I have been sewing garments (consistently) for about two years now, and I am still in awe of the wide range of fabrics available to sew. I chose a jacquard linen because: 1) I love the name and 2) I have little-no experience working with this fabric type. I have also always wanted to add…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Mel and I’m 33. At the moment, I’m on maternity leave with my son, but before this, I was working as a pharmacist. When I’m not working or being a mum, you can find me at my sewing machine or enjoying some…
Next to blazers, blouses are my absolute favorite to wear. I enjoy making them the most. I especially love draping sleeves. I’m all about fit and balance when getting dressed. When I’m headed to my studio, I’m usually dressed like this. An oversized blouse, that is balanced with a fitted waist. In this case, I…
I’m Emily, a life-long creator, and romantic realist. I grew up a theater kid and spent my young adult years pursuing a career in opera. Based out of New York City after attending Manhattan School of Music, I bounced around the country directing and assistant-directing opera for regional opera houses. I now live in Portland,…
I’ve never been a big fan of summer: I cannot stand the heat, the humidity is unbearable, but most importantly, I can’t comfortably wear my favourite clothes for a few months of the year. Much to my great displeasure, one can’t really wear layers upon layers of wool in Turkish summers. I also have a…
With World Earth Day just behind us, we are being reminded to take a look at how we connect with our environment and how we in turn, connect to ourselves. The Earth element in 5 Element theory is associated with the Stomach, Spleen, the colour yellow, the vocal quality of ‘singing’, the smell of fragrant…
Tell us a bit about yourself and how you have become a costumer. As a kid, I always loved to dress up: Halloween, Renaissance festivals, cosplay…I went to NYC Comic-Con 8 years in a row and always was sketching historical clothing, but finally, my partner bought me a sewing machine for Christmas 2018 and that…
I was looking for a way to start this pattern review but the truth is, I will not beat around the bush and simply say: The AKIRA collection is a must-have in every handmade wardrobe! This pattern bundle includes a belted wrap top and a tie-front cardigan as well as an elasticized drawstring waist pant….
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. I’m currently a video editor, living and working in Cape Town. During my studies at film school, I was initially drawn to costume, but I decided not to pursue it as a career path and preferred to make garments as a hobby. I fell in…
I’ll be completely honest – my head is full and my heart is heavy. This whole situation right now is really challenging for me – covid, a breakup, starting work again (and being unhappy with it), moving to a new apartment and now a raging war close to my home. Getting up in the morning…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. I am a Kiwi-Sri Lankan living in Auckland, with my partner Alex. I am your average urbanite with a corporate 9-5 job who enjoys a good soy latte every morning. I have what most people would call an unhealthy love affair with running and spend most days…
A couple of months ago we mentioned our new sewing community group on Facebook. Have you met our wonderful Patterns Consultant Lauren Linen who runs the group? Have you had a chance to look around? Perhaps some of your pals and fellow seamstresses are already members of our steadily growing 1200 virtual sewing circle. The…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Netty and I’m a user experience designer based out of Seattle, WA. Despite its reputation for never-ending rain, I grew to love this city and the life I share with my friends, family, and my beloved cat, Beckett. The combination of working…
Billowy linen shirts are my favourite things to wear in the warmer months, I love how they seemingly float over my body without clinging to it, and I love how they look tucked into a pair of high waisted trousers or shorts. I fell in love with the sleeveless version of the CHARLIE blouse the…
