Christine Makes and Wears

Ugh I cannot deal with crap. Like whyyyyyyyy????

Cut 👏the👏good👏stuff!

Do it!!

STOP!!!! This is way too cute to even exist

This is so cool! I am 100% gonna make this… for myself hehe
I have a corduroy I wanna use for it. Maybe I’ll cut this weekend

Omg so cute!!! I think I may end up with that. Feels like the most customizable?

I’d love to be added and to help build the community here!

That makes sense! Not sure how the long ones are but mine are a raw hem and they look really cool with the loose threads like hanging between my ankle and sock (though that description makes it sound weird Hahaa)

Everything about this photo is perfect. The fabrics 🤌🤌🤌
I need those stripes

Okay this is hilarious, my way high jeans are SO short on me hahaa I'm 5'9, not sure how tall you are. They literally are higher than my ankle bone. Having said that, I love them like that so support you hemming these

So I'm new also. I am.... not sure 😅 I just keep checking the #sewskychallenge2025

The Ilford is def the first that always comes up! I’m gonna look at how some people made theirs

Yeah I feel like the Ilford is the first that always comes up. I have always wanted to do a daughter Judy…

I’m thinking of making that one for myself 👀👀👀
I’ve never made one of her patterns but think she’s the cutest on her podcast

Oooh I literally always forget they have patterns!! I bet he’d be into those

Anyone have a good chore coat pattern they love? I want to make my husband one. I’m talking a goooood one. I wanna make him something special

I’m a big fan of empty RX bottles I have sitting on my desk that not only should be thrown out but also provide absolutely zero weight

🤯

Okay okay, how cute would little sewn up tuna and bean cans be as pattern weights?

Grainline Pattern Weights Make your own pattern weights with our downloadable pattern! Use them to weight your pattern when tracing it off onto your fabric, or use them if you're into tracing your patterns off rather than cutt...

Okay but seriously need to make the @grainlinestudio.bsky.social pattern weights asap. Been using perfume bottles for way too long...

I made a @threadloop.bsky.social list of some #sewskychallenge2025 eligible patterns that have been in my to-make list or have caught my. I'd love to make the list bigger, so tag patterns you are thinking of making directly in the list.

Demure is out 🙅‍♀️
It’s 2025 and we’re going for chaos ✊

I wish I had one 😭😭😭 ten cars pulled over trying to wrangle them. We’re pretty sure they were local though and eventually ran back towards the houses. We called the cops to report it. 🤞🤞🤞

I believe in you!!

I don’t have an official pic of it yet, but here’s me wearing my #JuniperDress by @tiana-herring.bsky.social. I finished just in time to kick off February. I was trying to catch two dogs with collars running down the NJ parkway 😂😂

Hi I’m Christine! I started sewing last year after losing my job. I absolutely fell in love with it. It’s been so inspiring to meet others who have been changed by the hobby and I love learning with each new project. I just finished a Juniper dress and it came out sooooo cute 💚💚💚

Really cool list of anti-fast fashion accounts. Thanks for the add @nachoanns.bsky.social, who was one of my favorite accounts to follow on IG.

Lolololol I’m dead

It was a light wash denim. I cannot for the life of me remember where I got it! But it was nice and added a little bit of structure. It was so easy to sew up!

Agreed! I’m definitely looking for something that is less of a lift than instagram. Sooo much effort into everything that gets posted 🙄
