TNT Month Instagram round up: Nov 21- 27

 

Hi Sewcialists!

Welcome to the last weekly round-up of patterns for this quarter’s TNT theme. I’m Melissa from mahlicadesigns, (@mahlicadesigns) and it’s been so fun to gather together the variety of TNT projects that have been posted on Instagram this week under the hashtag #sewcialistsTNT.

If we missed you, it may be because you have a private account or we just accidentally missed it, so please leave a link to your IG picture or blog post in the comments!

@onepatternatatime is filling her closet with Mama Avas

View this post on Instagram

In an effort to put myself and my sewing out into the world, I'm working on getting more comfortable taking pictures of myself. So, first up is my lazy day outfit staple…leggings, long/loose tee, and one of hubby's old button downs. *Tee is a slighlty altered @madeformermaids #MamaAva made out of bamboo jersey from @fabricdotcom; all the rest is RTW* {And since this is Mama Ava number 5, of 7 😳, I would definitely consider this a #tntpattern 😉} __________________________________________ * * * #isewandquilt, #ineverknowwheretolook, #sewcialist, #sewist, #sewistsofinstagram, #sewcialiststnt

onepatternatatime‘s favorite is a Hey June pattern mash up.

Headed outside for today's #ootd/#tntpattern pics…where it's actually warmer than I was expecting. RTW jeans with my latest @heyjunehandmade patterns mash-up…the body of a #halifaxhoodie with the curved hem of the #laneraglan. Made with a super soft, rayon french terry from @califabrics. ______________________________________ * * * #isewandquilt, #sewist, #sewistsofinstagram, #sewcialist, #sewcialiststnt, #heyjunepatterns, #califabrics

sewoldfashioned has made all versions of her TNT, McCall’s 6964.

View this post on Instagram

It's tried'n'true month at the Sewcialists this November! As luck would have it, I recently finished another version of my first TNT pattern: McCall's 6964. This is my favourite t-shirt pattern ever and I have one with each of the three sleeve lengths. Next, I think I want to make myself a black one in a lightweight knit for Summer. Check out the #SewcialistsTNT tag on instagram for some more inspiration! #SewcialistsTNT #sewcialists #TNT #triedandtrue #tshirt #tshirtpattern #mccalls #mccalls6964

It doesn’t look like @thenestingcrane  is going to stop at 11 Agnes’

#bpsewvember My stack of #sewingagnes Tees. Clearly my color palette has a lot of grey, white and green 😂 This is definitely my biggest TNT pattern. Currently I have 6 long sleeves, 3 half sleeves, a short sleeve and a hacked off-the-shoulder tee. I think I'll be okay for #owop17 🙈#sewcialiststnt #sewcialisttnt #tntpattern #tillyandthebuttons #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #marinsews #kmpsews #sewcialists #agnestop #califabrics

A Cheyenne tie waist shirt dress in flannel makes for comfy car rides. After looking at this pic I think I should shorten it a bit. #cheyennetunic #sewcialiststnt

For aem2_, its all about the Swoon Cardigan.

I have blogged the most recent 4 of what I finally realized is my definitive TNT pattern: @swoonpatterns #scarfneckcardigan. This picture is a repost from sewphotohop (prompt: signature style). All but one of those cardigans is a Swoon. #sewcialiststnt Link in my bio.

riveroakssewing was won over by the City Park Tee. She’s made seven.

I always when I first started sewing only sewed a pattern once. The city park t-shirt by @heyjunehandmade has been a work horse pattern. I have made seven versions. #sewcialiststnt @sewcialists

Wowza! ekhandler has made the Plantain thirtytwo times.

View this post on Instagram

How many times can you make a pattern before you get bored of it? At least 32, apparently. This is the @deer_and_doe_patterns #plantaintee in a variety of forms: 3 classic Plantains, 5 slightly-modified Plantains, 8 heavily-modified Plantains, 2 Plantain tank tops, 11 Plantain cardigans, and 3 Plantain dresses!

vladivos uses the Moneta for so many differing looks.

It’s tried and true month over at the @sewcialists and for me it doesn’t get more #TNT than a #colettemoneta I’m wearing the black one with white roses today and will use this pattern for #owop17 #sewcialiststnt

pfont has three Ogdens to help with the heat.

#owop17 ‘One Week One Pattern’ hosted by @sewisfaction starts today! – this week I’ll be in shirts from the book #thegentlemanswardrobe – Saturday is a work day for me, so it’s mainly black.

#owop17 Day 2 – Same pattern, new fabric. Out on a bike ride with the nieces, perfect time to wear my bicycle shirt! (I did have a jacket & jumper too!). A very poor display of ironing, but it is the weekend! Thanks to today’s sponsors – @netprinter2013 @tillybuttons @sewisfaction • #mensew #menwhosew #sewcialists #sewcialiststnt #sewingformen

cactus.in.a.teapot has several Emmeline Tees to choose from. This one an upcycled tea towel fom Japan.

#owop17 Day 2 was once a teatowel bought in #tokyo #japan There was just enough fabric to squeeze out a cropped version of the #emmelinetee with red cheesecloth sleeves. #sewcialiststnt @sewisfaction #handmadewardrobe #makersgonnamake #sewingproject @littletailoress @netprinter2013 @tillybuttons

cactus.in.a.teapot also considers the Ogden a TNT. I don’t think nighty at all with this hack.

View this post on Instagram

#bpsewvember Day 23: What was I thinking? I tried to hack the #ogdencami into an #ogdencamidress , but I think I accidentally made a nightgown. 😣 The fabric is from #nipporifabrictown and looked really nice in the shop. Unfortunately whenever I try and wear small print it looks like a nightie. #handmadewardrobe #sewcialiststnt #makersgonnamake #sewingproject

stitchersdaughter found her TNT dress this month! M6696. Beautiful dresses.

View this post on Instagram

When #sewcialists announced that November would be #tnt pattern month, I decided it would be my excuse to find a shirt dress pattern that I really loved. Well, #m6696, I this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship… Both fabrics from @wearethefabricstore, @libertylondon Tana Lawn on the left and a great chambray on the right that the ladies at The Fabric Store pointed out to me. @mccallpatterncompany #sewcialiststnt @sewcialists

farben.freudes TNT is a trace off of a rtw tee. She’s hacked it for nursing.

View this post on Instagram

First breastfeeding/nursing compatible top is finished! I used my TNT jersey top pattern (traced way back when from RTW, which has been made into lots of tops and jersey dress bodices) and @sozoblog 's nursing top hack, which is easy and excellent! I meant to make a nursing-compatible Lola dress for #SewcialistsTNT, which is my ultimative TNT, featuring zips at the empire waist. It's all cut out but I had my baby before I managed to finish it. 😉 This is actually more sensible for lounging around the flat, and I definitely need a couple more. @victorypatterns @sewcialists #sewing #breastfeeding

shanski.gee used M7351 to craft her favorite shirt. 5 and counting.

View this post on Instagram

I now have five of these shirts and plans for at least one more so it's definitely a TNT! I started with McCalls 7351 shirtdress pattern, added a couple of inches to the back pleat for a roomy fit, and extended the bodice using the shape of the skirt. I'm declaring plaid-matching success on the front and back, and please just avert your eyes from the sides. Fabric is cotton shirting from @fabricmart. #sewcialiststnt #sewcialists #curvysewingcollective #imakemyclothes #seattlesews

I've got two "tried and true" patterns cut out for my year-end stash busting project: a chambray #EllaTop by @liola_designs and a black, Swiss dot #OgdenCami by @truebias.
