  2. Heads up: this is going to be a very self-congratulatory post but I want to indulge myself a little bit here… Over the weekend, I hit one hundred thousand followers here on Instagram, which is absolutely WILD 🍾🍾🍾 I’m so immensely grateful for the community here in the yarn-y corner of the internet and I appreciate the support I receive more than words can say. I’ve made friendships with people all over the world through knitstagram and it fundamentally changed the trajectory of my life so, truly, words fail to express how I feel about this. I started this account in 2019 a few months after I started knitting when I realised the best way for me to improve as a knitter and to make crafting friends was to get involved here. At first, it was immensely cringeworthy and it took a long time to find my flow with content creation. I still remember waiting until my housemate had gone to work to try and take photos because I couldn’t stand the thought of her finding out about all this haha! I never ever ever imagined what this account would do for me. When I started knitting, I fully expected to follow an academic career path (which, in hindsight, seems as much of a pipe dream haha!) and I never could have predicted that I’d still be doing this now — let alone starting a business out of it! I try not to focus on numbers or stats because doing so tends to lead me down a path of comparison with others which ends in poor self esteem, which then impacts my creative process. But this is a big number and I want to take a moment to acknowledge it, because sometimes you’ve got to celebrate a win. So, yes, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking around and for supporting my work. I especially want to thank all of the lovely people who have test knitted for me over the years, the friends and community I’ve found here on Instagram, and above all @fancy_a_yarn for helping me so much with tech editing/being my second brain since 2022 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

  1. When @grainlinestudio released the #grainlineaustin a few weeks ago that side button band closure and cut away armholes just suckered me in. This dress has two versions - A: knee length A-line dress and B: gathered skirt with patch pockets -and is an advanced beginner pattern. It comes in two size ranges: 0-18 B cup and 14-32 D cup. I’ve sewn version B in size 4 which is the size recommended for my bust and very close to my waist/hip measurements and have used Ava Check linen (4.7oz/160gsm) from @merchantandmills . The pattern states that there is 9” of ease at the bust and is semi fitted - I don’t think that there is that much ease (for this size anyway) I think there is around 4” (which is just perfect). I did sew a quick muslin/toile of the bodice to check the fit and dart placement (it has armhole darts) - it took all of 10 mins - and found it to be spot on so made no adjustments. Contrary to the instructions I cut the back bodice, front and back skirt pieces on the fold after removing the seam allowances- I didn’t really want to have to match the check unnecessarily on those pieces. As expected the instructions from grainline are excellent. So much to love about this pattern- it’s super comfortable (without being too loose), love the buttons, deep hem, cut away arms, big pockets, nice neckline …. and if your scared about sewing 16 buttonholes then I can let you into a secret …. I can get this dress on/off without undoing any of them so you could skip the buttonholes (or most of them) and just secure the side seams by sewing the buttons on through both bands so they are non-functioning😉. I’m super happy with this dress and highly recommend the pattern. #grainlinepatterns #merchantandmills #merchantandmillsfabric #memadeeveryday #handmadewardrobe #isewmyownclothes #sustainablefashion #sustainableclothing #myhandmadewardrobe #janomemaker #janomemakes #janomeuk #sewover50 #sewingwithlinen #sewingdresses

  3. Back on my @makeninechallenge and here is my newly finished squidgy @grainlinestudio #tamarackjacket 🤗 and I’m super happy with it. The outer is @merchantandmills 185 linen (colour “Ginger”) and the lining @merchantandmills Indian cotton (Kingley red organic). The wadding/batting is a washable wool (Tuscany collection) from @ladysewandsewhenley . I used a @schmetzneedles 90/14 topstitch needle with @guetermann_creativ_uk extra strong thread to quilt it with sew-all thread in the bobbin. Snaps are @prym.consumer Anorak 15mm . I purchased the “Tamarack hood, collar & patch pockets” add on to make this version - you also need the original pattern (collarless) to make this - the add on makes this pattern very versatile. For sizing I blended between a size 4 at the bust and 2 at the waist/hips. A big thank you to @grainlinestudio for the absolutely amazing 15 part YouTube sewalong which takes you through every single step of making this jacket. I veered slightly from the instructions when it came to inserting the sleeves and set mine in rather than sewing flat. I bound all internal seams for a lovely neat finish and hand sewed down all of the bias binding edging. This is not a quick make, but a super satisfying one - I can definitely see myself making other versions. #grainlinestudios #grainlinetamarack #grainlinestudiopatterns #merchantandmills #merchantandmillsfabric #janomemakes #janomemaker #janomeuk #sewover50 #ladysewandsewhenley #memadeeveryday #memade #handmadewardobe #sustainablefashion #isewmyownclothes #quiltedjacket #sewingjacket #sewinglinen
