There are a lot of complaints on social media about the difficulty of Style Arc patterns. I held off buying one until I felt like sewing was my Superpower. I will be honest, the directions are in a tiny font, but at least there were some illustrations. I think you do need to have some sewing cred because they don’t tell you how to finish … Continue reading Style Arc Clare Pants
It took a lot of fitting to get these Seamwork Nolan pants just right. The style was cute enough that I struggled through, even though I had a lot of issues with the sewing pattern. I mean, I took a day to make a muslin, but only for one leg, and that just didn’t give me the full picture. I ended up taking an additional … Continue reading Seamwork Nolan Pants Pattern Review
I have never owned a jumpsuit before, but now I definitely want to have at least two! I sewed up the full length version of the Yari jumpsuit by True Bias in a size 18 which is the largest size. I was crossing my fingers that it would fit and it was perfect! It has jump rings to cinch in the waist or let it … Continue reading True Bias Yari Jumpsuit
These were so challenging y’all,! I had the sizing just right from the first pair I sewed but this time I wanted a zipper fly. I bought the zipper exapansion pack from True Bias. It was only six bucks! The fabric is this strange Jade twill from Nick of Time Textiles. $6.95/yard as of this posting. It has this sheen to it that I wasn’t … Continue reading Lander Pants in green twill
Whew! It’s been a week of sewing challenges for me. Many fails you’ll never see, and one I saved from my scrapped pile (see my Instagram for the Arenite Pants save). Today I want to share one of this weeks successes! Being a large framed 6 foot tall woman, I have always felt too conspicuous in overalls. So I never wear them. Ever. But this … Continue reading Sew House Seven Burnside Bibs Review
I first made these way back when I was new to sewing in 2015. I had to use the highest size which might have been xxl, not totally sure of that, but Rae recently came out with expanded sizing. I was sure I would need that, so she kindly sent me an updated PDF. See what happens when you just ask sometimes? Well, the pattern … Continue reading Made for Rae Luna Pants Pattern review
These were actually fun to sew up even though they were my first pair of culottes ever! The Tania Culottes by Megan Neilson comes in 3 different lengths which is great cause can you imagine trying to lengthen the half circles that the legs are? No way. The pattern directions were excellent. I don’t usually give that grade because I tend to be critical of … Continue reading Tania Culottes Review: Viscose Linen
This is not a new sewing pattern, but it is definitely a keeper. The True Bias Lander pant can be wide legged or long and bell bottomed, or tight and skinny legged….because it’s basically just a suggestion when it comes to the sizing. But do get it because if you have never sewn pants before (like I had never), this is a great one to … Continue reading True Bias Lander Pants review
