The One with the Dawn Jeans

May 1, 2020 ~ Mini Maedel ~ Leave a comment

Hi everyone,

How you all holding up? Is the crazy over yet?

I’ve had a weird relationship with sewing during this time; fits and starts of creativity. Luckily with one of my “I need to make something” bouts I decided to finally sit down and make the Megan Nielsen Dawn Jeans I cut out in November! (yikes!).

The One with The Solution

February 6, 2020 ~ Mini Maedel ~ 1 Comment

Hello Hello,

If you’ve read any of my previous posts you’ll know I’ve long struggled with bodice fitting. Well, early on in January my sewjo returned with the FIRE and I used that drive to work on those issues, and with some help, I THINK it’s been resolved!  Go on, have a read “The One with The Solution” →

Not much dressmaking going on over here (what’s Not much dressmaking going on over here (what’s the point when you don’t go anywhere?! 😫) but I did finish this Tokyo cross-stitch I started an embarrassingly long time ago 🤭

Here’s hoping I can go back to the real one sometime soon!

My niece Nell turnt 7 a weeks ago. She LOVES dinos My niece Nell turnt 7 a weeks ago. She LOVES dinosaurs but she also loves dresses and apparently those two things don’t go together in RTW world so I decided to make her one!

Pattern is the #kauridress by @belowthekowhai and the fabric is a remnant I found online (can’t remember where or what the fabric is called - sorry guys!). 

Originally I wanted the whole dress Dino fabric but I didn’t have enough and couldn’t find it anywhere! @madebyamanda.i and @victorystitching both suggested using a contrasting fabric for the bodice and I think it turned out even better because of that!

Not to depress anyone but in all honesty, not bein Not to depress anyone but in all honesty, not being able to travel is taking is toll on me (I live on a different continent to my family,) leaving me with no real desire to do anything except curl up with a cup of coffee and my new journal or a good book and escape that way - so when there was a little flare of sew-jo a new pair of pyjamas seemed the perfect idea and these are definitely giving me something to smile about.

These are of course the @closetcorepatterns #carolynpajamas. The fabric is a @cottonandsteel lawn called Metropolis that I’ve had in my stash for far too long. 

Can you spot the little bit of selvedge I purposely left? Their fabrics always have the best selvedge and I always try to include them. 

I did my usual #petitesewist mods - aka folding out length between the shoulders and the bust (message me if you want help/to know more about this).

Probably should’ve given myself a bit more room in the thigh but they’re definitely wearable. Oh and I left of the shirt pocket so I could show off the fabric more. 

I love how the piping makes it really pop!
