Stitch and bitch thread #12. We’re in stitches!

[NutellaEllaElla]

Welcome and welcome back oldies and newbies!

Whatcha doin? What are your plans? I need some inspo. It's been a long time since i've approached my machine for various reasons.My favourite ever make has been a stretch dress, i'd wear it all the time if I could. I live in fear of the day I try to go to Barry's fabrics and it's gone. The Birmingham fabric scene is being decimated. What'll I do?!

My sewing day was a non starter. I rummaged through the stash and sorted a few fabrics out that need to be used but failed to match them to patterns. Nothing in my pattern stash jumped out at me either. I managed to get through me made May without jumping on any of the offers. I’ve not been inspired by new pattern releases for ages now. I’m off on holiday again next week and I’ve got plenty of suitable clothes for that so maybe I’ll feel more inspired when I get back.

I’m still to make a final pair of jeans from the pattern trial I did earlier this year. The best fit by a long way was the Sinclair Metro closely followed by Winter Wear Designs Real Deal Jeans so I’m going to try to mash them together a bit. I still need to work on the back rise as my nonexistent arse means they come up way too high. Then I end up with the yoke proportions looking weird. I also want to make a proper buttoned shirt for DH just to prove I can do it 😆

I’m still trying to find stuff in my new sewing room. I’ve searched and searched and cannot find the original or traced versions of the Sinclair Harper Cardigan and that is something I really want to sew again. I guess I’ll get it printed again and then it will turn up.
