Yesterday we talked about how you can make our new Yesterday we talked about how you can make our new Elodie Wrap Dress pattern for a wedding or other formal event (or, the fancy party you plan on attending once all this Covid madness is behind us). ⁠ ⁠ While it's true that Elodie makes a fine companion for evening, she also works mighty fine for day to day life. The shorter sleeve and above-knee length has a much more casual vibe (especially with the patch pocket) and we like it in cottons and linens for this reason. In a fun print like this beauty from @blackbirdfabrics, it's a mood elevator in dress form.⁠ ⁠ I'm scheming up a few casual cool weather versions myself. I think a wool crepe Elodie would be perfect layered over tights for walks around town once the temperature starts to drop.⁠ ⁠ Day or night? How would you interpret this pattern?⁠ _________________________⁠ #elodiewrapdress #closetcorepatterns #sewist #maker #diystyle #indiesewing #sewistsofinstagram #sewsewsew #sewinglife #diywardrobe #isew #sewallthethings #diy #sewingaddict #sewinglove #sewingpatterns #handmadewardrobe #makersgonnamake #sewcute #makersmovement #isew #memade #seamstress #sewingfun #createeveryday #fortheloveofsewing #modernsewist #selfsewn #sewunique

We've never designed anything that could remotely We've never designed anything that could remotely be described as "eveningwear", so we were pretty thrilled when we realized our new Elodie Wrap Dress makes an elegant, minimalist wedding dress when sewn in the right fabric.⁠ ⁠ In this case, we choose a luxe 4 ply silk crepe. It's the perfect choice for a romantic, ethereal gown, and because there is no heavy understructure, fiddly closures, or even a lining to worry about, you can make a gorgeous wedding dress for a fraction of the cost of retail. Best of all, when the wedding is over, you can dye it a different colour and give it a second life for your new life. That's what we call a win-win.⁠ ⁠ Not getting married but still need a fancy dress (or just sewing for a party life post-quarantine)? Choose drapey, luxe fabrics like silk charmeuse, crepe de chine, tencel or viscose to create a floaty, twirly Elodie that will make you feel like a million bucks.⁠ ________________________⁠ #elodiewrapdress #weddingdress #diywedding #closetcorepatterns #handmadewardrobe #maker #makersgonnamake #sewcialist #memade #slowfashion #sewcreative #isewmyownclothes #isewclothes #imakemyclothes #ilovesewing #imadethis #fashionsewing #sewaddicted #makersmovement #sewingaddict #sewinglove #sewinglife #sewsewsew #sewcreative #sew #ilovetosew #sewhappy #sewn #slowfashionmovement #memadeeveryday

Maybe the prettiest pattern we've ever designed, o Maybe the prettiest pattern we've ever designed, our new Elodie Wrap Dress is the twirly, swirly stuff of sewing dreams. Available in sizes 0-30, it's calling out to that gorgeous fabric you've been hoarding in you stash for just the right moment.⁠ ⁠ With a dolman sleeve in two lengths and gorgeous shaping from release pleats under the bust, the bodice feels great to wear, especially since we worked hard to eliminate the gaping that happens with so many wrap dresses. With a full skirt in three lengths, you can make yourself a casual, everyday wrap dress, or a jaw-dropping formal number with a longer skirt in luxe fabric. My personal favourite combo is the longer sleeve and midi length - it feels like a modern take on a 40s silhouette, something you could really jitterbug in.⁠ ⁠ We'll be exploring the day to night potential of this in the coming days, but rest assured this pattern works in a wide variety of fabrics, from crisp cottons and rumpled linens to the drapiest of silks. In this slideshow we used a silk print I found years ago in NYC, a linen print from @blackbirdfabrics, a 4 ply silk crepe for our wedding dress, and a hand dyed rayon challis (which we are working on a tutorial for!) In the coming weeks we've got blog posts coming your way with fabric options, styling suggestions and fit help to make your Elodie dreams a reality.⁠ ⁠ Speaking of Elodie... our muse for this romantic dress is the romantic style of @elodieblueberry. The queen of handmade wrap dresses, we designed this wrap dress with her in mind. Go give her a follow for some daily handcrafted chic French goodness in your feed.⁠ ⁠ We've got more deets on the blog, but let us know if you have any questions about our new baby!

Yay! We were finally able to shoot our Blanca Flig Yay! We were finally able to shoot our Blanca Flight Suit in our 14-30 size range! We were so obsessed with how great our model Vanessa (@vane.si.nah ) looked in these Blancas that we had to let her keep one; she was so stoked to finally have a boiler suit that fit her curves and height. It was a great reminder that RTW jumpsuits fit so few of us - more reasons to make one yourself, amiright?⁠ ⁠ More things we love: ⁠ - This cream topstitching on army green canvas situation (shout out to Alexis, our resident topstitching queen). ⁠ - This lovely merlot cotton twill from @blackbirdfabrics, accessorized with a random patch I found at a local spot here in Montreal.⁠ - That optional tapered hem... still gets me excited months later.⁠ ⁠ You'll be seeing more of Vanessa next week when we launch our NEW PATTERN! It's so good, we can't wait for you to see it. ⁠In the meantime, enjoy these fresh images of our last release.⁠ _________________________⁠ #blancaflightsuit #closetcorepatterns #sewist #maker #diystyle #indiesewing #sewistsofinstagram #sewsewsew #sewinglife #diywardrobe #isew #sewallthethings #diy #sewingaddict #sewinglove #sewingpatterns #handmadewardrobe #makersgonnamake #sewcute #makersmovement #isew #memade #seamstress #sewingfun #createeveryday #fortheloveofsewing #modernsewist #selfsewn #sewunique
