Homemade clothes are meant to last ♥️ they’re probably meant to last even longer than most RTW clothes these days 😅

Sewing patterns used for this look:

Float On Top - I left the hem band off for this version! It makes it the perfect cropped length for these pants. Very simple hack, just hem normally with a fold & fold.

Wide You Do That Trousers - this is View D of this pattern, the one with a waistband facing and the asymmetrical welt pockets. I love this pair! Made in white denim with just a tiny bit of stretch. I did decorative topstitching in gold to make the details pop 👌

Zip-It Reusable Shopper - this tote zips down into a little pouch so you can always have a shopping bag with you! This pattern is currently available via my Substack subscription and you get a video workshop to go with it as well.

Are you in NYC and want to learn to sew? I’m teaching a workshop starting next Monday evening .ec.nyc for 3 weeks where you will learn to make this top!

It’s going to be so much fun! It’s a small, intimate setting where you get to hang out with likeminded people and learn from two industry professionals.

And for those of you not in NYC - this is my Float On Top sewing pattern, available as a PDF or paper pattern. The instructions include all of these seam finishing techniques.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Weird sewing notion I can’t live without: the toothpick

I genuinely use it every time I sew on a button that requires a bit of elevation. It’s the perfect spacer!

If you’ve never sewn on a button with a thread shank, it’s really not that hard and I find it pretty fun to do! This is a quick how to video for how I like to create a thread shank.

I’m sewing the finishing touches on to the Pleats And Thank You Jumpsuit I made for my recent photoshoot. It’s always fun to revisit old patterns! It’s honestly a much quicker sew than I remembered.

Lots of wonderful sewing techniques are included in the instructions, like sewing a thread shank. Plus, I have a handful of YouTube tutorials for this pattern.

All of my patterns aim to teach new and useful techniques for your sewing practice. Check them all out on my website via the link in my bio ♥️
