#sewtogetherforsummer 2017 – it’s the Summer of the Shirtdress!

Your Blogger : Sew Sarah Smith

Pleased to meet you!

Hi, I’m Sarah…thanks for stopping by. Here I aim to document my sewing journey; the greats, the just wearable and – lets be real – the absolute fails; sharing whatever I learn along the way here, with you.

You can find out more about me by selecting About Me/Contact Me from the main menu or choosing ‘All Sewn Up’ from the Categories menu.

Sporting my #AshtonTop - which was totally out of my comfort zone in terms of its boxy shape - I chose to make the shorter length as I only had a scrap of this fab #robertkauffmanfabrics chambray left - I'd go for the longer view next time to balance my top heavy proprtions 😁 This was made in the earlier stages of testing and the pattern has been tweaked somewhat since but as with all Helen's patterns the finishing and instructions are 👌 On another note I've grown my hair out since this pic was taken and now I'm thinking 💇🏼‍♀️I should maybe lop it all off again!!?? Mrs Indecisive that's me! 😅 Pattern by @helens__closet Fabric from @minervacrafts . . . #helenscloset #helensclosetpatterns #sewinglove #isewclothes #sewersofinstagram #sewingismysuperpower #homesewing #sewersgonnasew #handmadewardrobe #sewcialists #instasewing #handmadeclothing #isewmyownclothes

There are a couple of new wardrobe staple patterns coming our way this week ... including this sneak-peak which I pattern tested a while back - it was the first time I'd finished a garment with an all-in-one facing - and I love it! . . . #patterntesting #indiepattern #indiesewing #sewingismytherapy #seamfinish #instasewing #sewallthethings #ilovesewing #ilovetosew #sewingismysuperpower #sewsewsew #sewyourown #sewityourself

I'm not sewing I'm knitting! And I'm not in the least embarrassed to tell you how many times I've started and ripped out knitting this sock (tbh I've lost count)... because I'm totally enjoying feeling incompetent and unskilled - the fun is in the learning as much as the doing isn't it?! And I AM learning! Slowly but surely! . . . #itsonlyyarn #imakemyclothes #makeclothes #handmadewardrobe #sewerswhoknit #learningnewskills #knittingsocks #sockknitting #sewingandknitting #makersgonnamake #createmakeshare #craftymom #craftylife #handmadecloset
