Sew Stripes Month Instagram Round-Up: February 11 – 20th

Welcome Sewcialists, to the second #SewStripes Round-Up. Becky here, of @sewbeckyjo, and I’m excited to say that sewists around the world have been amazing participants in this Stripes Month Challenge.

As usual: If we missed you, it may be because your Instagram profile is private, it wasn’t clearly marked as a new make for #sewstripes, Instagram’s algorithm was not playing nice, or maybe Becky just didn’t have enough coffee. If you feel your make was missed for February 11-20, please feel free to leave it in the comments.

We are kicking off with this incredible Spring upcycle inspiration. This is a lot of cute in one photo:

I’ve totally done the quick-knit-pencil skirt. It’s the BEST sewjo pick-me-up and I am absolutely NOT sick of seeing this darling knit fabric:

View this post on Instagram

I'm sure everyone is as tired of seeing this striped knit as I am of sewing it.  But I wanted to make something for @sewcialists #sewstripes month, and I still had a bunch of this left over.  This is the pirate pencil skirt by @patternsforpirates and I can't recommend it enough!  It is easy to tape together (no trim pages!), doesn't use much fabric, is fast to sew, and free!  I cut a size too large and in the process of taking in the side seams I ruined my stripe matching. But oh well, it's very comfy and I love how it fits!

Not in love with my new #santafetop from #heyjunepatterns but it's comfy and so soft. Ty kept petting it! View c without the center seams. No added length so it would be more of a t-shirt then a tunic, but I think I'd like it better with an extra inch. . . #sewstripes #sewingtall #imakemyownclothes #sewersofinstagram

My first #2018makenine is the #mandyboattee from @tessutifabrics . I love that with every new project I learn new sewing skills. For this I learned how to use a double needle to get parallel stitching at the neckline and hems. I love the striped fabric for this pattern too. Perfect for February’s #SewStripes from @sewcialists

Ya’ll know I’m kind of a Raglan connoisseur right? Well, I’ve found another favorite- the #visbytop by @itchtostitch! This hooded version has the best placket instructions I’ve seen- and a neat finish on the inside too. And of course, I just couldn’t resist sewing some more stripes for #sewstripes month!

I love this reversible scrap-buster top, and what creative use of African wax print:

View this post on Instagram

I've been wanting to sew with this African fabric for so long! I picked it up in the Central African Republic in 2011. I did use some to make a boppy cover but I really only bought about three yards of it. Which was stupid because I didn't have much left….But in the spirit of #makeyourstash I decided to create a quilted shirt with it. It's cut on the bias to give it some stretch and I used a similar weight black linen for the contrast. Does it count for #sewstripes ? Oh and it's also reversible when I want all pattern in front. #lasvegassews #naptimesewing #curvysewingcollective #sewcialists #memade #selfdrafted up

A post shared by Angela S-M (@anjayphx) on Feb 16, 2018 at 6:52pm PST

This is a great example of one pattern in different fabrics. There’s a heather gray, a ribbed AND stripped version, and a ribbed heather gray version. A solid ribbed knit is a great entry-fabric for playing with stripes.

While I will never get tired of a basic striped t-shirt, if you’re feeling like you need a change, adding a contrast neckband and/or flutter-sleeve shoulders is a fun way to spice it up!

This is one of my favourite dresses. I drafted the pattern off a rtw dress I wore to death, but I at the time I was terrified of sleeves 😂 Thank goodness for dolman sleeves, the ultimate sleeve cheat (especially in a knit). The fabric has pilled, and I knew nothing about finishing necklines in knits when I made it, but I still love it. The very first day I wore it (straight off the machine) a woman stopped me in the street and asked me where I bought it ❤ #sewstripes #sewcialists #smyly2018 #secretpyjamas #plussizesewing

This is the third time lucky after a couple of failed alterations when I didn’t know any better. I’m happy to have extended the life of this dress – it’s 4 years old now! It has morphed into a @tillybuttons #sewingcoco neckline mashed up with a #sewingagnes sleeve and #seamworkmesa skirt. Don’t ask me how I got there!🙈
