d also recommend looking at Threadloop, which allows the community to flag patterns that are suspicious re: use of stolen/AI images #sewingsky

I accidentally* bought 3 yards of this new Fableism and I’m about to make it my whole personality. The post-wash/dry crinkle makes it look quilted?! ✨ #sewingsky

*discovered it online while sad and pre-ordered it without consideration for a pattern or why I needed 3 years…it’s only 44” wide?
Yarn-dyed woven fabric yardage. The fabric has a quilt-like crinkle and geometric pattern of rectangles and squares in various pinks, oranges, blues.

So, I got all ten horizontal strips sewn, and have begun assembling them into a quilt top. A couple of points don't quite meet and let's not get into the couple (!!) of wonky seams. It's coming together, and I'm THRILLED. #sewingsky
Ten horizontal strips of assembled patchwork squares, a mix of colourful Morris prints and neutral florals, lie on a similarly colourful carpet in a square formation. Four of the strips have been sewn together: they form a 4 x 10 rectangle and hang over the back of a chair.

Sewing Sunday at Château Beauvoir: assembling the quilt top that's been waiting for its moment since July 2025. I may have eleventy billion #knitting WiPs, but I won't - at least I hope I won't - develop the same habit with my quilting projects. #sewingsky #quiltingsky
Patchwork blocks, which I've made using Morris print fabrics in autumnal tones (red, ochre, green and blue) paired with a neutral beige leaf print, lie in strips on a wooden table.

Another #memademay 💁🏼‍♀️

The Margie Top by Stitch Witch is live, and pattern testing her was super fun. I made a thin strap variation with a matching asymmetrical skirt and I love the combo. She's doing a sale and giveaway for this release, be sure to check it out!

#sewingsky #sewsky #garmentsewing
A woman is modeling a two piece outfit she sewed herself in front of a white fence. The top is a sleeveless fitted top with thin straps and princess seams, with side tie details on each side. The skirt is a long asymmetrical maxi skirt that is shorter in the front and gets longer in the back, and has a long ruffle around the bottom hem. Both garments are made with black cotton crepe with a medieval floral design in dusty pink, green, orange and yellow colors. The dress is styled with black sunglasses and black doc martens boots.
