Love adding lanes to the outside of my clothes!! It’s just fun!! I’m at our stores quilting retreat, but I’m sewing clothes, not making quilts…. #katmlabels #labelsareforclothes #labelfun #imakemyownclothes #memademay #toomuchfun #sewingfriendsarethebest

My Pants from Burda pattern 6032 and a Sutton top from @truebias. Major pattern adjustments on pants to fit me. I cannot wear jumpsuits (bathroom urgency issues) so this is my faux jumpsuit! 😜. #burdapantspattern #burdapants #patternalteringforthewin #learninglotsandlaughing #moretolearn #grandsonlove #isewmyownclothes #memade #thisiswhyisew #lovingthechallenge

Alterations on a pair of summer pants. This is just what I did on the back piece! It took three muslins to get it right, but I got it! Now I just about have the real pair made…. #pantalterations #pantsalteration #sewingpants #makingitfit #thisiswhyisewclothes #sotheyfit

May Seasonal Vignette! Yes this will be a BOM at our store @quiltingfromtheheart this fall! #seasonalvignette #woolfeltapplique #myneicemadethesign #BOM #BOMwillhaveawoolbackground #ilovewhatido #stitchtherapy

Another me made! Pattern is Fringe dress from @chalkandnotch fabric is a linen from @marshallfabrics buttons are from our store @quiltingfromtheheart So comfortable! Alterations were, done again for wonky breasts (mastectomy:reconstruction), one lower shoulder and darts were moved as well. So excited I’m getting things to fit. I think I could have made a size smaller, but my daughter @kathleenquilts and my friend Val both disagree… #fringedresspattern #memade #isewmyownclothes #slowfashion #ilovetosew

Another me made! Working hard on fit. Breast cancer, mastectomy, breast reconstruction, and age have made my body not so standard. On this one I did a sloped shoulder adjustment on one side only, a breathe bust adjustment on one side only and a small breast adjustment on the other, gaping neck adjustment and added fullness in the hips. My muslin went from fitting bit at all to sitting properly! The pattern is the Sutton Top by @truebias, fabric is a light weight crepe from $3/m clearance at @marshallfabrics #suttontop #memade #isewmyownclothes #pfaffradiantstitches #patternadjustments #clothesthatfit #lovetosew

Radiant Stitches!!!! Pfaff Icon radiant stitches on the neckline of a blouse I’m making! So easy to use! Stitch, it stops, pivot, repeat….. #pfaffradiantstitches #radiantstitches #necklineembroidery #seweasy #sewfun

Another Cottage Shirt! So comfortable! This gauzy fabric was a challenge to sew…. Pattern from @sewingworkshop fabric from @marshallfabrics buttons from @quiltingfromtheheart #cottageshirt #memade #memadewardrobe #pfafficon #ilovetosew #slowfashion

I’m on a mission to made pants that fit. I am so tired of ready made pants that do not fit or feel comfortable. So I made a pair of Sasha Trousers. I see another adjustment I should made, but I’m still very happy. They are comfortable!!!!! 😍. Pattern is #sashatrousers by @closetcorepatterns and fabric is a stretch pant weight from @marshallfabrics I added back pockets instead of the welt pockets, the stitching on them is ribbon stitches from my Pffaf Icon. Scroll to see pictures of my grandson trying to see my belt loops. He was quite worried that there was a hole in my pants !!! Oh oh…. #sashatrousers #closetcorepatterns #slowfashion #memade #memadewardrobe #pfaffribbonstitches ribbonstitches #ilovemypfafficon #grandsonantics

I made a “Paw Patrol Marshall” suit for my grandsons 3rd Birthday present! It was too fun! Changed a jacket I found in a clearance bin ($3) into a vest, adding yellow collar. Embroidery designs added to vest and helmet. Spots sewn onto a r shirt and added a tail. #3rdbirthday #sewingforgrandson #sewingforgrandchildren #funsewing #pawpatrolsewing #machineembroidery embroidery
