This is SO cute!

Everytime I wear an all black outfit, I want cheetos. But if I eat cheetos, I won't have an all black outfit anymore.

The struggles of the spooky life💀

She knows her voting record is public, right?

Very meh. It was my first time trying to pattern match on pants. I'm thinking about recutting the front pocket yoke 😅

Pray for me. I'm pattern matching plaid fabric today.

Apperantly, I'm just full of sewing hot takes, but like include plus size sewists.
Especially if part of your brand's selling point is size inclusivity.
Idk why this is hard.

So stoked that it went well for you!!

If you're sewing white fabric, wash your hands. And then wash them again😅

It's kinda odd seeing sewists/pattern designers/crafters using AI. Usually, the sewing & other crafting communities are quick to call out plagiarism.

But where's that same energy for other creative that are having their work stolen?

Also environmental impact?
I have lots of questions🤔

You should check out her patron. She posts 2 guides a month one is an old one (usually its one of the Etsy ones) and a new one (right now she's doing integrated corsetry). It's worth it IMO

Finished up my #schfrida skirt from Schultz apparel yesterday, just in time for some nice weather. It's made out of a medium weight black muslin from my stash.

These are dope!!

Wow, is this self drafted? It looks great!

A women with long dark hair in a braid. She is wear a white, short sleeve button up shirt, small silver necklace and black skirt. She hasn't seen sunlight in a million years, probably.

OK, I'm a bit late, but I finished my #olleahblouse by @ora-lin.bsky.social for #MarchThroughYourStash. This pattern was part of a sew 'n show and this linen has been in my stash for ages. It was the perfect combo & I'm stoked with how it turned out.

Your color combos are always so great!

Holy wow 🤩🤩

A lady wearing a white linen short sleeve top, a long sleeve black shirt underneath and black balloon pants. She has big AF glasses and dark hair in a bun on her head.

Just a bit of hand sewing and a whole mess of buttons and I'll be done with my #olleahblouse for the sew&show by @ora-lin.bsky.social. I think this top is going to be a winner for spring and summer weather.

Oh thank you! They'll definitely be going on the "pattern companies to check out" list 🤗

Most of the indie patterns I've purchased are like that, few if any marks. I honestly thought it was the norm.

I try to research before any purchases, but rarely find mentions of markings. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Seriously, thank you so much!

Oh thank you for this list! I've paused buying indie patterns partially because the ones I did buy don't have them. It's hard to find this info out there, so this is really helpful

Yess! 100% and the actually useful ones like bust and waist. Back length from base of the neck as the ONLY measurement isn't helpful

Legitimate question:

Why do indie patterns not include refrence points on patterns like bust apex and crotch line? Big 4 do it and it makes pattern fitting exponentially easier.

Is there a reason idk about?
(Also idk if these are even called reference points)

Daaang!

i am the horror and i will be persisting

Just throwin' this out there but is the needle in the correct way?

Thank you 🤗

Oh this is good info to have, thank you! I'm taking the motor apart this weekend in hopes of trying to fix it, but if it's toast, I will definitely check them out

Both of these look great!

And now I have to go find this Buffy shirt 😅
