My A/W sewing plans

I’m excited to try out the latest release from Tilly and the Buttons – the Sonny Jacket! I already have the perfect cobalt blue needlecord fabric in my stash, which I bought at the Sew Sustainable Fair earlier this year. I may not have enough fabric for the dramatic prarie collar, but I am adding drama with these incredible rainbow buttons from Pigeon Wishes. I’d love to join in the #LongSleeves23 sewing challenge on Instagram but I think I’ll be cutting it close!

I have seen some absolutely stunning Shay Dresses over on Instagram so I had to get the pattern for myself! I picked up this gorgeous viscose twill remnant at the Sew Me Sunshine birthday party. I’m even more excited for this plan since I saw this fabric next to the needlecord I’ve earmarked for the Sonny jacket – the bright blue flowers match perfectly and I’m excited to be able to wear them together. Love that an unintentional capsule wardrobe is taking shape!

This project might seem a bit rogue if you’re familliar with my usual style! I play D&D online with my friends and we are planning an in-person meet up later this year. We’ve been invited to dress as our characters, so when I saw this black lace at Rainbow Fabrics at the Knitting and Stitching show I thought it could work perfectly for the witchy vibes of my character. I’m planning to self-draft based on this inspo photo – wish me luck!

I’ve had this fabric in my stash for a long time. In fact, I shared it as part of a reel I made about still loving your older fabrics – which is the most sucessful piece of content on our account! I had so many comments from the lovely sewing community about this fabric, so I’m feeling motivated to get it sewn up finally! I got these buttons from Ethel and Joan at the Knitting and Stitching Show in London and I think they will be perfect for bringing out the greeny tones in the flowers.
