- I recently finished the #SnowTop by Jules Smit. Made of a vintage linen from Maker's Resale that I dyed. Feels like a good transitional piece for summer/fall. Details on Threadloop: threadloop.app/members/fabr... #GarmentSewing #Sewsky
- Finished the #FibreMoodKristy. The V is a little deep for me, and I'm considering dyeing it, but loved making it. Might be fun in a higher wale corduroy. Full details on Threadloop: threadloop.app/members/fabr... #GarmentSewing #UpcycleSewing #UpcycleFashion #Sewsky
- My daughter bought me this lovely leather clutch from an antique shop for my birthday. I gave it a quick wash with saddle soap and applied a leather conditioner, and wow is it transformed.
- Two current WIPs! Left is the #FibreMoodKristy, right is my first go of a pattern test of the Small Museum Frankie jacket. #GarmentSewing #Sewsky
- Pretty excited about all of the fabric I got for $7 today at an estate sale.
- Last year I made a queen size quilt top as part of a sewalong. A year later I'm finally getting around to quilting it, which is difficult on a home sewing machine. I think I'm just going to have to do a few lines at a time and accept the imperfections so I can finish. #Sewsky #FlowerChecksQAL
- New #PomonaPants (@annaallenclothing.bsky.social) made from a thrifted, overdyed tablecloth. Paired with #DemeterTop I made from a thrifted cotton gauze dress. Details on mods on Threadloop: threadloop.app/members/fabr... #SewskyFallChallenge #GarmentSewing #Sewsky #UpcycleSewing
- Pleased with how this thrifted textile came out after overdyeing. I've had it in my stash for awhile, but the green and white it was before felt very St. Patrick's Day. This fabric is becoming #PomonaPants. #GarmentSewing #UpcycleSewing
- I've finally finished the #CrosstownCrescentBag. Super easy, satisfying sew. Also featuring #DemeterTop. More details on Threadloop: threadloop.app/projects/18 #GarmentSewing #SewskyFallChallenge #UpcycleSewing #UpcycleFashion
- The body of my #CrosstownCrescentBag is done--now I just have to wait for my webbing to arrive. #GarmentSewing #UpcycleFashion #SewskyFallChallenge
- Happy lazy #Caturday, Bluesky.
- I've not had much time or inertia for sewing lately, but here's a progress shot of my #CrosstownCrescentBag I'm making from the scraps from shortening my quilt coat into a blazer. Lining is a thrifted duvet. #GarmentSewing #SewskyFallChallenge
- Where are we buying 100% cotton (or wool) batting, now that JoAnn's is gone. My Michael's only has poly/cotton blend. #garmentsewing
- No Amazon, Walmart, or Hobby Lobby, please. 😊

- I made this blanket coat from Small Museum last year and I don't wear it (full length), because it just kind of looks like a robe to me. But I pulled it out today and am thinking of cropping it into a long blazer. Is this better? Obviously need to move the pockets. #garmentsewing #sewsky
- Here is the full length
- #GarmentSewing folks, what jacket patterns do you like that are not really oversized? I like the styles of #swsrue and the #florajacket, but I can't size down for a closer fit because I'm already in the smallest drafted size.
- The category is fall sewing! Jackets, pants, a cute bag, a cozy quilt, or whatever strikes your fancy. Use the hashtag #sewskyfallchallenge .. #garmentsewing #sewsky #sewingsky
