Tribute Month Sewing – Round Up #3!

Hello wonderful Sewcialists! My name is Jessica from Always A Crafty Lady and I’ll be your host for this post! You all really went beyond our expectations in participating numbers so this is the third round up post. I am impressed!!!

Silverluna88 has the distinction of starting another of our round ups, in fact she has 5 projects for this round up! Whew! Pretty epic.

First up is her Wembly Cardigan from Seamwork that was inspired by Amanda at I Sew A Lot as well as the Stitch Sisters.

Next is the Zadie Dress from Tilly and the Buttons. Gosh, I think this pattern is super cute. For this one Silver was inspired by Gabberdashery!

Zadie for the #sewingwithknits. I found encouragement and inspiration watching the video – @gabberdashery!

I think many members of the curvy sewing community have been happy to see the Cashmerette patterns arrive in the marketplace and I love how Silver used two different fabrics for her Turner Dress inspired by NaturalDane.

Last from Silver is this darling duo. The adult version is the Orla Dress pattern from French Navy while the child version is a Burda pattern. Both inspired by Lifting Pins and Needles.

Two dresses. Small and even smaller #orladress. 🤣 Thanks for the inspiration, Karina @liftingpinsandneedles. Mini pattern is from Burda 11/2016, 139 #mädchenkleid #burdastylegermany #tributemonthsewing #instasew #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #sewing #sew #ilovesewing #ilovetosew #sewinglove #sewingproject #sewingpattern #nähenmachtglücklich #sewingisfun

Denise tackle ice dying fabric for her stunning version of Butterick 6050 inspired by Bianca from Thanks, I Made Them. This dress looks just perfect for summer!

Doesn't Denise look amazing in her ice-dyed dress, inspired by the talented Bianca from @thanksimadethem ? Denise's post about her #tributemonthsewing project is up today on the Sewcialists blog, including her clever strategy for integrating strapless bra carriers into her dress! #linkinbio

Next is a double dose of fabulous sewing. Christy from Clever Tinker made this sophisticated dress from a vintage pattern, Style 2929 inspired by Jolies Bobines. It’s basically everything I’ve been looking for in a dress, so I’m jealous of her find!

Becky from Sew Adagio has been posting about sewing and motherhood (Go Becky!) and finished the Jalie Vanessa pants inspired by our very own Gillian. I’m so happy to see she made herself a nice pair of work pants to fit her current body!

I've followed @clever_tinker and @sunnyb64 for years, so it was really fun to see them take part in #tributemonthsewing ! @clever_tinker was inspired to sew with green by @joliesbobines, and @sunnyb64 made pants with the same fabric and pattern as @gilliancrafts ! 😊😄😍

What a pretty romantic dress from Laura at Cotton Reel Studio! She made two versions of Sew Over It’s Eve Dress and was inspired by another Bianca, but this time from Sleepless in Bavaria.

But wait, there are even MORE #tributemonthsewing projects going on! @cottonreelstudio made two beautiful 👗👗inspired by @sleepless_in_bavaria ! 💖

Another Sewcialist who found Gillian inspirational is Linda from acraftyscrivener! This bold plaid is really fun and the dress looks perfectly suited to Linda’s daughter.

Way back in the winter @gilliancrafts blogged a 'lumber Jane' knit dress which inspired my daughter to finally decide what pattern she wanted her fabric made up into, and it has been a beloved dress since! #tributemonthsewing #sewcialists #handmadewardrobe #isewmyownclothes #girlcharleefabrics

Chris made this super sleek Charlie Caftan and I must say her inset panel looks very nicely sewn! I also love the fabric choice and how nicely is compliments the inspiration dress from Did You Make That?

View this post on Instagram

Took my #tributemonthsewing out to a party last night! Ever since I saw @didyoumakethat 's #charliecaftan by #closetcasefiles I knew I wanted one just like it! I almost made mine in blue. I love Karen's style and her blog constantly makes me smile.

Next is my own tribute project! I ended up altering a vintage skirt as tribute to the master of alterations, Fit For a Queen!

View this post on Instagram

Finished my @sewcialists #tributemonthsewing project by resizing this vintage hand painted silk skirt. Inspired by the famous (but not on IG) Mrs Mole and her ability to alter garments owned by sometimes delusional and overly optimist clients.

Diane from Distaff made this very fabulous pair of pants as tribute to the popular blogger Lladybird. I am super impressed!!!

Claire from Belle Citadel made the kitty-rific Style Arc Kylie top as tribute to Lara from Thornberry. Meow!

After a metre/yard mix up, I *just* managed to eke this Style Arc Kylie top out of a lovely feline fabric as my effort for #tributemonthsewing with the #sewcialists. My tribute is to @thornberrylara who made an inspiring stripey version that I had on my radar for months. Lots more pics and tribute details on the blog (link in profile) @sewcialists @stylearc #kylietop #handmadewardrobe #isewmyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #diyfashion #sewingblogger

Ailycia made a chic maxi skirt and did some fabulous print mixing in honor of Marcy from Oonaballoona. Also check out that pattern matching!

Here is my @sewcialists #tributemonthsewing submission! Although I've never spoken with her, @marcyharriell 's thoughtful posts and bright and cheerful wardrobe have inspired me for years! I had to make a maxi skirt and mix some prints in her honor. #sewcialists

Mini.Adventure managed to make 3 projects for for Tribute Month. First up is this cool and comfortable Scout Tee inspired by Helen at Just Sew Therapeutic.

View this post on Instagram

A quick @sewcialists #tributemonthsewing post while the girls and their new friends try to communicate in English, Spanish and French – the children range from 5 to 8 years old and are doing really well. Anyway back to the tribute – during #mmmay17 the lovely @justsewtherapeutic posted an embroidery anglaise #scouttee that has lingered in my brain so when thinking ahead to our holiday here in Spain I had to pay homage to her. She is a genius!! It is my new favourite top, so comfortable and cool in the 30+° degree heat. Gorgeous fabric is from @sewmesomething

Her other two projects are these adorable knit dresses from the Made It Patterns Spin Dress inspired by Emi at Just Add Fabric.

Another holiday post as part of @sewcialists #tributemonthsewing this time it is Pie and Pop in tribute to the lovely @e_shimokawa between the obligatory spinning they are squeezing in just a few other holiday activities that the @madeit_patterns #spindress is perfect for. Emi and her daughters' love for this pattern inspired all 3 of us. Pop is wearing the pink panda dress Pie made her for their birthday.

Caitlyn‘s chic peplum dress was on the Sewcialist’s blog and it is quite lovely. She combined two different Simplicity patterns in her tribute to Erica Bunker!

Look how pretty Caitlyn's project is on the @Sewcialists blog today! She was inspired by @ericabunker to take her time and get the fit and techniques just right! 👗💖#tributemonthsewing

Julie managed to source the same fabric in order to pay tribute to two of her favorite sewers. Super fun idea! Her inspirations were Elle at Sew Positivity and Saturday Night Stitch.

Hope I'm not too late to join in @sewcialists #tributemonthsewing ! So inspired by 2 very beautiful and creative sewers that I just had to shamelessly copy their amazing creations, thanks @sewpositivity and @saturdaynightstitch you are awesome!!!❤️❤️❤️ #sewcialists #imakemyownclothes #memadeeveryday #shamelesslycopied😜

Last for this round up, I wanted to do a special shout to our hostess with the mostess, Gillian! She completed 3 projects and some of them are really outside her usual comfort zone. Congratulations Gillian and thank you for hosting the return of the Sewcialists!

We had so many fabulous projects this month that we are going to need a FOURTH round-up to include them all! We’ll be back with the final one soon – then next week, you’ll get the chance to vote on our next theme month topic!
