hessiebell: My first make of 2019! And it's on my #makenine2019 list! . It's the @sewoveritlondon #heatherdress in a ponte from @girlcharlee I've had in my stash for almost three years (!). I cut a straight size 18 with no modifications. . Overall, I like it a bunch.
hessiebell: She's baaaaack! With a new needle plate, lower blade and the loopers put back in sync. But, now I'm afraid to use it lest I break it again. 😥 #sewing #imakemyclothes #isewmyownclothes #ilovesewing #isew #sewist #handmadewardrobe #mem

hessiebell: Feeling cute (after a long time not) in my elastic-back, slash-pocket hacked @helens__closet #winslowculottes (in @blackbirdfabrics #tenceldenim) I dreamt about wearing last night. I haven't sewn anything in far too long (repairs, alterations and things f
hessiebell: Long cardigans are like office approved capes. And I feel like a freaking superhero in this one! I wish the insides were finished more neatly, but everything else about my #blackwoodcardigan is amazeballs. I cut a straight XL in view A and the only change

hessiebell: Helpful. I'm finally getting around to making a #blackwoodcardigan from @helens__closet! I'm really glad I did some test samples first because my serger was just NOT having a good time with this rib sweater knit from @blackbirdfabrics. This is just reinfo

hessiebell: This is the first thing to have come off my sewing machine in almost two months. I can't go that long without making something again. It was terrible. Luckily, this #yorkpinafore is not terrible at all! Made from some random piece of $3 fabric from Value

hessiebell: Fresh off the Singer: A very ladybug #yorkpinafore! In a knit (because I'm crazy like that)! This is made with a nylon spandex from my stash. When I received this fabric from @girlcharlee I was kinda mad because it was thick and felt plasticy and nothing

hessiebell: #MMMay18 item #27: This is last my Me Made May post AND my last Me Made item of clothing. A polka dotty Barbara dress which needed some quick alterations to be wearable today. I love the fabric, but this dress still has some issues yet to be resolved to b

hessiebell: #MMMay18 items #23, #24 & #25: My Ikea curtains @tillybuttons #cleopinafore, stripey Pineapple top & @helens__closet #averyleggings. I need to put some darts in the back waist of the pinafore because the way it fits now makes me hate it and I shouldn't be
hessiebell: #MMMay18 item #22: Yippee! My favourite @grainlinestudio #lindensweatshirt is finally out of the repair pile and back in wearable rotation! It took me a long time finally get the neck binding done without (too many) puckers and rippling. Three tries, to b
hessiebell: #MMMay18 item #20: This the @sewaholic #hollyburnskirt I made almost three years ago at a class @spoolofthread. And I've never worn it outside the house. Until today! This was one of my needs-to-be altered items. Turns out it didn't; but, I'm still counti

hessiebell: #MMMay18 item #18: My @wardrobebyme01 #astadress. I picked the wrong size and my fix for a too long bodice makes this dress feel really girlish to me and therefore I don't wear it nearly as often as I'd like to because I heart the fabric a lot. #sewing #i
hessiebell: #MMMay18 item #17: My first repeat of the month, my newest pair of #winslowculottes. I really have to get on the repairs/alterations I pledged to finish this month. There's only a week left! #sewing #imakemyclothes #isewmyownclothes #ilovesewing #isew #h
hessiebell: #MMMay18 items #15 & #16: Today, I'm wearing my @grainlinestudio #farrowdress and second pair @helens__closet #averyleggings (which don't stay up because I cut the elastic too long and I really don't want to unpick the whole waistband to fix them) to take

hessiebell: #MMMay18 items #12 & #13: First, my @aprilarhodes #stapledress in some random quilting cotton bought at Fabricland. I didn't notice the flaw in it until I'd cut out the pieces and was sewing it together. Luckily it's lost in the print, even though it's ri
