Finished the Demeter stays by De la Fère Couture today!

An actually quick make that turned out super cute and works well with the blouse I finished last month. 😌 First corset I've ever made, and also first time I've inserted eyelets on a garment!

I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the instructions for this, but as it was a free pattern I'm not going to complain too much.

This was supposed to be a trial piece but I ended up liking it so much that I opted to not make another. It's not like I'll have a ton of occasions to wear it anyway.

Our newest "We Sew" episode is here! 🎉

We each sewed an eyelet garment, and now we’re going to tell each other about it for the first time! We discuss our fabric choices, pattern choices, sewing experiences, and lots more.⁠

Have you ever sewed with eyelet? Tell us about it in the comments!⁠

Blue bells shawl finished.

The last row is done in single crochet, leaving me with only a few m of yarn from a total of 1,250 m. Length is about my wingspan (1.6 m), width is 55 cm. Perfect for draping on a cool evening.

Free version of the pattern richtexturescrochet.com/blue-b - I skipped the picot edge.

Colors are a bit off - this is the yarn in the shop minimasche.de/products/bobbelj

Do you ever feel this way? 🪡

In this episode, we chat about a really interesting email we got from a listener who doesn’t enjoy the sewing process. We talk about sewing for practical reasons versus sewing for the process, how to make the sewing process more enjoyable, and how to decide whether sewing is worth it. Plus, we have some fun voicemails from listeners to start it all off!⁠

This episode is all about a lesser-known fiber: hemp! ⁠

It’s super environmentally friendly, breathable, antibacterial, and has great body and texture. We talk a bit about hemp’s long history, how it goes from plant to fabric, and what to sew with it. Plus, we answer a listener question about constructing woven garments with a serger and we share listeners' sewing machine names!⁠

Have you ever sewn with hemp?⁠

This episode is like a mini sewing challenge! ⁠

We each sewed a skort and we discuss it for the first time on the pod. We chat about the patterns and fabrics we chose for our skorts, our experiences sewing them up, and how we wear them!⁠

What do you think of skorts? Tell us in the comments!⁠

Christine Millar (aka Sewstine) is a machine embroidery wizard! 🪄

In this week's episode, we ask her all of our burning machine embroidery questions. How does she design her own embroidery files? How long do the embroideries take? What stabilizer does she use? Does she have to babysit the machine the whole time? She answers them all, plus tells us about costuming events, her fave features of historical costumes, and her path to historical costuming.⁠

Have you ever done machine embroidery?⁠

In this week's episode, we interview Christine Millar, aka Sewstine! She talks to us about her stunning historical costumes, from drafting the patterns to designing and machine embroidering the sumptuous fabrics. ⁠

Wearing Ease vs. Design Ease 📏

Ease is the extra width and length that pattern designers add into their pattern pieces. Wearing ease is the minimum ease that you add so that people can move around in their clothes. Design ease is added just for the look of it! For example, in Helen's most recent design, the #FalconerPants, there is minimum wearing ease from the waist to the hips - then there is design ease added to the legs to create the barrel shape! ⁠

To learn more about ease and how you can make it work for you, listen to this week's episode!⁠

Helen learned to sew on this Singer Featherweight - an antique machine that is coveted by many collectors for its simplicity, lightweightness, and even stitching. The only stitch that it does is a straight stitch, but it does it really well! Plus, it's friendly for user repairs and lasts for many years (this pic was taken recently - Helen's mom still has it!). Nowadays, Helen now enjoys a much higher-tech Pfaff Expression 710. Caroline has the same machine, but she has some notes... 👀

Listen to this week's episode, number 277: Sewing Machine Chat, to hear why Caroline prefers her Bernina! ⁠

Outside in - inside out.

I've now finished the edges with attached I cord - the red yarn is a bit finer than the one I've done the cardigan with, a leftover from another project. Because it's finer I could attach it to each row / stitch without flaring

The ends are hanging all on one side for the moment, but I'm trying to weave them invisible so it can be worn from both sides because I still don't have a clear favorite

Needing a palate cleanser after today. So I am thinking about making clothes. I finished a beautiful skirt recently, and I'm almost done with a pinafore. I have a list of things I want to make for my family to avoid buying new stuff/contributing to capitalism. I sewed underwear for my child out of scrap fabric. I am planning to sew a Bavarian Dirndl for international festival in two weeks 😬 And planning more skirts, tops, and dresses for me!

Many years ago, I was gifted a bag of bright wool, clearly quite "expensive" stuff. I was too intimidated to use it, but also too thrifty to give it away, so it languished. Someday, it will be a sweater! I took the leap during 2020 lockdown, following a very basic yoke pattern and making the colorwork up as I went.

I don't get to wear this sweater very often, because it's 100% wool, VERY warm, quite scratchy. But I adore it.

Cool hashtag - #ShowMeYourKnits with lace as the theme (at least that's what I understood). @LaVisch

This is a project from long ago, I was the project that started my journey into knitting garments from really, really fine yarns. In this case 100% silk with close to 600 m / 100 g from colour Mart. Knit with 4.0 mm needles.

I still have and wear it. And a lot of people don't believe it's handmade.
