@hollie @sewing Another fan of #HelensCloset and #SewLiberated. I just ordered the new camp shirt pattern, Joanie top, from the latter. #EweFineFibers is printing. It will be delivered later in the week with a few other items. Excited!

Finished stitching this back yoke pattern piece for a button up shirt. I’ve never done this to a sewing piece before, it was fun (usually I save this style of stitching for mending).

I was just trying to sew a top (the Ashton from Helen's Closet) and got to the burrito method part of the facings and I just couldn't visualize what the instructions were telling me. I'm so incredibly grateful to YouTubers who make videos about techniques like this, it's always immediately clear once I see it in action.

In case anyone else ever needs it:

A million thanks to the indie #sewing pattern makers out there who print the pattern name at the top of their print shop pages. May whatever gods exist bless you. May your bobbins stay full, may your seam ripper stay sheathed, may your serger thread perfectly on the first try.

(Helen’s Closet I love you the most)

@zinn ’s cardigan is nearly finished!! I seamed the arms today. Still to do: graft underarms, sew on buttons, block. (Pattern: Ranger. Yarn: Wool of the Andes Superwash)

And now I’m casting on for my next project, a boxy cropped sleeveless cabled pullover in cranberry-colored bulky wool, to wear over my favorite boxy high-waisted “March” dress (pattern from #HelensCloset)

@EllenInEdmonton This is my first #HelensCloset pattern. Only gripe so far is the .pdf assembly wasn't as clear as some. Instructions look good though :)

I wish I had the spoons to tackle jeans fitting. This pattern looks like it might fit me with relatively few adjustments.. AND the pattern size chart comes with information about thigh circumference, something that other designers (eg cashmerette in their new dress pants) completely ignore.
