My 1034D came threaded, but it was like 20 years ago. Given that the threads match the paths and are not cones, I imagine it still comes this way.

There are no clothing machines.

All garments are handmade.

ALL of them.

There is no T-shirt machine. Every $5 shirt I’ve ever purchased was sewn together by a human being who is an expert sewist.

Just thought I’d mention that before tomorrow.

Beautiful! So excited for this one.

Thank you!

I recently finished the #SnowTop by Jules Smit. Made of a vintage linen from Maker's Resale that I dyed. Feels like a good transitional piece for summer/fall.

You probably won't be good at fitting pants right away if I'm being honest. Pants are hard and there's definitely a learning curve, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.

Finished the #FibreMoodKristy. The V is a little deep for me, and I'm considering dyeing it, but loved making it. Might be fun in a higher wale corduroy.

My daughter bought me this lovely leather clutch from an antique shop for my birthday. I gave it a quick wash with saddle soap and applied a leather conditioner, and wow is it transformed.

Stunning!

Cute! I was just looking at this pattern today.

Cute! I love it in red.

I never find just fabric when thrifting. I do find tablecloths and curtains to repurpose though. But yeah, our thrift shops have gotten pricey too.

Pretty excited about all of the fabric I got for $7 today at an estate sale.

Last year I made a queen size quilt top as part of a sewalong. A year later I'm finally getting around to quilting it, which is difficult on a home sewing machine.

I think I'm just going to have to do a few lines at a time and accept the imperfections so I can finish.

New #PomonaPants (@annaallenclothing.bsky.social) made from a thrifted, overdyed tablecloth. Paired with #DemeterTop I made from a thrifted cotton gauze dress.

It's a classic!

Green and blue checked cotton with green and blue flowers

Pleased with how this thrifted textile came out after overdyeing. I've had it in my stash for awhile, but the green and white it was before felt very St. Patrick's Day. This fabric is becoming #PomonaPants.

All of those colors you separated out work, in my opinion. They just give different vibes, so it really depends what you're going for.

These look dreamy. 🥹

We've been back for a month, so also weird here.

I'm obsessed with this. 😍
