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

⁠ The super chic @weboughtamanor had this to say ⁠ The super chic @weboughtamanor had this to say about her perfect burnt orange Pietra shorts (along with a great fit tip): ⁠ ⁠ "I like these shorts for several reasons: 1) they have gigantic pockets, 2) they have a flat-front and elasticated back for maximum comfortable polish, 3) their high waist is very flattering *and* doesn't require re-adjusting throughout the day, and 4) they have a slightly dropped crotch that helps to prevent them from riding up when I walk around. ⁠ ⁠ My only adjustment was to add 2 inches to the back crotch curve near the inner leg -- this is my standard adjustment for "deep" bodies. (See my story highlights for how this simple adjustment fixes about 6 different fitting problems.)" ⁠ ⁠ (Pietra pants and shorts pattern in the shop!)⁠ _________________________⁠ #pietrashorts #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
