Sewing tip for stitching super crisp corners 🤓 Watch til the end. Promise it will be a satisfying watch 😍 This was part of stitching the collar on my @fridaypatterncompany Donny shirt, in @merchantandmills fabric bought from @backstitchshop #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #sewingtips #donnyshirt #dressmaking #sewingreel #dressmaker #seamstress #sew #sewist #memade #imakemyclothes

ad | Dopamine dressing shopping spree at @grand_arcade ✨Come shopping with us!✨ We had the BEST day at Grand Arcade, Cambridge this week hunting for fun, colourful finds - and it did not disappoint.
 So many brilliant shops all in one place, a much-needed Diet Coke and @costacoffee stop to refuel - and we swapped the school run for cocktails and pizza at @everymancinema afterwards 
10/10 dopamine day out! 👌🏻 Which finds were your favourites? 👀✨ 📍 @grand_arcade — Cambridge CB2 3BJ

ad/pr 🌈🍁 I have stitched up this dream of a dress using one of the brand new fabrics from @fabricgodmother new collection called Time to Sparkle ✨ This one is called Bowie viscose crepe ⚡️ I adore the deep hues of rainbow colours in this fabric! It is the perfect way to do colour in Autumn/Winter! The pattern is the @cashmerette Roseclair wrap dress, shorter version. And it was a dream to make! It really didn’t take too long to sew, and the shape/style I find really flattering (especially around the 🍉🍉!). My next version I will probably shorten the bodice by an inch, and might size down too. Go check out the brand new fabric collection by @fabricgodmother now! There are lots of beauties perfect for your festive sewing! 🪡 Ad/pr ~ Fabric Godmother Ambassador post 🧵 Outfit details: Dress pattern - @cashmerette Roseclair (ad/pr) Fabric - @fabricgodmother (ad/pr) Shoes - @officeshoes Coat - @marksandspencerstyle Bag - @mulberryengland

🍓 A berry cute lil make for #sewfruity today! 🍓 This is the @tillybuttons Samara top pattern, stitched up in beautiful pink strawberries linen viscose from @fabricgodmother . Totally recommend this pattern for a quick-sew that will get a lot of wear - always love throwing mine on with jeans or shorts! 👌🏻 Looking forward to seeing more fruity makes today! I had hoped to stitch up a co-ord set for today but life is kicking my 🍑 rn 🫠 But I’ll save that for another day! Big thanks to @blossomsandwich for running this fun, fruity insta challenge! #memade #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewingsamara #sewfruity25 #sewistofinstagram #handmade #summerfashion
